  The 61 poems in White Terror Black Trauma concentrate on some of the most traumatic events in Black history from colonial to contemporary times, from the arrival of enslaved Africans in 1619 to Black revolts, Civil War atrocities, incalculable lynchings, the Tulsa massacre, the brave sacrifices of Rosa Parks, the Freedom Riders, the heroes of school desegregation, the murders of Emmet Till, Dr. King, Fred Hampton, Malcolm X, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, George Floyd, Breanna Taylor, Eric Garner, and Tyre Nichols. And so many other Black tragedies.  
   
   
  Each poem here carries a brief head note identifying the person, place, time, or event that addresses the historical context of the poem. Some poems are written in a his/her recollection of the historical event. Above all, each poem highlights the topography of Black trauma, be that a Civil War fort, a lynching tree, a prison, a school, an island, a ghetto, a river, a national monument, a church, or city street. These resistance poems are chronicles, laments, petitions, heroic recollections about racial attacks on Black people in America.

  Ancient Empires - The Rise and...

  You are in luck, because you are getting extra material out of this combo. The following topics are going to be addressed: 
  Part 1: The Akkadian Empire is one of the oldest civilizations we know of. Dating back to a few thousand years B.C., it presents itself with some archaeological finds, as well as long-forgotten mysteries and unanswered questions that will probably remain that way. 
  However, despite of the many secrets this advanced, vast empire holds, it could definitely be worth our time to explore some of the things we do know. 
  Part 2: The Byzantine Empire has often been overlooked. Yet, this vast empire last for hundreds of years and has had a major impact on the world religions and politics even into the past century. 
  The Byzantine Empire was heavily influenced by the Romans and the Christian culture. Several centuries A.D. It was marked by conquests, emperors, rules, orthodoxy, and the giant capital of Constantinople (which is now Istanbul). 
  Part 3: The Mongolian Empire was not to be trifled with! Genghis Khan and his followers conquered a vast part of Asia, Europe, and beyond. There aren’t many people who haven’t heard of these conquerors and their achievement. Honor them or despise them, but at least acknowledge their existence. 
  How did the Mongol Empire grow so big? 
  What was it like before the expansion? 
  And how come Mongolia is an area with such a small population now? 
  These questions and many others will be answered in this historical guide. 
  Part 4: The Ottoman Empire was so big and lasted for so long, yet it is one of those empires that many common people have forgotten about. The people who lived in what is now Turkey, and in surrounding areas, were mostly devout Muslims who were defending their beliefs and trying to expand the realm to conquer more territory. Shockingly, the empire was slowly falling apart by the time the 20th century came around the corner.

  The Timeline of Intelligent Life...

  I’m fascinated with Ancient History because there are continuous new discoveries which push back the dawn of civilization by thousands of years. In the last couple of decades, the discoveries at Gobekli Tepe in eastern Turkey pushed back man-made structures to the time period of 9,000-11,000 B.C. Thousands of years before the next know civilizations existed. 
  This book includes my research on ancient sites around the world, underground structures, giants, the destruction of civilization about 10,500 B.C., the real Atlantis, and out of place objects which can be millions of years old. 
  Yes-I’m saying intelligent life has existed on Earth that long, and since humanity and even primates don’t exist in those times at all, aliens must have lived on the Earth at that time. 
  There are three parts to this book: 
  Part One - Millions of Years Ago 
  This includes stories of aliens existing on Earth in our history, and many out of place objects made by intelligent beings, and the fossil record which provides supporting evidence that intelligent life did exist at those times. 
  Part Two - The Unknown Civilizations of Man 
  Here we have evidence of structures built by man but way before any accepted records that civilization or man made constructions existed. Some of these things may go back 100,000 years ago. 
  Part Three – Post Ice Age Civilizations 
  This part includes evidence that the Younger Dryas event was actually comets striking the Earth which caused major disasters and probably the destruction of civilizations about 10,500 B.C. 
  My intention is that this timeline will provide a skeleton of mankind and intelligent life’s early history on Earth which can be filled in overtime to become much more detailed and prove the truth of this point of view to skeptics worldwide.

  Be Fruitful and Multiply - How...

  Donald Worster

  A groundbreaking history that explores how human desires have affected our relationship with the natural world, and why this is a cause for hope Donald Worster looks back over 200,000 years of Homo sapiens to show how human nature, especially the drive for food and sex, has responded to environmental conditions throughout history. Examining how this process led from foraging to the agrarian revolution and then to a capitalist way of life, Worster brings us face to face with a third transformation of human society that is beginning to take shape in China: an ecological civilization. This meticulously researched book explores how human desires have driven us to overrun our environments, and how we have adapted by creating new relationships with the earth. Tying the past to the future and humans to the planet, Worster acknowledges that we are at a potentially dangerous tipping point. Yet he offers a surprisingly optimistic vision, full of faith in the strength of our human desires, to help us develop exciting futures in a changing world—as we have done time and again—and achieve a good life for the billions of us trying to survive on a finite planet.
