  The secret war in Ukraine

  What forces are operating in the shadows of the war in Ukraine, both inside and outside the theater of operations? What clandestine operations have been going on for the past three years, unknown to the general public? How does the secret war between Russia and Western countries often spill over into terrorism? What assassinations have been carried out against oligarchs across Europe? How are Western intelligence services, particularly British, helping the Ukrainians? What is the presence of Ukrainian services in Russia? What has become of the American biological laboratories since 1922?...
  To answer these questions and many others, Jacques Baud draws on official information, American, Western, Ukrainian and Russian documents. Between secret diplomacy and clandestine operations, the war in Ukraine was far more complex than the media portrayed it. 
  Following on from the bestsellers Putin, the Master of the Game, Operation Z and Ukraine Between War and Peace and The Art of Russian War, whose analytical work has been acclaimed worldwide and whose books have been translated in many countries (USA, China, Japan, Korea, Great Britain, Germany -bestseller-, Russia, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Turkey, Brazil and the Arab countries), the author returns to the clandestine war that has been waged between Russia, Ukraine and Western countries for the past three years.

  This WWII history chronicles the exploits of an elite German spy unit and offers a rare look into the secret operations of Hitler's military. Directed by the German Army’s intelligence service, the Brandenburgers became legendary for their brutally efficient clandestine operations. Trained to be quick, mobile, and self-reliant and steeped in local customs and languages, they operated behind enemy lines around the world. Across the battlefronts of the Second World War—from Western Europe to Romania, Russia, Egypt, Afghanistan, and beyond—they seized bridges and other strategic targets; engaged in sabotage, espionage, and other daring missions; and often disregarding the rules of war in the process. Although the unit was dissolved in 1944, its tactics influenced special forces around the world both during the war and after.

  Just over half a century since Neil Armstrong first stepped foot on the lunar surface, a new space race to the Moon is well underway and rapidly gaining momentum. Laying out a vision for the next fifty years, Back to the Moon is astrophysicist Joseph Silk's persuasive and impassioned case for putting scientific discovery at the forefront of lunar exploration. 
   
   
   
  The Moon offers opportunities beyond our wildest imaginings, and plans to return are rapidly gaining momentum around the world. NASA aims to build a habitable orbiting space station to coordinate lunar development and exploration, while European and Chinese space agencies are planning lunar villages and the mining of precious resources dwindling here on Earth. Powerful international and commercial interests are driving the race to revisit the Moon, but lunar infrastructures could also open breathtaking vistas onto the cosmos. Silk describes how the colonization of the Moon could usher in a thrilling new age of scientific exploration, and lays out what the next fifty years of lunar science might look like. With lunar telescopes of unprecedented size situated in permanently dark polar craters and on the far side of the Moon, we could finally be poised to answer some of the most profound questions confronting humankind, including whether we are alone in the Universe and what our cosmic origins are.

  The author of The Circle of Simplicity “joyfully invites us to discover a robust and real personal expansion with each other as we remake our society” (Mark Lakeman, cofounder, The City Repair Project). 
   
  Every man for himself! For too long we have lived in a competitive, consumer-oriented culture, destroying the well-being of people and the planet. We believe that money brings happiness, yet all too often, the opposite is true. The pursuit of wealth at any cost corrupts our values and diminishes our lives. The resulting inequality breaks down social cohesion and generates envy, bitterness, and resentment. Greed breeds more greed. 
   
  Living Room Revolution refutes the notion that selfishness is at the root of human nature. Research shows that people—given the right circumstances—can be caring, nurturing and collaborative. Presented with the opportunity, they gravitate toward actions and policies embodying empathy, fairness, and trust instead of competition, fear, and greed. The regeneration of social ties and the sense of caring and purpose that comes from creating community drive this essential transformation. 
   
  At the heart of this movement is the ancient art of conversation. Living Room Revolution provides a practical toolkit of concrete strategies to facilitate personal and social change by bringing people together in community and conversation. 
   
  The heart of happiness is joining with others in good talk and laughter. Each person can make a difference, and it can all start in your own living room! 
   
  “Small groups. Study circles. Stop ’n chats. House parties. Movie nights. Online sharing. Bring people together, and you never know what kind of fuse you’ll ignite for change.” —Wanda Urbanska, author of The Heart of Simple Living

  How to Be Forgiving

  [How to Be Forgiving] delves into the intricate landscape of human emotion with unflinching honesty and profound insight, examining the peculiar way we hold onto hurts like rain-soaked clothes, heavy and familiar against our skin. Through intimate prose that reads like a confession shared between friends, this meditation on forgiveness illuminates the small, daily acts of letting go that shape our capacity for healing. The book's revolutionary perspective challenges conventional wisdom, arguing that forgiveness isn't a destination but rather a continuous practice, like breathing – something we need to do consciously at first, then naturally, until it becomes part of who we are. With its lyrical exploration of the stories we tell ourselves and the weight of unspoken words, this guide transforms our understanding of what it means to forgive, revealing how the journey toward release becomes an act of self-liberation rather than a gift bestowed upon others.
