Sinopse

In "Du Bois: Selected Essays," W.E.B. Du Bois presents a compelling collection that dives deep into the complexities of race, identity, and social justice in early 20th-century America. His literary style merges eloquence with incisive social critique, reflecting the intellectual vigor of the Harlem Renaissance and the broader progressive movements of his time. The essays illuminate themes of double consciousness, the struggle for civil rights, and the transformative power of education, providing a profound exploration of the African American experience. Du Bois's arguments are not only rooted in personal conviction but also in a rich tapestry of academic rigor and historical insight. W.E.B. Du Bois was a pioneering sociologist, historian, and civil rights activist, whose experiences as a Black man in America profoundly shaped his worldview and writings. Born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, he was the first African American to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard University. His involvement with the Niagara Movement and the NAACP underscored his dedication to fighting racial injustice, and his scholarly work laid the groundwork for future studies in sociology and race relations. This collection is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of racial dynamics in America and the intellectual roots of contemporary discussions on race. Du Bois's insights remain relevant, urging readers to confront the historical injustices that persist today, making this anthology a vital resource for scholars, students, and activists alike.

    The illuminati are a shadowy group that controls the world from behind the scenes. They're pulling the strings of the financial elite, government, the media, and even natural disasters. 
     
    The illuminati are in fact aliens. This is not a conspiracy theory, this is fact. The illuminati are a secret society that has been manipulating the world for centuries. They are responsible for major political and social events, and they control the everything. They are secretive and powerful, and they are not human. In fact, their bloodline goes back millennia to the very moment they genetically manipulated the human race on Earth. 
     
    The evidence is clear. The illuminati are aliens, and they are not our friends. They are manipulative and controlling, and they are hiding in the shadows. If you're not careful, they will control you too.

    "This audiobook is a touching testament to the power of stories, nature, and love to sustain and connect us." - AudioFile on Everything Left to Remember BETWEEN TWO KINGDOMS meets WILD. In this heart wrenching and inspirational memoir a woman and her mother, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s, embark on a road trip through national parks, revisiting the memories, and the mountains, that made them who they are.Steph Jagger lost her mother before she lost her. Her mother, stricken with an incurable disease that slowly erases all sense of self, struggles to remember her favorite drink, her favorite song, and—perhaps most heartbreaking of all—Steph herself. Steph watches as the woman who loved and raised her slips away before getting the chance to tell her story, and so Steph makes a promise: her mother will walk it and she will write it.Too aware of her mother’s waning memory, Steph proposes that the two take a camping trip out to Montana—which her mother, on the urging of Steph’s father, agrees to embark upon. An adventure full of horseback riding, hiking, and “tenting” out West quickly turns into one woman’s reflection on childhood, motherhood, personhood—and what it means to love someone who doesn’t quite remember the person she spent her lifetime becoming.A staggeringly beautiful examination of how stories are passed down through generations and from Mother Nature, Everything Left to Remember brings us the wisdom of who our memories make us under the constellations of the vast Montana sky.A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books

    First published in 1871, Ancient America delivers the earliest comprehensive English‑language survey of North America’s prehistoric past. Baldwin synthesizes scattered accounts—from the fluted‑point hunters of the Paleo‑Indian era to the monumental earthworks of the Mississippi‑Valley “Mound Builders,” and onward to the pyramidal cities of Mexico and Central America—into a single, lucid narrative. Rejecting then‑common Eurocentric myths, he argues that these civilizations were “wholly original, wholly American,” products of indigenous innovation rather than Old‑World transplantations. Richly illustrated with plates and informed by Baldwin’s correspondence with leading thinkers of his day, this seminal work frames American antiquities within a global archaeological context and remains a cornerstone for understanding the continent’s ancient ingenuity.
