Beschreibung

Thanksgiving History explores the evolution of Thanksgiving from a harvest celebration to a complex national holiday. The book delves into the historical roots, examining the interactions between Pilgrims and the Wampanoag, highlighting how cultural exchange, political agendas, and evolving social values shaped the holiday. Interestingly, Sarah Josepha Hale played a crucial role in promoting Thanksgiving as a unifying national symbol, leading to Abraham Lincoln's official proclamation during the Civil War.

 
The book traces Thanksgiving's journey, starting with pre-colonial America and Native American agricultural practices. It then examines the Pilgrims' arrival and the 1621 harvest celebration. Finally, it analyzes modern traditions, including Thanksgiving dinner and family gatherings, while also addressing contemporary critiques and calls for a more inclusive representation of Native American history.

 
This book offers a fresh perspective by moving beyond simplified narratives. It provides a critical analysis of the holiday's historical development and its ongoing impact on American society, making it valuable for anyone seeking a more nuanced understanding of this national holiday and its many Thanksgiving traditions.

    A brand new crime-fighting western series from Casey Nash has arrived! This is "Jubal Stone: U.S. Marshal" and if you're a criminal—he's coming to get you!The frontier was no place to hang your hat if you were a coward or weakling, and sometimes even the strong and brave fell victim to the violence that stalked the land and plagued this new and untamed country. Such was the case with Sheriff Joe Stone and his family.Joe was a man's man from his narrow-brimmed hat down to his tarnished iron spurs. He had a hickory spine and anvils for fists. A lawman for over twenty-five years, Joe Stone split his time as a Texas ranger and sheriff, keeping law and order in frontier towns all over the Texas territory. Yet, because of the incessant pleadings from his wife, Millie, and his own desire to live a more tranquil life, Stone checked his badge, hung up his shootin' iron, and took up raising cows and a few head of horses. Together, with their daughter and son, they were committed to make a go of it, and had started well.With two-and-a-half decades behind the star, Joe, like other lawmen with his tenure, he had plenty of enemies. Unfortunately, the last who tried achieved their mission. Four killers showed up at his ranch one day, bank robbers recently released from prison, men Stone had put behind bars. They ambushed Joe and his family, shooting them down like dogs.However, the assassins made a grave mistake that fateful day. They failed to confirm that fourteen-year-old Jubal, shot and left for dead, was indeed dead. Now, eight years later, Marshal Jubal Stone wears a badge of his own. A .44 Colt sits low on his hip in a dark brown, well-worn leather holster latched down to his leg, both gun and holster his pa's.Now behind a United States Marshal's badge, Jubal Stone will show no mercy when he crosses paths with killers, highbinders, and outlaws foolish enough to challenge his authority. He's curry combing the frontier in search of his family's killers, but in the meantime, he will mete out justice along the way.

    The Golden Age Restored is a stunning piece of alchemical work that is vivid in its descriptions and a Jungian utopia for dream analysis and analogy of the individuation process.Originally written in 1622 by a German physician and alchemist under the pseudonym Henry Madathanas, The Golden Age Restored was published publically in the Musaeum Hermeticum (1625) and later translated into English by Arthur Edward Waite in his work The Hermetic Museum, Vol. I (1893). Waite's version of the text has been diligently edited by Jones so that it can be easily digested by modern readers.Jones has also included a foreword introducing the text and diligently footnoted the work to give meaning and context to the original writing.

    An astonishing window into the inner world of plants, and the cutting-edge science in plant intelligence. 
     
     
     
    Decades of research document plants' impressive abilities: they communicate with one another, manipulate other species, and move in sophisticated ways. Lesser known, however, is the new evidence that plants may actually be sentient. Although plants may not have brains, their microscopic commerce exposes a system not unlike the neuronal networks running through our own bodies. They can learn and remember, possessing an intelligence that allows them to behave in adaptive, flexible, anticipatory, and goal-directed ways. 
     
     
     
    A leading figure in the philosophy of plant signaling and behavior, Paco Calvo offers an entirely new perspective on plant biology. In Planta Sapiens, he shows for the first time how we can use tools developed in animal cognition studies in a quest to deeply understand plant intelligence. He illuminates how plants inspire technological advancements: from robotics and AI to tackling the ecological crisis. Most importantly, he demonstrates that plants are neither objects nor resources; they are agents in themselves, and for themselves.

    In the Second World War, Poznan was a key river crossing and railway junction on the Polish-German border. When the alarm was given indicating the Red Army's approach in January 1945, the city's 80-100,000 German civilians were speedily evacuated, leaving a garrison of some 15,000 men, mostly poorly-armed infantry, to face the rigors of a siege conducted by a massively superior and ruthless enemy anxious to acquire this transport center, which was vital for the advance on Berlin. 
     
     
     
    This is the account of Eastern Front veteran Richard Siegert, the gunner and later commander of the defenders' sole Tiger tank. Since the death of the driver in a futile attempt to escape from a PoW camp in Russia just after the end of the war, Siegert is the only survivor of that crew able to pass its record on to posterity. His account details how the crew fought gallantly against impossible odds, even when the Tiger was immobilized and could only act as a stationary antitank gun post or pillbox during the last heroic days' fighting for the citadel.
