Sinossi

Empire Timelines explores the cyclical nature of empires, examining the political, economic, and military factors influencing their rise and fall throughout world history. The book argues that an empire's ability to adapt in these key areas is crucial for long-term survival. It highlights how political legitimacy, whether through popular support or other means, is vital for maintaining power, and how economic sustainability, driven by innovation and resource management, ensures an empire can support its ambitions. 

 
The book uses case studies of prominent empires like the Roman Empire, the Mongol Empire, and the British Empire to illustrate these dynamics. For example, the Mongol Empire's vast trade networks contributed significantly to its economic strength.

 
By focusing on adaptability, Empire Timelines offers a fresh perspective on imperial history, moving beyond simple narratives of rise and fall. Each chapter builds upon the previous one, culminating in a comparative analysis and insights applicable to contemporary global power structures.

    In 1985, a white man walked into a South Georgia church and brutally murdered Harold and Thelma Swain, two pillars of the area's Black community. For fifteen years, the case remained unsolved. Then authorities zeroed in on Dennis Perry, a carpenter who grew up nearby. Convicted with devastatingly flawed evidence, Perry received a double life sentence. 
     
     
     
    When award-winning journalist and South Georgia native Joshua Sharpe retraces the case, he discovers a winding path of corruption, devastating missteps, and secrets. And he confronts a long-ignored suspect: an alleged white supremacist who had bragged about committing the murders. 
     
     
     
    And even as evidence mounts of Perry's innocence, local officials work to keep him in prison—until Sharpe's reporting forces the state to launch a new investigation. The Man No One Believed tells the unbelievable story of one of the most confounding cases in Georgia history, the extraordinary fight to free an innocent man, and how state officials worked against the odds to deliver justice for the Swains after all. 
     
     
     
    Both a riveting true crime story and a searing indictment of American injustice, The Man No One Believed is a gripping work of literary journalism.

    Unlike people with carefree previous lives, I packed away my past. There are some memories labeled 'Look at', and others 'Leave well alone' . . . 
     
     
     
    Emily Smith was held in a prison of fear for ten years. When she was four, her father left and a new man was brought into her life. He loved her, he kept telling her so, but the emotional and physical abuse she suffered at his hands were a daily nightmare. Until one day, after he crept into her bedroom, her life became unbearable. 
     
     
     
    Emily found she was different in another way as her autism became more noticeable and punishments for her 'abnormal' behavior more severe. Astonishingly, she managed to escape her home of hell, where she was abused right in front of her mother. Emily determinedly gained a university place and emerged triumphant with a new life and family in Ireland, desperate to treat her daughter, so similar to her, to a different life. 
     
     
     
    Heartbreakingly true, Silent Child is a testament to Emily's strength as she sheds light on rampant abuse still happening today. Powerful and shocking, sharing her story means she finally has a voice to say: enough. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    "Imperialism: The Final Stage of Capitalism" by Vladimir Lenin is a foundational Marxist text that explores the economic and political dynamics of imperialism in the early 20th century. Originally published in 1917, this work was a response to the global geopolitical landscape of the time and sought to analyze the nature of imperialism as the highest stage of capitalist development.
    Lenin argues that imperialism represents a new and advanced form of capitalism characterized by the domination of finance capital, the export of capital to foreign territories, the formation of monopolies, and the intensification of international rivalries. He contends that imperialist powers engage in the exploitation of colonies and less developed nations for resources and markets, leading to economic and political subjugation.
    The text also addresses the impact of imperialism on class relations and the working class movement. Lenin contends that imperialism intensifies the contradictions of capitalism, creating conditions ripe for proletarian revolution.
    "Imperialism" remains a significant Marxist analysis that has influenced subsequent discussions on global economics, geopolitics, and anti-colonial struggles. While primarily an economic and political treatise, Lenin's work provides key insights into the intersection of economic power, politics, and class struggle during the imperialist era.

    A journalist and folklorist explores the truths that underlie the stories we imagine—and reveals the magic in the everyday. 
    “I’ve always felt that the term fairy tale doesn’t quite capture the essence of these stories,” writes Emily Urquhart. “I prefer the term wonder tale, which is Irish in origin, for its suggestion of awe coupled with narrative. In a way, this is most of our stories.” In this startlingly original essay collection, Urquhart reveals the truths that underlie our imaginings: what we see in our heads when we read, how the sight of a ghost can heal, how the entrance to the underworld can be glimpsed in an oil painting or a winter storm—or the onset of a loved one’s dementia. In essays on death and dying, pregnancy and prenatal genetics, radioactivity, chimeras, cottagers, and plague, Ordinary Wonder Tales reveals the essential truth: if you let yourself look closely, there is magic in the everyday.

    What if the greatest threat to justice isn't just political corruption or social ignorance, but a spiritual force masquerading as righteousness? 
    In The Serpent's Empire: Unmasking the Demonic Power Behind Racial Hatred, Dr. Michael J. Henderson delivers a fearless and prophetic exposé on the spiritual and systemic roots of racism in America. This is not just a book—it is a spiritual weapon, cutting through centuries of lies upheld by whiteness, weaponized Christianity, and silent complicity. 
    From the slave ships to the sanctuary, from lynching trees to legislative halls, Henderson unveils how racial hatred has been sustained by principalities of darkness-and how many churches have baptized that hatred in the name of God. But this book does not stop at exposing evil. It speaks the truth. It honors the testimony of the oppressed. And it calls forth the lions those who will no longer bow to empire, but rise in holy resistance. 
    This is a book for the truth-tellers, the justice seekers, the wounded warriors, and the unashamed prophets. If you've ever felt like your faith didn't fit inside the walls of injustice, this book will affirm your fire. If you've ever been told to stay silent, this book will give you back your roar. The serpent is real. The empire is now exposed, and the Lion in you is about to roar.
