Sinopse

In this thought-provoking exploration of the American spirit, author Pasquale De Marco takes readers on a journey through the nation's history, culture, and aspirations, uncovering the enduring pursuit of a perfect world.

From the founding fathers' vision of a new society to the ongoing struggles for equality and justice, the book delves into the transformative power of visionaries who dared to dream of a better world and endeavored to make it a reality.

Through the lens of these visionaries, from Anne Hutchinson to Bill Gates, the book examines the diverse ways in which the American aspiration for perfection has manifested throughout history. It explores the westward expansion, the abolitionist movement, the fight for women's rights, and the ongoing pursuit of equality for all.

The book also grapples with the challenges that have plagued the nation, including deep-rooted inequalities, economic disparities, and social injustices. It examines the ongoing quest for economic opportunity, the evolving nature of American identity, and the nation's role in a rapidly changing world.

With a comprehensive narrative that spans centuries, this book offers a profound reflection on the American dream. It invites readers to contemplate the nation's past, present, and future, challenging them to consider the true meaning of utopia and the role they can play in shaping it.

Thought-provoking and insightful, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the American experience and the enduring pursuit of a perfect world.

    Uncover new sides of family members you've known your entire life with this indispensable guide. 
 
 
 
Just as the oral histories of people around the world are disappearing amid rapid change, there is a risk that your family's personal stories, too, will be lost forever. In The Essential Questions, anthropologist Elizabeth Keating helps you to uncover the unique memories of your parents and grandparents and to create lasting connection with them in the process. 
 
 
 
As you seek to learn more about your family history, how do you get beyond familiar anecdotes and avoid the frustration of oppositional generational attitudes? By asking questions that make the familiar strange, anthropologists are able to see entirely different perspectives and understand new cultures. Drawing on her lifelong work in this field, Keating has developed a set of questions that treat your parents and grandparents not just as the people who raised you, but as individuals of a certain society and time, and as the children, teenagers, and young adults they once were. The Essential Questions helps you to learn about the history of your elders, to see the world through their eyes, and to honor the language they choose to describe their experiences.

• What is the relationship of the brain to the totality of the mind? 
• Fear of not being, fear of isolation, fear of not having pleasure, fear of having 
no relationship, is the soil from which the stem of contradiction grows. 
• I want to be free of this stem to see what happens if there is no attachment, no 
detachment, because I am not afraid.

    Welcome to *The History of War - Volume 1*, an immersive journey through six of history’s most pivotal wars, from the medieval Wars of the Roses to the global devastation of World War II. These conflicts, though separated by time and geography, are deeply interconnected, forming a chain of events that shaped the modern world.  
We begin with the **Wars of the Roses (1455–1487)**, a dynastic struggle that gave rise to the Tudor dynasty and positioned England as a future European power. Then, we delve into the **Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815)**, where Napoleon’s ambitions reshaped Europe and fueled the rise of nationalism—an idea that would spark later conflicts like the Crimean War and World War I. The **Crimean War (1853–1856)** revealed the fragility of empires and the complexities of European alliances, setting the stage for the global power struggles that would come in the 20th century. 
Crossing the Atlantic, the **American Civil War (1861–1865)** reflected the ideological divisions seen in many European conflicts, while its innovations in warfare anticipated the strategies of World War I. **World War I (1914–1918)**, born from unresolved tensions of the Napoleonic era, shattered empires and left Europe in a fragile peace, while the harsh Treaty of Versailles directly led to **World War II (1939–1945)**, the most destructive conflict in history. 
As you listen, you’ll see how these wars, driven by power, ambition, and survival, shaped the world and influenced future conflicts. History’s cycles of war and peace unfold before you, revealing the interconnectedness of these transformative events.

    ADHD Behind Closed Doors is a heartfelt, unfiltered look at what it really means to parent a child with ADHD. It’s not a guidebook or a list of strategies. It’s a raw, honest account of the emotional reality behind the closed doors of families navigating neurodivergence. 
Told through journal entries, personal stories, and the voice of a mother who has lived every word, this book shines a light on the moments we don’t often talk about, the shame, the guilt, the exhaustion, the deep love, and the quiet resilience it takes to keep going. 
Mirka Frommenwiler doesn’t offer easy answers. She offers solidarity. With fierce honesty and deep compassion, she names what often goes unnamed, giving voice to the emotional truth of parenting a child who doesn't fit the mould. 
If you’ve ever felt alone, overwhelmed, or unsure whether anyone else really understands, this book is for you.
