Synopsis

Trans Pacific offers a fresh perspective on world history by exploring the Pacific Ocean not as a barrier, but as a dynamic arena for exchange long before European contact. The book challenges Eurocentric views of globalization, revealing the ingenuity and agency of Asian, American, and Oceanic societies in shaping global interactions. It traces the intricate routes of trade, migration, and exploration that connected disparate civilizations, impacting the trajectory of world history.

 
The book first introduces geographical factors and pre-Columbian voyages, highlighting early contact. Then, it examines the transformations brought about by European exploration, focusing on the pivotal role of Manila and the Silver Trade. Finally, it analyzes the long-term consequences of these exchanges, including cultural blending and the spread of diseases.

 
By understanding the pre-existing connectivity across the Pacific, the book compels a re-evaluation of traditional narratives of globalization, acknowledging the contributions of Pacific societies. With an accessible writing style, Trans Pacific interweaves historical analysis with insights from anthropology, archaeology, and oceanography. By drawing from diverse sources, including archaeological findings, indigenous oral histories, and colonial records, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of trans-Pacific interactions, making it a valuable resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in world history, travel, and exploration.

    America’s Disenfranchised - Why...

    Voting is foundational in a democracy, yet over six million American citizens remain stripped of their ability to participate in elections. Once convicted of a felony, people who complete their sentences reenter society, but no longer with the civil rights they once had. They may return to school, secure employment to provide for their families, and become law-abiding, tax-paying citizens―sometimes for decades―and still be denied the voting rights afforded to every other citizen.Desmond Meade, director of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition and a returning citizen himself, played an instrumental role in the landslide 2018 Amendment 4 victory in Florida, which used the ballot box to restore voting rights to 1.4 million Floridians with a previous felony conviction. Meade argues how, state by state, America can do better. His efforts in Florida present a compelling argument that creating access to democracy for those living on the fringes of society will create a more vibrant and robust democracy for all. He is the winner of the 2021 Brown Democracy Medal for his continuing work to restore voting rights and connect Americans along shared social values.

    This nostalgic and absorbing memoir tells the story of a real-life female police detective in post-war Britain, as she navigates a man's world. 
     
    It's 1956, and the Berkshire Constabulary has never had a woman detective before. That is, until bright and ambitious WPC Gwen Crockford passes out of Hendon Detective Training School with flying colours... 
     
    After five years serving as one of Britain's first policewomen, Gwen Crockford becomes one of its first female detectives. Swapping crime prevention for detection, she must soon become comfortable with attending murder scenes and post-mortems, investigating sex crimes and going undercover. Her police work is diverse and challenging: dealing with Teddy boy violence, arson, a paedophile 'war hero', and solving an unexplained death are all part of her remit. 
     
    Gwen is sharp and quick to learn, considered 'one of the boys' by her colleagues, DS Kinch and DS Le Mercier. Until, that is, the traumatizing death of a child, the arrival of a new sexist DS, and near-zero opportunity for promotion force Gwen to reevaluate her career. 
     
    Written and researched by Gwen's daughter Ruth from family papers, remembered stories from her mother and contemporary newspapers, this is a fascinating insight into late-1950s society and the challenges faced by female police officers. 
     
    This is the second book in the Crockford series, following Calling WPC Crockford – Gwen's time as a pioneering uniform policewoman in the early 1950s.

    The American Adam - Innocence...

    R.W.B. Lewis

    Intellectual history is viewed in this book as a series of “great conversations”—dramatic dialogues in which a culture’s spokesmen wrestle with the leading questions of their times. In nineteenth-century America the great argument centered about De Crèvecoeur’s “new man,” the American, an innocent Adam in a bright new world dissociating himself from the historic past. Mr. Lewis reveals this vital preoccupation as a pervasive, transforming ingredient of the American mind, illuminating history and theology as well as art, shaping the consciousness of lesser thinkers as fully as it shaped the giants of the age. He traces the Adamic theme in the writings of Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Melville, Henry James, and others, and in an Epilogue he exposes their continuing spirit in the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, Ralph Ellison, J. D. Salinger, and Saul Bellow.

    This is an immersive audiobook revealing the prophetic timeline found in Genesis, hidden within the Genesis accounts of Joseph, son of Jacob, and his family.   
    Joseph, the son of Jacob, is widely known for his vibrant coat, his interpretation of dreams, and his remarkable rise to power. But beneath the surface of his story lies something even more astonishing—a prophetic timeline for Israel, embedded in the lives of Joseph, his sister, and his brothers. 
    From the giving of the law at Mount Sinai to the revelations of the prophets, and culminating in the Messiah’s unveiling to the House of Israel during the time of Jacob’s trouble, Genesis presents these events in chronological order, concealed within the narrative details of Joseph and his family.  
     
    Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.  
     
    For generations, scholars have overlooked these hidden markers. But now, in our time, the prophetic blueprint within Genesis is revealed.  
    Witness an extraordinary sequence that proves the book of Genesis is not only historically true but prophetically ongoing. Once you view the details from the Genesis author's perspective, you will be amazed and come to know that the book of Genesis is true and not yet finished. 
     
    This audiobook contains some mature subject matter described in the book of Genesis and is therefore intended for an adult audience.
