Sinopse

Gothic Migration explores the intricate history of the Goths, examining their migrations, their complex relationships with the Roman Empire, and their lasting impact on the transition from Late Antiquity to the medieval world. It challenges the traditional view of the Goths as mere barbarian invaders, arguing instead that they were a dynamic people who significantly shaped, and were shaped by, their interactions with Roman civilization. For instance, the Battle of Adrianople in 378 AD exposed the Roman Empire's vulnerabilities, highlighting the Goths' military prowess. The book emphasizes the Goths' agency in creating new political and cultural entities within former Roman territories, such as the Visigothic kingdom in Spain and the Ostrogothic kingdom in Italy. 

 
The book unfolds chronologically and thematically, tracing the Goths' origins and migrations from Scandinavia to the Black Sea region. It analyzes their initial interactions with Rome as trading partners and allies, then delves into their increasing rivalry and conflicts, including the Barbarian Invasions. Further chapters detail the establishment of Gothic kingdoms, examining their governance, laws, and cultural contributions. By drawing upon historical sources, archaeological evidence, and legal codes, Gothic Migration provides a comprehensive narrative of the Goths' role in the Fall of Rome and the subsequent transformation of Europe.

Bought & Sold - Scotland Jamaica...

Kate Phillips

This book traces the story of how and why thousands of Scots made money from buying and selling humans… a story we need to own. We need to admit that many Scots were enthusiastic participants in slavery.
Union with England gave Scotland access to both trade and settlement in Jamaica, Britain's richest colony and its major slave trading hub. Tens of thousands from Scotland lived and worked there. The abolition campaign and slave revolts threatened Scottish plantation owners, merchants, traders, bankers and insurance brokers who made their fortunes from slave-farmed sugar in Jamaica and fought hard to preserve the system of slavery. Archives and parliamentary papers in both countries reveal these transatlantic Scots in their own words and allow us to access the lives of their captives. 
Scotland and Jamaica were closely entwined for over one hundred years. Bought & Sold traces this shared story from its early beginnings in the 1700s to the abolition of slavery in the British Empire and reflects on the meaning of those years for both nations today.

The Daughter of Man

L.J. Sysko

"This whip-smart collection is a playful celebration of feminine power.”
—Publisher’s Weekly
"Goddam funny ... a clinic in irony. What a beautiful book.”
—Ross Gay
"With the verve of Alice Fulton and the panache of Gerald Stern, Sysko keens into the canon, a welcome voice. Sing, indeed, heavenly muse.”
—Alan Michael Parker
"With electric nerve, L.J. Sysko's savvy and often comic poems careen through American pop culture and the suburban world that infantalizes and traps women. Sysko fixes her gaze on adolescent girls and their trajectory into selfhood—a path that takes them through sexual shame and erasure, and then, as they age, into defiance."
—Anne Marie Macari
2023 Miller Williams Poetry Prize First Finalist
Selected by Patricia Smith
The Daughter of Man follows its unorthodox heroine as she transforms from maiden to warrior—then to queen, maven, and crone—against the backdrop of suburban America from the 1980s to today. In this bold reframing of the hero’s journey, L. J. Sysko serves up biting social commentary and humorous, unsparing self-critique while enlisting an eccentric cast that includes Betsy Ross as sex worker, Dolly Parton as raptor, and a bemused MILF who exchanges glances with a young man at a gas station. Sysko’s revisions of René Magritte’s modernist icon The Son of Man and the paintings of baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi, whose extraordinary talent was nearly eclipsed after she took her rapist to trial, loom large in this multifaceted portrait of womanhood. With uncommon force, The Daughter of Man confronts misogyny and violence, even as it bursts with nostalgia, lust, and poignant humor.

The Self-Aware Universe - How...

Maggie Goswami, Amit Goswami,...

A thought-provoking and stimulating argument that consciousness—not matter—is the true bedrock of creation. 
 
Amit Goswami, PhD, shatters the widely popular belief held by Western science that matter is the primary "stuff" of creation and proposes instead that consciousness is the true foundation of all we know and perceive. 
 
His concise, easy-to-understand explanation of quantum physics, called "a model of clarity" by Kirkus Reviews, sets the stage for a voyage of discovery through the common ground of science and religion, the entwined nature of mind and body, and our interconnectedness with all of creation. 
 
This audiobook is expertly read by Manish Dongardive, with audio engineering by Alexander Brown. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
