Beschreibung

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.

    It takes being tackled in the park to get Sarah out of her rut. 
      
      
    Although, Sarah wouldn't call it a rut. At 22 years old she's comfortable where she is in life - living with her dad, hanging out with her best friend, and working at the same job since she was 14 years old. Life has so much more to offer, but she's not interested in any hand-outs. Not even from her best friend Nina who is desperate to get her back on the dating scene. When Riak Royal attacks her in the park, Sarah finds herself more attracted to the tall, dark, and animalistic werewolf than she is afraid. With her dark purple eyes and disarming grin, Riak shakes up her life by claiming Sarah as her mate right then and there. Now instead of maybe rekindling something casual with her ex, Sarah has to figure out how Riak fits in her life no matter how commitment-phobic she is, because the alternative would be insanity. 
    With the help of Nina, and a whole lot of introspection, Sarah will find herself on a journey of self-discovery she never would have expected, while maybe falling in love with the werewolf she never asked for.

    An investigation into the deaths of six Aboriginal women and the police responses that left families reeling 
      
    'If you think it's hard being a white woman in Australia, try being a black woman.' These were the words that set a team of journalists at the Adelaide Advertiser on an investigation into the tragic deaths of six young Indigenous women. 
    It was Courtney Hunter-Hebberman who uttered those words, up on stage at an International Women's Day event. A shocking number of Indigenous women die every year by murder or suicide, and Courtney's daughter, Rose, was one of them. Rose's apparent death by suicide at nineteen, in a backyard shed, had left her mother craving answers - answers the police seemed unable to give her. 
    Inspired by Courtney's courage and grief, the Advertiser team hoped to shed light on Rose's death and put Courtney's mind at rest. But what they found, as their investigation of one death rolled into another five, was disturbing. Lack of urgency, sloppy searches, poor communication, and assumptions by police were just some of the problems . 
    As the team probed further, even bigger questions about whether Indigenous Australians, especially women, are heard when they speak. 
    Based on the podcast Dying Rose, this is a compelling look at young Indigenous women's vulnerability to danger, and how, when their lives are cut short, their families are left to cope with a grief seemingly compounded by indifference.

    This Is Your Body on Trauma is the first book to teach readers how to use nutrition to heal underlying trauma that presents in physical symptoms. It features a unique do-it-yourself approach, allowing people to completely customize their care plan. 
      
    Trauma is pervasive, and recovery usually involves extensive talk therapy. What is often overlooked is using nutrition as a way to restore a sense of safety and self-trust. Research shows between 75 and 90 percent of physician visits are due to the wear and tear on the body from stress hormones. The gut is often our first indicator that something is awry; it is the watchtower raising the alarm, and the existence of trauma can create a negative feedback loop with the brain that leads to several quite common gut-brain axis complaints, such as anxiety, depression, IBS, and pain. 
      
    More than “just” a nutrition book, This Is Your Body on Trauma helps people make connections between what is going on in their mind and body with a unique 360-degree integrative approach to mental health. Using a unique, customizable approach, readers are given a series of experiments based on recommendations, formulating their needs and providing actionable solutions to lessen the perception of stress with nutrition. This book will help people who have experienced traumatic events as both a child and an adult, those who experience chronic stress, as well as people who have experienced food trauma heal and manage the physiological impacts of that trauma throughout their lives. 
      
    • The experiments provided in the book can be done in collaboration with a therapy or nutrition provider. 
    • This book is the only one that discusses not only nutrition for trauma (what to eat), but also applies it in a trauma-informed way (how to eat to avoid triggers).
