Summary

In the vast and ever-shifting tapestry of history, few peoples have captured the imagination quite like the Khazars. This enigmatic and elusive people once ruled a mighty empire that stretched from the Caspian Sea to the Black Sea, playing a pivotal role in the shaping of Eastern Europe. Yet, by the end of the 10th century, the Khazar Empire had vanished, and the Khazars themselves disappeared from the historical record, leaving behind a legacy of mystery and intrigue that has captivated scholars and historians for centuries.

This book delves into the fascinating world of the Khazars, shedding light on their origins, their rise and fall, and their enduring legacy. Through a comprehensive exploration of Khazar history, culture, and society, readers will gain a deeper understanding of this remarkable people and the profound impact they had on the course of history.

From their humble beginnings as a nomadic people to their transformation into a powerful empire, the Khazars' story is one of resilience, adaptability, and cultural diversity. They were a tolerant and cosmopolitan society, where people of different religions and cultures lived together in peace and harmony. The Khazars were also skilled warriors and traders, and they played a major role in the development of the Silk Road, facilitating trade and cultural exchange between East and West.

However, the Khazar Empire was not immune to the forces of change and upheaval that plagued the medieval world. In the 10th century, the Khazars faced a series of devastating attacks from various enemies, including the Rus, the Pechenegs, and the Mongols. These attacks, coupled with internal strife and political instability, eventually led to the collapse of the Khazar Empire.

Despite their disappearance from the historical record, the Khazars left behind a rich and enduring legacy. Their conversion to Judaism in the 8th century had a profound impact on the development of Jewish culture in Eastern Europe, and their role in the development of the Cyrillic alphabet continues to shape the written languages of Russia and other Slavic countries today.

This book is an invitation to explore the enigmatic world of the Khazars, to unravel the mysteries surrounding their rise and fall, and to appreciate their lasting contributions to history and culture. Through a captivating narrative and meticulous research, readers will gain a deeper understanding of this fascinating people and their enduring legacy.

    Help students use their voices to build an equitable and just society. 
 
 
 
Years of political violence and protests against injustice have revived interest in teaching civics in schools. The problem? Civic education—as it currently exists—privileges systems, not students. It promotes incremental change within a broken democracy rather than responding to the youth-led movements that call for the abolition of inequitable social structures. What will it take to prepare young people for the just future they are fighting for? 
 
 
 
Civics for the World to Come offers educators a framework for designing the critical civic education that our students deserve. Synthesizing perspectives on democratic life from critical race theory, ethnic studies, Afrofuturism, and critical literacy, the book presents key practices for cultivating youth civic agency grounded in equity and justice. The authors explore five world-building civic skills (Inquiry, Storytelling, Imagination, Networking, and Advocacy) and introduce listeners to real learning communities where students and educators are transforming themselves and society.

    Christian Encounters, a series of biographies from Thomas Nelson Publishers, highlights important lives from all ages and areas of the Church. Some are familiar faces. Others are unexpected guests. But all, through their relationships, struggles, prayers, and desires, uniquely illuminate our shared experience. 
A generation of 20th-century Americans knew him as a gentle, stoop-shouldered old black man who loved plants and discovered more than a hundred uses for the humble peanut. George Washington Carver goes beyond the public image to chronicle the adventures of one of history's most inspiring and remarkable men. 
George Washington Carver was born a slave. After his mother was kidnapped during the Civil War, his former owners raised him as their own child. He was the first black graduate of Iowa State, and turned down a salary from Thomas Edison higher than the U.S. President to stay at the struggling Tuskegee Institute, where he taught and encouraged poor black students for nearly half a century. 
Carver was an award-winning painter and acclaimed botanist who saw God the Creator in all of nature. The more he learned about the world, the more convinced he was that everything in it was a gift from the Almighty, that all people were equal in His sight, and that the way to gain respect from his fellow man was not to demand it, but to earn it.
