Sinopsis

In January 1900, galvanised by the daring of the Boers in taking on imperial Britain, the young Russian officer Yevgeny Avgustus set off for the Transvaal to fight in the Anglo-Boer War. Like most of the foreign volunteers who flocked to the Boer cause, he ended up on the Natal front.
Avgustus and his companions joined the Krugersdorp Commando, and their experiences in the field are portrayed in vivid detail. The central part of this gripping account covers the Battle of the Tugela Heights in February 1900 and the Boers' subsequent
retreat. The immediacy of Avgustus's writing captures his trepidation and excitement as he approaches the battlefield for the first time, as well as his experience of life on commando.
The keen eye of this foreign volunteer brings to life a turning point in South African history. Avgustus is a gifted writer, and his narrative offers both acute observation and thoughtful
introspection.
A gripping portrayal of human frailty and courage in the face of mortal danger, A Russian on Commando highlights both the strange attraction and the absurdities of war.

    This book offers a guided meditation journey to help people recovering from addiction and trauma. The book includes a variety of meditations to help with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. 
    Meditation can be defined as a practice where an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness, body scan or breathing – to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm state. 
    Addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences. It is considered a brain disease because drugs change the brain—they change its structure and how it works. These changes can be long-lasting and can lead to the harmful behaviors seen in people who abuse drugs. 
    Trauma is defined as a deeply distressing or disturbing experience. It can occur when someone experiences an event that threatens their life or safety, or that of someone close to them. Trauma can also occur when someone witnesses or is confronted with events that threaten the physical integrity of others. 
    When it comes to addiction, trauma and recovery, meditation can be a powerful tool. This guided meditation journey can help you to let go of the past, heal your wounds and find inner peace. The first step is to sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths and allow yourself to relax. Once you are relaxed, begin to visualise a safe place. It can be anywhere that makes you feel calm and peaceful. Allow yourself to sink into the peacefulness of this place. Breathe in the tranquil energy and feel it flow through your body. Feel your muscles relax and any tension melting away. Now, imagine that you are surrounded by a white light. This light is filled with love, compassion and healing energy. Allow this light to wash over you, filling you with its positive force.  
    This is an example of how we will help you with your challenges.

    How hedge funds make money by taking it from the rest of us—and how you can join them! 
     
     
     
    Top hedge fund managers make more than Oprah, Rupert Murdoch, and A-Rod combined—but they aren't running news and entertainment empires or playing baseball for the New York Yankees. Aren't you curious about how these hedge fund dudes make so much doing who knows what? You may even wonder if you can get there, too. After all, this is America! 
     
     
     
    This book gives you the answers in a twelve-step guide to accumulating vast riches the way hedge fund managers do—by playing trillion-dollar poker with a marked deck. Through each easy step, you'll learn the sleight of hand and disregard for basic morality you'll need to move from making tens of dollars an hour to millions an hour! Along the way, you'll also question whether these hedge fund moguls make markets work better—as they and their apologists insist—or cause instability, siphon off capital, and destroy value without adding so much as a single widget to the economy.
