Synopsis

William Hickling Prescott's "History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella the Catholic" offers a meticulously researched chronicle of the pivotal years that shaped the Spanish monarchy in the late 15th century. Written in the 19th century, Prescott employs a narrative style that is both engaging and accessible, marked by his vivid descriptions and a keen analytical approach to historical events. The book delves into the cultural and political landscape of the time, addressing the complexities of the Reconquista, the Spanish Inquisition, and the early voyages of exploration, all while situating these events within a broader European context. Prescott'Äôs use of original documents enhances the authenticity of his account, making it a significant contribution to historiography. Prescott, a trailblazing American historian, was profoundly influenced by both his classical education and the imperial narratives of his time. Despite facing physical challenges due to partial blindness, he dedicated himself to the meticulous study of Spanish archives. His travels in Spain enriched his understanding of the cultural nuances and historical intricacies, providing a solid foundation for the creation of this seminal work, which highlights the dualities of strength and tyranny within the reign. This compelling narrative is highly recommended for readers interested in Spanish history, as well as those who appreciate a rich, historical analysis of monarchic power. Prescott'Äôs nuanced portrayal of Ferdinand and Isabella not only informs but also invites reflection on the legacies of their rule, making it an essential text for historians and enthusiasts alike.

    One of the first books to explore this influential spiritual and magical tradition, covering its philosophy while also providing a practical hands-on guide. 
     
     
     
    Espiritismo is the Spanish word for Spiritism or Spiritualism, spiritual traditions that emerged to great popularity in the US following the Civil War. 
     
     
     
    In the US and Canada, Spiritualism's primary focus was on communication between the living and the dead. The spiritual tradition traveled around the world, especially in Latin America, where it evolved in different ways. 
     
     
     
    The Puerto Rican influence on modern Western magic is profound but largely unheralded. Beginning in the early twentieth century, Puerto Rican immigrants to the US introduced Espiritismo to the US spiritual landscape, strongly affecting the way magic was practiced. Hector Salva's book places Puerto Rican Espiritismo in this broader perspective.

    Learn from four remarkable professors in a set of One Day University presentations on the great American Presidents. The framers of the Constitution were in uncharted territory when they created the office of the presidency. No one at that time had a clear vision of what the president of a national republic would do, and only the vaguest notion existed when George Washington took the oath in 1789. For nearly 250 years, our elected Presidents have played a role in shaping what the office has become. Thomas Jefferson described the presidency as a “splendid misery,” John Quincy Adams felt it was “harassing,” and Warren Harding said simply “It’s hell!" And yet somehow some of our most notable Presidents left office with remarkable accomplishments.

    Almost one factor in our lives causes us pain or overwhelming emotions. One such factor 
    can be hard to determine and can be seen as inconceivable, among many others. These 
    emotions may be hard to identify, harder to grasp, and could lead to various unfavorable 
    events in our lives. Unless they are recognized for the problems they cause, and 
    appropriate care is offered as soon as they are conceived. 
    Anxiety, also termed by the common notion of concern, is one such thing in our lives that 
    affects us, daily or temporarily. It is that one factor that people need to be cautious of and 
    should make no fault in determining the cause of. The solutions that come forth after 
    conceiving the cause are also to be given crucial importance. 
    Some common questions that many people wonder: What is anxiety? What is the cure for 
    anxiety? Are there any symptoms to determine it? There are a lot of questions, but there 
    appear to be fewer solutions. Although these solutions can be determined over time and 
    implemented in our daily lives, doing so requires perseverance. The constant motivation 
    and drive are what makes it seem real in the end, but knowing the solutions that can aid 
    when implemented is one vital step towards happiness. 
    “Goodbye Anxiety, Hello Happiness” helps determine the different causes of anxiety in its 
    various forms, comparing it to other well-known notions and seeking out the differences. 
    It also aims at posing the necessary solutions to combat anxiety using the right practical 
    knowledge and methods.
