Sinossi

Arthur Schopenhauer's monumental work, "The World as Will and Idea," spans three volumes and constitutes a cornerstone of philosophical thought in the 19th century. This text intricately weaves together metaphysical reflections and aesthetic considerations, where Schopenhauer posits that the fundamental essence of reality is driven by an irrational 'will.' With profound implications for existential thought, his writing style is both complex and lyrical, engaging the reader in a deep exploration of human desires and suffering. At the intersection of idealism and pessimism, this work embraces influences from Kantian philosophy while challenging established notions of beauty and meaning, paving the way for later existentialists and psychoanalysts alike. Arthur Schopenhauer, often regarded as a precursor to Freud and Nietzsche, was shaped by his tumultuous life experiences and deep engagement with Eastern philosophies. His critical stance toward optimism and his acute observations of human behavior led him to develop a worldview that emphasized suffering and the futility of blind striving. Schopenhauer's own struggles with isolation and societal rejection enriched his philosophical inquiries, allowing him to articulate a vision of life that resonates with those who grapple with the darker aspects of existence. Readers seeking a profound and challenging philosophical journey will find "The World as Will and Idea" essential. Schopenhauer's insights into the nature of reality and human motivation make this work not only relevant but also transformative. It invites contemplation of the internal conflicts that define our lives, offering a poignant understanding of the will's role in shaping our experiences. This enduring classic is indispensable for anyone aiming to delve into the depths of philosophical inquiry.

    Personal boundaries are the restrictions and norms we set for ourselves within relationships. Healthy boundaries allow people to say "no" to others when necessary. Still, they are also comfortable with closeness and personal connections. This restriction determines what we are ready to accept (or reject) as a suitable and safe method for others to engage with us. We may set personal limits for everyone we contact and specific boundaries for certain individuals at other times. Setting expectations begins with knowing and establishing your boundaries via your words and actions.  
    Setting healthy personal boundaries is necessary for maintaining a positive self-concept or self-image. With this Quick and Easy Guide to Building Better Boundaries, you will learn the effectiveness of your boundaries, identify various boundary types, and identify methods to enhance them.

    The fighting in North Africa during World War II is commonly overlooked, aside from the famous battle at El Alamein that pitted the British under General Bernard Montgomery against the legendary “Desert Fox,” Erwin Rommel. But while the Second Battle of El Alamein would be the pivotal action in North Africa, the conflict in North Africa began all the way back in the summer of 1940 when Italian dictator Benito Mussolini declared Italy’s entrance into the war. 	Dealing with the Italians was one thing, but the British faced an entirely different monster in North Africa when Erwin Rommel, a German general who had gained much fame for his role in the invasions of Poland and France, was sent to North Africa in February 1941. Rommel’s directives from the German headquarters were to maneuver in a way that would allow him to hide the fact that his ultimate goal was the capture of Cairo and the Suez Canal. The ultimate plan was that Rommel would not reveal the Germans’ true intentions in North Africa until after the Germans had made headway in their invasion of the Soviet Union. 
    ith the Axis forces trying to push through Egypt towards the Suez Canal and the British Mandate of Palestine, American forces landed to their west in North Africa, which ultimately compelled Rommel to try to break through before the Allies could build up and overwhelm them with superior numbers. Given that the combined Allied forces under Montgomery already had an advantage in manpower, Montgomery also wanted to be aggressive, and the fighting would start in late October 1942 with an Allied attack.  
    	The ensuing Tunisian Campaign was a complicated, last-ditch, cut-and-thrust effort on the part of the doomed Axis forces. The various Allied forces arriving from the west were heavily bloodied before U.S. and British airborne and commando units began to mop up key ports and landing facilities.  Rommel and his army were clearly staring at defeat.

    China Nexus - Thirty Years In...

    Benedict Rogers, born in London, England, first went to China at age eighteen to teach English for six months in Qingdao, three years after the Tiananmen Square massacre. That opened the door to a thirty-year adventure with China, from teaching English in schools and hospitals to working as a journalist in Hong Kong for the first five years after the handover to travelling to China’s borders with Myanmar/Burma and North Korea to document the plight of refugees escaping from Beijing-backed satellite dictatorships and then campaigning for human rights in China, especially for Uyghurs, Christians and Falun Gong practitioners, human rights defenders, journalists and dissidents, and the people of Hong Kong.
    		 
    This book tells the story of his fight for freedom for the peoples of China and neighbouring countries Myanmar and North Korea and sets out how a global movement for human rights in China is emerging and what the free world should do next. It describes the importance of the “China Nexus” in the author’s journey and geopolitics and its challenges. Pioneering international inquiries into forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience, the genocide of the Uyghurs and global action for Hong Kong, as well as highlighting the Vatican’s silence, the author has been at the heart of advocacy for human rights in China in recent years.
    		 
    In 2017, on the orders of Beijing, he was denied entry to Hong Kong, 20 years after he had moved to the city and began his working life as a journalist and activist. Benedict Rogers co-founded Hong Kong Watch and worked with a variety of other international groups at the forefront of the fight for freedom, including the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance for China (IPAC), the Stop Uyghur Genocide Campaign, the China Democracy Foundation, the Conservative Party Human Rights Commission which he co-founded, and the international human rights organization CSW with which he has worked for over 25 years.
    		 
    This book hits the Chinese Communist Party hard on their lack of Human Rights efficacy, genocide, and despicable and barbaric organ harvesting programs (an estimated $1 billion US a year business).
    		 
    Rogers takes the readers on a journey through some of the leaders and participants in the Human rights activities that China has suppressed since its inception in 1949. He goes on to dispute and lays to rest all of the specious claims by the tyrants in Beijing that all Chinese citizens are equal and are afforded human and civil rights. Currently, the regime is engaged in re-education, cultural assimilation, and multiple genocides, leading to better citizens for China and the world if one believes Chinese officials.
    		 
    China’s ambassador to Canada says reports of genocide and forced labour of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang province are the “lie of the century,” despite international bodies like the United Nations deeming the reports of such activities “numerous and credible.” The author will completely dispel that notion.

    For the past twelve years, the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report has ranked Iceland number one on its list of countries closing the gap in equality between men and women. What is it about Iceland that makes many women's experience there so positive? Why has their society made such meaningful progress in this ongoing battle, from electing the world's first female president to passing legislation specifically designed to help even the playing field at work and at home? And how can we learn from what Icelanders have already discovered about women's powerful place in society and how increased fairness benefits everyone? 
     
     
     
    Eliza Reid, the First Lady of Iceland, examines her adopted homeland's attitude toward women—the deep-seated cultural sense of fairness, the influence of current and historical role models, and, crucially, the areas where Iceland still has room for improvement. Reid's own experience as an immigrant from small-town Canada who never expected to become a first lady is expertly interwoven with interviews with dozens of sprakkar ("extraordinary women") to form the backbone of an illuminating discussion of what it means to move through the world as a woman, and how the rules of society play more of a role in who we view as "equal" than we may understand.
