Beschreibung

In the heart-wrenching tale of Betwixt the Crowns, we journey back to a time of turmoil and displacement, where the Acadian people, a proud and resilient community, faced the wrath of imperial powers. From their ancestral lands in Acadia, stretching along the Atlantic coast of North America, they were forcibly uprooted and scattered across distant shores.

Amidst the clash of empires, the Acadians' refusal to pledge allegiance to the British Crown ignited a fuse of conflict. In 1755, the British military unleashed a campaign of ethnic cleansing, tearing families apart and exiling thousands to far-flung corners of the world.

Their story is a testament to the indomitable spirit of a people determined to preserve their identity and traditions. Despite the hardships they endured, the Acadians clung fiercely to their language, culture, and faith. They carried their heritage with them as they embarked on a new chapter, rebuilding their lives in unfamiliar lands.

From the windswept shores of Nova Scotia to the fertile valleys of Louisiana, the Acadians persevered, establishing vibrant communities that thrived amidst adversity. Their legacy lives on in the rich tapestry of North American culture, a testament to their unwavering resilience and determination.

Betwixt the Crowns is a poignant exploration of the human cost of war and displacement, a story of loss and renewal that resonates across time. It sheds light on a forgotten chapter of history, reminding us of the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

With vivid prose and meticulous research, this book brings to life the struggles and triumphs of the Acadian people. It is a powerful narrative that delves into the complexities of identity, belonging, and the enduring power of cultural heritage.

    The Language of Climate Politics...

    In an illuminating analysis, Dr. Genevieve Guenther shows that the climate debate is not, in fact, neatly polarized, with Republicans obstructing climate action and Democrats advancing climate solutions. Partisans on the right and the left often repeat the same fossil-fuel talking points, and this repetition produces a centrist consensus upholding the status quo, even as global heating accelerates. 
     
     
     
    Weaving this analysis through fascinating critical histories of the terms that dominate the language of climate politics—the words we, alarmist, cost, growth, "India and China," innovation, and resilience—Dr. Guenther shows how this consensus is established. Fossil-fuel interests weaponize the discourses of science, economics, and activism, co-opting and twisting climate language to help greenwash their plans for ongoing extraction. But all too often climate scientists, economists, and even advocates will unwittingly echo the false and dangerous assumptions of their supposed political opponents. This apparent agreement between foes, filtered through the news media, not only influences our commonsense yet mistaken views about the climate crisis but also enables powerful decisionmakers to justify the corporate and policy actions that threaten us all. Revealing this dynamic, Guenther shows how to transform it.

    Unplagued explores the profound transformation of human civilization in an era largely free from the devastating plagues that once shaped history. This comprehensive volume examines how science, technology, medicine, politics, economics, society, culture, and the environment have evolved in the absence of widespread infectious disease. Through a global lens, the book delves into the triumphs and tensions of the modern world, highlighting both the opportunities and the new challenges that have emerged. It offers a nuanced portrait of a world where humanity’s ingenuity has conquered old threats, only to face new complexities—climate change, inequality, conflict, and the quest for meaning and connection. Drawing on lessons from the past and present, the book invites readers to reflect on the future and the responsibilities that come with progress.

    Building on the success of the previous two books, this third volume helps school leaders develop the confidence and know-how to navigate the new areas judged under the new inspection model.
    Part One offers a clear and concise overview of the new Report Card Framework, pinpointing the similarities with and key differences from its predecessor, the Education Inspection Framework (EIF). Paul also offers clear guidance on how to prepare for the inspection, with particular emphasis on reducing pressure on staff. Part Two introduces the new inspection commentary, which will replace the outgoing School Self-Evaluation Form (SEF). To assist with this, Paul provides a dialogic tool that will help schools provide the most positive picture of their work possible, detailing how to construct a persuasive narrative addressing each inspection area.
    The book also confronts the wider context around school inspections, including contentious debates surrounding Ofsted, the impact of inspections on staff wellbeing, and the tragic death of Ruth Perry. Against this backdrop, he offers a toolkit grounded in experience and compassion to help leaders truly take control and approach their inspections with confidence.
    Suitable for head teachers, senior leadership team members, subject leaders, classroom teachers, governors and all stakeholders in mainstream schools in England.

    The world is desperate for cobalt. It drives the proliferation of digital and clean technologies. But this "demon metal" has a horrific present and a troubled history. 
     
     
     
    The modern search for cobalt has brought investors back to a small town in Northern Canada, a place called Cobalt. Like the demon metal, this town has a dark and turbulent history. 
     
     
     
    The tale of the early-twentieth-century mining rush at Cobalt has been told as a settle's adventure, but Indigenous people had already been trading in metals from the region for two thousand years. And the events that happened here—the theft of Indigenous lands, the exploitation of a multicultural workforce, and the destruction of the natural environment—established a template for resource extraction that has been exported around the world. 
     
      
     
    Charlie Angus reframes the complex and intersectional history of Cobalt within a broader international frame—from the conquistadores to the Western gold rush to the struggles in the Democratic Republic of Congo today. He demonstrates how Cobalt set Canada on its path to become the world's dominant mining superpower.

    Synopsis 
    CEO Larisha Pushkin wants more power. She buys out Lizer, a pharmaceutical company. Yet it is the only company which does what is says; Change Your Life with Lizer. Years ago, the drug ‘figene’ took the World by storm. Described like Crystal Meth with a kick of Viagra. The gem of this opioid, users become who, not what they consume. The drug changes the internal part of the person, not their exterior. Users of the Nap (Napoleon) Ghost, give themselves enhanced charisma, success in most of their affairs. Unknown athletes are now finding endorsement deals. CEOs who were found to be weak are now lions of prowess. 
    The drug’s fatal side-effect is the fate knocker. In the Nap Ghost drug, death at the age 53, imprisonment, and poisoning give users a taste of their dreams. 
    Neuro-Physicist Jim Below founded the company. He refused to create an antidote to the kicker. This move gives Larissa the urgency to take control of the company.  
    Once in love, both Jim and Larissa are now on a collision course. Of course, they dare not speak of it to anyone. Like the rap adage goes, More Money, More Problems.  
    Volume Louder or Two will follow with enough interest. Peace Out. Doc King Cole
