Beschreibung

"Smuggling & Smugglers in Sussex" offers a compelling exploration of the complex world of smuggling in 18th and 19th century Sussex. The anthology weaves together essays and historical accounts from various authors, reflecting a variety of literary styles'Äîfrom meticulous historiography to evocative narrative prose. It situates smuggling within the broader socio-economic and political context of post-Enlightenment Britain, revealing the contradictions between law and local customs. Richly detailed, the book transports readers to a time when coastal towns thrummed with clandestine trade, drawing attention to the lives and motivations of those involved in this precarious world. The collection reflects the diverse backgrounds of its contributors, including historians and literary scholars, whose interests span anthropology, economics, and maritime history. Their scholarly rigor is bolstered by a shared passion for illuminating the hidden corners of Sussex'Äôs past. This interdisciplinary approach leads to nuanced interpretations of smuggling as a historical phenomenon shaped by class, geography, and governmental policy, echoing contemporary debates about legality and morality. Readers with an interest in maritime history, British social culture, and the intricate dance between legality and illicit trade will find this anthology invaluable. "Smuggling & Smugglers in Sussex" not only informs but also provokes thought on the enduring legacy of smuggling and its implications within broader narratives of resistance and identity.

    7 Signs You May Be...

    Unintentional manipulation is a behavior that often goes unnoticed, even by the person exhibiting it. Many people associate manipulation with malicious intent, but the reality is that it can stem from deep-seated insecurities, learned behaviors, or a lack of self-awareness. When manipulation is unintentional, it can be especially difficult to recognize because the person engaging in it often believes they are acting out of necessity, self-protection, or even love. However, these behaviors can have lasting negative effects on relationships, creating tension, mistrust, and emotional exhaustion for both parties involved.  
      
    Understanding manipulation requires a willingness to look inward and examine patterns of communication and interaction. Some people use guilt, passive-aggression, or victimhood as a means of influencing others without realizing that these tactics can be harmful. Others may withdraw affection or communication to maintain control in situations where they feel vulnerable. In some cases, even excessive people-pleasing can be a form of manipulation, as it subtly pressures others to respond in a certain way. These behaviors are often unconscious, but they still impact those around us. Recognizing them is the first step toward change.   
      
    The purpose of this book is not to shame or condemn but to provide insight into these behaviors and offer practical steps for improvement. No one is perfect, and many people engage in manipulative behaviors at some point in their lives. However, when these behaviors become patterns, they can erode trust and create unhealthy dynamics. By identifying the signs of unintentional manipulation, individuals can develop healthier ways of expressing their needs, setting boundaries, and maintaining relationships based on mutual respect and honesty.

    The One Armed Whiskey Man of Jackass Canyon daylights a newly excavated vein in the Golden State of mind. It follows the unbelievably true life and times of accidental California pioneer Thomas D Carneal III. His prominent Northern Kentucky clan carved an ironic notch into the whiskey rebellion of 1790's and beyond. Out of the blue, tragedy struck, and the family legacy ricocheted off to the wilds of 1850’s Northern California, landing on a historic rancho, shortly after California statehood. It’s a fun, whiskey fueled romp that details a broad swath of Nor Cal history from the Gilded Age to the Progressive Era. This unbelievably true story concludes with the zeitgeist of creative lawlessness rampant in 1920’s Bay Area, where prohibition just never caught on.  A companion PDF is available on select platforms that provides historical photos relating to each chapter.
