  How the New Deal Built Florida...

  Countering the conventional narrative that Florida's tourism industry suffered during the Great Depression, this book shows that the 1930s were the starting point for much that characterizes modern Florida's tourism. David Nelson argues that state and federal government programs designed to reboot the economy during this decade are crucial to understanding the state today. 
   
   
   
  Nelson examines the impact of three connected initiatives—the federal New Deal, its Civilian Conservation Corps program (CCC), and the CCC's creation of the Florida Park Service. He reveals that the CCC designed state parks to reinforce the popular image of Florida as a tropical, exotic, and safe paradise. The CCC often removed native flora and fauna, introduced exotic species, and created artificial landscapes that were then presented as natural. Nelson discusses how Florida business leaders benefitted from federally funded development and the ways residents and business owners rejected or supported the commercialization and shifting cultural identity of their state. 
   
   
   
  A detailed look at a unique era in which the state government sponsored the tourism industry, helped commodify natural resources, and boosted mythical ideas of the "Real Florida" that endure today, this book makes the case that the creation of the Florida Park Service is the story of modern Florida.

  Many myths have grown up around President Harry S. Truman's decision to use nuclear weapons against Imperial Japan. In destroying these myths, Truman and the Bomb will discomfort both Truman's critics and his supporters, and force historians to reexamine what they think they know about the end of the Pacific War. 
   
   
   
  Using previously unpublished material, D. M. Giangreco busts myths and more. An award-winning historian and expert on Truman, Giangreco is perfectly situated to debunk the many deep-rooted falsehoods about the roles played by American, Soviet, and Japanese leaders during the end of the World War II in the Pacific. Truman and the Bomb, a concise yet comprehensive study of Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb, will prove to be a classic for studying presidential politics and influence on atomic warfare and its military and diplomatic components. 
   
   
   
  Making this book particularly valuable for professors and students as well as for military, diplomatic, and presidential historians and history buffs are extensive primary source materials, including the planned United States naval and air operations in support of the Soviet invasion of Manchuria. These documents support Giangreco's arguments while enabling the listener to enter the mindsets of Truman and his administration as well as the war's key Allied participants.

   Desire  
  The root of all suffering is attachment and desire 
  Buddha 
  Buddha said that “the root of suffering is attachment and desire.” But what does attachment and desire exactly mean? It's basically what we do when we hold on to things in an effort to find happiness and comfort. We don't just cling to things that give us joy, but we also cling to something because we're afraid to let go of them as well.

  Dive into the heart of Rome's most defining era in "The First and Second Triumvirate of Rome" a compelling compilation that brings together two insightful books into one monumental volume. This masterfully crafted narrative by Clifford Alexander takes you on a journey through one of the most turbulent and transformative periods in Roman history, an era that witnessed the drastic shift from the Roman Republic to the might of the Roman Empire. 
  In the first part of this comprehensive work, explore the intricate dynamics of the First Triumvirate. Witness the political genius of Julius Caesar, the wealth and ambition of Marcus Licinius Crassus, and the military prowess of Gnaeus Pompey Magnus as they join forces, only to find their alliance plagued by greed and betrayal. This segment brilliantly captures the end of the Roman Republic, marked by internal strife, power struggles, and the eventual descent into civil war. 
  Transition into the second part, where the aftermath of Caesar's assassination sets the stage for the Second Triumvirate. Here, the narrative delves into the alliance of Gaius Octavius (Augustus), Marc Antony, and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. This section vividly portrays their initial unity against Caesar's assassins, the subsequent division of the Roman world, and the eventual rise of Augustus as the unchallenged ruler of the Roman Empire. 
  "The First and Second Triumvirate of Rome" not only offers a detailed account of political maneuvers, battles, and the personalities that shaped an empire but also provides a deep understanding of the socio-political structures of ancient Rome. It's a compelling read for history enthusiasts, scholars, and anyone fascinated by the intrigues of one of history's most influential civilizations.
