Sinossi

Liberty Then Now explores the evolving state of civil liberties in Europe since the Cold War, questioning if democratic ideals are being subtly undermined. It examines critical areas like increased surveillance, the shifting landscape of freedom of expression amid digital disinformation, and the expansion of state power justified by security threats. The book highlights how these developments challenge the core tenets of a free society, forcing a re-evaluation of the balance between liberty and security.

 
The book argues that despite formal adherence to democratic principles, governance practices in many European nations have gradually diminished individual freedoms, often in the name of security. It revisits the Cold War era's understanding of liberal democracy to contrast it with today's realities, analyzing legal frameworks, policy changes, and technological advancements. A unique aspect of the research involves analyzing previously unexamined datasets on digital surveillance practices across Europe.

 
Structured in three parts, the book introduces core concepts, examines key areas like surveillance and state security measures with detailed case studies, and synthesizes findings to offer recommendations for safeguarding civil liberties. By adopting a nuanced approach, the book avoids simplistic narratives and recognizes the complex forces shaping the future of liberty in Europe. It serves as essential reading for those concerned about democracy's trajectory in the 21st century.

    The only book ever written in the history genre that succinctly tells the progressive and redemptive course of America as revealed in the stories behind the American holidays. 
     
    Ever wonder why everyone wants to immigrate to America? Rediscovering America answers that question, and it’s like no other history you have ever read. More than an account of people, dates, and events, this story is about the hidden  
    hand of a purposeful historical development where the main actors are colorful characters, participating in an American drama of little known but remarkable events where overcoming incredible odds of failure is more unbelievable and  
    engaging than fiction. And while each chapter is a stand-alone tale—some quite wild—about what is behind each of the American holidays, the page- and chapterturning appeal of Rediscovering America is in the narratives that link the holiday  
    stories together, revealing an account of progress and redemption in America covering over four hundred years—never before told in a concise and readable book.

    This bundle has two titles. Here is a preview of both: 
    1 - Deception, as defined by the dictionary, involves intentionally leading someone to believe something that is untrue. This act is deeply ingrained in human nature, allowing anyone to practice it. Deception can engage either the mind or emotions, leveraging our desire for knowledge or information to manipulate us. When deception targets the mind, it often comes in the form of false or distorted information presented as "knowledge." 
    When aimed at the body, deception involves persuading someone to undertake actions that have concealed negative consequences. However, the gravest form of deception affects the human spirit. This form is particularly serious because it can influence one’s ultimate fate, even though many people trivialize spiritual matters due to deceptive beliefs. 
    2 - How do you encourage someone to eagerly make a purchase from you? How can you ensure the sale? 
    The most effective way to gain someone’s trust and motivate them to buy from you or join your team is to "carefully enter the conversation already happening in their mind." By doing so, you help your prospect see the value of your service through the information you provide, leading them to recognize their need for what you offer.

    Gordon Menzies was in the room as bankers, economists and Cabinet members deregulated Australia’s economy. And he was personally shaped by a greater, cultural, deregulation — the sexual revolution. Menzies argues that both changes are part of the same hard-line movement: Western Fundamentalism. As our economies and families are in flux, it’s time to question the assumptions that got us here.  
    Are you prepared to challenge your fundamentals?
