Summary

The geographical area of that history which alone deserves the name has more than once changed. The early home of human society was in Asia. Greece and Italy successively became the theatres of the world’s drama, and in modern times the real progress of society has moved within the limits of Western Christendom. So, too, with the material history. At one period the growth of the life of the world is in its literature, at another in its wars, at another in its institutions. Sometimes everything circles round one great man; at other times the key to the interest is found in some complex political idea such as the balance of power, or the realization of national identity.

    Thomas Alva Edison, called "America's biggest developer," was an American inventor and businessperson. In disciplines consisting of electrical power generation, mass communication, sound recording, and movie, he developed many devices. 
    The phonograph, movie electronic camera, and early variations of the electrical light bulb are amongst the developments that have had a substantial influence on the modern-day developed world. Dealing with a great deal of scientists and staff, he was just one of the first developers to use the ideas of organized science and cooperation to the process of development. He was the first to establish a commercial lab. 
    Edison was born in the American Midwest and worked as a telegraph operator early in his profession, which motivated numerous of his earlier developments. 
    In the year 1876, he opened his first lab in Menlo Park, New Jersey, where he worked on numerous of his early developments. In collaboration with capitalists Henry Ford and Harvey S. Firestone, he later built a botanical lab in Fort Myers, Florida, and a lab in West Orange, New Jersey, which housed the world's first movie studio, the Black Maria. He was a respected innovator, with 1,093 U.S. patents and patents in other nations to his name. Edison had 6 kids from 2 marital relationships. In the year 1931, he passed away of diabetes issues. 
    In this book, you will learn more about his inventions, his personal life, and the society in which he lived.

    It’s the year 2004 A.D  
    JuandreAt twenty-two, my existence was crusty. It was a Friday afternoon when I was racing like the Red Queen down the interstate from New York to Lexington, Kentucky, feeling like I would never reach my destination and, simultaneously, reluctant to start my life as a straight-married man and a father-to-be.   
    When I crossed the bridge at the Ohio River, I swung my sexy sports car over to the first R&G (rainbow and glitter) establishment for a martini or three. One olive turned into several before I returned to the highway, wired and waving off my newfound besties, whom I will probably never see again. Their enthusiastic motivational pep talks convinced me to take a chance, find the man of my dreams, and ask for what I wanted.Juandre and Andrew’s Story—Before the Doomsday of 2046 A.D.

    Subtle abuse is a form of psychological harm that often goes unnoticed, yet its effects can be just as damaging as more overt forms of mistreatment. Unlike physical abuse, which leaves visible marks, or direct verbal abuse, which is easier to identify, subtle abuse operates in the shadows, disguised as normal behavior, misunderstandings, or even acts of care. This makes it particularly dangerous because victims may not recognize it until significant emotional and psychological damage has already occurred. 
    At its core, subtle abuse is about control, manipulation, and emotional harm inflicted in ways that are difficult to detect. It can take many forms, including gaslighting, passive-aggressive behavior, emotional withholding, and undermining someone’s confidence in indirect ways. A common characteristic of subtle abuse is its plausibility—it often leaves victims doubting their own experiences and questioning whether they are simply overreacting. Because the harm is delivered in small, often deniable doses, victims may struggle to explain their distress to others, further isolating them in their experience. 
    One of the most insidious aspects of subtle abuse is its ability to erode a person’s sense of self over time. The victim may start to feel insecure, anxious, or even incapable, not realizing that their mental state has been shaped by constant, indirect put-downs or the gradual withholding of emotional support. For example, a partner who consistently dismisses concerns with phrases like “You’re too sensitive” or “I was just joking” may be engaging in subtle emotional abuse by invalidating the other person’s feelings. Similarly, a boss who subtly undermines an employee’s work without overt criticism may be manipulating them into self-doubt and compliance.

    Rebel - My Escape from Saudi...

    A gripping memoir of bravery and sacrifice by a young woman whose escape from her abusive family and an oppressive culture in Saudi Arabia captivated the world 
     In early 2019, after three years of careful planning, Rahaf Mohammed finally escaped her abusive family in Saudi Arabia—but made it only to Bangkok before being stripped of her passport. If forced to return home, she was sure she would be killed, like other rebel women in her country. As men pounded at the door of her barricaded hotel room, she opened a Twitter account. The teenager reached out to the world, and the world answered—she gained 45,000 followers in one day, and those followers helped her seek asylum in the West. 
    Now Rahaf Mohammed tells her remarkable story in her own words, revealing untold truths about life in the closed kingdom, where young women are brought up in a repressive system that puts them under the legal control of a male guardian. Raised with immense financial privilege but under the control of her male relatives—including her high-profile politician father—she endured an abusive childhood in which oppression and deceit were the norm. 
    Moving from Rahaf’s early days on the underground online network of Saudi runaways, who use coded entries to learn how to flee the brutalities of their homeland, to her solo escape to Canada, Rebel is a breathtaking and life-affirming memoir about one woman’s tenacious pursuit of freedom.
