Sinopse

In "Noted Speeches of Abraham Lincoln, Including the Lincoln-Douglas Debate," readers are invited to explore the rhetorical mastery and profound moral underpinning of one of America'Äôs most esteemed leaders. This compilation features key speeches that showcase Lincoln's eloquence, marked by his ability to connect deeply with the core values of the nation. Set against the backdrop of a divided America during the 1850s, Lincoln's speeches illuminate the ideological battles surrounding slavery and democracy, highlighting his commitment to unity and equality. The literary style reflects a careful blend of persuasive rhetoric and philosophical contemplation, making these speeches not only historically significant but also timeless in their appeal and relevance. Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, emerged from humble beginnings to become a pivotal figure in American history. His experiences as a lawyer and politician, particularly during the fraught debates with Stephen A. Douglas, informed his understanding of ethical governance and the complexities of national identity. The challenges of his era, not least the moral quandaries posed by slavery, galvanized Lincoln to vocalize a vision for a more equitable nation, which is powerfully articulated in this collection. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in American history, political rhetoric, or the foundational debates of democracy. Lincoln's speeches serve as a testament to the enduring struggle for justice and equality, making this collection not only an essential read for scholars and students but also for all who seek to understand the American conscience.

    Immigrants are people who have moved to new countries in order to settle as permanent residents or naturalized citizens. This valuable resource is primarily for them; especially those having doubts about their potentials and entrepreneurial skills, and applying the advantages in their new locations. 
    Give a man (or a woman) a fish and you feed him for a day;  
    Teach a man (or a woman) to fish and you feed him for a lifetime;  
    What about the man or woman owning a pond or two containing fishes? 
    This book provides exclusive insights into Migrapreneurs (migrants + entrepreneurship), the who, what, why, and how. It will inform, inspire, and challenge readers to courageously exploit the advantages of their diversity in the context of entrepreneurship and business. They can take charge of their destinies by creating robust options while depending less on the already challenged economic and social welfare systems in the new countries. 
    Before you start reading, please prepare your mind for a journey that requires discipline and focus. What this book offers you is a path most immigrants don’t take due to can’t-do mindset, scarcity mentality, fear of the unknown, and lack of appropriate support. Reading this book, and taking prescribed actions, will assuredly provide you with a trigger for getting on the path to greatness.

  • Existential and Philosophical Therapies - Living with Purpose (2 in 1) - cover

    Existential and Philosophical...

    This book contains these two titles: 
    Existential Therapy - Existential therapy is a deeply philosophical approach to psychotherapy, grounded in the belief that life’s greatest challenge is navigating its inherent uncertainties while striving to create meaning. At its core, this approach invites individuals to confront the universal dilemmas of existence: freedom, responsibility, isolation, mortality, and the search for purpose. These existential concerns, though often unsettling, are also the catalysts for personal growth and transformation. 
    Reality Therapy - Reality Therapy is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes personal responsibility and focuses on the present moment, encouraging individuals to make choices that align with their true desires and values. Developed by Dr. William Glasser in the 1960s, it diverges from traditional therapeutic methods by centering on the idea that behavior is a choice and that people can gain control of their lives through conscious decisions. At the core of Reality Therapy is the concept that all behavior is purposeful and is driven by an individual's attempt to fulfill basic needs. These needs include survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun. When people feel that these needs are unmet, they often engage in behaviors that are designed to satisfy them, even if those behaviors are not helpful or productive. Reality Therapy challenges individuals to evaluate whether their current behaviors are effective in meeting these needs and whether they are serving their long-term goals.

    Dead Sea and the Dead Sea...

    If the world had a navel, it would be the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth where one can still stand on dry land. The photographs of this unique lake seem to be taken from a science fiction movie, or a land devastated after a nuclear holocaust. To others, the fluffy shores could remind them of Antarctica although it is in one of the warmest spots on the planet. Its white, creamy masses, scattered along golden beaches, are not ice floes or frozen water, but effervescent salt formations. The famous Jordan River, where the Hebrew people entered the Promised Land and Jesus was baptized, flows into the lake, but the basin is so deeply sunk into the face of the planet that the waters never leave, as if they had fallen into a small black hole where nothing can escape.  
    	The Dead Sea is also an archaeological site loaded with history. Known among the first civilizations in the region as "Sea of Asphalt" and “Salt Sea,” innumerable myths and legends lend it an air of mystery, as if it attracted sterility and misfortune while eradicating all life from its waters. It was perhaps the inhospitable feel of the place, the almost total desolation surrounding it, which led the writer of the Pentateuch to imagine that many years ago, a cataclysm sent to annihilate perverted people had taken place there.  
    	In the mid-20th century, one of the most important religious discoveries of all time was made in a series of caves near the Dead Sea, which had hidden remnants of nearly 1,000 texts, some of which were included in the Hebrew Bible and others which were extra-biblical. In addition to being the oldest surviving copies of such documents, the mixture of languages and different kinds of papers helped shed light on the people in the region at the time, making the Dead Sea Scrolls vitally important to the world’s major religions.

    Like a Drop of Ink in a Downpour is a heartfelt mother-and-daughter memoir about three generations of women and their fight to leave Soviet Russia. A mother is a dissident, a refusenik, and a prisoner in Leningrad (Saint Petersburg) in the 1970s and '80s. Her daughter, eleven years old, is left without a family. A grandmother is in the USA, waiting for her daughter and granddaughter and not knowing if she'll ever see them again. "I am fine," the three of them write to each other in their letters. 
     
     
     
    How can you be "fine" when you have to fight to survive? When you must be silent? When the place that you love turns against you? 
     
     
     
    Told from the dual points of view, this memoir shows the reality of life in the Soviet Union, giving an insider's perspective on the roots of Putin's Russia. It is also a coming-of-age story, heartfelt and funny, a testament to the unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters, and the healing power of art.
