Summary

In the heart of the American West, a tale of two warriors unfolds, their lives intertwined by destiny. Crazy Horse, the fearless leader of the Oglala Sioux, and George Armstrong Custer, the audacious general of the United States Army, were men of courage, ambition, and unwavering determination.

This book delves into the rich history of the Great Plains, exploring the culture, traditions, and struggles of the Oglala Sioux as they faced the encroaching forces of white settlers. Crazy Horse emerges as a symbol of resistance, his vision for unity and freedom propelling him to the forefront of a fight for the survival of his people.

On the other side of the conflict, George Armstrong Custer, a rising star in the United States Army, seeks glory and advancement on the frontier. His belief in the superiority of his troops and his unwavering determination to subdue the Native American tribes set him on a collision course with Crazy Horse and the Oglala Sioux.

The Battle of Little Bighorn, fought on June 25, 1876, stands as a pivotal moment in American history. This book takes readers into the heart of the battle, recounting the valor, sacrifice, and tragedy experienced by both sides. Through detailed accounts and vivid descriptions, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the strategies, motivations, and consequences of this fateful clash.

Beyond the battle, this book explores the enduring legacies of Crazy Horse and George Armstrong Custer. Their stories shed light on the complexities of the American West, the clash of cultures, and the ongoing struggle for justice and equality. Their names forever etched in history, Crazy Horse and Custer remain symbols of courage, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the human will.

This book is a testament to the power of history to teach, inspire, and challenge. Through the lives of Crazy Horse and George Armstrong Custer, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for the complexities of the American West and the enduring legacy of the Battle of Little Bighorn.

    In The Entanglement, philosopher Alva Noë explores the inseparability of life, art, and philosophy, arguing that we have greatly underestimated what this entangled reality means for understanding human nature. 
     
     
     
    Life supplies art with its raw materials, but art, Noë argues, remakes life by giving us resources to live differently. Our lives are permeated with the aesthetic. Indeed, human nature is an aesthetic phenomenon, and art is the truest way of understanding ourselves. All this suggests that human nature is not a natural phenomenon. Neither biology, cognitive science, nor AI can tell a complete story of us, and we can no more pin ourselves down than we can fix or settle on the meaning of an artwork. Even more, art and philosophy are the means to set ourselves free, at least to some degree, from convention, habit, technology, culture, and even biology. In making these provocative claims, Noë explores examples of entanglement and examines a range of scientific efforts to explain the human. 
     
     
     
    Challenging the notions that art is a mere cultural curiosity and that philosophy has been outmoded by science, The Entanglement offers a new way of thinking about human nature, the limits of natural science in understanding the human, and the essential role of art and philosophy in trying to know ourselves.

    "A fun introduction to English history for those who may find conventional history books dry and tedious... it offers an accessible and enjoyable alternative to more traditional texts." 
    "a delightful blend of history, humor, and art. It provides readers with an entertaining way to learn about England’s past while enjoying the wit and creativity of A. Beckett. Whether you are a history buff or someone looking for a lighthearted approach to learning, this book offers something for everyone." 
    In the third drily hilarious volume of A Comic History Of England, we move forward to the thirteenth century, when a succession of Edwards and Henrys gain the throne and immediately use it to steal everything they can from the population, in order to fund attempts to conquer France (or pay their debts from conquering England). Along the way we get the fabled Black Prince, one of the greatest battles in English history, a queen far more powerful than her king or sons, and a consideration of the manners and condition of the English period up to this point in the history.
