Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

In "The History of Ireland," Thomas D'Arcy McGee meticulously chronicles the tumultuous past of Ireland from ancient times through the 19th century. McGee employs a vivid narrative style, blending historical fact with lyrical prose, making complex events accessible and engaging. This work emerges from a period marked by political upheaval and cultural revival, positioned within the broader context of nationalist movements across Europe, and reflects McGee's profound understanding of Ireland's socio-political fabric, enhancing its relevance in Irish historiography. Thomas D'Arcy McGee, an emigrant from Ireland to Canada, epitomizes the dual identity that inspired this work; a nationalist steeped in the struggles of his homeland, he sought to counteract prevailing British narratives. His experiences as a journalist and politician deeply informed his analysis, motivating him to advocate for Irish self-determination while celebrating its rich heritage. McGee's immersion in both the Canadian and Irish political landscapes provides a unique lens through which he addresses issues of identity, belonging, and governance. This book is essential for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of Irish identity and history. McGee's balanced approach and eloquent style render it a valuable resource for scholars and casual readers alike, encouraging a deeper appreciation of Ireland's multifaceted past.

Mental Models In A Nutshell -...

Thinknetic

What would you do if there was a tool to help you make better decisions in less time? You'd jump at the chance, wouldn't you?
Mental models help you filter information, which allows you to see things more clearly and make better decisions.
Mental models are also a shortcut to finding the quickest and the best route to solve your problems, whether work-related or personal.
The beauty of mental models is that their variety is virtually infinite, and they help you come up with solutions for just about any issue.
So you're thinking about opening a business. You're not sure what kind of business will be best. The law of Supply and Demand can help. It dictates that companies provide the goods and services demanded by the public. The most profitable companies are those that do this best.
Armed with this knowledge, you can now narrow down your options considerably.
"Developing the habit of mastering the multiple models that underlie reality is the best thing you could do," according to Charlie Munger, who credits his success to the lifetime cultivation of a "latticework" of mental models on which to frame his decisions.
The problem with the average person's mental models is that most are not designed to handle complexity.
And while the conscious use of mental models is possible, they require higher-order thinking skills that few people engage in for various reasons. But that doesn't have to be you!
Inside you'll find:How mental models declutter your thinking and stimulate decision-making (warning: immediate impact on 4 cognitive processes!)The Master List of mental models (including the best two used by Munger)3 characteristics that help you to spot an excellent mental modelWhy we don't use mental models and what we tend to do insteadHow to make your mental toolkit resemble a Swiss army knife in 5 steps

Wizards - David Duke America's...

Brian Fairbanks

The '91 Louisiana Governor's race was supposed to be forgettable. But when former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke shocked the nation by ousting incumbent Republican Governor Buddy Roemer in the primary, the world took notice. Democrat Edwin Edwards, a former three-term governor and two-time corruption defendant, was left alone to face Duke in the general election—and he was going to lose. 
 
 
 
Then a little-known state committeewoman stepped in with evidence of Duke's nefarious past. Could her evidence be enough to sway the minds of fired-up voters, or would Louisiana welcome a far-right radical into the highest office in the state? 
 
 
 
Journalist Brian Fairbanks explores how the final showdown between Duke and Edwards in November 1991 led to a major shift in our national politics, as well as the rise of the radical right and white supremacist groups, and how history repeated itself in the 2016 presidential election. The story of these political "wizards," almost forgotten by history, remains eerily prescient and disturbingly relevant.
