Summary

Civic Engagement Drivers explores the multifaceted issue of why citizens participate in governance, or why they don't. It examines both the individual motivations and the structural factors that either encourage or impede civic action, essential for a healthy democracy. A key insight is that understanding these dual influences—personal values alongside societal structures like electoral systems and government policies—is vital for boosting public participation. For example, having political knowledge is important, but so is having an accessible way to use that knowledge through participation in community organizing. The book uniquely integrates individual-level motivations, such as trust in government and social capital, with broader structural considerations like campaign finance regulations and media landscapes. Providing a comprehensive model, the book progresses from defining core concepts to examining individual factors and then structural influences. It draws upon decades of research, including large-scale surveys and case studies. This comprehensive approach offers practical strategies for policymakers, community organizers, and educators, providing concrete recommendations for enhancing civic engagement and addressing the ongoing debates about declining participation.

    We all grow up with the assumption that everybody perceives the world in the same way that we do and, as an adult, live what we feel to be normal lives and interact socially just like anyone else. Imagine what would happen to you if you found out that you are really very different, that you have been compensating all of your life and that what you considered normal behavior was actually an elaborate coping mechanism you had created for yourself. Your world suddenly changes. That's what happened to me when I found out I was face blind.This book recalls numerous true instances from my life that are highly amusing when seen from the point of view of someone who is not face blind. It also provides both an entertaining as well as an enlightening read about the intricate methods I developed in order to get by, and my perception of the world as a person who did not know he was face blind.This book also deals with how my life would have been different if I had learned earlier in life that I was face blind, and how my life dramatically changed after I did learn about it.I conclude with a word of caution to well meaning parents and clinicians who might identify face blindness in their child.This second edition was written six years after the first and includes how I learned to cope with the knowledge I am face blind. I share my coping mechanisms and explain how I am able to deal with people.

    Roman and Byzantine Armies The:...

    The Roman army is one of the most famous fighting forces in history. Through its power and prowess, a once obscure Italian city forged an empire that encircled the Mediterranean and covered half of Europe. The physical remains of its presence can be traced from the mountainous borders of Scotland to the arid deserts of Egypt, but its legacy is far greater and more enduring, as Rome's influence continues to shape the political, legal, and cultural landscape of Europe to this very day. 
While the Roman army is rightly famed as an institution, the image of the individual legionary is also an iconic one. The uniformed, disciplined soldier of the late Republic and early Empire is one of the first things many people imagine when they think of Rome. They are the ultimate image of the ancient soldier, their arms and armor instantly recognizable. Their abilities, not only as warriors but also as engineers and administrators, have made them role models for other soldiers through the centuries. In the same vein, their commanders are still celebrated and studied, and generals the world over have tried to emulate the likes of Julius Caesar. 
The Byzantine Empire was the heir to two great cultures that cradled and nurtured European civilization: Greece and Rome. Constantinople, now called Istanbul, became a center of power, culture, trade, and technology poised on the edges of Europe and Asia, and its influence was felt not only throughout Europe but the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, and the Far East. In reality, Byzantium was a strong, organized, highly effective and adaptable civilization for most of its long history. It owed its success in no small part to its military, which, in contrast to the feudal armies of Western Europe and the tribally based forces of the Middle East, operated with a high level of discipline, strategic prowess, efficiency, and organization.

They are the most mysterious of beings. Gods, angels, aliens or ordinary men with incredible knowledge and wisdom. Nobody is sure. 
 
The culture of Mesopotamia is rich and complex. Historians have been slowly unravelling their secrets. From the Epic of Gilgamesh to the many references of them in other cultures, the mystery of the anunnaki is becoming more clear. 
 
To Western eyes their ways are strange. Over hundreds of years they have been called Gods and angels and now in our modern age many see them as aliens visiting earth and bringing great knowledge. 
 
The truth of their real origin and purpose is much more bizarre and amazing than anything previously believed. Prepare to witness the demystification of a sacred and ancient past. Prepare to see the anunnaki as they really were. And in so doing we will discover the truth about so many other things. From the Garden of Eden to the Great Flood; from the God of the Bible to the secrets of Enoch - all shall be revealed.

    From 1845 to 1852, the Great Hunger, also referred to as the Potato Famine, was a period of a lot of starvation and illness in Ireland. The period was known in Irish at the time as a Drochshaol, loosely translated as "the hard days," with the most badly affected districts in the west and south of Ireland, where the Irish language was popular (or actually "the bad life"). 
The year 1847, at times called "Black '47," was the absolute worst year of the period. Around 1 million people died and over a million left the nation throughout the Great Famine, triggering the nation's population to come by 20% to 25%, with certain cities coming by as much as 67 percent between 1841 and 1851. And between the years 1845 and 1855, about 2.1 million people were leaving Ireland, primarily aboard package ships but also on steamboats and barks. This actually made it one of the biggest mass migrations from a single isle in all of history. 
Let’s explore this tragic event in history, and let’s see what led up to this, what happened afterwards, and how historians look at it now.
