If you want to discover the captivating history of Hannah Duston, then keep reading...In a time very different from our own, there lived a woman that led an extraordinary life. The single most important event in her existence has stood the test of time. Her character, her actions, and her deepest thoughts and desires are still debated to this day. She has become a symbol of an era that many people today do not understand or comprehend. Hannah Duston lived in a period when women were meant to be delicate, feeble, and more compassionate, but she defied this stereotype. She could be thought of as the ultimate mama bear defending her cubs and warding off all who would harm them. Or she could be seen as the wolf among the lambs that waits for the perfect moment to strike. Her accomplishments in life were great, and her courage stronger than most people. Yet her moral outlook on life was questionable. She was more than just a woman; she was a fighter with a keen sense of survival. She killed to avenge who she loved and never apologized for her actions, even if they were wrong. In Hannah Duston: A Captivating Guide to the First American Woman to Have a Statue Built in Her Honor, you will discover topics such as English, French, and Native Americans: Frenemies for Decades Hannah's Early Life The Fateful Raid on Haverhill Hannah's Zero Hour Merrimack River Massacre Hannah's Final Reflection Hannah Duston Memorials The Ugly Side of Hannah Controversial Candor And much, much more!So if you want to learn more about Hannah Duston, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Scientific Revolution, then keep reading...Ancient cultures have been looking up at the stars for thousands of years, wondering about their place in the universe. What were those glowing spots in the black cover of night? Just how far away was the moon? These and other questions hounded humanity through the millennia until, finally, relative economic stability allowed for a number of people to examine their world more closely. Slowly, knowledge and understanding accumulated generation by generation until the conditions were ideal enough for a revolution to occur in thinking, experimentation, worldview, and natural philosophy.It was the Scientific Revolution, the time period when Western theologians had more and better tools to measure and make sense of the things around them. With careful measurements, precise data collection, and an unwavering sense of curiosity, humankind stepped into the future. The truly magnificent feature of this time period, besides, of course, the scientific discoveries themselves, was the kinship between philosophers, scientists, and experimental hobbyists throughout Europe. Hundreds, if not thousands, of letters between great intellectuals such as Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, Robert Hooke, and Tycho Brahe have been preserved, demonstrating how these men (and a few women) worked in cooperation with one another in order to better their own research. In The Scientific Revolution: A Captivating Guide to the Emergence of Modern Science During the Early Modern Period, Including Stories of Thinkers Such as Isaac Newton and René Descartes, you will discover topics such as Science: A Definition and Brief Prehistory The Early Western Sciences Paracelsus Nicolaus Copernicus Luigi Anguillara Andreas Vesalius Ignazio Danti Tycho and Sophia Brahe Paul Wittich Sethus Calvisius Joseph Goedenhuyze Giordano Bruno Conrad Gessner Johannes Kepler Daniel Sennert Galileo Galilei William Harvey René Descartes Robert Boyle Antonie van Leeuwenhoek Isaac Newton Robert Hooke Maria Sibylla Merian Maria Winckelmann-Kirch William and Caroline Herschel Mary Somerville And much, much more!So if you want to learn more about the Scientific Revolution, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Sarmatians and Scythians, then keep reading...Masters of the horse, the Scythians and Sarmatians opened the Eurasian Steppe to nomadic civilizations like it had never seen before. For the first time, a group of tribes sharing a common culture called the Steppe their home, adapting themselves to its harshness. Born out of this environment, a very particular way to live was adopted and later spread to peoples of Central Asia-the pastoral nomadic lifestyle. It would be the bane of organized armies of great empires, as the excellent mobility granted by their superior horse-riding skills were no match compared to the slow, organized infantry.The tale of the Scythians and Sarmatians have lasted through history, and although they had not one written historical record of their own, their presence was registered by dozens of classical historians. More importantly, though, their precious burial tombs still retained some of the civilizational remains of this extraordinary group of peoples.In Sarmatians and Scythians: A Captivating Guide to the Barbarians of Iranian Origins and How These Ancient Tribes Fought Against the Roman Empire, Goths, Huns, and Persians, you will discover topics such as Origins of the Scythians and Sarmatians Art, Culture, and Religion Economy and Society Warfare and Conquest End of the Scythians and Sarmatians And much, much more!So if you want to learn more about Sarmatians and Scythians, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

Explore cómo se liberaron los esclavos en la Revolución haitianaLa Revolución haitiana fue una rebelión de esclavos que comenzó en 1791 en la colonia francesa de Saint-Domingue, conocida ahora como Haití. En esta pequeña isla los tiranos fueron los dueños de esclavos, gente que no solo privaba de libertad a sus esclavos, sino que también pensaba que estaba justificado quitarles la vida. La Revolución haitiana empezó a cambiar la imagen de los esclavos en el mundo. Aunque costó otros 100 años erradicar la esclavitud en occidente, era imposible ignorar el paralelismo entre lo que los americanos y los franceses hicieron a los esclavos. La Revolución haitiana fue el primer y único caso en el que una rebelión de esclavos desembocó en la creación de un nuevo estado.

If you want to discover the captivating history of Notre-Dame de Paris, then keep reading...It was with horror and sadness that the people of the world opened their social media or switched on their televisions on April 15th, 2019, only to see terrifying pictures of smoke and flames roaring around one of the most iconic outlines in France: that of Notre-Dame de Paris. The cathedral attracts more visitors than the Eiffel Tower (an estimated 13 million annually), and it has become a favorite with tourists and Parisians alike. Mass is still conducted there regularly, and when the fire destroyed part of Notre-Dame, all of the world mourned.There is more to Notre-Dame, however, than just a tragic fire. Almost nine centuries of history lie behind its weathered towers, and its history is closely interlinked with that of France and its people. Its story has rung out through the ages as one of hope and survival, a tale of fear and destruction turning into courage and renovation. Its characters range from novelists to saints, from daredevils to kings, from generals to emperors. Its themes stretch across the spectrum, from humanity's greatest darkness to the warmth of the human spirit; it tells stories about exceptional brutality and exceptional grace, of the greatest terror of them all and of dauntless courage. Kings were crowned here, emperors seized power, Nazis paraded the streets, and saints strove valiantly to break sieges. There were wars and revolts, there were requiems and battles, there were suicides and stunts, and there were feats of human engineering that still baffle the modern mind.And above all, now and always, then and forever, there is hope.The world watched Notre-Dame burn. Now, it's time for the world to hear its story.In Notre-Dame de Paris: A Captivating Guide to One of the Most Famous Catholic Cathedrals of Medieval Europe, you will discover topics such as Before Notre-Dame The Construction of a Cathedral A Curse and a Coronation The First Ransacking Louis Times Two Surviving Revolution The Emperor and the Hunchback Two Warrior Women Withstanding the War Part of Us Burning And much, much more!So if you want to learn more about Notre-Dame de Paris, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!
