Sinossi

In Homesteading through the Centuries, we embark on a captivating journey through the history and enduring legacy of homesteading in America. This comprehensive guide offers a fresh perspective on the homesteading experience, delving into the motivations, challenges, and triumphs of those who dared to tame the wilderness and forge a life off the land.

From the Homestead Act of 1862, which opened up millions of acres of public land to settlers, to the present-day homesteading movement, this book traces the evolution of homesteading practices and philosophies. We explore the diverse homesteading experiences across different regions, from the Great Plains to the Pacific Northwest, and uncover the unique challenges and opportunities that each landscape presented.

More than just a historical narrative, Homesteading through the Centuries also examines the relevance of homesteading in the 21st century. In an era of increasing environmental awareness and concerns about food security, homesteading offers a compelling alternative to modern consumer culture. We learn from the wisdom of homesteaders past and present, gleaning insights into sustainable agriculture, food preservation, and community building.

Whether you are a history buff, a homesteader, or simply someone curious about a simpler way of life, this book has something to offer. With vivid storytelling and engaging historical accounts, Homesteading through the Centuries captures the essence of this enduring tradition and inspires us to explore our own homesteading dreams.

Discover the enduring legacy of homesteading and its relevance in the modern world. Homesteading through the Centuries is a celebration of self-sufficiency, resilience, and the human spirit. Join us on this journey through time and learn from the pioneers who shaped the American landscape and left a lasting legacy of grit, determination, and ingenuity.

    Why is it so difficult to love someone with ADHD? 
    Can you no longer cope with your partner’s behavior? 
    Does attention deficit disorder strain your romantic relationship? 
      
    Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can cause misunderstandings, frustrations and resentments; even in close-knit romantic relationships. 
      
    There are lots of couples in which one or both partners have ADHD. All of this can become a dark tunnel with no way out. 
      
    If you’re in a relationship with someone who has ADHD: 
    ·       You may feel tired of taking care of everything on your own and being the only responsible party in the relationship. 
    ·       You may feel angry and emotionally blocked. Anger and resentment permeate many interactions with the ADHD spouse. 
    ·       You may feel lonely, ignored and unappreciated. 
    ·       You don't feel like you can count on your partner. You always have to organize everything to make up for his or her forgetfulness. 
    ·       You feel frustrated. A non-ADHD spouse might feel as if the same issues keep coming back over and over again. 
    ·       Sometimes it seems that your partner doesn't care about you. 
    ·       You feel exhausted and depleted. The non-ADHD spouse carries too many responsibilities and no amount of effort seems to fix the relationship. 
      
    You deserve better! 
      
    If you would like a book that will help you to finally understand why your spouse acts in certain ways and enables you to make their lives and your own life better, then this book is for you! 
      
    The light at the end of the dark tunnel can be found!

    Children's Rights - A Global...

    Children represent the future of our societies, yet they remain among the most vulnerable and marginalized populations worldwide. The protection of children's rights has become one of the most critical global issues in the 21st century, demanding urgent attention and action. While significant progress has been made in raising awareness of children's rights, millions of children still suffer from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and deprivation. This complex and multifaceted issue requires an in-depth understanding of the challenges children face, as well as the actions needed to safeguard their well-being. 
      
    At the core of children's rights is the belief that every child, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or economic background, deserves to grow up in an environment where they can thrive. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948, set the stage for international human rights legislation, but it was the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), adopted in 1989, that provided a comprehensive framework for child protection. This treaty, ratified by nearly every nation, outlines civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights for children, recognizing their right to life, education, protection from violence, and participation in the decisions that affect their lives. 
      
    However, despite these legal frameworks, violations of children's rights continue at an alarming rate. Poverty, armed conflict, lack of access to education, child labor, and human trafficking are among the many issues that continue to affect children around the world. These issues often intersect and exacerbate one another, creating a cycle of vulnerability that is difficult to break. It is essential that global efforts to protect children are strengthened, and that all sectors of society—from governments to NGOs to the private sector—work together to ensure the full realization of children's rights.

    Thomas Paine: Common Sense -...

    Common Sense is a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1775–76 that inspired people in the Thirteen Colonies to declare and fight for independence from Great Britain in the summer of 1776. In clear, simple language it explained the advantages of and the need for immediate independence. It was published anonymously on January 10, 1776, at the beginning of the American Revolution and became an immediate sensation. It was sold and distributed widely and read aloud at taverns and meeting places. Washington had it read to all his troops, which at the time had surrounded the British army in Boston. In proportion to the population of the colonies at that time (2.5 million), it had the largest sale and circulation of any book published in American history. 
    Common Sense presented the American colonists with an argument for freedom from British rule at a time when the question of whether or not to seek independence was the central issue of the day. Paine wrote and reasoned in a style that common people understood. Forgoing the philosophical and Latin references used by Enlightenment era writers, he structured Common Sense as if it were a sermon, and relied on Biblical references to make his case to the people. He connected independence with common dissenting Protestant beliefs as a means to present a distinctly American political identity. Historian Gordon S. Wood described Common Sense as "the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire revolutionary era".

    Timmy Overton of Austin and Jerry Ray James of Odessa were football stars who traded athletics for lives of crime. The original rebels without causes, nihilists with Cadillacs and Elvis hair, the Overton gang and their associates formed a ragtag white trash mafia that bedazzled Austin law enforcement for most of the 1960s. Tied into a loose network of crooked lawyers, pimps, and used car dealers who became known as the "traveling criminals," they burglarized banks and ran smuggling and prostitution rings all over Texas. Author Jesse Sublett presents a detailed account of these Austin miscreants, who rose to folk hero status despite their violent criminal acts.
