The Tapestry of the Past

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

In the tapestry of time, every thread tells a story. Some threads are bright and vibrant, while others are dark and faded. Some threads are long and winding, while others are short and broken. But each thread, no matter how small or insignificant, contributes to the overall pattern of history.

This book is an exploration of the tapestry of the past, a journey through the ages to discover the stories of those who came before us. We will meet kings and queens, heroes and villains, ordinary people who made extraordinary sacrifices, and those whose names have been lost to time.

We will travel to ancient civilizations, where we will witness the rise and fall of empires. We will walk the battlefields of history, where we will see the horrors of war and the bravery of those who fought for what they believed in. We will sit in the halls of power, where we will witness the decisions that shaped the world.

But this book is not just about the great events of history. It is also about the everyday lives of ordinary people. We will learn about the hopes and dreams of those who lived in the past, and the challenges they faced. We will see how their lives were shaped by the forces of history, and how they, in turn, shaped the world around them.

Through this journey, we will come to a deeper understanding of the human condition. We will see that, despite our differences, we are all connected by the threads of time. We will learn from the mistakes of the past, and we will be inspired by the triumphs of those who came before us.

This book is an invitation to explore the tapestry of the past, to discover the stories of those who came before us, and to learn from their experiences. It is a book that will change the way you see the world.

Black History - The History of...

Kelly Mass

This book contains 2 topics, which are subdivided into a first and second section. The topics are these:
Topic 1: The history of African-Americans has been complicated and controversial. While some will fight against racism, others deny the severity of it throughout the ages. Whether or not the issue is as serious as it used to be, is a separate topic for debate.
In this guide, you will not read much about opinions but about facts. Society has come a long way since the inauguration of slavery and suppression of the minority in the United States. As leaders stood up and laws have been adjusted one by one, more freedoms have been secured to what nowadays constitutes about 10-20% of the population. Whether it’s enough, is another question that divides political enthusiasts.
You will learn more about the first slavery, the rise of the cotton market in the southern states, the abolitionism of slavery, the separation, and individuals like Martin Luther King and Malcolm X who have made a significant impact on the common perspective on these issues. Many things have changed over the past two centuries. Let’s find out what.
Topic 2: The Haitian Revolution has played a big role in the history of abolishing slavery. Its significant influence on the Civil War in the United States in the 1860s has probably been underestimated by many.
The English and French already had conflicts elsewhere, and the Napoleon wars greatly contributed to these disagreements. Aside from that, the nation of Haiti was still in its early stages, with plantations being populated by African slaves the settlers had captured and brought into servitude. Abuse and exploitation were common faces in many people’s lives, but the Haitian Revolution brought many changes to that.

The instinct of workmanship

Thorstein Veblen

"The Instinct of Workmanship" is a book written by Thorstein Veblen, an American economist and social theorist. The book was published in 1914 and explores the relationship between humans and their work. 
Veblen argues that the instinct of workmanship is a fundamental human trait that drives individuals to create and produce. This instinct is rooted in our desire to improve our own lives and the lives of those around us. However, Veblen also contends that this instinct is often hindered by the influence of social and economic institutions, such as the profit motive, the division of labor, and the competitive nature of capitalist markets. 
Veblen explores the implications of these hindrances for individual well-being, social progress, and economic development. He argues that the current economic system is inefficient and wasteful, and that it fails to promote the full expression of the instinct of workmanship. He proposes alternative economic and social structures that could better facilitate the development and expression of this instinct, such as a society based on collective ownership and control of production. 
Overall, "The Instinct of Workmanship" is an important contribution to the fields of economics and sociology, and it remains relevant to contemporary debates about the nature and purpose of work, the role of institutions in shaping human behavior, and the possibilities for creating a more just and equitable society.

Sex Work and COVID-19 in the New...

Gwyn Easterbrook-Smith

New Zealand’s relatively recent decriminalisation of sex work and its unusual success in combatting COVID-19 have both attracted international media interest. This accessibly written book uses the lens of news media coverage to consider the pandemic’s impacts on both sex workers and public perceptions of the industry. Analysing the stigmatisation of sex work in both short- and long-term contexts, the book addresses the impacts of intersectional oppressions or marginalisations on sex workers, and the ways sex work advocacy relates to other social justice movements. It unpicks how New Zealand’s decriminalisation approach functions under stress, offering valuable information for advocates, activists and scholars.

Economic and Social History of...

Anya Solace

El Salvador, the smallest country in Central America, has a rich and complex history shaped by its geographic location, indigenous cultures, and colonial experiences. This chapter serves as an introduction to the key historical, economic, and social factors that have defined El Salvador’s development, providing essential context for understanding its contemporary challenges and achievements.
The country’s geographic features, including volcanic mountain ranges, fertile valleys, and extensive coastlines, have significantly influenced both its early human settlement and later economic development. El Salvador’s topography has led to a concentration of population in the central valley area, where the capital, San Salvador, is located. Over time, this concentration of population has resulted in social and economic disparities between urban and rural areas. Additionally, El Salvador’s location at the crossroads of ancient Mesoamerican civilizations played a key role in the cultural and economic foundations of its indigenous groups, such as the Pipil and Lenca, who developed sophisticated agricultural and trade systems long before Spanish colonization.
The indigenous peoples of El Salvador had complex social and political systems, with distinct languages, traditions, and economies. The arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the early 16th century brought dramatic changes. The conquest led to the decimation of indigenous populations through disease, warfare, and forced labor. Spanish colonization introduced European economic systems such as the encomienda system, which granted settlers control over indigenous labor in exchange for protecting and converting them to Christianity. This marked the beginning of a long history of exploitation and social stratification in El Salvador, which would have lasting effects on the country’s development.
