  The Forgotten Slave Trade - The...

  Everybody knows about the transatlantic slave trade. A century before Britain became involved in this terrible business, whole villages and towns in England, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and other European countries were being depopulated by slavers, who transported the men, women, and children to Africa where they were sold. This is the forgotten slave trade; one which saw over a million Christians forced into captivity in the Muslim world. 
   
   
   
  Starting with the practice of slavery in the ancient world, Simon Webb traces the history of slavery in Europe, showing that the numbers involved were vast and that the victims were often treated far more cruelly than black slaves in America and the Caribbean. Castration, used very occasionally against black slaves taken across the Atlantic, was routinely carried out on an industrial scale on European boys who were exported to Africa and the Middle East. Most people are aware that the English city of Bristol was a major center for the transatlantic slave trade in the eighteenth century, but hardly anyone knows that 1,000 years earlier it had been an important staging-post for the transfer of English slaves to Africa. 
   
   
   
  This book will forever change how you view the slave trade and show that many commonly held beliefs about this controversial subject are almost wholly inaccurate and mistaken.

  Northern Indian Invaders -...

  Northern India has long been a battleground for powerful invaders who established vast empires, shaping the region’s culture, politics, and economy. Among these, the Kushan Empire, the Delhi Sultanate, and the Mughal Empire stood out for their foreign origins and lasting influence on Indian civilization.  
  The Kushans, originally from Central Asia, played a vital role in connecting India with the Silk Road, fostering trade and spreading Buddhism across the subcontinent.  
  The Delhi Sultanate, founded by Turkic and Afghan rulers, introduced Islamic governance, transforming India's political landscape through military conquests and administrative innovations.  
  Later, the Mughal Empire, with its Timurid roots, brought about a golden age of Indo-Islamic culture, marked by architectural marvels like the Taj Mahal, advancements in art, and economic prosperity.  
  These empires, though foreign in origin, became deeply intertwined with India's history, leaving behind a complex yet enduring legacy of conquest, governance, and cultural exchange.

  An indispensable guide to parents of hockey hopefuls
  		 
  At a time of great change in hockey, Justin Davis exposes the dark underbelly of the journey from the minors to the big leagues 
  		 
  Hockey culture: it’s a commonly used phrase inside the game, glorifying sacrifice, toughness, loyalty, and a sense of identity. Justin Davis viewed this culture as something he was lucky enough to experience. After all, he’d won a Memorial Cup after leading the tournament in scoring, and he’d been drafted by the Washington Capitals. “In my mind,” he says, “I was the normal one.” Unfortunately, after stepping outside the game, he began to recognize the racism, sexual abuse and bullying that was so deeply ingrained in the sport. And then, as his own children grew into teenagers, the curtain was pulled back, the memories came rushing forward, and he was horrified: “Why was I naked in a bus bathroom for four hours with seven teammates? What happened to my brain, and why can’t I remember the simplest things? How did I end up living in a basement where the strangers upstairs were clearly engaged in domestic abuse?”
  		 
  As it navigates the sport’s darkest corridors, Conflicted Scars shares the story of the common Canadian player and offers a guide for parents who need to know how and why a typical teenager with NHL dreams, from a small town, now lives anxiously, introvertedly, and battling emotional detachment.
