  The Magic and Mayhem of Donald...

  In today’s deeply divisive political environment, the constant media storm pits Democrats against Republicans and liberals against conservatives, and drives narratives that describe Donald Trump as the worst president in American history who should be incarcerated forever for high crimes against society. But another segment of America believes Trump is the savior of the nation and worthy of sainthood. 
  What is the truth? Is there an acceptable reality somewhere within these two extremes? Can we know what actually guides Trump’s larger than life political persona? What really makes him tick? Is he worthy of the support of an American people desperately seeking the best for a nation in turmoil? 
  The Magic and Mayhem of Donald Trump lays out with uncommon clarity the reality of the Trump enigma. Known for his supreme self-confidence, inexhaustible ambition, braggadocio, arrogance, vanity, and knack for thriving amid conflict, Trump, who fights opponents with a fierce intensity that is often cruel and harsh, also possesses a firm but realistic sense of right and wrong influenced by a simple faith and bears a serious connection to everyday common people that springs from his past. 
  You will confidently discover, amidst the magic and the mayhem, the real man behind the myth. And in the process, you just might acquire a renewed or even novel appreciation for this American original.

  Do you remember Beatlemania? Radio Caroline? Mods and Rockers? The very first miniskirts? Then the chances are you were born in the or around 1960.  
  To the young people of today, the 1960s seems like another age. But for those who grew up in this decade, school life, 'mod' fashions and sixties pop music are still fresh in their minds. From James Bond to Sindy dolls and playing hopscotch in the street, life was very different to how it is now. After the tough and frugal years of the fifties, the sixties was a boom period, a time of changed attitudes and improved lifestyles. With chapters on home and school life, games and hobbies, music and fashion, this delightful compendium of memories will appeal to all who grew up in this lively era.  
  Take a nostalgic look at what it was like to grow up during the sixties and recapture all aspects of life back then.

  The Wars of the Roses

  About empty thrones, a lot can be said. Throughout history, both ancient and near modern, a lack of an heir and the sudden death of a beloved monarch always meant trouble. When the position of a king is up for grabs, a lot of eager hands come forward. Pretenders and would-be heirs, cousins and nephews, bastard sons and daughters - they all came forward staking their claim to the throne. In the history of Medieval England, such episodes were many. Usurpers who oust kings and heirs, pretenders with long-forgotten dynastic claims: many once fought for the lucrative throne of the English Kingdom. However, by far the most important of all these historic episodes lasted from 1455 to 1487 - 32 long years of struggle and bloodshed in England. And that episode was known as the Wars of the Roses. These wars ravaged England, pitting two competing cadet families of the royal House of Plantagenet - York, and Lancaster. Their supporters, the Lancastrians and Yorkists, descended into bitter warfare over the throne. For their symbols they took red and white roses, respectively - thus giving the name to the conflict.

  Euclid: The Life and Legacy of...

  Of the many mathematical advances made by the Greeks, none rival those established by Euclid of Alexandria, who likely remains the most famous ancient mathematician despite the fact little is actually known about his life. He revolutionized geometry, mathematics, and astronomy in Alexandria, Egypt, around 300 BCE, yet left almost no clues about his life story. Historians know he was a trailblazing mathematician and dabbled in astronomy because he wrote many books on these topics, and a 13-book treatise of his has survived, along with four other books. Thus, it’s clear what Euclid learned and knew, but virtually nothing is known about how his life unfolded or what he was like as a person.  
  	To this day for many students, geometry class was the first time discovering that mathematics is more than calculating numbers. Some may have expected to study shapes, sizes, positions, and the properties of space, but perhaps for the first time, a geometry class required proving why the calculations were true through rigorous, logical arguments using definitions, postulates, and theorems. For countless students, it is excruciating, while others find it fascinating. Either way, the person to thank (or blame) for that is Euclid.  
  	Often called the “Father of Geometry,” Euclid’s influence is so pervasive that his book, The Elements, was the primary math manual for over 2,000 years. It was not a “textbook” in the modern sense, as it did not have problem sets, word problems, or diagrams for practice, but it was a foundational reference and logical guide that students had to read, memorize, and demonstrate. In both the Western and Islamic worlds, Euclid’s Elements was the standard geometry text for almost every educated person until the 19th century.
