Sinopsis

Journey back to a time of contradictions, where the ideals of freedom and equality were proclaimed, yet the institution of slavery cast a dark shadow over the land. This book unveils the hidden chapters of African American history during the colonial era, shedding light on the complexities and struggles of a people determined to break the chains of oppression.

Through captivating storytelling and meticulous research, this book brings to life the experiences of enslaved and free African Americans, revealing their resilience, resistance, and unyielding pursuit of a better life. From the arrival of the first Africans in the English colonies to the birth of the American nation, this book traces the evolution of slavery, the rise of abolitionist movements, and the long struggle for civil rights.

Discover the stories of Crispus Attucks, a symbol of resistance in the Boston Massacre; Phillis Wheatley, a voice for freedom through poetry; and Benjamin Banneker, a man of science and enlightenment in a slave society. Witness the horrors of the Middle Passage, the resilience of maroon societies, and the fight for freedom on the high seas.

This book is not merely a recitation of historical facts; it is an exploration of the human spirit, a celebration of courage, and a call to action. It invites readers to confront the legacy of slavery and its enduring impact on American society, and to work towards a more just and equitable future for all.

Delve into the rich tapestry of African American history during the colonial era and uncover the untold stories of those who dared to dream of liberty and equality, even in the darkest of times.

    The Inevitable Revolution

    "Men should believe in the law of love in the same way that they now believe in the inevitability of violence."
    
    The Inevitable Revolution (1909) is one of Tolstoy's last major works of non-fiction, focusing on themes of civil disobedience, pacifism, and anarchism. The author criticises prisons, parliaments, wars, conscription, capitalism, theft, revolutionary violence, and taxes, while praising the message of love found in Christianity and acknowledging similar teachings in other religions. He believes that adherence to the law of love offers practical solutions to the societal issues he critiques and essentially calls for a moral awakening among individuals to live non-violently and to not condone violence in any form.
    
    This essay serves as a profound reflection of Tolstoy's later philosophical views and its discussions on non-violence and ethical living continue to resonate today.
    Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was a Russian novelist, philosopher, and social reformer, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of all time. He is best known for his epic novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, both celebrated for their intricate character development and profound exploration of moral dilemmas and human nature. In his later years, Tolstoy experienced a spiritual awakening which led him to reject materialism and embrace a life of simplicity, seeking to align his life with his beliefs about non-violence and compassion. Tolstoy's legacy endures not only through his literary masterpieces but also through his profound impact on literature and philosophy.

    An eye-opening analysis of collegiate activism and its effects on the divisions in contemporary American politics.  
     
    The past six years have been marked by a contentious political atmosphere that has touched every arena of public life, including higher education. Though most college campuses are considered ideologically progressive, how can it be that the right has been so successful in mobilizing young people even in these environments? 
     
    As Amy J. Binder and Jeffrey L. Kidder show in this surprising analysis of the relationship between political activism on college campuses and the broader US political landscape, while liberal students often outnumber conservatives on college campuses, liberal campus organizing remains removed from national institutions that effectively engage students after graduation. And though they are usually in the minority, conservative student groups have strong ties to national right-leaning organizations, which provide funds and expertise, as well as job opportunities and avenues for involvement after graduation. Though the left is more prominent on campus, the right has built a much more effective system for mobilizing ongoing engagement. What’s more, the conservative college ecosystem has worked to increase the number of political provocations on campus and lower the public’s trust in higher education. 
      
    In analyzing collegiate activism from the left, right, and center, The Channels of Student Activism shows exactly how politically engaged college students are channeled into two distinct forms of mobilization and why that has profound consequences for the future of American politics.

    Following on from the hugely popular Treasury of Folklore: Seasand Rivers and Woodlands and Forests comes Treasury of Folklore: Stars and Skies, an exploration of the mysteries of the stars, skies and heavens above.
    People have gazed up at the same stars for millennia, trading stories about them; conjuring gods and goddesses; mapping the constellations; and navigating the complex human world below. The tales, traditions and myths included here traverse countries and continents and have been chosen to highlight how humans are linked through time and place, with shared dreams, fears and ways of rationalising the unknown.
    Under 'Stars and Heavens' Willow delves into rosy fingered dawn and the hubris of Icarus, the Greek myths surrounding the constellations and the omen of meteors, the trials of the Hawaiian goddess Hina and the legend of the rabbit in the moon. In the section on 'Skies' we are introduced to winged Pegasus and the Firebird, the Witch of Westray and stories of storms, the mysteries of the Northern Lights and unexplained UFOs. 
    Treasury of Folklore: Stars and Skies is a fascinating portal into a rich history of myths surrounding the sky, an aspect of the natural world that continues to fascinate and confound.

    Roman Architecture - Building...

    Roman architecture emerged as a distinctive style that blended elements from earlier civilizations, primarily Greek and Etruscan influences. As Rome expanded from a small settlement into a powerful empire, its architectural identity evolved, incorporating new techniques and materials that allowed for grander and more functional structures. The early foundations of Roman architecture set the stage for innovations that would shape the empire’s urban landscape for centuries. 
    One of the most significant influences on Roman architecture came from the Etruscans, a civilization that dominated central Italy before Rome’s rise. The Etruscans were skilled builders who introduced techniques such as the use of the arch and vault, both of which would later become hallmarks of Roman engineering. Etruscan temples, with their high podiums and deep porches, also served as models for early Roman religious structures. Another major influence was Greek architecture, which Romans admired and adapted to suit their needs. The Greeks provided inspiration in the use of columns, decorative friezes, and symmetrical design, elements that were later integrated into Roman temples, public buildings, and monuments. 
    Roman architectural development was also shaped by advancements in building materials and construction techniques. The early Romans initially built using wood and mudbrick, but as they refined their skills, they transitioned to more durable materials like stone and concrete. The introduction of concrete was a groundbreaking innovation, allowing for stronger and more flexible structures. Unlike the Greeks, who relied heavily on marble, the Romans preferred concrete for its affordability and adaptability, enabling them to construct larger and more complex buildings, such as amphitheaters, aqueducts, and domes.
