Sinossi

In "A Popular History of Ireland (Vol. 1 & 2)", Thomas D'Arcy McGee presents a comprehensive and accessible recounting of the Irish experience, spanning from ancient times to the 17th century. Employing a narrative style that melds vivid storytelling with scholarly rigor, McGee adeptly interweaves historical events with cultural insights, providing readers with a multifaceted view of Irish identity. His work reflects the Romantic literary movement's emphasis on nationalism and the valorization of the folk narrative, all while positioning Ireland's history within the broader context of European developments. Thomas D'Arcy McGee, an influential Irish nationalist politician and advocate of Irish unity, was profoundly shaped by the tumultuous socio-political landscape of his time. Born in 1825 in Ireland and later emigrating to Canada, McGee's experiences as an immigrant and his commitment to the Irish cause fueled his desire to document and commemorate the rich heritage of his homeland. His scholarship was driven not only by a need for preservation but also by a vision of aspiration for Ireland's future as a sovereign entity. This work is highly recommended for those seeking a deeper understanding of Ireland'Äôs past through a lens that celebrates its cultural richness and complexity. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find McGee's compelling narrative an essential resource that bridges the gap between scholarly history and popular understanding.

    Why were the sordid deeds of Jeffery Epstein concealed for two decades? Why was inquiry into the origin of covid suppressed? Why are social media sites censoring scientists, doctors, journalists, and scholars? 
    Through dozens of absorbing exposés, Red White & Blind reveals the corporate media's deliberate lies, tendentious censorship, and ironic use of the term "disinformation." This deceit has driven faith in corporate news to all-time lows, but it has also birthed an independent media revolution—a New Enlightenment—enabling Americans to see through the walls of "confirmation bias" and perceive the world more directly and accurately than ever before. 
    In this book, you will learn:How the Father of Propaganda convinced Americans to love bananas, World War I, and the color green.Why the notion of "objective, professional journalism" was invented in the early 1900s.How the CIA placed agents in the media and why they likely still do.How to understand family and friends with any set of political views.Why today's social media censorship violates the First Amendment.Why "fact-checking" websites almost always fail.The meaning of "gaslighting," "shadowbanning," and "narrative management."

    As the church and as a country, we've often neglected and avoided addressing the impact and ongoing reality of racism. We've been more focused on order than justice, more concerned with social media posturing than solidarity, more committed to judgment than repentance. But God's people are called to more. We need to lead the way to true racial healing, solidarity, and justice.  
     
    Through enlightening history and eye-opening personal stories, Living Undivided will equip and empower you with the biblical, transformative tools you need to move from just hoping and wishing for racial justice to actionable change that makes a difference in your life and the lives of churches, neighborhoods, and cities.

    Middle Ages - Medieval Events...

    This is a combo book about the middle ages, which comprises the following titles: 
    1 - Middle Ages: In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages or Middle Ages time period lasted around from the fifth to the late 15th centuries, likewise to the postclassical period of worldwide history. It started with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and transitioned into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. 
    2 - Black Death: Here we have it: We may be looking at the years 2020-2021 and think a certain virus has been bad for the world population. However, what happened in these two years is nothing, proportionally, to the hundreds of millions of people who got wiped out by rat infestations spreading insanitary bacteria, resulting in the disease and death of huge parts of the European population in the mid-centuries. 
    The genesis or origin of the Black Death is a point of contention. The epidemic started in Central Asia or East Asia, but it wasn't till 1347 that it made its conclusive presence in Crimea. It spread out through the Mediterranean Basin, reaching Africa, Western Asia, and the remainder of Europe through Constantinople, Sicily, and the Italian Peninsula, probably brought by fleas surviving on black rats carried by Genoese servant ships. 
    3 - Crusaders: The Crusades are one of those dark chapters in history that we would rather forget, especially religious people. In name of the church, or other religions, like the Muslim faith, people killed, destroyed, looted, and burned cities to the ground. There is nothing “holy” about attacking and plundering, yet this is what they did. 
    The Crusades were a series of spiritual fights in the Middle Ages period that were begun, supported, and sometimes ordered by the Latin Church.

    ""No one makes me laugh harder than Judy Gold. If I had to pick one comedian to write a book about free speech, it would be Judy."" – Amy Schumer 
    From award-winning comedian Judy Gold, an equal parts thoughtful and hilarious polemic on the current efforts to censor comedians, arguing that they undermine the art—and purpose—of comedy itself. 
    “You can say anything that comes to mind as long as it is funny.” — Richard Pryor 
    The fallout after Michelle Wolf’s roast at the 2018 White House Correspondent’s Dinner, Samantha Bee’s forced apology after calling Ivanka Trump a “feckless c*nt,” Kathy Griffin’s being “blacklisted” from Hollywood after posting a photo with what looked like the president’s severed head, all represent a dangerous and growing trend—to censor comedians. 
    In Yes I Can Say That, comedy veteran Judy Gold argues that ""no one has the right to tell comics what they can or cannot joke about…. Laughter is a unifier. It's the best medicine. It's also the most palatable way to bring up seditious, subversive topics.” For Gold, nothing is more insidious than enforcing silence and repressing jokes—the job of a comedian is to expose society's demons, and confront them head-on, no prisoners allowed. In ten impassioned polemics, she frames comedy as a tool of empowerment, a way to reclaim hateful rhetoric and battle the democracy-crushing plight of censorship. 
    Uninhibited and bold, Gold is as skilled at making readers laugh as she is at exposing uncomfortable truths about our culture and society. In this era of partisan politics and gaping inequalities, Yes I Can Say That is the refreshingly candid, wickedly funny and deliciously blunt manifesto we need.
