Sinopsis

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 Mythology of the Aborigines - Dreamtime Stories from Australia - cover

    The Mythology of the Aborigines...

    Aboriginal mythology is one of the oldest and most enduring oral traditions in the world, deeply intertwined with the identity, spirituality, and way of life of Indigenous Australians. At the heart of this mythology is the concept of **Dreamtime**, the sacred era in which the land, people, and laws of existence were formed. Unlike Western myths, which often separate the past from the present, Dreamtime stories are timeless—continuing to shape and guide Aboriginal communities today.  
      
    One of the most profound aspects of Aboriginal mythology is its role in explaining the creation of the natural world. The Dreaming tells of powerful ancestral beings who shaped the land, created rivers and mountains, and gave life to animals and people. These stories are not just myths but sacred truths, passed down through generations as a way of preserving knowledge, laws, and cultural values. The **Rainbow Serpent**, for example, is a common figure in many Aboriginal cultures, often depicted as a creator spirit responsible for forming the land and waterways. Other tales speak of celestial beings, tricksters, and wise elders who teach important lessons about survival, respect, and harmony with nature.  
      
    Oral tradition is central to Aboriginal culture, ensuring that these sacred stories remain alive. Unlike written texts, Dreamtime stories are preserved through song, dance, rock art, and storytelling, allowing each generation to contribute to and maintain their significance. The stories are more than entertainment; they serve as maps for navigating the landscape, moral guides for behavior, and spiritual connections to the ancestors. They also emphasize a deep respect for the land, as many stories explain the sacred nature of particular sites, reinforcing the importance of environmental stewardship.

    The Roots of Military Science: Understanding the Intersection of Conflict, Mental Health and Wellness is about the psychology of conflict, the scars conflict leaves behind, and the generational healing that must follow. It is a plea for empathy, a call to learn from the past, and an optimistic blueprint for a future where the pen is mightier than the sword. The core of this narrative is formed by author Dr. Christina Rahm’s journey through healthcare and environmental stewardship amid the chaos of war and her search for peace. For Christina, the battlefield is both an external reality and an internal contemplation; it is the ground she walks on in countries torn by conflict, and the ethical landscape she navigates as a scientist committed to the preservation of life. 
    Within the pages of The Roots of Military Science lies a reflection, a confluence of critical thought, and a rigorous exploration of military science through the lens of clinical research. Readers will learn how warfare is used as a calculated tool for political force and provocation for economic gain. Complete with scientific research on the principles behind military strategy, tactical defense, attacks, planning, and coordination, The Roots of Military Science provides poignant insight into the psychological, philosophical, and scientific aspects of war which inevitably produces negative biological outcomes. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of the intersection of conflict, mental health, wellnesses, and impairment behind theories of military science.

    Mexican History - Drug Cartels...

    This book includes three titles about Mexico's history: 
    Cristero War - The Cristero War, also known as the Cristero Rebellion or La Cristiada [la kistjaa], was a widespread and deeply significant conflict that unfolded in central and western Mexico during the late 1920s. It was primarily driven by a violent response to the secularist and anti-clerical provisions of the 1917 Mexican Constitution, which sought to curtail the influence of the Catholic Church over the country's political and social life. The Constitution introduced sweeping reforms, including the restriction of church property rights and the severe limitations placed on the clergy’s ability to engage in public life. 
    Mexican Drug Cartels - The Mexican drug war, also known as the Guerra contra el narcotráfico en México, is the Mexican theater of the global war on drugs, a campaign led by the United States federal government. This war has resulted in a protracted, asymmetric low-intensity conflict between the Mexican government and various drug trafficking organizations. The Mexican government’s main objective when it intervened militarily in 2006 was to curb drug-related violence, which had escalated in the preceding years. The government’s stated aim, in collaboration with U.S. officials, was to eliminate the cartels and reduce the demand for drugs trafficking. 
    Pancho Villa - Francisco Villa, better known as Pancho Villa, was a key figure in the Mexican Revolution, known for his transformation from a bandit to one of the revolution’s most influential commanders. Villa’s rise to prominence in the early 20th century marked him as a central player in the violent upheavals that reshaped Mexico’s political landscape. In 1911, Villa became a significant actor in the revolutionary violence that led to the overthrow of President Porfirio Díaz, ushering in Francisco I. Madero’s government.
