Sinopsis

Maori Wars explores the 19th-century conflicts between the Maori, New Zealand's indigenous people, and British settlers, a clash profoundly shaping the nation's identity. It examines complex issues like land rights, breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi, and colonial expansion, revealing the Maori's fierce resistance against the British Empire's military might. The book argues these wars were more than battles; they represented the Maori's struggle for cultural survival, challenging narratives of inevitable colonial dominance and highlighting their resilience.

 
The book unfolds chronologically, starting with pre-colonial Maori society and the Treaty of Waitangi. It then analyzes escalating tensions, key battles, and the wars' aftermath, assessing the impact on Maori land ownership, political representation, and cultural identity. Through primary and secondary sources, including personal letters and oral histories, Maori Wars provides a balanced account of the cultural conflict, emphasizing the importance of understanding historical injustices to address contemporary issues of inequality and reconciliation in New Zealand.

    Ambush at Central Park - When...

    In 1922, three of the Irish Republican Army's top gunmen arrived in New York City seeking ven­geance. Their target: "Cruxy" O'Connor, a young Irishman who kept switching sides as revolution swept his country in the wake of World War I. Cruxy's last betrayal dealt a blow to Ireland's struggle for independence: six of his IRA comrades were killed when he told police the location of their safe house. A year later, the IRA gunned him down before a crowd of horrified New Yorkers. 
     
     
     
    Based primarily on first-hand accounts, most of them never before published, Ambush at Central Park is a cinematic exploration of the enigma of "Cruxy" O'Connor. 
     
     
     
    Author Mark Bulik delved through Irish government archives, newspaper accounts, census data, and unpublished material from the families of the main actors. Together they add to the story of a rebel ambush, a deadly police raid, a dinner laced with poison, a daring prison break, a boatload of tommy guns, an unlikely pair of spies who fall in love, and an assassination plot against the British cabinet. 
     
     
     
    Here is a forgotten chapter of Irish and New York history: the story of the only officially authorized IRA attack on American soil. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    How to Focus - A Monastic Guide...

    Distraction isn't a new problem. We're also not the first to complain about how hard it is to concentrate. Early Christian monks beat us to it. They had given up everything to focus on God, yet they still struggled to keep the demons of distraction at bay. But rather than surrender to the meandering of their minds, they developed powerful strategies to improve their attention and engagement. How to Focus is an inviting collection of their strikingly relatable insights and advice—frank, funny, sympathetic, and psychologically sophisticated. 
     
     
     
    This wisdom is drawn from John Cassian's Collationes, one of the most influential manuals for monks from late antiquity. The Collationes follow Cassian and his friend Germanus as they travel around Egypt, asking a series of sage monks how they can make their minds stronger. In response, these monks offer a range of techniques for increasing focus, including setting goals, training the body, managing the memory, using mantras, taking breaks, consulting others—and, most of all, being honest about yourself. As Cassian and Germanus eventually realize, we can't escape distraction—but we can learn how to confront it and, eventually, to concentrate. 
     
     
     
    Featuring an engaging new translation by Jamie Kreiner, How to Focus can help even the least monkish of us to train our attention on what matters most.

    The Spanish Influenza Of 1918

    The 1918 Influenza Pandemic moved worldwide in three waves, infecting up to 500 million people and causing over 40 million deaths. Several things tended to be present in areas that ended the pandemic with lower mortality rates than average. These include low rates of poverty, widespread access to healthcare, well-funded and general public health measures, and well-managed record keeping. Areas that ended the pandemic with high mortality rates tended to lack the above – they had high rates of poverty, limited access to healthcare, public health measures were unfunded or ineffective, and recordkeeping and communication were unreliable or unclear. It is essential to learn from the success and mistakes of nations passed so that we as a planet are better prepared for any pandemics that should arise in the future. Preparing involves high vaccination rates, fighting drug-resistant pathogens, and working to lower global poverty.
