  Though it went largely unremarked in the Islamic world at the time, the First Crusade has since become a contentious symbol of European imperialism in the Middle East. Debate over whether the Crusades can truly be perceived as an early example of European colonialism continues in medieval historiography, though the evidence for this is thin. The territory taken by the Franks from the Turks had previously belonged to Eastern Christians and had only recently been seized by the Turks themselves. The Crusader States were relatively small and weak, and they were reconquered centuries before modern European colonialism began. The Crusaders themselves saw it as a holy war of reclamation of previously lost (albeit almost-mythical) territory. To them, the Muslims were the first aggressors, and they were somewhat bolstered in this view by the support that they largely held from local Christians.   
  	The Crusader States were relatively small and weak, and while they tried to be a bulwark of Christianity in the Holy Land, the Crusader States were reconquered centuries before modern European colonialism began. Nonetheless, the Crusades and the Crusader States galvanized the Christians of Western Europe to expand their world. While it remains unclear how much that world expanded in practical terms such as trade, or how it affected later attitudes during the expansion to the New World and other regions, it definitely engaged the European mind in both positive and negative ways. As such, the crusades soon achieved near-mythic status in the European literature and remain among the most important events of the Middle Ages.  
  At the same time, the Crusader States were not one homogenized region but actually several distinct territories that had their own unique histories and interests. In fact, many of them were founded a century apart.

  National Ballot Measures 2024 -...

  National Ballot Measures 2024 - Living Democracy is my gift to the country that I love dearly and have always wanted to see it survive, thrive and improve. 
  Whenever I am forced to listen to a speech made by any of our Congressmen or women, I will often count the number of times they will refer to America as a 'Democracy'. They use that word an average of 15 to 20 times per speech. 
  They'll say things like - "Democracy is not pretty." Or they'll say, "Democracy is messy and people don't want to see how the sausage is made." Or they will say that people are trying to "end the 'American experiment in Democracy."  
  Or they'll quote one of the greatest of the founding fathers - Benjamin Franklin who was asked as the signers of of the Constitution were leaving: "Mr. Franklin, what kind of government have you given us?" 
  And Franklin replied: "A Republic, Madam, if you can keep it." 
  And so, we can take from this very portentous comment from Ben Franklin that the founding fathers were well aware that there would be forces someday who would try to take even this very modest amount of democracy - a Representative form of Democracy away from us.   
  It would take almost 250 years for this prediction to come true, but here we are under the threat of a dictatorship that could be forced upon us any minute will certainly spell the end of the American Experiment in Democracy, or it will cause a huge upheaval, perhaps even another Civil War, as many are predicting. 
  Not if we make a MAJOR IMPROVEMENT in our form of Government. . 
  Every election more than half of our registered voters sit it out and the reason is that every election we find ourselves voting for the same old same old. With the modern technology we have gained, there is no reason why we cannot vote on National Ballot Measures instead of two men in suits.

  Why does modern life feel mentally exhausting even when we are doing “everything right”? 
  Why are so many people overwhelmed, emotionally dysregulated, constantly distracted, burned out, anxious, and unable to focus; even those who have never been diagnosed with ADHD? 
  And what if ADHD is not merely an individual condition… 
  …but a warning sign about the world we are living in? 
  In ADHD Nation, this emotionally powerful and psychologically groundbreaking book explores how modern society has created a dopamine-driven culture that profits from distraction, overstimulation, emotional reactivity, and fractured attention. 
  Blending neuroscience, psychology, trauma research, cultural analysis, and deeply human storytelling, this book challenges everything we think we know about attention, productivity, emotional regulation, technology, and mental health. 
  Inside, you will discover: 
  • Why modern technology is rewiring the human nervous system 
  • The hidden connection between ADHD, trauma, dopamine, and emotional exhaustion 
  • How social media, productivity culture, and constant stimulation are fragmenting attention 
  • Why so many people secretly feel emotionally numb, burned out, or disconnected from themselves 
  • The psychological cost of living in an always-on digital world 
  • How shame, masking, and self-worth struggles silently shape ADHD experiences 
  • Why boredom, stillness, and deep focus are disappearing from modern life 
  • How to reclaim emotional balance, attention, and psychological sovereignty in the AI era 
  Drawing insights from leading experts including Russell Barkley, Gabor Maté, Anna Lembke, Johann Hari, Cal Newport, Bessel van der Kolk, and others, ADHD Nation is both a cultural wake-up call and a compassionate guide for navigating the overstimulated modern world. 
  This is not a book that blames people for struggling. 
  It is a book that finally explains why so many people feel psychologically overwhelmed in a civilisation engineered to capture human attention.

  Gardening Can Be Murder - How...

  This fun, engrossing book takes a look at the surprising influence that gardens and gardening have had on mystery novels and their authors. With their deadly plants, razor-sharp shears, shady corners, and ready-made burial sites, gardens make an ideal scene for the perfect murder. But the outsize influence that gardens and gardening have had on the mystery genre has been underappreciated. Now, Marta McDowell, a writer and gardener with a near-encyclopedic knowledge of the genre, illuminates the many ways in which our greatest mystery writers, from Edgar Allen Poe to authors on today’s bestseller lists, have found inspiration in the sinister side of gardens. From the cozy to the hardboiled, the literary to the pulp, and the classic to the contemporary, Gardening Can Be Murder is the first book to explore the mystery genre’s many surprising horticultural connections. Meet plant-obsessed detectives and spooky groundskeeper suspects, witness toxic teas served in foul play, and tour the gardens—both real and imagined—that have been the settings for fiction’s ghastliest misdeeds. A New York Times bestselling author herself, McDowell also introduces us to some of today’s top writers who consider gardening integral to their craft, assuring that horticultural themes will remain a staple of the genre for countless twisting plots to come.    “This book is dangerous. A veritable cornucopia of crime fiction and gardening lore, it faces the reader with multiple temptations—books to seek out, plants to obtain, garden tours to book.” —Vicki Lane, author of the Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries
