If you want to discover the captivating history of the United States, then keep reading...When the first settlers reached the United States of America and started to chip out a living in the wilderness that seemed so fierce and unfamiliar to their European eyes, they could never have dreamed that someday the land upon which they stood would become one of the most powerful countries in the entire world.When Native Americans first witnessed those white sails bringing ships with white sailors into their world for the first time, they could never have dreamed that within a few centuries their population would be all but destroyed, that they would have to endure massacre after massacre, be stripped of their freedom and confined to comparatively tiny reservations, and walk the Trail of Tears within the next few hundred years.When the preachers of the Great Awakening stood on the backs of wagons or bits of old tree stumps and told the American people a new story of individual freedom and the power of ordinary people, they could never have dreamed that their preaching would trigger a landslide of abolitionism that would end in a civil war that almost tore the entire country apart.When the Civil War was finally won by the Union, and all African Americans' chains were broken at last, the military leaders could never have dreamed that within the next half century, the United States would emerge as one of the world's greatest military powers during the Spanish-American War. And when those soldiers won the struggle against Spain in Cuba, they could never have dreamed that later in the century, Cuba itself would turn against them and become the single greatest threat of nuclear annihilation during the Cold War.When the Wright Brothers first took to the air and Thomas Edison made the lightbulb, they could never have dreamed that American innovation would produce not only the Ford car, basketball, the telephone, and Facebook, but it would also be instrumental in creating the atomic bombs that killed hundreds of thousands of people and finally brought an end to the Second World War. As for Martin Luther King, Jr., he did dream. He had a dream of equality and brotherhood, and his dream at least partially came true in 2008 when America saw the inauguration of its first black president. Never could the slaves of the great plantations of the South have dreamed that that day would ever come, but it did.Nobody could have dreamed it, but it all came to pass, and it became the history of the United States of America. And this is how it all happened...In The History of the United States: A Captivating Guide to American History, Including Events Such as the American Revolution, French and Indian War, Boston Tea Party, Pearl Harbor, and the Gulf War, you will discover topics such asThe People Who Were There FirstA Time of ExplorationColonizing AmericaThe French and Indian WarThe Boston Tea PartyThe American RevolutionThe First PresidentRestless TimesHorrors for the NativesAwakeningCivil WarSeeking for PeaceA Rising PowerProgressDisaster StrikesThe Biggest Bomb in the WorldIcy TensionFreedom on the Home FrontTerror and Its WarAnd much, much more!So if you want to learn more about the history of the United States, then scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Age of Enlightenment, then keep reading...The life of an eminent scientist during the Scientific Revolution and the ensuing Enlightenment was not easy. Ambitious people were killed in the name of the Catholic Church for their scientific and philosophical works, which were often viewed as heretical. As time went on, however, and the truths of scientific research and exploration showed themselves time and time again, the collective perspective of the population began to shift away from religious dogma toward the logical scientific method.The Enlightenment gained traction in the 17th century, and more emphasis was given to scientific techniques in the schools, as well as to the separation of religious and scientific data. Religious philosophies also became less rooted in the exact words of the Catholic Church, as papal authority gave way in many European countries to splinter groups of Christianity, such as the Calvinists, Lutherans, and other types of Protestants.Major figures of the Enlightenment period include Voltaire, Isaac Newton, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, David Hume, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Adam Smith, Immanuel Kant, and Thomas Jefferson. These and many other great thinkers of the era influenced mass social upheaval in pursuit of equality and human rights, and many historians consider the culmination of these efforts to have been the French Revolution of 1789.In Age of Enlightenment: A Captivating Guide to the Age of Reason, Including the Lives of Isaac Newton, Francis Bacon, John Locke, and Mary Somerville, you will discover topics such as The Republic of Letters Michel de Montaigne Francis Bacon Marie de Gournay René Descartes Bathsua Makin Anna Maria Van Schurman Dorothy Moore Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia Robert Boyle John Locke Isaac Newton England's Civil War The Royal Society of London Marie du Moulin Conflict in the Royal Society Charles-Louis de Secondat (Montesquieu) Benjamin Franklin David Hume Adam Smith The Boston Tea Party Thomas Paine The American Revolution François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire) Mary Sommerville And much, much more!So if you want to learn more about the Age of Enlightenment, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

If you want to discover the captivating life of John Jay, then keep reading...John Jay was a master statesman and strategic diplomat who associated with all the great men of his day in the mid-18th century. However, his contemporaries said that he was modest and humble. They indicated that they could be at a party or gathering and guests had to coax him into discussing his role during the American Revolution or as the first Supreme Court justice of the new nation.When he became the first chief justice of America, he established the groundwork for fairness and neutrality in decision-making. Many of the principles he established in the 19th century are practiced today by this high court. His foresight was extremely acute, and leaders of America sought out his opinions even during his retirement. He was a role model for patience and fairness, and he manifested these qualities in his roles as a jurist, the governor of New York, and the ambassador to Spain, France, and England. None of his positions were easy ones. Every issue he confronted in his political life was a negotiation, and he was expected to referee various opposing factions. Almost magically he developed practical results that were “win-win solutions.”John Jay is a Founding Father who is often overlooked, and few people realize the extent and impact of his contributions to the new nation. He might not have been a part of the Constitutional Convention, but he passionately argued for a more powerful, yet balanced, centralized form of government which eventually led to the passing of the U.S. Constitution. John Jay’s work provided for the expression of liberty and justice in a viable society, and he designed a functional and dynamic process that still works today.In John Jay: A Captivating Guide to an American Statesman, Patriot, Diplomat, Governor of New York, the First Chief Justice, and One of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America, you will discover topics such asFrom Tyranny to FreedomYearning to Be FreeFreedom Is ExpensiveNew York in CrisisJohn Jay in the Midst of the American RevolutionTreaty of Paris and RepercussionsConstitution and CourtJohn Jay, Chief Justice and Gubernatorial CandidateThe Jay Treaty and John Jay as GovernorJohn Jay During His Initial RetirementJohn Jay: The Final YearsAnd much, much more!

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Anglo-Saxons, then keep reading...There was a time before England was united. This was a time before William the Bastard decided to prove to his contemporaries that his bastard moniker would be erased with a swift conquest of the biggest island northwest of Europe. A time before the Battle of Hastings and the year 1066. A time when many petty kingdoms ruled, conquered, and were liberated, time and time again, by a specific people group. A people group that is, in fact, a blend of many and that authors of later dates would collectively call the Anglo-Saxons.With this book, we want to let our readers know how vibrant and lively (as well as deadly) life in Britain was during the perhaps wrongly-titled “Dark Ages.” With the end of the Roman Empire, the local Britons were left to their devices, and it would be several people groups from a peninsula in Central Europe that would come to dominate the island, making sure their presence was known through a series of kingdoms, battles, clashes, victories, and defeats.But the Anglo-Saxons have a lot more to offer us history buffs. We can learn about their day-to-day life: how they dressed, what they ate and drank, how they waged war or had fun, how they buried their dead, and how they worshiped their gods. We can also learn about their art, their amazing metal and clay pieces, stunning bits of tapestries, and dozens of well-illuminated manuscripts. And if we lack any information on what they thought of the world around them, we can be happy that they were willing to tell us that themselves, all through hundreds of written texts of both religious and secular nature.The Anglo-Saxons were, indeed, an odd group of people to take control of Britain. But they didn’t do it all at once, and just like any other people in history, they had a period of adjustment, growth, reconstruction, and eventual rise to prominence.In Anglo-Saxons: A Captivating Guide to the People Who Inhabited Great Britain from the Early Middle Ages to the Norman Conquest of England, you will discover topics such asAnglo-Saxons ArriveEarly Anglo-Saxons: Origins and Pre-Settlement HistoryThe Culture of Anglo-Saxons: Religion, Customs, Social Hierarchy, Early ChristianityEveryday Life of Anglo-Saxon England: Jobs and Division of Labor, Food and Drink, Clothes, Architecture, Travel, Wars, Gender and Age Norms, Art, Written WorksAnglo-Saxon KingdomsAnglo-Saxon LegacyAnd much, much more!So if you want to learn more about the history of the Anglo-Saxons, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Battle of Thermopylae, then keep reading...The Battle of Thermopylae is one of the most famous battles in human history. It featured two of the ancient world’s most prominent cultures, the Achaemenid-led Persian Empire and the fragmented yet culturally advanced Greeks. It also included some of history’s most famous leaders, such as the Persian king Xerxes and the Spartan king and military general Leonidas.This glorification is apt only because the battle was indeed an important moment in the much larger conflict known as the Greco-Persian Wars. However, the Greeks lost this battle. In fact, it was a slaughter. Had it not been for some good fortune as well as an advantage in terms of equipment and fighting techniques, the Battle of Thermopylae could have gone down in history as the beginning of the end for one of the world’s great civilizations.That these soldiers were more willing to die than to surrender to the evil Persians is part of the reason why this battle has become so famous. It serves as a symbol of what people will do to protect their freedom and their homeland. Sure, much of our memory of the Battle of Thermopylae is glorified untruth, but no one can deny that the Greeks and the Persians, in late August or early September of 480 BCE, fought one of the most important battles in one of the most important wars of the ancient era.In The Battle of Thermopylae: A Captivating Guide to One of the Greatest Battles in Ancient History Between the Spartans and Persians, you will discover topics such asLeading up to The Battle of ThermopylaeThe Main Characters of the Battle of ThermopylaeGreece and Persia Prepare for BattleThe Battle of Thermopylae: Seven Days to Last the Test of TimeMeanwhile, at ArtemisiumAfter the Battle of ThermopylaeThe Greek and Persian ArmiesAnd much, much more!So if you want to learn more about the Battle of Thermopylae, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

And this is for good reason. After its founding sometime in the 10th century BCE, Sparta soon rose to be one of the most powerful city-states in not only the Greek but the entire ancient world.Perhaps the most significant achievement in all of Spartan history, though, was their defeat of the Athenians in the Peloponnesian War. This conflict, which lasted roughly 30 years, put the two greatest Greek city-states of the time, Athens and Sparta, up against one another, and the result, a Spartan victory, helped to reshape the entire ancient world. It ushered in a period of Spartan hegemony which was radically different than when the Athenians sat atop the Greek world.Some of the topics covered in part 1 of this book include:Who Were the SpartansThe Growth of Spartan Power: The Messenian WarsA Growing Rivalry with Athens: The Greco-Persian WarsVictory over Athens: The Birth of the Spartan EmpireSpartan Hegemony, the Corinthian War, and Sparta’s DeclineSpartan Government, Military, and SocietyAnd much, much more!Some of the topics covered in part 2 of this book include:On the Eve of WarThe Ionian RevoltDarius I Marches on Greece: The Battle of MarathonThe Interwar Years: Greece and Persia Prepare to Meet AgainThe Invasion of Xerxes Part 1: The Battles of Thermopylae and ArtemisiumThe Invasion of Xerxes Part 2: The Battles of Salamis and PlataeaThe Delian League WarsThe Aftermath of the WarThe Greek MilitaryThe Persian MilitaryAnd much, much more!Some of the topics covered in part 3 of this book include:Leading up to The Battle of ThermopylaeThe Main Characters of the Battle of ThermopylaeGreece and Persia Prepare for BattleThe Battle of Thermopylae: Seven Days to Last the Test of TimeMeanwhile, at ArtemisiumAfter the Battle of ThermopylaeThe Greek and Persian ArmiesAnd much, much more!Some of the topics covered in part 4 of this book include:Understanding PeloponneseThe Peloponnesian and Delian LeaguesRising Tensions Between Athens and Sparta: The First Peloponnesian War to the Thirty Years’ PeaceThe Archidamian War to the Peace of NiciasThe Attack of Syracuse Brings More WarThe Ionian War and the Fall of AthensFighting in an Ancient Greek ArmyThe War’s Impact on Greek CulturePhilosophy During War: SocratesAnd much, much more!So if you want to learn more about the history of Sparta, click the "add to cart" button!

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Etruscans, then keep reading...The importance of the Etruscans can be traced back to Rome. The Roman Republic, and later the Roman Empire, was an unusual conqueror because it would absorb and assimilate elements of the cultures it dominated. A standing practice was to allow the defeated to continue practicing their culture and religion so long as they paid their taxes on time. Such a procedure was part of why Christianity would seep into the Roman Empire around the 1st century CE, for example. For the Etruscans, this meant they influenced aspects of Roman civilization, one of the most powerful cultures in the history of the Western world.The word “Rome” is Etruscan in origin as are the names of its mythological founders “Remus” and “Romulus.” Several of the Roman creation myths centered on branches of the Etruscans breaking off to found Rome, and Rome itself used to be a part of Etruscan civilization before it broke away and started to develop its own society. When the Etruscans were absorbed, elements of their culture, language, and religion would seep into Roman practice. Before their assimilation, the Etruscans gifted Rome with much of its political science and technology. Through the Etruscans, the Romans developed monarchy, walls, drainage systems, and the powerful forum.The Etruscans shouldn’t only be studied as the influencer of Rome, but it is the connection through which most individuals have heard of their illustrious civilization. Other interesting developments of the Etruscans were their flamboyant fashion, complex political structure, urban planning, and fatalistic religion. As the reader of this volume, check and see where the Etruscans sound similar to the Romans but also interpret what made the Etruscans unique, what rings of assimilation of other cultures like the Greeks, and determine whether it was possible for the Etruscans to avoid their fate against the Romans during the 1st century BCE.In The Etruscans: A Captivating Guide to the Etruscan Civilization of Ancient Italy That Preceded the Roman Republic, you will discover topics such asPolitics, Government, and Social StructureHow an Individual LivedThe Origin of the EtruscansThe Etruscan Orientation, c. 600-400 BCEThe Roman Conquest, c. 400-20 BCEMythology and ReligionArt and MusicThe Etruscan Language and WritingArchitectureSurviving Text and LiteratureAnd much, much more!So if you want to learn more about the Etruscans, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Scientific Revolution, then keep reading...Two captivating manuscripts in one book: 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 Galileo Galilei: A Captivating Guide to an Italian Astronomer, Physicist, and Engineer and His Impact on the History of ScienceAncient 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.Some of the topics covered in part 1 of this book include: 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!Some of the topics covered in part 2 of this book include: A Stargazer Is Born Galileo Studies with Florentine Monks The University of Pisa Galileo Calculates the Location of Hell Professor at the University of Pisa University of Padua The Catholic Inquisition Kepler's Star Galileo and Johannes Kepler The Starry Messenger Galileo Meets Pope Paul V The Inquisition Visits Again Discourse on the Tides A Meeting with Pope Urban VIII The Assayer Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems Trial and Imprisonment Final Work and Death And much, much more!So if you want to learn more about the Scientific Revolution and Galileo Galilei, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

If you want to discover the captivating life of Galileo Galilei, then keep reading...Galileo Galilei's contributions to modern science were so fundamental to a variety of fields that even though he died almost 400 years ago, his name retains international acclaim. This 17th-century natural philosopher is often credited with the invention of the telescope thanks to his many discoveries using that specific instrument, and though he was not, in fact, its inventor, the myth still persists. Indeed, Galileo was responsible for a series of upgrades to astronomy's brand-new tool during the early part of the 1600s, and it was largely his innovative techniques that changed a somewhat mediocre magnifying glass into a revolutionary device.He was also the first to use his powerful telescope to look at the Moon, planets, and stars and discover just how much there truly was out there beyond the realm of ocean, land, and clouds. His observations of the solar system were the first of their kind, and they helped cement a theory that had been appearing and disappearing from European philosophy for centuries: that the Earth was not the center of the universe.Galileo published his theories regardless of the danger and struggled to deal with the repercussions of doing so. His amazing career was characterized by a tenuous balance between publishing the truth of his discoveries and maintaining good relationships with the people in power. Like so many other great people of that age, Galileo was born not far from Florence, Italy, making him a product of the continent's foremost trendsetter during the Renaissance and Scientific Revolution.In Galileo Galilei: A Captivating Guide to an Italian Astronomer, Physicist, and Engineer and His Impact on the History of Science, you will discover topics such as A Stargazer Is Born Galileo Studies with Florentine Monks The University of Pisa Galileo Calculates the Location of Hell Professor at the University of Pisa University of Padua The Catholic Inquisition Kepler's Star Galileo and Johannes Kepler The Starry Messenger Galileo Meets Pope Paul V The Inquisition Visits Again Discourse on the Tides A Meeting with Pope Urban VIII The Assayer Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems Trial and Imprisonment Final Work and Death And much, much more!So if you want to learn more about Galileo Galilei, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, then keep reading...The Battle of the Little Bighorn, which is also commonly referred to by American historians as Custer's Last Stand, is one of the most iconic events during the Great Sioux War that occurred between 1875 and 1876. The war itself became widespread among other tribes within the surrounding regions of the Black Hills territory of present-day South Dakota after conflicts started between the U.S government and the local Lakota and Cheyenne tribes in 1854, which lasted all the way to 1890.Most textbooks and history buffs often romanticized Custer's Last Stand as a modern-day Battle of Thermopylae, often portraying it as the brave last stand of a seasoned warrior, for over half a century after the battle took place, but later archeological finds tend to suggest otherwise. In fact, there have been so many conflicting statements from both American and Native American participants that most of the details of the event are often unclear even to this day.Most of the confusion that remains are of critical nature, for instance, the exact manner in which the battle took place and the timing of the events. In this book, we aim to separate facts from fiction in regards to one of the most iconic battles during the American Indian Wars and provide the reader with a clear and fact-based interpretation of the events that took place prior to and during the Battle of the Little Bighorn, as well as its ensuing impact on both the Americans and the Native Americans.In The Battle of the Little Bighorn: A Captivating Guide to One of the Most Significant Actions of the Great Sioux War and How Custer's Last Stand Impacted the Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, you will discover topics such as The Great Sioux War George Custer, Sitting Bull, and Crazy Horse The Battle of the Little Bighorn Underlying Factors of Custer's Loss in the Battle of the Little Bighorn And much, much more!So if you want to learn more about the Battle of the Little Bighorn, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button
