History:Roman History Books I-III
History
Though nobody doubted that a war was impending from the Tarquins, yet it broke out later than was generally expected; however, liberty was well-nigh lost by fraud and treachery, a thing they never apprehended. There were among the Roman youth several young men--and these of no no rank--who, while the regal government lasted, had enjoyed greater license in their pleasures, being the equals in age, boon companions of the young Tarquins, and accustomed to live after the fashion of princes.

History:The First Frontier: The Forgotten History of Struggle, Savagery, and Endurance in Early America
History
Frontier: the word carries the inevitable scent of the West. But before Custer or Lewis and Clark, before the first Conestoga wagons rumbled across the Plains, it was the East that marked the frontier—the boundary between complex Native cultures and the first colonizing Europeans.
Here is the older, wilder, darker history of a time when the land between the Atlantic and the Appalachians was contested ground—when radically different societies adopted and adapted the ways of the other, while struggling for control of what all considered to be their land.
The First Frontier traces two and a half centuries of history through poignant, mostly unheralded personal stories—like that of a Harvard-educated Indian caught up in seventeenth-century civil warfare, a mixed-blood interpreter trying to straddle his white and Native heritage, and a Puritan woman wielding a scalping knife whose bloody deeds still resonate uneasily today. It is the first book in years to paint a sweeping picture of the Eastern frontier, combining vivid storytelling with the latest research to bring to life modern America’s tumultuous, uncertain beginnings.

History:Freud, Murder, and Fame: Lessons in Psychology's Fascinating History
History
How did Sigmund Freud first become a household name in America? "Freud, Murder, and Fame" highlights the importance of the 1924 Leopold and Loeb murder trial (“the Crime of the Century”), when testimony from Freudian psychoanalysts captivated the nation. The trial’s front-page media exposure introduced many Americans to Freudian theory, as seemingly everyone became engrossed in the senseless murder of 14-year-old Bobby Franks.
This book offers an evidence-based interpretation of how Freud first achieved widespread fame in America. It also provides “Lessons in Psychology’s Fascinating History” that demonstrate the process of recreating the past, teach how to differentiate historical fiction from historical fact, and stress the importance of critically evaluating historical interpretations. Finally, it counteracts the negative stereotype that history is boring. It should interest general readers, students, scholars, and educators; anyone who is passionate about history, psychology, psychoanalysis, Freud, or the psychological aspects of crime can find it worthwhile.
