  Without any of the sugarcoating often found in the modern hyper-positive self-help genres, Robert Pantano attempts to provide the value of motivation and personal development through unwavering philosophical honesty. Studying and pulling from ideas in Stoicism, Existentialism, Nihilism, Absurdism, Buddhism, Taoism, and more, he combines his own thoughts with concepts from philosophy to create accessible, thought-provoking, and beautiful takeaways that will change the way you think about yourself, existence, and how to appreciate the absurdity of it all.Most of the essays contained in this book were originally published as videos seen by tens of millions of people on Pantano's popular YouTube channel, Pursuit of Wonder. Because of their popularity, he has created an organized collection of revised essays gathered in the form of this book. Not only have the essays been improved and revised, but Pantano has also added additional essays containing deeper insights about the overarching subjects covered and why he has personally found them valuable.Driven by a sense of doubt, skepticism, fascination, and a yearning for awe, The Art of Living a Meaningless Existence inspires listeners to embark on their own pursuit of wonder.

  Two hostages. One cartel. Zero margin for error. When diplomacy fails, the Covert Ops team doesn’t. 
   
  A Caribbean paradise. A deadly cartel. A rescue mission that was never meant to succeed. 
   
  When two young travellers vanish in the Caribbean, ex-military operator Steve Barker and his team are called in for an off-the-books mission: extract the hostages, eliminate the cartel, and leave no trace. 
   
  But the intel stinks. The contact’s hiding something, the money’s too clean, and every street in San Juan hums with danger. What begins as a textbook rescue spirals into a nightmare of betrayal, ambushes, and firefights stretching from the Old Fort Castillo San Cristóbal to the jungles of Saint Ann. 
   
  Cut off from command and surrounded by enemies, the Covert Ops team must rely on instincts, brotherhood, and raw fury to bring their people home—or die trying. 
   
  Expect: 
  • Gritty realism and black humour straight from the veteran’s battlefield mindset 
  • Caribbean gunfights, urban chases, and a high-risk extraction deep in cartel territory 
  • Authentic military banter and tactics forged in combat 
  • PTSD, loyalty, and redemption colliding in the heat of the mission 
   
  Perfect for fans of: Tom Clancy, Andy McNab, Lee Child, and Mark Greaney—readers who crave covert ops with bite, not polish. 
   
  The mission: rescue the innocent, punish the guilty, and survive the extraction. 
  Grab Covert Ops: The Extraction and lock in for the most explosive mission yet.

  Crusading against Christians:...

  Editors Charles River

  After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century, when Western Europe was governed by a Germanic warrior-caste, the theory of a just and virtuous war took root. The Roman Church enhanced its authority by sanctifying oaths taken for just military purposes, and Bishop Anselm of Lucca (d. 1086) was the first to suggest that military action for the cause of religion could remit sin. At the Council of Clermont in July 1095, Pope Urban II canonized religious war by urging Western Europe's nobility to take up arms in defense of the Byzantine Empire against the Muslims, thus launching the Crusades. Religious military orders such as the Knights of Saint John, the Templars, and the Hospitallers arose, ostensibly founded to protect the weak and the sick but also to extend the boundaries of Christianity and the power of the Church. In Europe, the knight, originally a mounted warrior, became a consecrated soldier of Christ, dedicated to the defense of the Church by solemn vows made before an altar. 
  Naturally, the question remained concerning the use of arms against other Christians. Eastern Christians did not acknowledge the Pope's supremacy, and many held that it was lawful for him to declare a crusade to bring schismatics back to the obedience of Rome. German knights fighting the Orthodox Russians at the Battle on the Ice in 1242 believed this, as did the Hungarian prosecutors of the 1235 invasion of Bosnia, which was thinly disguised as a crusade. The Church even extended the object of crusade to believers in communion with Rome, who refused to obey lawful authority. After peasants revolted against the Prince-Archbishop of Bremen in 1204 over tithes and land rights, Pope Gregory IX was persuaded to declare them heretics and proclaim a crusade against them.

  Now in its 3rd edition, Better Learning Through Structured Teaching is the definitive guide to the gradual release of responsibility—an instructional framework any teacher can use to help students to be more successful and self-directed learners. 
   
  To gradually release responsibility is to equip students with what they need to master content and develop new competencies. On a day-to-day basis, it means delivering lessons intentionally structured to incorporate four interrelated phases: 
  Focused Instruction ("I do it") that sets students up for cognitive apprenticeship by establishing lesson purpose, modeling strategies and skills, and sharing information and insight.Guided Instruction ("We do it together") that incorporates targeted prompts, cues, and questions to scaffold understanding.Collaborative Learning ("You do it together") that allows students to consolidate and extend understanding through accountable group tasks built on discussion and cooperative problem-solving.Independent Learning ("You do it alone") that provides students opportunities to practice and apply the skills and knowledge they've acquired to create authentic products and ask new questions. 
   
  Authors Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey detail the components of each phase, sharing proven strategies and real-life examples. You'll find a variety of useful tips for classroom implementation, along with new guidance on teacher credibility, social-emotional learning, and embedding assessment throughout all four phases. No matter what grade level or subject you teach, Better Learning Through Structured Teaching: A Framework for the Gradual Release of Responsibility is an essential resource for improving your practice and empowering your students. 
   
  This audiobook is skillfully read by Brian Arens, and was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. Audio engineering by Allie McSwain.
