Sinopse

Colonial America was a time of great change and upheaval, as European settlers arrived in droves, bringing with them their own cultures, traditions, and technologies. This period in American history is often romanticized, but it was also a time of hardship, conflict, and inequality.

In this captivating book, we take a journey into the everyday lives of the people who lived in colonial America. We explore their homes, their food, their clothing, their work, their leisure activities, and their religious beliefs. We also examine the political, economic, and social forces that shaped their lives.

We begin our journey in the early 17th century, when the first permanent English settlements were established in North America. We follow the colonists as they spread out across the continent, establishing new colonies and building new lives. We witness the conflicts that arose between the colonists and the Native Americans, as well as the conflicts that arose between the colonists themselves.

We also explore the cultural and intellectual developments that took place during this period. We learn about the Great Awakening, the Enlightenment, and the American Revolution. We also examine the role that slavery played in colonial society.

By the end of this book, we will have a better understanding of the challenges and triumphs of the people who lived in colonial America. We will also have a better understanding of the roots of American culture and identity.

**Through the Colonial Lens** is a comprehensive and engaging look at one of the most important periods in American history. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about the people and events that shaped the United States.

  • My March Through Hell - A Young Girl's Terrifying Journey to Survival - cover

    My March Through Hell - A Young...

    Halina Kleiner, Edwin Stepp

    A young girl is suddenly all alone and on the run from the Nazis in her hometown in Poland. Having survived an aktion that was intended to completely rid Czestochowa of all the Jews, she and her father try to make their way back to their home during the late hours of the night. 
     
     
     
    Confronted by a policeman, Halina Goldberg unexplainably runs away from her father and begins her long journey of survival. When tired of fleeing, she volunteers to go into a work camp. That decision buys her some time because the Germans need labor for the war effort. Halina works in three different camps from the Fall of 1943 to January 1945. At first, the camps are bearable, even though the prisoners are worked hard and fed very little. But as the Germans begin to lose the war, the conditions turn deathly. The Jews become overrun with disease and their captors grow crueler and crueler. 
     
     
     
    As it becomes clear that the war is lost, the SS empty the camps and set over 2,000 women on a four-month long march that would cover over 800 kilometers during one of Europe's coldest winters on record. Halina was one of the only 300 who survived the Volary Death March and finally felt the need to record her hellish story of survival.

    The Republic by Plato is a philosophical text that addresses the question of justice. In the text, Plato argues that justice is not simply a matter of following the laws of the city, but rather is something that must be based on the ideal state of the city. For Plato, the ideal state is one in which all citizens are able to participate in the ruling of the city.

    The Expanding Circle - Ethics...

    What is ethics? Where do moral standards come from? Are they based on emotions, reason, or some innate sense of right and wrong? For many scientists, the key lies entirely in biology—especially in Darwinian theories of evolution and self-preservation. But if evolution is a struggle for survival, why are we still capable of altruism? 
     
     
     
    In his classic study The Expanding Circle, Peter Singer argues that altruism began as a genetically based drive to protect one's kin and community members but has developed into a consciously chosen ethic with an expanding circle of moral concern. Drawing on philosophy and evolutionary psychology, he demonstrates that human ethics cannot be explained by biology alone. Rather, it is our capacity for reasoning that makes moral progress possible. In a new afterword, Singer takes stock of his argument in light of recent research on the evolution of morality.

    Otto Kretschmer was only in combat from September 1939 until March 1941 but was Germany's highest-scoring U-boat commander, sinking forty-seven ships. This definitive work details his personal story and the political backdrop from his earliest days. 
     
     
     
    After completing his officer training and time on the training ship Niobe, he served aboard the light cruiser Emden. In December 1934, he was transferred to the light cruiser Köln, then in January 1936 made the move to the fledgling U-boat service. During the Spanish Civil War, Kretschmer was involved in several patrols as part of the international non-intervention force. 
     
     
     
    He demonstrated a cool approach to combat: his mantra "one torpedo for one ship" proved that the best way for his boat to succeed against a convoy was to remain surfaced as much as possible, penetrating the convoy and using the boat's high speed and small silhouette to avoid retaliation. 
     
     
     
    His nickname "Silent Otto" referred to his ability to remain undetected and his reluctance to provide the regular radio reports required by Dönitz. Alongside his military skill was a character that remained rooted in the traditions of the Prussian military.
