  A Realistic Path to Peace - From...

  This book delves into genocide in Palestine, and the war crisis in eastern Europe, West Asia and East Asia. It examines the role of the Big Lie in blunting popular opposition, and describes ways countries around the world and the general public are pressing for peace.  
  The world is in a crisis now. As its empire declines toward collapse, the United States leadership is making a series of disastrous errors. The “neocons” in Washington, DC, are determined to maintain U.S. global domination regardless of what it might take. The stakes are high for them. They seem to believe that if they “allow” any other 
  country to challenge their global leadership, their whole system could fall apart. 
  So they are prepared to do whatever it takes. Supporting genocide in Israel—by providing weapons, money, and a bizarre “moral justification” for horrific genocidal bombing—is a sign of what it takes. Blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline was another sign of what it can take. 
  Western European leaders have been rounded up and bludgeoned into a unified NATO alliance against Russia, and in support of Israeli genocide against Palestinians. This alliance—originally composed of “north Atlantic” countries under U.S. leadership at the end of World War II—is now also being extended to Asia. It’s a quest to curb China’s historic economic success, which threatens Western domination of global trade. 
  A new peace movement is emerging. It faces enormous obstacles, including a gigantic wave of war hysteria engineered in Washington, magnified exponentially by a captive mainstream media that seems to have abandoned all pretense of critical journalistic independence and objectivity. But as facts emerge and truth surfaces, the movement for peace will intensify. 
  Combined with the horrific results of sanctions and war, these facts and truths can be expected to bring ever greater waves of opposition and resistance into the fray.

  Emmanuel Macron lands for the first time in Africa at the Barkhane base in Gao, Mali, on May 14, 2017. His determination is complete: “Operation Barkhane will only end the day there are no more Islamist terrorists in the region and the full sovereignty of the Sahel states is restored. Not before.” 
  Seven years on, jihadists are on the rise, and the French army has been forced to leave Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Chad may follow… This debacle is not a military one, it’s a political one. With the end of its influence in Africa, France has weakened its army, lost its allies at the United Nations and bid farewell to its singular voice on the international stage.
  Leslie Varenne retraces Emmanuel Macron’s itinerary in Africa since 2017. She recounts a long sequence of lack of strategy, vision, ignorance of African realities, technocratic approaches, mistakes and setbacks that have led to this defeat. To this inventory must be added the problem posed by Emmanuel Macron’s personality and his relations with his peers.

  Welcome to London's marriage season. Six high society women are preparing for the biggest moment of their lives: finding a suitable husband. But their stories aren't what you may have read in historic romances by Julia Quinn or Georgette Heyer. In The Game of Hearts, go behind the drawing-room door with history author Felicity Day and delve into the competitive world of love, scandal, and fortune. With shocking revelations about London's most eligible heiresses and the society they live in, you'll see British history and love stories from a whole new perspective. 
   
   
   
  May the best lady win. For our six privileged debutantes, life wasn't like a Regency romance; they had to work for their happily ever after. Even if it meant competing with dozens of other women who want the same thing. By using the letters, diaries, and other confessions from our heroines, Felicity Day shares how they and many other Regency women combined attraction with practicality to navigate upper-class British society, known as the ton, and its courtship rituals. And with obstacles such as scandals, rakes, and social warfare, you'll discover how love and success may not always win, but perseverance shall. 
   
   
   
  So if you liked historic women biographies like Jane Austen at Home, The Palace Papers, or A Room of Their Own, then you'll love The Game of Hearts.

  Hedonism - The Pursuit and...

  Hedonism, at its core, is the philosophy that pleasure is the highest good and the ultimate goal of human life. Its allure lies in the simplicity of its premise: that the pursuit of pleasure, whether physical, emotional, or intellectual, is essential to living a fulfilling life. This view is not just a modern indulgence but has deep roots in the history of philosophy, tracing back to the ancient Greeks, who were the first to systematically explore the nature of pleasure and its role in human existence. 
  The term “hedonism” derives from the Greek word hēdonē, meaning pleasure, and throughout history, philosophers have debated whether this pursuit is inherently selfish or whether it can contribute to the greater good. The Greek philosopher Aristippus of Cyrene is often credited with being one of the first to advocate for a form of hedonism, suggesting that the ability to master one’s pleasures was the key to happiness. On the other hand, Epicurus, another Greek philosopher, argued that the pursuit of simple pleasures, rather than indulgence in excess, leads to the greatest happiness. These foundational ideas have sparked ongoing discussions about the nature of pleasure and how it fits into the human quest for meaning. 
  In the centuries that followed, hedonism evolved in different directions. During the Enlightenment, thinkers like Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill reinterpreted hedonism through the lens of utilitarianism, positing that the greatest happiness of the greatest number should be the guiding principle of ethical decision-making. Today, hedonism is often understood not only as a personal pursuit of pleasure but also as a cultural phenomenon that shapes modern consumerism, self-care movements, and even digital experiences.
