Synopsis

In "Jewish Immigration to the United States from 1881 to 1910," Samuel Joseph meticulously examines the waves of Jewish migration during a pivotal period marked by both hardship and opportunity. Employing a blend of historical narrative and sociological analysis, Joseph navigates the political, economic, and cultural contexts that compelled approximately two million Jews to flee persecution in Eastern Europe. His literary style is both accessible and rigorous, characterized by detailed case studies and primary source documents that enrich the reader's understanding of the immigrant experience. Joseph situates this mass migration within the broader spectrum of American immigration trends, revealing layers of complexity in the pursuit of religious freedom and economic security. Samuel Joseph, an esteemed historian specializing in Jewish American studies, draws upon his own family's immigrant saga to illuminate the broader realities faced by Jewish settlers. His academic background, combined with extensive field research, informs his exploration of identity, community formation, and the socio-political challenges that shaped Jewish life in America. Joseph's work is not only a scholarly pursuit but a personal one, making his insights all the more poignant. This book stands as an essential resource for anyone seeking to grasp the nuances of Jewish immigration and its lasting impact on American society.

Polly - The True Story Behind...

Roger Hutchinson

Early on a wartime winter's morning in 1941, the 8,000-ton cargo ship SS Politician ran aground in the beautiful but treacherous seas of Scotland's Outer Hebrides. Among its cargo were 260,000 bottles of whisky destined for the American market – a godsend to the local Eriskay islanders whose home-grown supply had dried up due to wartime rationing.
News quickly spread and boats came from as far as Lewis, and before local excise officer Charles McColl could intervene, more than 24,000 bottles had been 'rescued'. Villages were raided as bottles of whisky were hidden in the most ingenious ways – or simply drunk to get rid of the evidence. Meanwhile, official salvage operations foundered, and in order to pre-vent what the islanders themselves regarded as legitimate salvage, the hull of the Politician was dynamited.
The story is well known through Compton Mackenzie's bestselling book Whisky Galore and the famous 1949 Ealing comedy of the same name. In this book, acclaimed journalist and Hebridean expert Roger Hutchinson tells the true story of one of the most bizarre events ever to have happened in Scottish waters.

Beyond Death - Real Ghosts &...

Sripad Jaganantha Das

“When we die first we are taken to task by Yamaraj the Lord of death and taken to one of the twenty eight hellish planets to be punished before being put into a new body in the next life” Srimad Bhagavatam 
 
"Those who are attached to their family, house, village or country do not receive a gross body made of material elements but remain in a subtle body, composed of mind, ego, and intelligence. Those who live in such subtle bodies are called ghosts. This ghostly position is very painful because a ghost has intelligence, mind, and ego and wants to enjoy material life, but because he doesn’t have a gross material body, he can only create disturbances for want of material satisfaction." A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada 
 
Death - it comes to us all. it is a sacrifice for the good life we lead at the end of our long fortuitous road. Or is it? For millenniums the yogis of India following the ancient Vedic path have clearly spoken about what we call in the west- life after death. To the unenlightened materialist, life begins with birth and ends with the final inevitable dissolution of the gross material body. But to the enlightened ones ordinary life and death are seen as nothing extraordinary - and at most the unclouded end of the infinite beginning. It is true that some of the more virtuous and godly among us may escape the never-ending wheel of repeated birth and death however most are commanded to return to this material world by the process of reincarnation, or if they are exceptionally unlucky hover around this gross material sphere for untold eons as homeless, restless, disembodied, hopeless, spirits. It is of these unfortunate souls to whom we address this unique audiobook. Here for the first time is the secret yoga of the ghostly realms directly from the ancient Vedic sastras of spiritual India.

The Ethiopian Great Famine of...

Sarah Willards

The Ethiopian Great Famine of 2000 was not an isolated event, but rather the culmination of a complex and interconnected set of factors rooted in the country's historical, environmental, and political landscape. To understand the origins of this crisis, it is essential to look back at Ethiopia’s long history of food insecurity and vulnerability to famine. While droughts have long been a natural part of Ethiopia’s climate cycles, the frequency and impact of famine have often been magnified by human elements, particularly governance and socio-economic structures.
In the years leading up to 2000, Ethiopia experienced several severe droughts, but the early signs of the looming crisis were evident by the late 1990s. Climatic shifts, including the failure of critical rainy seasons, devastated crop yields and dried up grazing lands, particularly in the country's eastern and southern regions. For a population heavily dependent on subsistence agriculture, these environmental changes meant immediate food shortages and a rapid decline in household resilience. What might have remained a regional hardship quickly evolved into a nationwide emergency due to the lack of sufficient preventative action.
Government response in the early stages was slow and limited by bureaucratic challenges and political distractions, including the aftermath of the Ethiopia-Eritrea war that ended in 2000. Resources were stretched thin, and infrastructure remained underdeveloped, particularly in rural areas where the famine was most severe. Early warning systems existed but were either underutilized or their signals ignored, contributing to the delayed mobilization of aid. The country’s centralization of power also complicated coordination with local authorities, which further hindered rapid intervention efforts.
