ebooks The Global Mind and the Rise of Civilization: A Novel Theory of Our Origins (Paradigm Shift Trilogy) by Carl Johan Calleman Ph.D. in History

Description

In 1856; Washington was born into a family of slaves in Virginia. From there it seemed that his fate had been sealed—to live out his life as a worker in Virginia. But; this was not the case for Washington; whose impoverished childhood and undying desire for education fueled him into a dedicated obsession with the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute until he found himself enrolled at the school itself. As an educated man; Booker T. Washington rose to power with his views on civil rights. Washington’s belief in education as well as trade skills for African Americans brought followers; and opposition; from all around. In Up from Slavery; all of Washington’s trials and tribulations are laid out on the page; with nothing left unsaid. Booker T. Washington wrote Up from Slavery over the course of many years in post-Civil War America. It not only contains articles originally published in Outlook magazine; but autobiographical anecdotes as well; which were written throughout Washington’s travels in the south. Skyhorse Publishing; along with our Arcade; Good Books; Sports Publishing; and Yucca imprints; is proud to publish a broad range of biographies; autobiographies; and memoirs. Our list includes biographies on well-known historical figures like Benjamin Franklin; Nelson Mandela; and Alexander Graham Bell; as well as villains from history; such as Heinrich Himmler; John Wayne Gacy; and O. J. Simpson. We have also published survivor stories of World War II; memoirs about overcoming adversity; first-hand tales of adventure; and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller; we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
