Sinopse

Boston by Upton Sinclair is a novelized account of the Sacco and Vanzetti affair, a significant event in the 1920s involving two Italian immigrants, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, who were accused of murder during a payroll robbery. The novel blends real events and characters with fictional elements. The narrative follows the trials of Sacco and Vanzetti, highlighting the biases and injustices of the legal system. The trials are depicted as a farce, with tainted evidence, dishonest witnesses, and a clear bias against the defendants due to their political beliefs and immigrant status. As the trials progress, the novel portrays the political and social tensions of the era, including the Red Scare, anti-immigrant sentiments, and the struggles of the labor movement.

    COVID-19 - A History

    For two years the COVID-19 pandemic has upended the world. The physician and medical historian Jacalyn Duffin presents a global history of the virus, with a focus on Canada.  
    Duffin describes the frightening appearance of the virus and its identification by scientists in China; subsequent outbreaks on cruise ships; the relentless spread to Europe, the Americas, Africa, and elsewhere; and the immediate attempts to confront it. COVID-19 next explores the scientific history of infections generally, and the discovery of coronaviruses in particular. Taking a broad approach, the book explains the advent of tests, treatments, and vaccines, as well as the practical politics behind interventions, including quarantines, barrier technologies, lockdowns, and social and financial supports. In concluding chapters Duffin analyzes the outcome of successive waves of COVID-19 infection around the world: the toll of human suffering, the successes and failures of control measures, vaccine rollouts, and grassroots opposition to governments’ attempts to limit the spread and mitigate social and economic damages.  
    Closing with the fraught search for the origins of COVID-19, Duffin considers the implications of an “infodemic” and provides an cautionary outlook for the future.

    Offers 40 concrete, practical tools and activities that will supercharge learners' ambition, organisation, persistence and determination. Where some education books focus on how individual teachers might sequence and deliver pieces of information in the clearest, most helpful and supportive way, engaging as many learners as possible, this one is different. This book looks at how you can help learners manage their workload and take control of their own knowledge and skills. It explores the characteristics, qualities and habits of successful students and shares forty replicable tools and tactics that all students can use immediately, both in and out of the classroom – activities that will help them to set goals, work more efficiently, organise their resources, revise more effectively and solve problems. This book is a perfect introduction to the VESPA approach, as well as being a practical addition to previous resources. The VESPA Handbook will help teachers develop the five key characteristics and behaviours that students need to be successful: vision, effort, systems, practice and attitude. When it comes to achieving academic success, these characteristics are crucial. Suitable for teachers, tutors and parents who want to boost academic outcomes in 14–18-year-olds and equip them with powerful tools and techniques in preparation for further education and employment.

    - Your father didn’t seem to care about your feelings 
    - Your father was very controlling and manipulative

    - You feel confused, anxious, sad in your relationship with your father 
    - Your father puts you down, and never celebrates your achievements 
    - You sometimes doubt your perception of events, and feel like you are going crazy 
    - You struggle to make decisions and have difficulty trusting your gut instinct or intuition 
    - Your father is very critical, manipulative, controlling and tells lies 
    - They still don’t seem to care about your feelings or your needs 
    - You feel like you are the one parenting them 
    This Book is for you if you have been in a toxic relationship with your parent and you just want to make sense of it and make some changes.

    I can’t promise you that reading to this book is going to be a “total cure”, but I can promise that if you APPLY YOURSELF DILLIGENTLY, take notes, read and re-read the chapters, follow all instructions to the letter, with a tenacious resolve to get better you will feel an instant decrease in anxiety within the first 24 hours and should see huge improvements within the first 3 days.
