Beschreibung

George Washburn joined the New York Tribune as a rookie reporter soon after the American Civil War broke out in 1861. He was assigned to follow the Union army’s commander, General George McClellan, to assess his ability to prevent the Rebel army under Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson from rampaging in Maryland and occupying the capital, Washington. After scrapes and scraps at the bloody Battle of Antietam, Washburn rides horseback, train and ferry to New York to deliver his account of the action, his assessment of the generals and his analyses of whether the state of the conflict will allow President Lincoln to add freedom for slaves to his war aims. The Civil War created immense thirst for news which was eagerly satisfied by newspaper proprietors already engaged in circulation wars. Larger and faster presses printed millions of papers and illustrated weeklies for millions of literate Americans and their armies on the move. Railroads and their accompanying electric telegraphs spread news – and fake news - across the continent. The Tribune published Washburn’s scoop in a special edition on Saturday 20 September 1862, two and a half days after the battle ended. It was syndicated to 180 papers across the world. That night George Washburn, the Father of War Reporters, celebrated with his fellow correspondents, the self-styled Bohemians, in their favorite watering hole at Pfaff’ Cave under Broadway – in the arms of Ida Godiva, the bareback rider from Vaudeville.

    [How to Be Calm] delves into the subtle art of finding peace in a world that never stops moving. Through intimate prose that reads like a conversation with a close friend, this guide illuminates the spaces between breaths, the moments between thoughts, where true tranquility resides. Unlike conventional self-help books that prescribe rigid routines, this work weaves together practical wisdom with poetic insight, showing how calmness isn't something to achieve but rather a natural state to remember. Drawing from both ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience, it explores how our relationship with silence, solitude, and simplicity shapes our capacity for peace. The book's unique approach lies in its recognition that calmness isn't the absence of chaos but the ability to find stillness within it, teaching readers how to navigate life's complexities with grace and presence. Through chapters that flow like gentle streams of consciousness, readers discover that the path to tranquility isn't about adding more techniques to their lives, but about remembering their innate capacity for peace.

    The Divine Comedy (La Divina Commedia) by Dante Alighieri is one of the greatest works of art known to the world, a "comedy", that became a "divine book" for ancestors. It is an encyclopedia of "moral, natural, philosophical and theological" knowledges, a tremendous synthesis of the feudal catholic ideology and the same tremendous epiphany that spread during the new culture times. A great poetic genius of the author put this comedy above the era and made it a legacy of centuries.It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatory, Paradise.

    Fred Guttenberg, who lost his beloved daughter Jaime in the 2018 Parkland school shooting, and international gun policy consultant Thomas Gabor team up in American Carnage to dismantle some of the most common myths about guns and gun violence. 
     
     
     
    A national disgrace. Over 40,000 die each year as a result of gun violence in America. Gun law reforms could reduce the number of gun deaths per year, but many political challenges stand in the way. A widespread multi-year misinformation campaign and assault on truth by the gun lobby and gun-extremists sows doubt about the dangers posed by pervasive gun ownership and gun carrying, as well as the potential effectiveness of gun laws. 
     
     
     
    Debunking popular gun myths. Countering with strong evidence-based research the many slogans and myths repeated incessantly by spokespersons for the gun lobby and its surrogates is essential if we are to have a society in which kids can attend school safely and people can work and enjoy life without fear of being shot. Over the last thirty years, the NRA's campaign to achieve an armed society has succeeded in persuading many Americans that having a gun in the home or carrying a gun makes them safer. The evidence is overwhelming this is not the case. Tackling this and other myths is critical.
