Story
When James Hiers decides to teach his students about the Trans-Atlantic African slave trade, he knows it will be a controversial topic using his methods. Still, he is determined to give his students an accurate picture of this dark chapter in history. Hiers’ approach is met with resistance from some parents and community members, who believe that his approach is too radical. Undeterred, he thinks it is essential for students to understand the full impact of the slave trade, including its origins, and he is determined to give them the tools they need to think critically about this issue.

Com 23 anos, a infanta Catarina de Bragança, filha de D. Luísa de Gusmão e de D. João IV, deixou para trás tudo o que lhe era querido e próximo para navegar rumo a uma vida nova. No coração, um misto de tristeza e alegria. Saudades da sua Lisboa, de Vila Viçosa, do cheiro a laranjas, dos seus irmãos que já haviam partido deste mundo e dos que ficavam em Portugal a lutar pelo poder. Mas os seus olhos escuros deixavam perceber o entusiasmo pelo casamento com o homem dos seus sonhos, Charles de Inglaterra, um príncipe encantado que Catarina amava perdidamente ainda antes de o conhecer.

These 12 audiobooks, perfect for the longer nights, colder weather and the Halloween season, tell the stories of women through history, from goddesses to regular women, through a mix of horror, fantasy and historical fiction.
