Sinopse

In "At Gettysburg - What a Girl Saw and Heard of the Battle," Tillie Pierce Alleman presents a vivid, first-person account of the Battle of Gettysburg through the eyes of a young girl. Her narrative combines the immediacy of a memoir with the fervent patriotic spirit of her time, offering readers a rare perspective on a pivotal moment in American history. Written with poignant detail, Alleman's prose captures not only the chaos of battle but also the resilience of the human spirit amidst despair. The book is situated in the broader context of Civil War literature, which often overlooks the voices of women and children, making it a unique contribution to this genre. Tillie Pierce Alleman, born in 1843 in Pennsylvania, witnessed the Battle of Gettysburg at the tender age of 15. Her experiences during this time were influenced by her strong family ties and the tumultuous events surrounding her. After the war, she felt compelled to document her memories, not just to preserve her personal history but to contribute to the collective memory of a nation grappling with the ramifications of civil strife. Her insights provide an invaluable lens through which to understand the emotional landscape of the era. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in Civil War history, women's narratives, and the cultural implications of war. Alleman's youthful perspective adds a layer of innocence and poignancy that enriches the historical account, making it an essential read for both scholars and casual readers alike. Engage with her story and reflect on the profound impact of history on personal lives.

    This illuminating account of Britain as a Roman province sets the Roman conquest and occupation of the island within the larger context of Romano-British society and how it functioned.

He then tackles the issues facing Britons after the absorption of their culture by an invading army, including the role of government and the military in the province, religion, commerce, technology, and daily life. For this revised edition, the text and bibliography have been updated to reflect the latest discoveries and research in recent years.

    The year 2020 was a tumultuous time in American politics. It brought a global pandemic, protests for racial justice, and a razor-thin presidential election outcome. It culminated in an attack on the US Capitol that attempted to deny Joe Biden's victory. The Bitter End explores the long-term trends and short-term shocks that shaped this dramatic year and what these changes could mean for the future. 
     
     
     
    John Sides, Chris Tausanovitch, and Lynn Vavreck demonstrate that Trump's presidency intensified the partisan politics of the previous decades. Presidential elections have become calcified, with less chance of big swings in either party's favor. Republicans remained loyal to Trump and kept the election close, despite Trump's many scandals, a recession, and the pandemic. But in a narrowly divided electorate even small changes can have big consequences. The pandemic was a case in point: when Trump pushed to reopen the country even as infections mounted, support for Biden increased. The authors explain that, paradoxically, even as Biden's win came at a time of heightened party loyalty, there remained room for shifts that shaped the election's outcome. Ultimately, the events of 2020 showed that instead of the country coming together to face national challenges—the pandemic, George Floyd's murder, and the Capitol riot—these challenges only reinforced divisions.

    This is a combo book with three different topics, all related to the beliefs, history, and culture of Mexico. The topics are the following: 
    1: Emiliano Zapata Salazar was a revolutionary in Mexico. He was a key figure in the Mexican Revolt of the years 1910 until 1920, and also the primary leader of the people's revolution in the Mexican state of Morelos and the creator of the Zapatismo agrarian movement. 
    2: Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec divine being whose name originates from the Nahuatl language and meaning "valuable snake" or "Quetzal-feathered Snake." "Quetzalcoatl, in its actual sense, means 'snake of valuable plumes,' but in the allegorical sense, 'best of men,'" said Ixtlilxóchitl, a descendant of Aztec royalty and history expert of the Nahua people, in the 17th century. 
    3: The cult image, female divine being, and folk saint Nuestra Seora de la Santa Muerte (Spanish meaning: Our Woman of the Holy Death) is a cult image, female divine being, and folk saint in Mexican Neopaganism and folk Catholicism. Her worshippers relate her with healing, security, and safe delivery to the afterlife simply because she's a personification of death. In spite of condemnation from Catholic Church leaders and, more just recently, evangelical movements, her following has grown substantially since the start of the twenty-first century.
