Sinossi

Richard Nixon was a complex and enigmatic figure who left an indelible mark on American history. His presidency was marked by both great achievements and deep scandals, and his legacy continues to be debated today.

This book offers a fresh perspective on Nixon's life and career, drawing on new sources and insights to provide a more nuanced understanding of the man and his presidency. The book explores Nixon's early life and influences, his rise to power, his triumphs and failures as president, and his legacy.

Nixon was a brilliant politician who achieved some significant accomplishments during his presidency. He opened relations with China, signed the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty with the Soviet Union, and ended the Vietnam War. However, he was also deeply flawed and ultimately brought down by his own actions. The Watergate scandal, in which Nixon attempted to cover up his administration's involvement in a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters, led to his impeachment and resignation.

Nixon's legacy is complex and controversial. He was a man of contradictions, capable of both great achievements and deep moral failings. This book provides a balanced and insightful assessment of Nixon's presidency, offering a new perspective on one of the most consequential figures in American history.

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in American history, politics, or the human condition. It is a thought-provoking and insightful look at a man who was both brilliant and flawed, and whose presidency had a profound impact on the United States and the world.

    Survival strategies for communicating in a notification-saturated world 
     
     
     
    As our ability to pay attention in a world of distractions vanishes, it's no wonder that our ability to be heard and understood—to convey our messages—is also threatened. Whether working with our teams and customers or communicating with our families and friends, it is increasingly difficult to break through the digital devices that get in the way of communication. And the ubiquity of digital devices means that we are often "multicommunicating," participating in multiple conversations at once. As a result, our ability to be socially present with an audience requires an intentional approach. 
     
     
     
    This increased strain on attention has never been more clear than during the global pandemic, when our homes suddenly accommodated both work and family life. What are our options when facing professional communications at all hours? Do we ask for the technology to be put away at the dinner table? Establish other ground rules? What about using digital communications to our advantage—how can we facilitate information-sharing in the midst of a world where we are overwhelmed with content?

    Mapuche Empire - The Defenders...

    The origins of the Mapuche people trace back thousands of years, long before the arrival of Europeans in South America. They are one of the most resilient and enduring indigenous groups in the region, with a deep-rooted history in present-day Chile and Argentina. Archaeological evidence suggests that their ancestors inhabited these lands for at least 2,000 years, developing a distinct culture shaped by the diverse landscapes of the Andean foothills, valleys, and coastal regions. 
    The name "Mapuche" itself reflects their strong connection to the land, as it derives from "mapu" (earth) and "che" (people), meaning "people of the land." This bond influenced their way of life, from agriculture to spiritual beliefs. They cultivated maize, potatoes, quinoa, and beans while also engaging in hunting, fishing, and gathering. Unlike some of the great civilizations of South America, such as the Inca or the Maya, the Mapuche did not build massive stone cities. Instead, they lived in small, scattered settlements made up of rucas, traditional thatched-roof houses constructed from wood and straw, designed to withstand the varied climate of their territories. 
    Language played a crucial role in shaping the Mapuche identity. They spoke Mapudungun, a unique language that remains central to their culture today. Unlike the Quechua language of the Andes, which spread widely due to the influence of the Inca Empire, Mapudungun remained relatively isolated, preserving its distinct linguistic structure. Oral tradition was the primary means of passing down knowledge, with elders recounting stories, myths, and historical events that shaped the collective memory of the Mapuche people.

    The Ashanti Empire, flourishing from the 17th to the 19th century in what is now Ghana, stands as a testament to the resilience and sophistication of African states. This powerful kingdom was established through a unique blend of indigenous cultural traditions and political innovations, creating a centralized authority that not only governed a vast territory but also unified diverse ethnic groups under a single national identity. At the heart of this unity was the revered Golden Stool, a symbol of divine providence and the collective spirit of the Ashanti people. 
    Emerging from a landscape rich in natural resources and strategic trade routes, the Ashanti Empire developed robust economic foundations. Gold, kola nuts, and other valuable commodities flowed through well-established networks, facilitating both internal prosperity and external exchanges with neighboring regions and distant trading partners. This economic strength enabled the empire to invest in military expansion and administrative structures that further consolidated its power. 
    The political organization of the Ashanti Empire was characterized by a sophisticated hierarchy led by the Asantehene, whose authority was both political and spiritual. This dual role was crucial in maintaining social order and ensuring loyalty among the various clans and communities within the empire. The administration was further supported by councils of elders and local chiefs, who played significant roles in the governance process by mediating disputes and enforcing the laws that held the society together.
