The Collision of History: 1493

R

346K0

"The Collision of History: 1493" is a classic work that uses an alternative ecological perspective to interpret globalization and world history over the past 500 years. The author has visited various continents in Asia, Europe and the United States, citing the research results of ecologists, anthropologists, archaeologists and historians. He continues to challenge Eurocentrism and focuses on how the ecological collision between Europe and the Americas has substantially changed one aspect of human history. It answers our confusion about the destiny of mankind and the globalization of social development, and fundamentally explains the roots of the industrial revolution, malaria, and political disputes (immigration, trade policy, and culture wars). "The Collision of History: 1493" is both historical and inspiring, breaking the stereotypes of globalization in historical research and teaching. In current history textbooks, there are only a few sentences describing the event of Columbus landing on the American continent, and even less introduction to the history of the American continent. In Charles Mann's writing, Columbus landed on the American continent in 1492, which can be called the source of current globalization problems. It was one of the important events after the extinction of the dinosaurs. The "Columbian Exchange" brought about chaotic exchanges and collisions between the mysterious American continent and other independent continents - American independence and malarial mosquitoes, British Industrial Revolution and Amazon rubber, American silver and the intensification of the demise of the Ming Dynasty... Various seemingly unrelated events contain close connections. It was these events that accelerated the formation of the modern world. Teenagers will discover new perspectives on world history, and adult readers will also rethink the reasons for the stalemate of globalization.

Ahab, the captain of the whaling ship "Pequod", had one of his legs bitten off by the ferocious and clever white whale Moby-Dick during a whaling process. Therefore, he was full of revenge and wanted to hunt down the white whale. He even lost his rationality and became a dictatorial fanatic. His ship traveled almost all over the world, and after many twists and turns, he finally encountered Moby Dick. After three days of tracking, he hit the white whale with a harpoon, but the ship was hit by the white whale. Ahab was entangled in the rope on the harpoon and was taken into the sea. All the people on the ship fell into the sea, and only the sailor Ishmael (a name in the Bible, meaning an abandoned person) was saved and came to tell the story to people. The author gave Moby-Dick the color white to symbolize innocence and terror, and the white whale to symbolize the mixture of good and evil, which is also the basic condition of the human world. This novel has become a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation due to its rich ideological content, epic scale and mature and thoughtful writing style.

Superstructure: the Key to Unlocking the Power of Story

R

53K0

In this book, renowned American writing coach James Scott Bell reveals the secrets to making novels and screenplays more powerful and irresistible. A basic principle of writing is that the appeal of a story is directly proportional to the reader's reading experience, and the reader's reading experience is directly proportional to the rationality of the structure. A story without structure is like a skin without a skeleton. Only through a reasonable structure can the power of the story be released. Superstructure works for any kind of writer-whether it's someone who likes to outline before they start writing, or someone who just lets their imagination run wild based on intuition. According to the author, writing a novel is like driving in the dark with headlights on. The furthest you can see is only the light on the highway. However, as long as you always know what the next sign is, you will not get lost or drive towards a cliff. "Superstructure" provides us with 14 very effective story signposts, which are: Haunting, Care Package, Argument Against Switching, Making Trouble, Door of No Return No. 1, Kick in the Shoe, Mirror Moment, Pet the Puppy, Door of No Return No. 2, Growing Power, Lights Out, Q Element, Final Battle, and Switching. For each signpost, this book explains it in an independent chapter, and also attaches a short section "Useful suggestions for plot writers and intuitive writers" to show you how to put what you have just learned into practice and make corresponding adjustments according to your own writing style to write a story that is unique to you.

Starting from the Hoover administration's adherence to the old economic system and its clumsy way of handling the new economic situation, which caused the United States to slide into a more terrifying abyss in a nightmare crisis, the author places the emergence of "Roosevelt's New Deal" in the debates and confrontations between various forces, which further demonstrates its inevitability. It can also glimpse some details of American democracy from the side, as well as the change in the mentality of American society in the face of major crises.

Introduction: Ordinary Wu Wanjiao accidentally drowned in the beach while traveling and traveled through time! Wu Wanjiao, a commoner, only knew the four words "powerful family and noble Wei" from books and TV. She didn't want to experience it so not far but not close after time travel. You ask what "not far or not close" means. Let's put it this way. Grandpa's grandfather was called the emperor. You said it was close or not, but now the grandson's grandson can only be a side branch of the fifth server. As for the "powerful family", it can't even get close to the corners. It is already thousands of miles away from the center of power. You can say it is far or not. Look again, what's the point of having a naughty father and a weak mother beside you? But the naughty father cares about food, clothing, and the house. Although the weak mother has no independent opinions, she still loves her son and daughter. As a descendant of the royal family, Wu Wanjiao feels that as long as she is content and happy, her life will be pretty good. But things didn't go as planned. Wu Wanjiao, who was about to have hair extensions, was "sacrificed" by her clan and family. Wu Wanjiao from Pingyong sighed, "God, I'm just a bit prettier, but how can a royal product be a coward? I'm just a bit fairer, but isn't this inherited from my mother? Otherwise, how could my handsome father marry such a weak concubine?" The helpless Wu Wanjiao decided to get married because she didn't want to hang around there. It's the far north. If others can live there, I can live there too. Hey! King of the North, give me 10 hectares of land and let me fend for myself. This is great. Wu Wanjiao covered her mouth and secretly laughed. What? It's a barren land. Wu Wanjiao was so angry that her chest and brain hurt. She yelled, "Isn't it just salt-alkali land? It's trivial." Diverting water to flush fields, raising livestock for composting, and planting trees to prevent sandstorms are a bit difficult, but as the old saying goes, "Man can conquer nature." At least I don't have to worry about eating and drinking. Don't be too comfortable nesting in these 10 hectares of land. But whoever asked you to touch the rice and flour in my granary, pick up the kitchen knife and start decisively. God, what is going on? Beauty trap, hum, this trap is of no use to me, why don't we sit down and talk, we can talk about it if we have money, what, what's yours is mine, what's mine is yours, if you think beautifully, I'll just shut you down! Read the story of an ordinary girl becoming self-reliant in ancient times.
