The Planters of Colonial Virginia - History of the Colonial Virginia Series

Thomas J. Wertenbaker

Sinopse

In "The Planters of Colonial Virginia," Thomas J. Wertenbaker offers an intricate examination of the economic, social, and cultural fabric of Virginia's early colonial life through the lens of its planters. Wertenbaker delves into a meticulously researched narrative that intertwines biographical sketches and case studies, presenting a vivid tableau of the motivations, ambitions, and struggles experienced by these early settlers. The literary style is both scholarly and engaging, employing rich descriptions that bring the historical context of Virginia during the 17th and 18th centuries to life, while also situating the planters within the broader scope of American colonial history and global trade networks. Wertenbaker, himself a product of early American studies, draws from an extensive background in history and literature, which enables him to contextualize the planters in relation to their societal roles and the burgeoning American identity. His passionate research into the socio-political factors that influenced colonial life is evident in this work, reflecting his dedication to uncovering the complexities of America's formative years. This book is essential for anyone seeking a nuanced understanding of colonial America, particularly those interested in the interplay of economics and society. Wertenbaker's analysis not only enhances our comprehension of Virginia's development but also invites readers to appreciate the broader themes of ambition and resilience that define the American spirit.

God's Monsters - Vengeful...

Esther Hamori

The Bible is teeming with monsters. Giants tromp through the land of milk and honey; Leviathan swims through the wine-dark sea. A stunning array of peculiar creatures, mind-altering spirits, and supernatural hitmen fill the biblical heavens. 
 
 
 
Traditional interpretations of the creatures of the Bible have sanded down their sharp, unsavory edges, transforming them into celestial beings of glory and light—or chubby, happy cherubs. Those cherubs? They're actually hybrid guardian monsters, more closely associated with the Egyptian sphinx than with flying babies. And the seraphim? Winged serpents sent to mete out God's vengeance. Demons aren't at war with angels; they're a distinct supernatural species used by Satan and by God. The pattern is chilling. Most of these monsters aren't God's opponents—they're God's entourage. 
 
 
 
Killer angels, plague demons, manipulative spirits, creatures with an alarming number of wings (and eyes all over)—these shapeshifters and realm-crossers act with stunning brutality, each reflecting a facet of God's own monstrosity. Confronting God's monsters—and the God-monster—may be uncomfortable, but the Bible is richer for their presence. For anyone interested in monsters, myths, folklore, demons, and more, God's Monsters is an entertaining deep dive into the creaturely strangeness of the Bible.

Memory and Hindsight Distortions...

William Rands

This book contains these topics: 
- The Hindsight Bias: Hindsight bias, often referred to as the "knew-it-all-along" effect, is the cognitive phenomenon in which people perceive past events as having been more predictable than they actually were. After an event has occurred, individuals tend to believe they foresaw the outcome, even though there was no reasonable way to predict it at the time. This bias can distort our memories, judgments, and perceptions, leading us to think that we knew the outcome of a situation from the very beginning, even though the reality is quite different. 
- The Mere Exposure Effect: The Mere Exposure Effect is a psychological phenomenon where repeated exposure to a stimulus leads to an increased preference for that stimulus. This effect occurs without any active engagement or deep processing from the individual. Simply put, the more we encounter something, the more likely we are to develop a liking for it, even if we don’t consciously realize why. This effect can apply to a wide range of stimuli, from people and objects to sounds, images, and even ideas. The central principle behind this concept is that familiarity breeds fondness.
