Synopsis

In "Historical Record of the Eighty-seventh Regiment, or the Royal Irish Fusiliers," Richard Cannon meticulously chronicles the rich history and military exploits of one of Britain's distinguished regiments. This work, characterized by its authoritative tone and thorough research, provides an insightful examination of the regiment's formations, significant battles, and the extraordinary individuals who served within its ranks. Set within the broader context of British military history, Cannon's narrative not only documents the regiment's achievements but also reflects on the socio-political currents of the time, all while employing a narrative style that is both engaging and informative. Richard Cannon was a dedicated military historian whose extensive knowledge of regimental histories informed his writing. With a commitment to preserving the legacy of the British Army, Cannon's own experiences in the field and engagement with various military institutions likely influenced his desire to produce this historical record. His scholarly pursuits were aimed at both memorializing the valor of soldiers and providing future generations with a detailed understanding of their contributions to British history. This book is highly recommended for historians, military enthusiasts, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of regimental histories. Cannon's detailed account not only sheds light on the Eighty-seventh Regiment, but it also serves as a compelling narrative that honors the brave men of the Royal Irish Fusiliers and their enduring legacy.

    This book consists of three "what if...?" alternate history scenarios, from three different wars: 
    America’s Defeat - A Revolutionary War Won by the British: The American colonies in the mid-18th century were a thriving part of the British Empire, but tensions had been brewing for decades. What began as minor grievances over trade and governance escalated into a full-scale rebellion. British policies, aimed at tightening control over the colonies, ignited widespread dissatisfaction, planting the seeds of revolution. 
    The Second Coming of Napoleon - What If France Had Won at Waterloo?: The Battle of Waterloo, fought on June 18, 1815, is widely regarded as one of history’s most decisive conflicts. It marked the end of Napoleon Bonaparte’s reign and the beginning of a new European order. However, had the battle played out differently—had Napoleon emerged victorious—France and the world would have been set on an entirely new course. A French victory at Waterloo was not an impossibility. Napoleon, despite being outnumbered, was still a military genius who had orchestrated countless triumphs before. His strategy depended on dividing and defeating the Anglo-Allied and Prussian forces separately before they could fully unite. For much of the battle, the French had the upper hand, with their artillery hammering British lines and their cavalry sowing chaos among enemy ranks. 
    The Unbroken Reich - What If Germany Had Won World War I?: As World War I raged across Europe, 1917 emerged as the critical year that could have determined the war’s ultimate outcome. In our reality, the entry of the United States and the crumbling of the Eastern Front led to Germany’s eventual defeat. But what if events had unfolded differently? A few pivotal moments could have swung the war in Germany’s favor, altering the course of history entirely.

    If teachers want an inclusive, engaging classroom, they must learn their students' names. Sound advice, but rarely does it come with practical guidance—which is precisely what this book offers. Eschewing the random tips and mnemonic tricks that invariably fall short, Michelle D. Miller offers teachers a clear explanation of what is really going on when we learn a name, and a science-based approach for using this knowledge to pedagogical advantage. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on a background in the psychology of language and memory, Miller gives a lively overview of the surprising science of learning proper names, along with an account of why the practice is at once so difficult and yet so critical to effective teaching. She then sets out practical techniques for learning names. In her discussion of certain factors that can make learning names especially challenging, Miller pays particular attention to neurodivergence and the effects of aging on this form of memory. A Teacher's Guide to Learning Student Names lays out strategies for putting these techniques into practice, suggests technological aids and other useful resources, and explains how to make name learning a core aspect of one's teaching practice. 
     
     
     
    This concise guide provides teachers of all disciplines and levels an invaluable tool for creating a welcoming and productive learning environment.

    For over 60 million people, work in America has been a story of declining wages, insecurity, and unsafe conditions, especially amid the coronavirus epidemic. This new and troubling reality has galvanized media and policymakers, but all the while a different and little-known story of rebirth and struggle has percolated just below the surface. 
     
     
     
    On the Job is the first account of a new kind of labor movement, one that is happening locally, quietly, and among our country's most vulnerable—but essential—workers. Noted public health expert Celeste Monforton and award-winning journalist Jane M. Von Bergen crisscrossed the country, speaking with workers of all backgrounds and uncovering the stories of hundreds of new, worker-led organizations (often simply called worker centers) that have successfully achieved higher wages, safer working conditions, and on-the-job dignity for their members. 
     
     
     
    On the Job describes ordinary people finding their voice and challenging power: from housekeepers in Chicago and Houston; to poultry workers in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and Springdale, Arkansas; and construction workers across the state of Texas. An inspiring book for dark times, On the Job reveals that labor activism is actually alive and growing—and holds the key to a different future for all working people.

    Based on Philip Cowley's entertaining columns in The House magazine, this collection of political oddities and fascinating research, discussing the politics of fights, cockroaches, riots, potholes, beards and much more, is perfect for reading in multiple sittings. Discover the electoral relevance of chip shops and football grounds, what your lawn tells you about your voting, why politicians need to pay extra care in Scunthorpe, what MPs think of voters, why they all claim to be local and why they are all now so inexperienced.
    Equal parts witty and thought-provoking, and with additional grumpy complaints about bats, overly long constituency names and giving the vote to sixteen-year-olds, it's a book that will appeal to the sort of person who likes to tell you that, actually, it's all a bit more complicated than that…

    A narrative full of adrenaline rush intertwined with warm Moroccan hospitality. 
    L'Eid, Boujloud, and summer. 
    On how thick a human mask and understanding can be while not only beetles fall victims to the Feast of Sacrifice. 
    An amusingly reflective story about real incidents and humanity amidst intercultural holidays in the 'Land of Liquid Gold.' 
    Moroccan traditions, dialect, cuisine, and products through comparative lenses. 
    Suitable and enriching for all ages. Animal sacrifice discussion could feel too detailed for very young and sensitive listeners. 
    Practical for those considering their first-time-ever stay abroad or intercultural marriage or challenging phobias through exposure. Lovers of peculiarities and anthropology enthusiasts might broaden their collection. 
    To never judge by own background...
