Sinossi

In "Historical Difficulties and Contested Events," Octave Delepierre navigates the complexities of historical narratives, exposing the often-contentious nature of historical interpretation. Through meticulous analysis, Delepierre unpacks significant events fraught with debate, highlighting how different perspectives shape our understanding of the past. His literary style is characterized by a blend of academic rigor and accessible prose, making this work essential for both scholars and general readers interested in the historiographical debates surrounding pivotal moments in history. Delepierre, a noted Belgian historian and bibliography expert, draws from his extensive background in literature and historical studies to illuminate the subtleties of memory and interpretation in history. His expertise in bibliographic research and passionate engagement with historical texts serve as a foundation for this work, ensuring a thorough critique of how historical controversies arise and persist. This context informs his exploration of how bias, perspective, and social factors influence historical narratives and their reception. This thought-provoking book is highly recommended for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of historical interpretation and its complexities. Delepierre's insights foster critical thinking, allowing readers to grapple with the challenging notion that history is not merely a record of events, but a dynamic discourse shaped by varying viewpoints.

    Why do companies rate applicants based on their initial impression, even when they know it's incorrect and often misleading? 
    Why do individuals smoke, drink excessively, and consume foods that are harmful to their health? 
    How can ordinarily educated individuals come to believe in false news? 
      
    Let's go back in time to Victorian England to find out. 
      
    Corsets were required for ladies in Victorian times, according to a well-known anecdote. It's debatable how prevalent corsets were, but they compressed a woman's body like a snake, making her waist seem thinner. 
    Corsets were effective but so tight that they caused internal harm to women. They also induced atrophy in a woman's lower back. 
    Corsets were so constricting that ladies often collapsed while wearing them! 
      
    But here's the twist... 
      
    It was thought that fainting while wearing a corset was a good thing! It was seen as a sign of excellent breeding. 
    That is why we decided to write this book. You'll find the following inside: 
     The myths that lead to Aztec human sacrifice and how they are still prevalent todayRats transmit illness and plague, yet a "Temple of Rats" was built in India due to this mistaken notion.How to make oneself "stupid" since teaching brighter people is HARDER!Why you should be wary of anybody who quotes an authoritative figure 
      
    ...And so much more!

    An explosive satire of gender stereotypes that flips patriarchy on its head to highlight sexist double standards. 
     
    Exploring subjects like work and comedy, history and sport, the beauty industry and domesticity, anonymous author Man Who Has It All imagines a world in which men are bombarded with the same stereotypical bullshit as women. What if men's t-shirts were emblazoned with slogans encouraging them to be smiley, positive and kind? What if we laughed at jokes about fathers-in-law and male drivers? What if men's history was a niche topic? Behind the jokes about crazy cat gentlemen, testerical men and the 24-hour moustache, lies a deeper, darker message about language, power and control. 
     
    Smart and provocative, Man Who Has It All shines a powerful light on the prejudice ingrained in our society. Told through fictionalised scenarios and wider cultural analysis, this is a feminist handbook that will arm you against the patriarchy.

    ‘You are no longer a number’  
    Poland, 1944The train slowed and halted with a squeal of the breaks. It felt like we waited in the carriage for an eternity, but eventually, the heavy doors opened, directly into the chaos inside. 
    Sara Leibovitz, a 16-year-old Jewish girl, was a passenger on the train with her family. They spent their final moments together on the platform in Auschwitz before their horrific fates were sealed. Sara’s mother and baby brothers were sent straight to their deaths. Her father was made to work in the Sonderkommando as one of the men forced to remove the bodies from the gas chambers, and was later executed. Sara survived. 
    This is the powerful true story of Sara Leibovits and the incredible pain and hardships she went through during her time in the death camp. Yet despite the horrors she faced, she always tried to maintain her family’s values of courage, faith and kindness to others. In this compelling memoir, Sara’s story is intertwined with that of her daughter, Eti. Seventy years after the horrors of the Holocaust, Eti reveals the inherited trauma of the second generation and completes the Holocaust survivor’s tale.What readers are saying about The Girl Who Survived Auschwitz:

    Systemic - How Racism Is Making...

    Layal Liverpool spent years bouncing from doctor to doctor, each one failing to diagnose her dermatological complaint. Just when she'd grown used to the idea that she had an extremely rare and untreatable skin condition, one dermatologist, after a quick exam, told her that she had a classic (and common) case of eczema and explained that it often appears differently on darker skin. Her experience stuck with her, making her wonder whether other medical conditions might be going undiagnosed in darker-skinned people and whether racism could, in fact, make people sick. 
     
     
     
    The pandemic taught us that diseases like Covid disproportionately affect people of color. Here, Liverpool goes a step further to show that this disparity exists for all types of illness and that it is caused by racism. In Systemic, she shares her journey to show how racism, woven into our societies, as well as into the structures of medicine and science, is harmful to our health. Refuting the false belief that there are biological differences between races, she goes on to show that racism-related stress and trauma can however, lead to biological changes that make people of color more vulnerable to illness, debunking the myth of illness as the great equalizer. Liverpool reveals the fatal stereotypes that keep people of color undiagnosed, untreated, and unsafe, and tells us what we can do about it.
