Summary

Slavery Trade examines the transatlantic slave trade, emphasizing its profound and lasting impact on American history and the world. This exploration of history doesn't just recount events; it seeks to understand the roots of racial inequality and the economic disparities that persist today. The book begins by detailing pre-existing slavery systems in Africa and European economic conditions, setting the stage for understanding the immense demand for enslaved labor in the Americas. The book underscores how the transatlantic slave trade was foundational to America's economic, social, and political structures.

 
It traces the development of slavery across the Americas, detailing the horrific conditions endured by enslaved people, their resistance efforts, and the economic impact of their forced labor on industries like cotton, sugar, and tobacco. Furthermore, it examines the rise of abolitionist movements, highlighting key figures and the factors that led to slavery's eventual abolition.

 
Finally, Slavery Trade addresses the long-term consequences of slavery, including the legacies of racial discrimination and systemic inequalities. By using extensive historical records, the book provides a comprehensive analysis, connecting the past to contemporary discussions about race, inequality, and social justice.

    For eight centuries, the Texas frontier has seen conquest, exploration, immigration, revolution, and innovation, leaving to history a cast of fascinating characters and captivating tales. Its historic period began in 1519 with Spanish exploration, but there was a prehistory long before, nearly fifteen thousand years earlier, with the arrival of people to Texas. Each story pulls a new perspective from this long history by examining nearly all angles—from archaeology to ethnography, astronomy, agriculture, and more. These true stories prove to be unexpected, sometimes contrarian and occasionally funny, but always fascinating. Join author and historian C. Herndon Williams as he recounts his exploration of nearly a millennium of the Texas frontier.

Men of their time?
Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, and George Whitefield were the three most prominent early evangelicals—and all three were deeply compromised on the issue of slavery. Edwards and Whitefield both kept slaves themselves, and Wesley failed to speak out against slavery until near the end of his life.
In Ownership, Sean McGever tells the true story of these men's relationships to slavery: a story that has too often been passed over or buried in scholarly literature. Laying out the dominant attitudes among Christians toward slavery at the time, McGever sets these "men of their times" in their own context, inviting us to learn how these shapers of American evangelicalism contributed to the tragic history of racism in America. He also explores how Christians finally began to recognize that slavery, which they'd excused for most of Christian history, is actually wrong. It's a story that white evangelicals must wrestle with today.
Ownership is more than a book of history. It's an invitation to examine our own legacies and to understand—and take ownership of—both our heritage and our own part in the story.

    A new assessment of the Falklands War from the Argentine perspective.

In 1982, the United Kingdom and Argentina fought a war over an historical disagreement over the colonial “ownership” or rights over the Falkland Islands. Within months of the Argentinian defeat, General Edgardo Calvi, then the Argentine Head of the Army Joint Chief of Staff, was instructed to undertake a wide-ranging and formal inquiry to investigate the performance of the Argentine Army during the Falklands. Calvi concluded that while the Army had the motivation, it lacked the organization, equipment, training, and ability to oppose an army capable of operating in a variety of environments. The war exposed political, military, and public weaknesses in a period of considerable internal unrest during the seven years of the Dirty War. Several senior officers who fought in the Falklands were imprisoned for offenses committed during the Dirty War. Secrecy and political disagreements isolated the Service chiefs of staff from the logistic and operational planning. This book tells the story of the Falklands War from the Argentine Army perspective.

    This book is like a walk in the park chat about my journey through drug addiction. It tells the story of how we got started at the early age of 10 years old smoking marijuana. For fourteen years of my life, this led to the hallucinogens, snorting cocaine, drinking alcohol and that dangerous monster; crack cocaine. We were able to come through this dangerous lifestyle and live to document the steps that we were able to take to free ourselves from this living hell. We are honored to share this process in hopes that we can reach the hearts and minds of all who will walk this path with us, as we are now 29 years free and clear of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes as a result of "Walking The Road To Recovery; 9 Steps In Motion. Enjoy.
