Sinopse

“New Guinea Wars” explores the intricate history of Papua New Guinea, focusing on the interplay between centuries of tribal warfare and colonial military intervention. It examines how traditional conflict evolved under colonial influence, directly contributing to the political instability and ethnic divisions that plague the nation post-independence. One intriguing fact is that warfare held significant cultural importance in pre-colonial societies, serving as a means of social organization and dispute resolution. Understanding these historical forces is crucial for grasping Papua New Guinea’s contemporary challenges in nation-building and resource management.

 
The book progresses chronologically, beginning with pre-colonial tribal societies and their customary methods of conflict. It then investigates the encroachment of colonial powers, particularly Australia, and their subsequent military interventions. These interventions, while aiming to suppress conflict, often exacerbated tensions and shaped the political structures in ways that continue to resonate today.

 
The book draws on archival documents, anthropological studies, and oral histories to provide a holistic understanding of these complex historical forces, offering valuable insights for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of the Pacific region.

    For centuries, Denmark "punched above its weight" and was a major player on the European stage. Many know about the Danish Vikings and their voyages of conquest and discovery, but Denmark is more than just those medieval raiders and traders, even though interest in their adventures is at an all-time high today.
    Denmark became the first Scandinavian country to convert to Christianity, though this was likely as much to protect themselves from Christian kingdoms to the south and to increase their trade with Christian nations than any love for Christian beliefs.
    Denmark has been at peace since WWII, but its position between the North and Baltic Seas makes it an important part of NATO, allowing it to once more "punch above its weight." But despite its location, Denmark has managed to not only remain at peace but is today ranked as one of the happiest nations on Earth.
    You will discover many astounding facts about Denmark's history in this book. Discover the answer to fascinating questions like the following:
    
    - Does Denmark really appear in the top three of the world's "happiest" countries?
    - Were the Danish Vikings only interested in conquest? And what were their relations like with Europe before the Viking Age?
    - Who was Cnut the Great, and why was he so important in the history of countries like England, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden?
    - Who the current Danish royal family is descended from? (Hint: it is not a Dane!)
    - How and when did Denmark establish the wide-ranging social safety net it is so well-known for today?
    - What role did Germany play in Denmark losing its status as an offensive military power? What was life like for Danish Jews during WWII?  
    You'll find these answers and many more in Captivating History's History of Denmark!

    On October 12, 1492, one of the most important “first contacts” of the modern era was made when three ships of Spanish origin approached the island archipelago now known as the Bahamas, cautiously dropping anchor as the captain of the fleet gazed across to what he assumed was the coast of India. According to the popular version of the story, amazed at the sight of ships and men of such unfamiliar appearance, the native people of the island plunged into the clear waters of the western Atlantic, expertly swimming or aboard dugout canoes, and came out to greet the strangers. 
    	In all probability, the meeting was much more cautious and incremental, but the idea that these innocent people, raised in a tropical Eden, might embrace with such open enthusiasm their own destruction is picturesque, and no doubt appeals to contemporary perceptions. By whatever means one might choose to view it, this meeting of cultures certainly did mark the beginning of a bold new chapter in the history of Europe, and the beginning of the end of an ancient race of native people occupying a vast new continent.  
    	The entries into Christopher Columbus’ log as he recorded his first encounters with the indigenous people of the “Indies” are very telling. The island people arrived alongside his ships, offering humble gifts that Columbus described as “parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things, which they exchanged for the glass beads and hawks' bells.” These were the Taínos people, or the “Arawaks” as they would come to be known, and Columbus described them as “well built…with good bodies and handsome features.”  
    	This description, while deceptively simple, had a chilling implication, because Columbus was not taking note of these facts out of idle interest but in terms of how best to exploit them. As the natives offered up gifts aand by implication the freedom of their islands, Columbus remarked simply on their primitive appearance.

    Unveiling a searing narrative of sacrifice, betrayal, and resilience, The Disgrace of America’s Empire tells the stories of forgotten patriots—Black, Latino, Asian, and LGBTQ+ soldiers who served the United States with valor, only to face discrimination, deportation, and systemic injustice upon their return. 
    Through the lives of these brave men and women, Michael J. Henderson exposes the hidden hypocrisies of American history. From the Tuskegee Airmen fighting racism in the skies to immigrant Marines stripped of citizenship, each chapter captures their fight against the illusion of equality in a nation built on selective freedom. 
    Henderson, a decorated officer and human rights advocate, combines historical research with personal accounts to shine a light on the sacrifices of those who bled for a country that refused to embrace them. This powerful book challenges readers to confront America’s legacy of systemic oppression and inspires action toward justice, inclusion, and healing. 
    A must-read for history enthusiasts, activists, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the untold struggles of marginalized communities in the military and beyond.

    You are a Scrum Master and you have a challenge: 
    You have been hired to "fix" a poorly performing software development team.  When you join the group you find that it is dominated by a very capable by a strong willed woman that the team calls "Bossy Bobbie".  She makes every decision and assigns tasks to all of the other developers.  She follows them up and takes over their tasks if they fall behind.  No one is happy about the situation, but no one seems willing to do anything about it.   
    Now the problem has fallen into your lap.  What do you do about it? 
    This case and the others in the series come from the real-world experiences of a group of Scrum professionals who meet regularly to discuss the Scrum Framework and how to apply it to actual situations they have encountered.  These discussions have been led since 2015 by Frederik Mark Fowler, A Doctor of Scrum and Holder of the Professional Scrum Master level III certification awarded by Scrum.org.  Fred has worked with the Scrum Framework for almost 20 years and has trained more then 300 people to become Scrum Masters and Product Owners.
