Bending the Arc of Destiny

Pasquale De Marco

Beschreibung

In the annals of human history, few nations have captured the imagination like the United States of America. A nation born from revolution, forged in unity, and tempered by adversity, America's story is a testament to the enduring power of human spirit.

This comprehensive volume invites readers on an enlightening journey through the tapestry of American history, from its humble beginnings to its emergence as a global superpower. Through vivid storytelling and meticulous research, we explore the pivotal moments and enduring legacies that have shaped the nation we know today.

From the founding fathers' bold declaration of independence to the Civil War's transformative struggle for equality, from the frontier's rugged expansion to the industrial revolution's transformative impact, we witness America's rise to prominence. We delve into the nation's involvement in world wars, its triumphs and tragedies, and its unwavering pursuit of a more perfect union.

With captivating prose and insightful analysis, this book sheds light on the complex interplay of politics, economics, social movements, and cultural shifts that have defined America's trajectory. We encounter iconic figures, both celebrated and controversial, whose actions and decisions shaped the course of history.

But beyond the grand narratives, we also explore the lives of ordinary Americans—the immigrants, the laborers, the dreamers—whose collective efforts and sacrifices built the nation's foundation. Their stories, too, are an integral part of the American tapestry.

As we turn the pages of this book, we gain a deeper understanding of the forces that have shaped America's past, present, and future. We confront the nation's triumphs and failures, its ideals and its contradictions. And we come away with a renewed appreciation for the resilience, ingenuity, and boundless optimism that have always been the hallmarks of the American spirit.

**Delve into the rich tapestry of American history and discover the stories that have shaped a nation.**

The Sea Kings - The Late Norse...

R. Andrew McDonald

The archipelagic kingdoms of Man and the Isles that flourished from the last quarter of the eleventh century down to the middle of the thirteenth century represent two forgotten kingdoms of the medieval British Isles. They were ruled by powerful individuals, with unquestionably regnal status, who interacted in a variety of ways with rulers of surrounding lands and who left their footprint on a wide range of written documents and upon the very landscapes and seascapes of the islands they ruled. Yet British history has tended to overlook these Late Norse maritime empires, which thrived for two centuries on the Atlantic frontiers of Britain.
This book represents the first ever overview of both Manx and Hebridean dynasties that dominated Man and the Isles from the late eleventh to the mid-thirteenth centuries. Coverage is broad and is not restricted to politics and warfare. An introductory chapter examines the maritime context of the kingdoms in light of recent work in the field of maritime history, while subsequent chronological and narrative chapters trace the history of the kingdoms from their origins through their maturity to their demise in the thirteenth century. Separate chapters examine the economy and society, church and religion, power and architecture.

Touch the Future - A Manifesto...

John Lee Clark

A revelatory collection of essays on the DeafBlind experience, and a manifesto on the power and untapped potential of touch. 
 
 
 
Born Deaf into an ASL-speaking family and blind by adolescence, John Lee Clark learned to embrace the possibilities of his tactile world. He is on the frontlines of the Protactile movement, which gave birth to an unprecedented tactile language and a way of life based on physical connection. 
 
 
 
In a series of paradigm-shifting essays, Clark reports on seismic developments within the DeafBlind community. In "Against Access," he interrogates the prevailing advocacy for "accessibility" that recreates a shadow of a hearing-sighted experience. In the National Magazine Award–winning "Tactile Art," he describes his relationship to visual art and encounters with tactile sculpture. He advocates for "Co-Navigation," a new way of guiding that respects DeafBlind agency and offers a brief history of the term "DeafBlind." As warm and witty as he is radical and inspiring, Clark welcomes listeners into the exciting Protactile landscape and celebrates the hidden knowledge that can be gained through touch.
