Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -NOTHING IN AMERICAN HISTORY has ever equaled the death and destruction of the intense and bloody warfare of 1861-1865 between Americans. Given the size of the population at the time, that period is unmatched in the scale of military mobilization, in the destruction of property on our own soil, and in the casualties, not only of soldiers but of Southern civilians, black and white.For later generations, such a horror must have the comfort of a moral justification. We fall back on righteousness and romanticism: The war must have been a noble and necessary crusade carried out against evil people who refused to give up their slaves.But is this true Did those men in blue really sacrifice their lives for the freedom and equality of black Americans Did those men in gray give their lives so that some could continue to hold black Americans in slavery Garry Bowers, with twenty years teaching experience in Alabama public schools tackles this great question with information, reason, and courage. Shotwell is proud to publish this work for the use of students and teachers.__________ 'Finally! An author who is not afraid to tell the truth. . . [Slavery and The Civil War] is a must read for every high school and college student in America and for anyone interested in U.S. history.' - Tim Kent, author, historian and editor of Alabama Confederate magazine.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Picture a fence. On one side stand wingless adults with stunted imaginations. On the other are kids of all ages who know that physical barriers can't keep freed minds down. Aeromancy, by Paul Berge, takes sides and flies the reader across a landscape of dreams unlocked during his lifetime or two of flight. Ninety-one short stories present the irrational passion of those who inhabit the small airports where real aviation lives.

On a small airport along California's Monterey Bay, you'll meet a man, a dog, and a woman who flies into their lives to show that the spirit of life is free to anyone who falls in love. Aeromancy takes you to the other side of the airport fence. If you're already there, it's reminder just how lucky we pilots are.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Frank Spragg originally wrote a book titled Face the Music Education-The Great Salem-Keizer School District Music Program, which takes a comprehensive look at how a successful music program functions. Face the Music Education was extensive enough that Spragg's publisher, suggested the last chapter be made into a separate book, Faces of Music, A Salem-Keizer Connection. This has been a good choice because Faces of Music stands well on its own. It features people for whom music has become a career, for others an avocation, and for still others a vital impact on their lives. This panoply of experience adds to the argument that music education should continue to be an indelible component in our public schools.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Jerusalem circa 970 BC is on the verge of catastrophe. The king is dying, who is to succeed him In order to stave off disaster he moves decisively and elevates the promising young Solomon. Guided by the steady, if not cranky, hand of his trusted advisor and spymaster, Mehuman, Solomon sets about building on his father's legacy. Early in his reign there are glimpses of his brilliance. A brilliance that is tested time and time again, forging the quintessential philosopher king. Solomon is a scribe in his father David's kingdom in Jerusalem. One of many princes, he holds no aspirations to his ailing father's throne. This all changes when his brother, Adonijah, allows himself to be inveigled by the wily commander, Joab. In order to stave off likely unrest David moves decisively and with a bit of prodding from Bathsheba elevates the young Solomon to the highest office in the land.Guided by the steady, if not cranky, hand of his trusted advisor and spymaster, Mehuman, Solomon sets about building on his father's legacy. Early in his reign there are glimpses of his brilliance. A brilliance that does not go unnoticed and he's soon summoned to Tanis in Egypt by the pharaoh Siamun who rules over a divided kingdom. An alliance is formed, cemented by Solomon's marriage to the pharaoh's daughter, Itawy. Solomon wastes no time in forming another, more fruitful, alliance with Hiram the convivial Phoenician king of Tyre who embraces him as a brother and the two grow to treasure the mutually beneficial partnership. So much so that Hiram dispatches his favoured master mason Hiram Abi to Jerusalem to aid Solomon in the construction of his temple and various magnificent projects.When Ezron, a brutal Aramean warlord seizes Damascus and proceeds to wage war across the region Solomon finds himself playing the role of mediator for the kings of the Levant. His deft handling of the crisis earns him the epithet 'The Axis of The Levant' and his stature as a wise and just ruler grows immensely. Solomon's alliance with King Hiram proves testing at times with one adventure seeing him venturing to Utica where he's met with a formidable adherent of an ancient order. He manages to gain the upper hand against this fearsome warrior but no sooner than he returns home he's faced with another crisis in the form of the death of his father-in-law, Pharaoh Siamun which causes alarm that his alliance with Egypt may be in jeopardy. These fears are soon allayed once he gets to know the new pharaoh, Psusennes.Despite Solomon's wealth, prosperity and acclaim his life is haunted by tragedy and the death of his first-born son, Mordecai sees him spiral into a morose depression from which he never properly recovers. Pharaoh Psusennes's reign is an uneventful one and when he dies a powerful Meshwesh commander, Sheshonk ascends the throne bringing about a new dynasty. Solomon finds his mettle is thoroughly tested, culminating in an assassination attempt. What follows is a tense standoff between his nascent kingdom and the long-established Egyptian empire. Over time Solomon becomes increasingly withdrawn until towards the end of his reign when Menelik, a son he knew never existed arrives in Jerusalem. Not only does the charismatic Menelik restore his jaded father's hopes, the king's subjects are soon enamoured with him and implore him to stay. Unfortunately, Menelik chooses to return to his home in Axum and their hopes are dashed. The sorrow is too much for the ailing Solomon and he dies within weeks of Menelik's departure.…
