The Whigs and the Know Nothings: The History of the Influential Political Parties that Collapsed Bef

"It was in the wake of the election of Andrew Jackson that the Whigs emerged as opponents to the Jacksonian Democrats during a period of American history known as the Second Party System (1828-1854). Initially, the conflict was rooted not only in different visions for the United States – the Whigs believed in a strong central bank and federally funded infrastructure projects (known as “internal improvements”) – but also in opposition to one man: Andrew Jackson. When it first formed, the Democratic Party coalesced around Jackson, and his beliefs and actions became Democratic Party dogma, which left the diverse group of people who opposed Jackson to become the Whigs. The problem with this arrangement is that while the Whigs scored some notable successes as an opposition party, they found governing more difficult. The two Whigs elected president, William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor, died in office, raising to the presidency their respective vice-presidents, John Tyler and Millard Fillmore. Neither man succeeded in uniting the Whig Party behind him (a gargantuan task, to be sure), and neither was ever elected president in his own right. The increasing rancor over slavery is what finally killed the Whig Party.  In the wake of contemporary debates over immigration, the “Know-Nothings” have been regularly cited as an example of how dangerous nativist attitudes can become and, indeed, have proven to be in America’s history. Several columnists, for instance, have striven to make comparisons between the Know-Nothings of antebellum America and the country’s recent immigration policies, helping in part to generate modern interest in a political party that many Americans have heard of but tend to know little about. The Know-Nothing movement can actually be tied to a number of violent episodes and ethnically charged riots that occurred during the late 1850s."

HOMER: The Iliad & the Odyssey

"Nearly three thousand years after they were composed, The Iliad and The Odyssey remain two of the most celebrated and widely read stories ever told, yet next to nothing is known about their author. He was certainly an accomplished Greek bard, and he probably lived in the late eighth and early seventh centuries BCE Authorship is traditionally ascribed to a blind poet named Homer, and it is under this name that the works are still published. Greeks of the third and second centuries BCE, however, already questioned whether Homer existed and whether the two epics were even written by a single individual. Most modern scholars believe that even if a single person wrote the epics, his work owed a tremendous debt to a long tradition of unwritten, oral poetry. Stories of a glorious expedition to the East and of its leaders’ fateful journeys home had been circulating in Greece for hundreds of years before The Iliad and The Odyssey were composed. Casual storytellers and semiprofessional minstrels passed these stories down through generations, with each artist developing and polishing the story as he told it. According to this theory, one poet, multiple poets working in collaboration, or perhaps even a series of poets handing down their work in succession finally turned these stories into written works, again with each adding his own touch and expanding or contracting certain episodes in the overall narrative to fit his taste."

[German] - Sabotage und psychologische Kriegsführung. Ein kleines Handbuch 'Simple Sabotage Field Ma

"Das Office of Strategic Services (OSS) war ein Nachrichtendienst der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika während des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Das Simple Sabotage Field Manual wurde 1944 vom Office of Strategic Services (OSS), einem Vorläufer der CIA, als geheimer Leitfaden für Zivilisten in feindlichen Gebieten während des Zweiten Weltkriegs erstellt. Das OSS wurde als Unterabteilung des Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) gegründet, um die Spionageaktivitäten hinter den feindlichen Linien für alle Teilstreitkräfte der Vereinigten Staaten zu koordinieren. Da der Ausgang des Krieges im Jahre 1944 alles andere als gewiss war und ein Sieg der Alliierten Streitkräfte überdies durchaus zweifelbehaftet, veröffentlichte das OSS dieses Buch zur Anleitung des Kampfes durch einfache Sabotage zur Verunsicherung des Feindes. Dieses Handbuch enthielt dabei einfache, risikoarme Sabotagetaktiken, mit denen die feindlichen Operationen durch alltägliche Handlungen gestört werden sollten. Im Gegensatz zu komplexen oder gewaltsamen Sabotagemethoden beruhten diese Anleitungen darauf, dass Zivilisten geringfügige Ineffizienzen und Verwirrung stifteten, so dass die Produktivität insgesamt beeinträchtigt wurde. Die Genialität des Handbuchs lag in seiner Einfachheit - jeder Zivilist konnte diese Taktiken ausführen, ohne besondere Ausrüstung zu benötigen oder viel Verdacht zu erregen. Das im späten 20. Jahrhundert deklassierte Handbuch ist heute öffentlich zugänglich und wird häufig als interessantes Beispiel für psychologische Kriegsführung und Widerstandstaktiken untersucht. Es bietet auch Einblicke in die Strategien der unkonventionellen Kriegsführung, die von den Alliierten im Zweiten Weltkrieg eingesetzt wurden."

"The bestselling, critically acclaimed new women’s history book from Philippa Gregory for 2025 – adapted for teen and YA readers! Today, when we think of women of the past, we often think of the 1800s and 1900s – crinolines and stage coaches, bonnets and balls – a time when women were told they were naturally inferior to men, and must stay at home while men went out to work and have fun. HUGE MISTAKE! There is so much more to women’s history than bonnets and big dresses! Ordinary women have been doing extraordinary things FOR EVER – it just didn’t make the history books (written by men!).

[Italian] - Profumo d'Incenso: Il Tempo di Iside

"'Immagina di addormentarti e risvegliarti nel corpo di un dio egizio, in questo caso Iside, avendo però memoria di entrambe, sia della tua vita che di quella del corpo che stai possedendo. A un certo punto anche lo stesso lettore entra in confusione: chi è davvero Marta? Chi è davvero Iside? Esistono entrambe o solo una di loro? E' come il collasso del teletrasporto dell'anima.' - La libreria della ninfa “Chi sono io: Marta o la dea Iside?” Il libro d'esordio di Valentina Bellettini nel 2007, inserito nel programma di una scuola media inferiore, rinasce oggi revisionato, integrato e ampliato per un viaggio ancor più profondo nell'interiorità e nella spiritualità attraverso il mito. Marta Franchini non sa cosa fare da grande. Società, famiglia e studi pretendendo che a tredici anni si sappia scegliere l'indirizzo superiore che porterà alla formazione professionale; lei vaga ancora nelle fantasticherie, nella meraviglia delle piccole cose e nei sogni, finché, uno di questi, diventa una realtà parallela: dal momento in cui la sorella è partita in vacanza per l'Egitto, Marta si trasferisce nell'Antico Egitto nei panni della dea Iside dove, assieme all'aspetto e alla lingua, le riaffiorano i ricordi e l'amore per il marito, il dio Osiride. Ma Osiride è morto, assassinato dal fratello Seth. Iside deve salvare lo spirito del marito al quale è stato promesso di regnare l'Oltretomba, mentre il trono d'Egitto è usurpato da Seth e le terre chiedono vendetta e liberazione. La missione di Iside avanza in ogni sogno mentre la quotidianità di Marta subisce il fascino del mondo antico e delle emozioni scatenate dai legami con le divinità: qual è la vera realtà? Chi è lei veramente, Marta o Iside?"

Between the Pines: A Testament from Sobibor Death Camp, 1942-1943 and Survival Beyond

"'Between the Pines: A Testament from Sobibor Death Camp, 1942-1943 and Survival Beyond' is a meticulously researched historical novel that balances documented fact with compelling narrative. Through the eyes of Jakub Rosenzweig, author Michael Green illuminates life inside Sobibor death camp while remaining faithful to historical truth. The story begins in April 1942, as Jakub is transported to Sobibor. Selected for work detail while his family perishes, he witnesses the systematic murder of thousands. The camp's layout, personnel, and killing processes are depicted with documentary precision based on survivor testimonies and trial records. At the heart of the narrative is Jakub's relationship with Eva Weiss, a young woman from Bratislava. Their cautious romance represents the preservation of humanity amid systematic dehumanisation. Eva's detailed documentation later helps bring perpetrators to justice. The story builds towards the famous Sobibor uprising of October 14, 1943, led by Soviet POW Alexander Pechersky. Green reconstructs the only successful mass escape from a Nazi death camp with military precision, showing how Jewish prisoners managed to overcome seemingly impossible odds. The narrative continues through Jakub and Eva's time as partisan fighters, their journey to Palestine, and their role in building Israel. Through their eyes, we witness the Eichmann trial, the Six-Day War, the Yom Kippur War, and the Entebbe rescue operation. What distinguishes this book is its unwavering commitment to historical accuracy while making that truth emotionally accessible. Green draws on survivor testimonies, trial documents, and archaeological evidence to ensure authenticity. The fictional characters serve as witnesses to real events, their experiences drawn from actual survivor accounts."
