Sinopsis

"The Beginnings of America, 1607-1763" is a comprehensive anthology that weaves together a rich tapestry of early American history, examining key events, figures, and socio-political dynamics from the establishment of the Jamestown colony to the pre-Revolutionary era. The literary style of this collection reflects a blend of narrative non-fiction and scholarly analysis, meticulously highlighting the diverse perspectives of indigenous peoples, European settlers, and enslaved Africans. Each chapter offers a critical lens through which readers can understand the complexities of colonial life and the burgeoning American identity, set against the backdrop of European imperial ambitions and intercultural exchanges. The editors of this volume, comprising various distinguished historians, draw upon their extensive research and expertise in early American studies to compile texts that reflect the varied narratives of a young nation. Their collective passion for uncovering previously marginalized voices and emphasizing the interconnectivity of different groups during this formative period shapes the reader's understanding of the foundational events that would eventually lead to the American Revolution and the development of a distinct national ethos. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the complexities of early American history. It invites readers to explore the intricate web of influences that shaped the New World, providing invaluable insights for students, scholars, and history enthusiasts alike. "The Beginnings of America, 1607-1763" not only educates but also inspires reflection on the enduring legacy of these foundational years.

    ‘I was so busy keeping him happy I didn’t notice how long it had been since I’d seen my friends. I seemed to apologise for everything. I was constantly tense, holding my breath, trying to predict his mood. Slowly my world became smaller, darker and lonelier.’ 
    Coercive Control is an insidious fog. The first ‘red flags’ are so small you don’t notice them: a simple remark about how to do something ‘the right way’ or a suggestion about how you should dress. He cares about where you are and who you are with. 
    We all want the perfect relationship, but for the courageous authors in Coerced to Courageous, their soulmate was more like checkmate.  
    The first ‘red flags’ of Coercive Control are so subtle you barely notice them. Eventually, he has driven away your friends and family, is making all the decisions and controlling the finances, and you are trapped. These brave, resilient, brilliant women share the tools that helped them escape and rebuild their lives. They want to encourage and empower you to break the chains of coercive control and create the life you deserve. 
    Broken to Brilliant is an Australian not-for-profit charity where domestic violence survivors mentor other survivors to rebuild successful lives using the power of story.  
    When we saw the impact on people’s lives of our first three books, the changes made, the hope in their hearts, the joy and gratitude for their new lives, we had to continue to share stories of hope, healing & recovery. There had to be a fourth book. 
    We applaud each of our authors for sharing their raw, vulnerable & courageous stories. Our hope is that these books will provide you with the tools to take back your power so you can rebuild your life the way you choose. Each step forward is a courageous move toward your new life filled with peace, happiness & achievement.

    From the author of Memory and the Mediterranean, a comprehensive history of the Italian city states from 1450 to 1650. 
     
     
     
    In the fifteenth century, even before the city states of the Apennine Peninsula began to coalesce into what would become, several centuries later, a nation, "Italy" exerted enormous influence over all of Europe and throughout the Mediterranean. Its cultural, economic, and political dominance is utterly astonishing and unique in world history. Viewing the Italy (the many Italies?) of that time through the lens of today allows us to gather a fragmented, multi-faceted, and seemingly contradictory history into a single unifying narrative that speaks to our current reality as much as it does to a specific historical period. This is what the acclaimed French historian, Fernand Braudel, achieves here. He brings to life the two extraordinary centuries that span the Renaissance, Mannerism, and the Baroque and analyzes the complex interaction between art, science, politics, and commerce during Italy's extraordinary cultural flowering.

    Think for Your Victim is a concept of different skill sets that emphasizes the act of 
    putting oneself in someone else's shoes. Ultimately, these skills empower us to build on 
    mutual respect, communication, and emotional awareness, enhancing our overall 
    well-being and contributing to a more compassionate and connected society. 
    Thinking for others before reacting can help you maintain control and avoid 
    unnecessary conflict. Take a moment to pause and consider the feelings and 
    perspectives of those around you. Ask yourself how your words or actions might affect 
    them and the situation at hand. Practice empathy by putting yourself in their shoes, 
    which can lead to a clearer understanding of their motivations and challenges. This 
    mindfulness allows you to respond thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively, 
    reducing the chances of overreacting and potentially embarrassing yourself. By 
    fostering communication and being considerate, you can create a more positive 
    atmosphere, making it easier to navigate conflicts and relationships.
