Sinossi

Fur Trade explores the dramatic story of the North American fur trade, highlighting its profound impact on the continent's history. This wasn't just about acquiring beaver pelts; it was a transformative era that reshaped the economic, political, and social landscape, particularly for Indigenous populations. The book reveals how the relentless pursuit of furs fueled rivalries between European powers, such as the Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company, and drove significant economic expansion.

 
The book unfolds chronologically, starting with pre-contact Indigenous trading networks and early European encounters. It dedicates significant attention to the consequences for Indigenous communities, including the alteration of traditional economies and the erosion of sovereignty. By incorporating Indigenous perspectives and experiences, the book offers a unique and balanced understanding of this complex period in history, demonstrating how the fur trade served as a catalyst for irreversible change.

 
The later chapters examine the decline of the trade and its lasting legacies, including westward expansion and ongoing challenges faced by Indigenous communities.

Breaking Bread - A Memoir

Jonathan Jansen

Professor. Pundit. Public nuisance. In his columns, books and on social media, Jonathan Jansen is prolific, and he likes to speak his mind about schools and universities, race, politics and our complex South African society. 
  
He has brought incisive analysis, compassion and a sense of humour to some of the most controversial issues in our country for many years. And now, in this memoir, Jansen goes back to his early years: growing up in a loving, fiercely evangelical family on the Cape Flats, being put on the road to purpose by an inspiring school teacher and becoming the first of his generation to go to university. Journey with Jansen as he finds his passion for teaching high school and becomes a leading academic and thinker amid great transformation in post-apartheid South Africa. 
  
His gift for story-telling and his interactions with people from different walks of life offer moving insights into the intricacies of South African society, insights that are filled with wisdom and leadership lessons. Jansen’s patchwork of memories tells a bigger story than that of his own life. It’s a tale of learning the value of ‘breaking bread’ with others, of finding mutual recognition in our different fears and faiths, our fumbles and fortitude, our hurts and our hopes.

Preventing Nuclear Annihilation...

Ronald Reagan

On March 23, 1983, President Ronald Reagan gave an address to the nation from the Oval Office challenging “the scientific community … to turn their great talents … to the cause of mankind and world peace, [and] to give us the means of rendering … nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete.” Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative to protect America from nuclear annihilation was derided by critics as an unworkable Star Wars program, and the Clinton Administration ended the Strategic Defense Initiative in 1993. There is no effective system in place today to protect the American population from incoming missiles from an expanding list of countries with nuclear capabilities. 
On April 13, 2024, Iran launched, according to Wikipedia, “around 170 drones, over 30 cruise missiles, and more than 120 ballistic missiles toward Israel”. Israel and a coalition of partners, again according to Wikipedia, “destroyed 99 percent of the incoming weapons, most before they reached Israeli airspace.” Damage from the attack was minor. While Israel is protected by an Iron Dome, the United States has no such protection. 
This audiobook includes 4 speeches by President Reagan: His address introducing the Strategic Defense Initiative in 1983, his address to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France in 1985, his address on national security in 1986, and his address on the Soviet-U.S. Summit in 1987.
