Sinopse

In "31 Years on the Plains and in the Mountains," William F. Drannan presents a vivid tapestry of his life as a frontiersman, chronicling his experiences across the American West during the mid-19th century. This autobiographical narrative adopts a straightforward, yet evocative literary style, immersing readers in the harsh realities and breathtaking landscapes of the plains and mountains. Drannan's observations on the diverse cultures, including Native American tribes he encountered, coupled with his perilous adventures, render the book a significant contribution to the literature of westward expansion and frontier life, providing a rare firsthand account of the tumultuous era. Drannan, born in 1832, was not only a skilled horse trader and teamster but also an active participant in the tumultuous events that shaped the American frontier. His extensive travels and encounters with both settlers and Indigenous peoples were deeply influential, shaping his perspectives and leading him to document his rich experiences. His unique vantage point as a witness to both conflict and camaraderie enhances the authenticity of his narrative, making it an essential historical record. "31 Years on the Plains and in the Mountains" is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, particularly the stories of those who forged lives on the frontier. Drannan's eloquent prose and unvarnished truth-telling paint a compelling picture of a world that is both familiar and foreign, appealing not just to history enthusiasts but also to readers seeking to understand the complexities of the American identity.

    In Anger Management for Parents, a workbook guide on how to manage your emotions we will dive into how to first process and overcome your anger, with steps that will help you calm yourself and begin to turn away from angry outbursts. 
    Once you have mastered that, we will begin to teach you how to mend the relationship you have with your child; an angry parent can divide a household and ruin bridges that were meant to last a lifetime. We will begin to build them back for you and your family. Once you have managed your anger and your child’s anger, we will turn our attention toward the future, where we will teach you how to make sure your child does not follow in your footsteps. 
    Though the process will take well over a year to complete, this book will guide you through the most difficult times of it. Each chapter brings with it detailed lists and lessons that will aid you. Though I will never claim that the lessons will be easy or quick, they will be worth it. 
    The lessons that you will learn in this book will help you far after you have finished this book. Beyond just yourself, you will learn to help your children and extended family. And if you get confident enough and sturdy enough in what you have learned, you can join focus groups and tell the story of how it is done. 
    And finally, you will begin to have new memories that you can remember instead of the harsh ones that you carry with you now. To be released of the turmoil that those memories send you nightly. You will remember instead of your child telling you they love you, and you know they mean it. New hobbies and activities that your children will ask you to join them with as they will no longer fear your outbursts but rather cherish your laughter.

    For over fifty years, historian Kevin C. Kearns trekked the rough-and-tumble streets of the heart of Dublin, hoping to record and preserve the city's vanishing oral history. Armed only with a Sony tape recorder, the ordinary people he encountered – street traders, dockers, factory workers, tram drivers, midwives, mothers, grandparents, publicans, jarveys – shared private stories of hardship, joy, sorrow, survival and triumph – with humour and whimsy.
    In Our Day is the culmination of a life's work – a treasure trove bursting with whispers from the past – 450 vignettes, memories and recollections gathered to present an evocative, poignant portrait of a forgotten Dublin.
    'Those of us who know and love Dublin owe Kearns a huge debt.' Roddy Doyle
    'Without Kevin, the lives of ordinary decent Dubliners would be forgotten. This book is a celebration of them.' Joe Duffy

    With the White Paper on the Future of Europe, the European Commission had launched a debate on fundamental reforms of the Union structures in 2017. A total of five reform scenarios ranged from a reduction and focusing of the Union’s competences to increased integration in the sense of a United States of Europe. However, the White Paper did not have any consequences; none of the reform scenarios presented was implemented. However, current global challenges in the areas of health, climate change and energy resources as well as the shift in the global balance of power and related security issues demonstrate the increasing importance of a strong and united Europe. The idea of an “ever closer union”, as laid down in the preamble of the 1992 EU Treaty, could experience a renaissance. Against this background, the 13th Network Europe Conference addressed the importance of the integration project in times of global crises and the challenges in various policy areas, as well as the EU’s relations with its eastern and southern neighbors and its role vis-à-vis global actors such as China and Russia. This publication contains the conference contributions.
