Beschreibung

Guam History explores the captivating story of Guam, a small island whose history reflects centuries of colonial ambition and strategic global importance. From the traditions of the Chamorro people to its role in the Spanish Empire, World War II, and beyond, the book examines how Guam's location shaped its destiny. Intriguing facts include the devastating impact of diseases introduced by Spanish colonizers on the Chamorro population and Guam's transformation into a crucial U.S. military base, impacting its economy and cultural identity.

 
The book traces Guam's journey from its pre-colonial heritage, highlighting Chamorro seafaring traditions, to Spanish colonization and the profound cultural shifts that followed. It then shifts to the 20th century, focusing on the Japanese occupation during World War II and the subsequent American recapture, which dramatically reshaped the island. The narrative concludes by examining Guam's current status as an unincorporated U.S. territory, addressing challenges related to sovereignty, economic development, and cultural preservation.

 
Drawing on diverse sources, Guam History offers a nuanced account of the island's past, making it valuable for anyone interested in Pacific history, colonialism, and globalization.

    Monsters of the Upside Down, beware! Travis Langley (author of the acclaimed Batman and Psychology) returns with a group of expert contributors to explore these and other questions to shine a light on true human nature through the Netflix series and cultural phenomenon Stranger Things. When do feelings of grief, guilt, depression, fear, and isolation tear us down, and how do we transform them into hope, inspiration, forgiveness, acceptance, and motivation to do what's right? Growing up is hard enough without metaphors for the dangers that lurk in life's shadows springing to life in the form of monsters, villains, conspiracies, and enemy soldiers. Stranger Things Psychology: Life Upside Down descends into the dark side of adolescence to find the light on the other side of the ultimate coming-of-age story.

    Breathmaker: The History and...

    The Seminole tribe is one of the best known Native American tribes, and one of the most feared among 19th century Americans and Spaniards. In fact, the origin of the term Seminole comes from a Spanish description of them as “wild”, which belies the fact that the Seminole had friendly relations with the British and Spanish during the colonial era.  
    	To appreciate Seminole Native American mythology, their history and origins must be understood. Their forebears, the Muscogee, first migrated into what is now the Southeastern United States from various points in the north and west, which they accomplished by overpowering the indigenous inhabitants. The region was already occupied by several groups, including the Yuchi and Hitchiti, tribes that were likely descendants of the Moundbuilders. These tribes were subdued and then integrated into the Muscogee system. Thus, the traditions, beliefs, rituals, and mythologies of these various groups became the communal belief system of the Muscogee collective.  	 
    	According to the Muscogee, humans emerged “somewhere in the west,” a location described as the “foundation of all things” or the “backbone” of the Earth. Most scholars associate this location with the Rocky Mountains, and they credit the Four Corners area of the United States as being the location for the creation myths of Native American groups like the Pueblo. Though still not commonly understood, Breathmaker became the creator god of the Seminole peoples (the name is also written as Breath Maker and Maker of Breath), and he became the center of a cycle of creation stories.

    Dive into Jonathan Swift’s sharp satire in A Modest Proposal, one of literature’s most famous works of dark humor and social criticism. Written in 1729, Swift offers a shocking "solution" to the poverty and famine affecting Ireland, proposing the unthinkable with a calm, calculated rationale that highlights the cruelty and indifference of the ruling classes. Through biting irony, Swift forces readers to confront the realities of exploitation and dehumanization in society. 
    Narrated by Ian Michael Turrell, this audiobook brings Swift’s complex wit to life. Turrell’s performance captures the serious tone Swift adopts to drive home his satire, immersing listeners in the mock-serious prose and unrelenting logic of Swift’s voice. 
    Perfect for fans of classic literature, satire, and thought-provoking commentary, A Modest Proposal remains as impactful today as when it was first published, challenging listeners to question societal values and human compassion.

    When it comes to relationships, our society has plenty of expectations. We're supposed to know how to speak up for ourselves in bed, be caring partners, and, of course, love ourselves first. But no one tells us how to actually do all those things, and we are left feeling unsatisfied, confused, and ashamed when we don't measure up. Former Deputy District Attorney Rena Martine was in that position. After rejecting the ideal white-picket fence life, she embarked on a journey to redefine intimacy in a way that felt true. In the years that followed, Rena defied all of society's sexual norms, built a presence as a global women's intimacy coach, and created the intimate life she craved. 
     
     
     
    Now she brings those experiences to you! With no-holds-barred honesty, stories from real-life women, and sparkling humor, The Sex You Want will help you: build a secure relationship with your most important partner—yourself; get in touch with your expectations for relationships so you can date more intentionally; demystify lifestyle practices outside of the heterosexual-monogamous-vanilla box with frank discussions of female sexual fluidity, kink, and ethical non-monogamy; find apps, products, and communities to satisfy any curiosity; and bring deep intimacy and exciting variety into your bedroom and beyond.
