Beschreibung

Thick with owls and badgers, oak trees and wood piles, scarecrows and ghosts, and Tom Cox's loud and excitable dad, this book is full of the folklore of several counties the ancient kind and the everyday variety as well as wild places, mystical spots and curious objects. Emerging from this focus on the detail are themes that are broader and bigger and more important than ever.
Tom's writing treads a new path, one that has a lot in common with a rambling country walk; it's bewitched by fresh air and big skies, intrepid in minor ways, haunted by weather and old stories and the spooky edges of the outdoors, restless and prone to a few detours, but it always reaches its destination in the end.

    Welcome to a fresh, captivating way to learn a new language! The "A Hundred Reasons Why..." series helps you master Spanish through topics that interest you, such as art, science, and history. Each book offers 100 carefully selected reasons that serve as concise knowledge nuggets in both English and Spanish.
     
    
     
    How It Works:
     
      - Each reason is first presented in Spanish for you to interpret.

    - This format is repetitive to aid memorization and concise, ensuring streamlined learning.

    The Prince

    Niccolò Machiavelli

    The Prince (Italian: Il Principe [il ˈprintʃipe]; Latin: De Principatibus) is a 16th-century political treatise written by the Italian diplomat, philosopher, and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli in the form of a realistic instruction guide for new princes. As a remarkable general theme, The Prince appears to take it for granted that immoral acts are justified if they can help achieve political glory. 
    From Machiavelli's correspondence, a version was apparently being written in 1513, using a Latin title, De Principatibus (Of Principalities). However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. This was carried out with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII, but "long before then, in fact since the first appearance of The Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings". 
    Although The Prince was written as if it were a traditional work in the mirrors for princes style, it was generally agreed as being especially innovative. This is partly because it was written in the vernacular Italian rather than Latin, a practice that had become increasingly popular since the publication of Dante's Divine Comedy and other works of Renaissance literature.  Machiavelli illustrates his reasoning using remarkable comparisons of classical, biblical, and medieval events, including many seemingly positive references to the murderous career of Cesare Borgia, which occurred during Machiavelli's own diplomatic career.

    Soar into the untold story of the heroes who defied gravity and racism. 
    In Wings of Justice, bestselling author Davis Truman delivers a gripping, emotionally charged tribute to the legendary Tuskegee Airmen, America’s first Black military pilots, who not only fought against the Axis powers during World War II but also challenged the deep-rooted injustice of segregation at home. 
    With vivid storytelling and powerful historical insight, this book follows the Airmen from the segregated airfields of Tuskegee, Alabama, to the skies over war-torn Europe. As they battled enemies abroad and prejudice within the ranks, these brave men rewrote the narrative of American heroism. 
    More than a story of war, this is a story of triumph, of courage, resilience, and the fight for equality. Wings of Justice will leave you inspired, enraged, and ultimately hopeful. It’s a must-read for anyone who believes in the power of history to shape a more just future. 
    History remembered. Justice reclaimed. Heroes are never forgotten.
