Sinopsis

"The Northmen, Columbus and Cabot, 985-1503" is a comprehensive exploration of early transoceanic voyages that bridges the Viking expeditions to the New World with the pioneering journeys of Columbus and Cabot. This compilation presents a meticulous examination of historical accounts, navigational techniques, and intercultural encounters during this pivotal era of exploration. Written in a scholarly yet accessible style, the text not only narrates these historical events but also places them within a broader literary context, highlighting the confluence of diverse narratives that shaped European perceptions of the Americas. The authors, a collective of distinguished historians and scholars, draw upon extensive research and primary sources to illuminate the motivations, challenges, and consequences of these voyages. Their diverse academic backgrounds in maritime history, anthropology, and cultural studies contribute to a multifaceted understanding of how these explorers, driven by curiosity, commerce, and conquest, navigated uncharted waters and altered the course of history. The synthesis of their perspectives underscores the complexity of the narratives surrounding these early explorers. This book is a crucial read for anyone interested in the maritime history of the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance. Its rigorous scholarship and engaging prose make it an invaluable resource for students, historians, and general readers alike, encouraging a deeper appreciation of the interconnectedness of human experiences across the Atlantic.

In Container Conjure, Mama Starr teaches you how to load your own containers and maintain control over your spellcasting.

    In 1620, a group of English families, known now as the Pilgrims, were carried from England to the New World on the Mayflower. When the Mayflower finally showed up in America on November twenty-first, 1620, it had 102 guests and a team of around 30 on board and was anchored off Cape Cod. 
    The Pilgrims, as opposed to their Puritan coworkers, chose to break away from the Church of England because of its Roman Catholic heritage and the church's hesitation to reform, requiring them to pray in personal instead of in the church. In 1608, a group of English families left England for the Netherlands, where they could practice their faith without fear of persecution. As early as 1620, the Plymouth Group population had determined to cross the Atlantic to the New World, which they viewed as a "new Promised Land." 
    Due to hold-ups and challenges, the Pilgrims were only able to take one ship, the Mayflower, to reach America in early October. It was a pretty hard winter season when they showed up in November, and they were unprepared. Consequently, hardly half of the original Pilgrims made it through the first winter season at Plymouth, Massachusetts. All of the settlers may have died if near Native tribes had not taught them how to collect food and other survival methods. On that first fall harvest, they gathered with Native Americans to celebrate what would end up being referred to as the first Thanksgiving in America.

    How do conflicts escalate? This is one of the major questions in conflict research. To offer further answers, Richard Bösch follows a tripartite agenda: First, he develops a constructivist methodology for the study of conflict escalation embedded in a Luhmannian systems theoretical world society perspective. Bösch argues that conflicts can be observed as social systems and he looks at the process of conflict escalation by analysing communication. Second, this analysis offers two case studies: the Maidan protests in Ukraine 2013-2014 and Mali's crisis 2010-2012. Third, it gives insights on how systems theoretical research can be beneficial for Peace and Conflict Studies.
