  The rise of the Kamakura Shogunate marks a pivotal moment in Japanese history, transitioning from the aristocratic Heian period to the feudal system dominated by the samurai. This era began with the victory of Minamoto no Yoritomo, who, after the Genpei War (1180-1185), established a new form of governance centered in Kamakura, a small coastal town far from the imperial capital of Kyoto. 
  The Genpei War was a civil conflict between the Taira and Minamoto clans, which ultimately ended with the defeat of the Taira in the Battle of Dan-no-ura in 1185. Minamoto no Yoritomo, the leader of the Minamoto clan, emerged as the victor, but his triumph was not simply a personal or clan-based success. Yoritomo's victory laid the foundation for a shift in the political landscape of Japan. The Taira had represented the old courtly aristocracy that governed Japan through the imperial system, but the rise of the Minamoto signaled the beginning of samurai dominance and a move toward military rule. 
  In 1192, Yoritomo was granted the title of shogun by the emperor, an act that formalized his military authority. This title, meaning "generalissimo" or "commander of the army," was traditionally given to military leaders in times of war but had never been used as the primary governing title before. This marked the official beginning of the Kamakura Shogunate, a military dictatorship that would rule Japan for over a century. Though the emperor remained the nominal ruler, Yoritomo’s power was based in Kamakura, far from the imperial court, which shifted the balance of power from the capital to the military elite.

  This collection explores how seafarers, steppe warriors, and rising dynasties carved out vast territories and left lasting legacies across continents. 
  Begin with The Viking Age, a period of daring maritime expeditions, raids, and settlements that extended from Scandinavia to the British Isles, France, and even North America. The Vikings were not only fierce warriors but also skilled navigators and traders, spreading influence from Iceland to Byzantium. 
  Next, follow The Rise of the Ottoman Empire, which emerged in the late medieval period as a powerful force that bridged Europe and Asia. From humble beginnings in Anatolia, the Ottomans grew into an imperial power that would eventually reshape the political and religious map of the region. 
  Conclude with The Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous land empire in history. Led by Genghis Khan and his successors, the Mongols connected East and West through military conquest and an unparalleled trade network that facilitated the movement of goods, technologies, and ideas across Eurasia. 
  Together, these three explorations of expansion demonstrate the far-reaching ambitions and transformative power of medieval societies that shaped the world far beyond their borders.

  Immigrants are people who have moved to new countries in order to settle as permanent residents or naturalized citizens. This valuable resource is primarily for them; especially those having doubts about their potentials and entrepreneurial skills, and applying the advantages in their new locations. 
  Give a man (or a woman) a fish and you feed him for a day;  
  Teach a man (or a woman) to fish and you feed him for a lifetime;  
  What about the man or woman owning a pond or two containing fishes? 
  This book provides exclusive insights into Migrapreneurs (migrants + entrepreneurship), the who, what, why, and how. It will inform, inspire, and challenge readers to courageously exploit the advantages of their diversity in the context of entrepreneurship and business. They can take charge of their destinies by creating robust options while depending less on the already challenged economic and social welfare systems in the new countries. 
  Before you start reading, please prepare your mind for a journey that requires discipline and focus. What this book offers you is a path most immigrants don’t take due to can’t-do mindset, scarcity mentality, fear of the unknown, and lack of appropriate support. Reading this book, and taking prescribed actions, will assuredly provide you with a trigger for getting on the path to greatness.

  Manifesting Justice - Wrongly...

  When Valena Beety first became a federal prosecutor, her goal was to protect victims, especially women, from cycles of violence. What she discovered was that not only did prosecutions often fail to help victims, they frequently relied on false information, forensic fraud, and police and prosecutor misconduct. 
   
   
    
  Seeking change, Beety began working in the Innocence Movement, helping to free factually innocent people through DNA testing and criminal justice reform. Manifesting Justice focuses on the shocking story of Beety's client Leigh Stubbs—a young, queer woman in Mississippi, convicted of a horrific crime she did not commit because of her sexual orientation. Beety weaves Stubbs's harrowing narrative through the broader story of a broken criminal justice system. 
   
   
    
  Drawing on interviews with both innocence advocates and wrongfully convicted women, along with Beety's own experiences as an expert litigator and a queer woman, Manifesting Justice provides a unique outsider/insider perspective. Beety expands our notion of justice to include not just people who are factually innocent, but those who are over-charged, pressured into bad plea deals, and over-sentenced. The result is a riveting and timely book that will transform our very ideas of crime and punishment, what innocence is, and who should be free.
