Summary

"Green Children" delves into the enduring medieval mystery of two children with green skin found in 12th-century Suffolk. Examining historical anomalies through the lenses of science and history, the book analyzes primary source accounts alongside potential medical explanations for their unusual pigmentation. The book explores the historical context, considering the limited medical knowledge and cultural exchanges of the era to understand what can be credibly stated about this strange occurrence. Did a rare skin condition explain their color or was folklore at play? The book adopts a balanced approach, evaluating both historical and scientific possibilities rather than accepting the tale as purely factual or mythical. Investigating medieval chronicles, medical history, and cultural exchange, the work seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the case. It's crucial to understand medieval societal structures and beliefs to avoid misinterpreting the story through a modern perspective.

 
Structured in three parts, the book first introduces the original accounts and their historical setting. It then explores potential medical conditions that might cause green skin, assessing their plausibility in the 12th century. Finally, it analyzes the impact of cultural exchange on local narratives, culminating in a reasoned perspective on the events while acknowledging the limitations of drawing firm conclusions.

    Pipestone - My Life in an Indian...

    Best known as a leader of the Indian takeover of Alcatraz Island in 1969, Adam Fortunate Eagle now offers an unforgettable memoir of his years as a young student at Pipestone Indian Boarding School in Minnesota. In this rare firsthand account, Fortunate Eagle lives up to his reputation as a "contrary warrior" by disproving the popular view of Indian boarding schools as bleak and prisonlike. 
     
     
     
    Fortunate Eagle attended Pipestone between 1935 and 1945, just as Commissioner of Indian Affairs John Collier's pluralist vision was reshaping the federal boarding school system to promote greater respect for Native cultures and traditions. But this book is hardly a dry history of the late boarding school era. Telling this story in the voice of his younger self, the author takes us on a delightful journey into his childhood and the inner world of the boarding school. Along the way, he shares anecdotes of dormitory culture, student pranks, and warrior games. Although Fortunate Eagle recognizes Pipestone's shortcomings, he describes his time there as nothing less than "a little bit of heaven." 
     
     
     
    Were all Indian boarding schools the dispiriting places that history has suggested? This book allows listeners to decide for themselves.

    As a trainee doctor, Andrew Lees was enthralled by his mentors: esteemed neurologists who combined the precision of mathematicians, the scrupulosity of entomologists and the solemnity of undertakers in their diagnoses and treatments. For them, there was no such thing as an unexplained symptom or psychosomatic problem – no difficult cases, only interesting ones – and it was only a matter of time before all disorders of the brain would be understood in terms of anatomical electrical and chemical connections.
    Today, this kind of 'holistic neurology' is on the brink of extinction as a slavish adherence to protocols and algorithms – plus a worship of machines – runs the risk of destroying the key foundational clinical skills of listening, observation and imagination that have been at the heart of the discipline for over 150 years. In this series of brilliant, insightful and autobiographical essays, Andrew Lees takes us on a kind of Sherlock Holmes tour of neurology, giving the reader insight into – and defending – the deep analytical tools that the best neurologists still rely on to diagnose patients: to heal minds and to fix brains.

    Includes maps, photos, and firsthand accounts of participants: “There is no better book on this vital chapter in American history.” —Terry Copp, author of Fields of Fire   Combining the personal recollections of soldiers with historical narrative and analysis of the actual invasion as it unfolded, this detailed description of the action at Omaha Beach during the Normandy invasion of World War II comes from “the top living D-Day historian” (USA Today).   “Anyone who wants to know anything about Omaha Beach, where the fighting was heaviest and bloodiest, must begin with this foundational book…The research is unparalleled and comprehensive enough to satisfy even the most skeptical scholar, yet the story is absorbing. The carnage of Omaha Beach comes to life with vivid contemporary descriptions from participants and witnesses, while the whole tale is deftly steered along by Balkoski’s steady narration and his sense of the battle’s larger significance. ‘History can provide at least a little solace that there was some meaning to it all,’ he writes movingly. ‘D-Day was the decisive chapter of a twentieth century Iliad.’ Indeed it was—and Balkoski is its Homer.” —The Wall Street Journal   “Balkoski makes officer and enlisted-men’s first-person testimony the center of this account.” —Publishers Weekly   “Intensely researched and definitive.” —Army magazine   “Balkoski’s depiction of ‘Bloody Omaha’ is the literary accompaniment to the white-knuckle Omaha Beach scene that opens Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan.” —The New York Post   “The best D-Day-related book I have read.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

    This is an introduction to The Tao of Human Interactions. 
    I decided to write this book because of the need for an effective system of managing and enhancing people's ability to communicate. Its applications span business as well as personal interactions. It can be a simple way of assessing the personalities of people around you and enabling you to better interact with them. I've played the role of an employee in middle management as well as upper management. One essential skill for any good manager is communication. It is important to be able to assess the people you are managing and also to be able to effectively deliver the correct messages. It is not only important to deliver the ideas, but it also needs to be done in a way that impacts the audience correctly. An effective manager must also assess and manage the emotional states of the people involved. I have spent a good part of my life working as an employee and in upper management and middle management. I have also consulted management for many different types of organizations in the public as well as the private sector. I have worked in specific industries such as transit, technology, public works, city government, the military, and hospitality. My approach has always been to try to create effective modes of interaction and communication between employees and middle management, as well as between management and upper management. 
    This book is concerned mostly with daily interactions at the employee level. The system and skills taught can be applied to any interaction in the business and personal life. Management systems are often well thought out and well structured, but quite often, they do not lend themselves to the chaotic, on-the-spot timber of human interactions. The Tao of Human Communications is a system rooted in present-moment fluid interactions. If you would like to get the full version or other audiobooks, search SULI Daniel Johnson in most audio bookstores.

    Fuel and Power - Energy Trade...

    This is a very timely study of Russia's development into a global energy power from the Russian Revolution to the present day. Beginning in the late nineteenth century, Russia emerged not only as a key producer but also as one of the world's leading exporters of oil. Russia's transformation into a modern global power was connected to its ability to make use of its vast natural resources and produce energy in increasing quantities. While the development of Russia's energy industry went hand in hand with a profound sociopolitical and economic transformation, the book also tells the story of international cooperation and competition, transnational exchanges, and transborder interdependencies. Through energy exports, Russia shaped global energy flows and connections; at the same time, the growth of international trade impacted the views and decisions of Russian leaders, affecting the fabric of the country's foreign relations and, ultimately, the course of Russian history.
