Synopsis

In "Samantha on Children's Rights," Marietta Holley employs her signature blend of humor and social commentary to examine the pressing issues surrounding children's rights in a rapidly industrializing America. Through the lens of her beloved character Samantha, Holley articulates a progressive vision for childhood that champions justice, education, and emotional well-being. Written in the late 19th century, the book reflects the era's evolving views on childhood and education, deftly combining satire with heartfelt advocacy, while navigating the complexities of legal and social frameworks governing youth at the time. Marietta Holley, often referred to as the "Mark Twain of womanhood," was a prolific author and social reformer whose lived experiences greatly informed her work. Born into a time of significant societal shifts, Holley witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by women and children. Inspired by her own encounters with social injustice, she infused her writing with a fervent desire to spotlight and eradicate inequalities, particularly in the realms of education and children'Äôs rights. Readers seeking an insightful and entertaining exploration of children's rights will find "Samantha on Children's Rights" to be both enlightening and thought-provoking. Holley's approachable style and keen observations encourage critical reflection on contemporary societal norms, making this not only a historical text but also a relevant commentary on ongoing conversations about children's welfare.

    Adam is caught fooling around with his girlfriend's best friend and has to make a choice. His girlfriend is willing to forgive him if he follows her every order and command. He agrees willingly but is in for a ride he would never ever have imagined. 
      
    Adam is transformed into Abby with the aid of hormone injections, laser treatments, and a rigorous regimen of lust and humiliation. Shrinkage is an obvious side effect of his feminization, and becoming an attractive woman is a slippery slope filled with punishment, degradation, and new partners who expects you to perform like any woman would. 
      
    How will Adam fare as Abby? Will he lose his last shred of masculinity, or will he lose the love of his life? 
      
    PSA: This story contains a desperate man who feels forced into an undesireable situation. He’ll be dominated and humiliated by men and women alike, and gall darned if he doesn’t get off on... things... he never thought possible.

    An atmospheric scientist explains why global climate change mitigation and energy decarbonization demand American diplomacy, technology, and policy 
     
     
      
    Professor of environmental engineering Daniel Cohan argues that escaping the gravest perils of climate change will first require American diplomacy, technological innovation, and policy to catalyze decarbonization globally. Combining his own expertise along with insights from more than a hundred interviews with diplomats, scholars, and clean-technology pioneers, Cohan identifies flaws in previous efforts to combat climate change. He highlights opportunities for more successful strategies, including international "climate clubs" and accelerated development of clean energy technologies. Grounded in history and emerging scholarship, this book offers a forward-looking vision of solutions to confronting climate gridlock and a clear-eyed recognition of the challenges to enacting them.

    The ancient world was full of many fantastic cities and places, and like today’s major cities, the great ancient cities were hubs of trade, religion, and science. Writing was first invented in ancient cities, and many important scientific discoveries were also made in them, some of which are still used in the modern world. Among the many cities of the ancient world, Rome and Athens may come to mind first, but the city of Babylon in the land of Mesopotamia was already an ancient, venerated city when the others were still inconsequential settlements.  
    	Today, Babylon has become a byword for greed, excess, and licentiousness, mostly due to its mention in the Bible, but a closer examination reveals that Babylon was so much more, and even perhaps the most important city in the ancient world. Ancient Babylon was home to great dynasties that produced some of the world’s most influential leaders, most notably Hammurabi and Nebuchadnezzar, and these rulers invoked their wills on the entire ancient Near East and have been remembered as both progressive and cruel all at the same time. Babylon was also the seat of culture in ancient Mesopotamia and the place where scholars made amazing scientific advances that would not be eclipsed for several centuries. An examination of ancient Babylon demonstrates that it was truly the first great city in the ancient world. 
    	Of course, the sheer span of history between Babylon’s power and today has produced plenty of historical questions and controversy. One of the things people most closely associate Babylon with is the Hanging Gardens, which, like the Great Pyramid of Giza, were considered both a technological marvel and an aesthetic masterpiece. Ancient historians believed that the Hanging Gardens were constructed around the 7th century B.C. after the second rise of Babylon.

    Much has been written about Western intervention during the breakup of Yugoslavia, and whether it made matters worse, prevented worse atrocities, or was simply ineffective. In early 1992, however, what was clear was that Europe was hopelessly divided over the best course of action to take towards Yugoslavia, and after several years of fighting, the Bosnian War was one of the most violent conflagrations in Europe since the end of World War II. 
    That war had been the byproduct of centuries of tensions in the Balkans, and an attempt in the wake of World War I to redraw the political boundaries of Europe and the Middle East. That included forming the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, initially known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, a particularly fragile enterprise, and there was almost constant tension between the majority Serbs and the other Yugoslav nationalities, especially the Croats. As a result, the Kingdom was a land of political assassinations, underground terrorist organizations, and ethnic animosities. In 1929, King Alexander I suspended democracy and ruled as a dictator until he himself was assassinated in 1934. 
    Depending on the source, many authors have focused on different catalysts for Yugoslavia’s demise, but Vesna Drapac may have succinctly summed the situation up when he wrote that by the end, the state “lacked a reason to exist.” There is certainly something in this sentiment, but the disintegration came at an enormous cost. Given what happened in Yugoslavia, it should be little surprise the area that eventually became the modern nation of Montenegro has had a turbulent history for millennia, with shifting borders, different degrees of autonomy, and various conflicts occurring within it.
