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.

    It is perhaps our noblest cause, and certainly one of our oldest: to end suffering. Think of the Buddha, Chuang Tzu, or Marcus Aurelius: stoically composed figures impervious to the torments of the wider world, living their lives in complete serenity—and teaching us how to do the same. After all, isn’t a life free from suffering the ideal? Absolutely not, argues Todd May in this provocative but compassionate book. In a moving examination of life and the trials that beset it, he shows that our fragility is actually one of the most important aspects of our humanity. 
     
    May starts with a simple but hard truth: suffering is inevitable. At the most basic level, we suffer physically—a sprained ankle or a bad back. But we also suffer insults and indifference. We suffer from overburdened schedules and unforeseen circumstances, from moral dilemmas and emotional heartaches. Even just thinking about our own mortality—the fact that we only live one life—can lead us to tremendous suffering. No wonder philosophies such as Buddhism, Taosim, Stoicism, and even Epicureanism—all of which counsel us to rise above these plights—have had appeal over the centuries. May highlights the tremendous value of these philosophies and the ways they can guide us toward better lives, but he also exposes a major drawback to their tenets: such invulnerability is too emotionally disengaged from the world, leading us to place too great a distance between ourselves and our experience. Rather than seeking absolute immunity, he argues most of us just want to hurt less and learn how to embrace and accept what suffering we do endure in a meaningful way. 
     
    Offering a guide on how to positively engage suffering, May ultimately lays out a new way of thinking about how we exist in the world, one that reassures us that our suffering, rather than a failure of physical or psychological resilience, is a powerful and essential part of life itself.

    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.

    The fall of the Roman Republic in the late first century BCE paved the way for a new era, one defined by the leadership of a single man: Augustus. Born Gaius Octavius, he emerged as the heir of Julius Caesar and transformed Rome from a state of political turmoil into a stable empire. His rise to power was marked by strategic alliances, military victories, and significant political reforms that laid the foundation for imperial rule. 
    The aftermath of the Republic’s collapse saw Rome in chaos. The assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE triggered a power struggle between his supporters and those who sought to restore the old Republic. Octavian, as he was then known, capitalized on his status as Caesar’s adopted son and formed the Second Triumvirate with Mark Antony and Marcus Lepidus. Together, they pursued and defeated Caesar’s assassins, Brutus and Cassius, at the Battle of Philippi in 42 BCE. However, tensions among the triumvirs soon escalated. Lepidus was forced into retirement, and Octavian turned against Antony, who had allied himself with Cleopatra of Egypt. Their rivalry culminated in the Battle of Actium in 31 BCE, where Octavian’s naval forces decisively defeated Antony and Cleopatra, leading to their eventual suicides. With no remaining challengers, Octavian stood as the unopposed ruler of Rome. 
    Rather than seizing power as a dictator, Octavian carefully crafted his authority to appear as a restoration of Republican values. In 27 BCE, he formally returned power to the Senate, a move that won him widespread support and the honorary title "Augustus." However, this gesture was largely symbolic, as he retained control over the military and key provinces. His governance established the principate, a system in which the emperor ruled under the guise of republican traditions while holding ultimate authority.
