Beschreibung

In "Amazing Stories from the History of Ohio (Illustrated)," William Dean Howells artfully weaves a tapestry of Ohio's rich historical narrative, blending anecdotal storytelling with a meticulous attention to detail. His literary style, characterized by a conversational tone and vivid imagery, invites readers to traverse through the significant events and remarkable figures that shaped the Buckeye State. The book serves not only as an entertaining collection of tales but also as an important contribution to regional historical literature, reflecting the zeitgeist of late 19th-century America when local histories were gaining prominence and public interest in state pride was burgeoning. William Dean Howells, a prominent figure in American literature and a staunch advocate for realism, drew from his own experiences growing up in Ohio to craft this work. Howells's background as a journalist and editor, combined with his love for Midwestern culture, informed his deep understanding of local narratives, making him a fitting chronicler of Ohio's historical treasures. His lifelong commitment to representing everyday life and authenticity shines through as he highlights stories often overshadowed by larger historical accounts. Readers who appreciate a blend of history and storytelling will find "Amazing Stories from the History of Ohio (Illustrated)" to be an engaging and enlightening read. This book not only celebrates the essence of Ohio but also enriches the understanding of its socio-cultural fabric, making it a valuable addition to the libraries of history enthusiasts and casual readers alike.

    As Adolf Eichmann sent hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz gas chambers, the Jews of Budapest needed the eyewitness testimony of Auschwitz escapees Ceslav Mordowicz and Arnost Rosinto save them. 
     
     
     
    The clock was ticking on the Nazi plan to annihilate the last group of the Hungarian Jewry. But after nearly suffocating in an underground bunker, Auschwitz prisoners Ceslav Mordowicz and Arnost Rosin escaped and told Jewish leaders what they had seen. Their testimony in early June, 1944, corroborated earlier hard-to-believe reports of mass killing in Auschwitz by lethal gas and provided eyewitness accounts of record daily arrivals of Hungarian Jews meeting the same fate. It was the spark needed to stir a call for action to pressure Hungary's premier to defy Hitler—just hours before more than 200,000 Budapest Jews were to be deported.

    This book contains two titles. Here are some snippets of what you can find in there: 
    Book 1 - In today’s world, our perception fundamentally shapes our reality. This explains why two people can have entirely different interpretations of the same event. The meaning we assign to events stems from our beliefs and emotions. So, can altering our perception actually change our world? If so, how can this be achieved? And if it's possible, how can we mold our reality to create a better one? 
    What we see defines what we believe, and what we believe dictates what we consider true. Our sense of truth then becomes our reality. Thus, our perception molds our reality. Although we share the same world, we each focus on our own perceived truths. Even though everyone has eyes, each person views the world in a unique way. It’s easy to find what we’re looking for, but harder to notice what we’re not searching for. For example, one person might see a glass as half-full while another sees it as half-empty. 
    Book 2 - Gender does influence persuasion, largely due to the emotional and intellectual differences between men and women. It is often believed that the direct, straightforward approach typically associated with men is more effective in persuasion than the emotionally nuanced methods often attributed to women. 
    One of the key differences between men and women is that men are primarily visually stimulated. This trait, while sometimes criticized as shallow, is rooted in our DNA and evolution. Historically, men were driven to seek healthy partners for reproduction, as visual cues were the primary way to assess health before the advent of modern medicine. In the days of early human society, a woman of child-bearing age who appeared healthy was naturally attractive to men, as it signaled good prospects for offspring.

    Our Nations and Nationalisms

    'Nationalism' is an increasingly unpopular word. Few would apply the label of 'nationalist' to themselves, and fewer still to any part of our history before the 1700s. But then, where does it come from? And what does it mean for us today?
    With one eye on the present as he unpicks the past, Owen Dudley Edwards finds nationalism to be older than recorded history and broader than modern geography. Our Nations and Nationalisms traces the phenomena back as far as the Old Testament and the works of Homer and Virgil, through the attempts of Shakespeare and James VI & I to found the first British Union, and into the Celtic legends that helped form the identities held in the UK today. 
    Taking wide-ranging examples from ancient to modern, from home and abroad, Dudley Edwards interrogates nationalism in action, asking what it really is and how it has impacted upon all of our lives, wherever we live or were born
    This demonised word, he argues, is a fact of human nature. It may take a variety of forms, but we are all, in some sense, 'nationalists'; it is incumbent upon each of us to find ways to use this fact in the interests of humanity, and not a single nation.
