Sinopse

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.

    The Sports Palace speech was the climax of a campaign for 'total war'; the prime example of Nazi 'mass suggestion', a barrage of propaganda, seduction, and manipulation. 
     
    On the 18th of February 1943 Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels made a speech in the Berlin Sports Palace that is regarded as one of the most chilling, and at the same time most effective, rhetorical performances of the twentieth century. 
     
    In this definitive English translation, renowned historian Peter Longerich delves into the historical buildup to Goebbels's most notorious speech, the speech itself, and its lasting effect. Goebbels and 'Total War' singles out the Sports Palace speech to demystify the legend of Nazi propaganda by exposing the reality of the rally as a highly staged and prerecorded event, with a preselected audience and rehearsed reactions made to look spontaneous. For Goebbels, this spectacle was not only his chance to raise support for 'total war' in the German public but also the ultimate test to prove himself to his 'Führer'. Longerich traces Goebbels's path to 'total war' from his questionable demagogue skills and his tenuous relationship with Hitler, to the nation's losing battle at the front, and finally to total defeat.

    Permian Period The: The History...

    Among the most interesting of the prehistoric eras is the Permian age, the most extreme period in the planet’s history. It spanned 47 million years, beginning with an ice age, warming, and ending with the most cataclysmic volcanic episode in the planet’s history. The great bulk of all life on the Earth was almost immediately snuffed out, barely crawling back over the following 10 to 30 million years, and it set the stage for the “Age of Dinosaurs.” 
    	What is termed by some as the “Pennsylvanian” or “Carboniferous” period prepared the emergence of the Permian age. Named for the abundance of rocks from the period found in the state of Pennsylvania, many prefer the term “Silesian” or “Carboniferous” era. In the preceding “Mississippian era,” warm, shallow seas disappeared causing serious upheaval to marine life in a tendency toward glaciation.  
    	“Significant glaciation” marks the beginning of the Carboniferous immediately preceding the Permian. Carboniferous glaciation began in the late Ordovician Period long before. The eventual Andean-Saharan glaciation, a minor ice age, occurred later in the Silurian Age. These were all remnants of the “Snowball Earth” period of the Cryogenian. 
    	The resultant sea level drop as the Carboniferous ice age set in produced conditions much like that of today, with ice on both poles, wet tropics near the equator and temperate regions in between. Despite similar conditions, the Carboniferous lacked the output of greenhouse gases produced by humans. 
    	Fragments of plates collided as continents were still fusing into the supercontinent Pangea. During glaciation, “latitudinal climactic belts were widespread.” Permian rocks have been found on all the continents and some have been displaced “considerable distances from their original latitudes” in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras that followed the Permian.
