Summary

Damascus, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, is the central focus of Damascus History. This book explores the city's remarkable journey through millennia, revealing its pivotal role in trade, cultural exchange, and the rise and fall of empires. Intriguingly, Damascus's strategic geographic location made it a coveted prize, attracting powers from the Arameans to Islamic caliphates. Furthermore, its location fostered its emergence as a vital hub connecting East and West, driving economic prosperity and cultural exchange. Damascus History presents a comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination of the city.

 
The book draws upon archaeological evidence, historical texts, and scholarly research to illuminate Damascus's story. Organized into three major sections, the book begins with the city's ancient origins, explores its golden age under Islamic rule, and examines the challenges it faced in the modern era, including periods of Ottoman rule, French mandate, and contemporary conflicts.

 
The final chapter offers insights into the lessons that Damascus's history can teach us about urban resilience, cultural preservation, and the interconnectedness of human civilization.

    Carol Schultz Vento recounts the post-World War II years of her famous father "Dutch" Schultz. 
"Carol Schultz Vento's testimonial and others like it do not diminish the wartime generation's accomplishments but suggest that the price they paid was far higher, the toll extracted from them and their families far greater, and their struggles far more protracted than the glossy tributes to the 'Greatest Generation' would have us believe. It in is the end a cautionary tale, reminding us that if as a last resort we send soldiers into harm's way, we should be under no illusions about war's colossal human costs, remembering that even in the most brilliant triumphs there is heartbreak and that the suffering does not stop when the shooting does." --- Thomas Childers 
Daughters, fathers and war - three words seldom used together. 
In "The Hidden Legacy of World War II: A Daughter's Journey", Carol Schultz Vento weaves life with her paratrooper father into the larger narrative of World War II and the homecoming of the Greatest Generation. The book describes the seldom told story of how the war trauma of World War II impacted one family. This personal story is combined with the author's thorough research and investigation of the reality for those World War II veterans who could not forget the horrors of war. This nonfiction work fills in the missing pieces of the commonly accepted societal view of World War II veterans as stoic and unwavering, a true but incomplete portrait of that generation of warrior. About the author: Carol Schultz Vento is a former Political Science professor and attorney. She is a graduate of Temple University and Rutgers University School of Law. She is the daughter of 82nd Airborne World War II veteran Arthur "Dutch" Schultz. Carol is a native of Philadelphia and lives in Palmyra, New Jersey.

    Here we are! You have managed to get a job interview by dint of sending CVs like an automatic machine gun! 
The time has come! After so much wandering, a company has decided to see you first-hand! 
All the hours spent filing your resume beyond belief, every evening spent behind the PC sifting through job offers, have finally served a purpose! 
But now? 
What to do? 
At school, at university, no one taught you how to approach a job interview. 
Panic: what answer and how to answer to the questions, talk little or a lot, dress elegant or sober, remain motionless or move with the body, shake hands or not, browse the company's website or get to the interview in a naive way, in order to be yourself? 
If we would like to give an answer to all the mental blowjobs that will turn in your head, we just have to say that the truth is simple, damn simple. 
But, as usual, when something is too simple, we don't consider it a viable option! 
I'll tell you the secret right away! 
To successfully pass a job interview, you need study, method and experience: 
- study, because we need to examine our potential employer thoroughly, understand what he is looking for and what he expects from us 
- method, because without a plan you can't go anywhere. Don't improvise. Train like a boxer. You are on the ring, and that employment contract must be yours! 
- experience, because the first few times you will miss it. You will be discarded. Not because you're not good for that job, but because you still won't have the experience of a commander who has won 100 battles. It is normal, do not be discouraged. The sooner you understand where you went wrong in the first few battles, the sooner you will start winning! 
Are you there so far? 
Well, you are ready to listen to the audiobook!

    Drawing on examples from around the world—from Uganda, Nigeria and South Africa to Saudi Arabia, the Americas and Europe—Gqola traces the construction and machinations of the female fear factory by exposing its lies, myths and seductions. She shows how seemingly disparate effects  
like driving bans, higher education rape, sexual harassment and femicide are all premised on the construction of people, mostly women, as female, and thereafter the use of fear as a tool of patriarchal subjugation and punishment. 
 
Female Fear Factory is a sobering account of patriarchal violence in the world, and a hopeful vision for the work of unapologetic feminist imaginative strategies across the globe.
