  Hourly History

  Irish author Bram Stoker is considered one of the masters of Gothic horror, in large part due to his creation of one of modern culture's most enduring villains, Count Dracula. Making a life first in civil service and then in the theater, Stoker drew upon his personal experiences, his deepest fears, and the larger-than-life people in his inner circle to create his timeless masterpiece, cementing his own immortality in the process. 
  It is unlikely that Stoker could have conceived, even in his wildest dreams, what an impact his undying villain would have on the world a century after his death. It served as inspiration time and again for countless adaptations in art, print, on stage, and on screen, dating back to the very beginnings of cinema. Since its initial publication, Dracula has been translated into every major language and studied by hundreds of writers, critics, and historians. In over 120 years, it has never been out of print.

  Survive Grief & Come Back to...

  Two weeks after my son died, I picked up a pencil. Not because I knew it would help. Because I did not know how else to survive. 
  Writing saved my life. And what I learned in the years that followed, as a counsellor, as a grief specialist, as a holistic therapist and spiritual coach, as a bereaved mother who had to find a way back to life, became this book. 
  Survive Grief and Come Back to Life is not written from a safe distance. It is written from inside the wound. It covers the grieving process, the five stages of grief, complicated grief, and how grief affects the body and the spirit as well as the mind. It includes self-help writing exercises because words have power, and practical guidance on coping with overwhelming emotion, navigating grief in your relationship, dealing with loss of sleep, and honouring your loved one while finding your way back to yourself. 
  It also holds the spiritual truth that grief often reveals: that healing goes deeper than the mind, that love does not end when life does, and that there are guides and graces available to those who are ready to receive them. 
  This book is for the woman who is at least a year into her grief and still cannot find solid ground. It is for the bereaved mother who has tried everything else. It is for the survivor of abuse or trauma who is grieving something that has no funeral. It is for anyone who needs proof that it is possible to come back to life. 
  Not because the loss gets smaller. Because you learn to carry it differently. 
  International bestseller in the UK, USA and Australia. Award-winning author. Grief Guru. Survivor.

  Living Together - Inventing...

  Is moral philosophy more foundational than political theory? It is often assumed to be. David Schmidtz argues that the reverse is true: the question of how to live in a community is more fundamental than questions about how to live. This book questions whether we are getting to the foundations of human morality when we ignore contingent features of communities in which political animals live. 
   
   
   
  Schmidtz contends that theorizing about how to live together should take its cue from contemporary moral philosophy's attempts to go beyond formal theory, and ask which principles have a history of demonstrably being organizing principles of actual thriving communities at their best. Ideals emerging from such research should be a distillation of social scientific insight from observable histories of successful community building. What emerges from ongoing testing in the crucible of life experience will be path-dependent in detail even if not in general outline, partly because any way of life is a response to challenges that are themselves contingent, path dependent, and in flux. 
   
   
   
  Building on this view, Schmidtz argues that justice evolved as a device for grounding peace in the mutual recognition that everyone has their own life to live, and everyone has the right and the responsibility to decide for themselves what to want.

  History of Ukraine - The...

  The early history of the territory now known as Ukraine is marked by a series of ancient cultures and civilizations that shaped the region's development before and during the Dark Ages. The area was initially inhabited by the Dacians, a group known for their connections to the wider Thracian culture, alongside various nomadic tribes such as the Cimmerians, Scythians, and Sarmatians. These peoples made significant contributions to the cultural and political landscape of Eastern Europe during the Iron Age. 
  From around 750 BC to 250 BC, the Scythians established a powerful kingdom that extended its influence over much of the Eurasian steppes, including the territories of modern-day Ukraine. The Scythian kingdom is well-known for its unique art, horse-riding culture, and its role as a dominant force in the region. Meanwhile, Greek colonists founded several cities on the northern shores of the Black Sea during the 6th century BC, including Tyras, Olbia, and Hermonassa. These cities became important trading hubs and cultural centers, remaining under Roman and later Byzantine control until the 6th century AD.
