Uncompromised - The Surprising Power of Integrity in a Corrupt World

Dan Desmarques

Maison d'édition: 22 Lions

Synopsis

The subject of ethics has been debated by ancient philosophers and continues to be debated today because, although ignored by many, it permeates the core of our interactions and is present in the choices we make and how those choices affect us. We might even say that ethics is the Greek counterpart to the study of the Indian concept of dharma, or the understanding of the relationship between causes, consciousness, and their effects. The study of ethics is not merely a study of morality, but an important advance in the direction of our own consciousness. The more we know about what makes us moral or immoral, the better our choices will be, and the closer we will be to a life of meaning and joy. There is no enlightenment without consciousness, and no higher consciousness without an understanding of ethics, which must follow an advance in the development of reason. Thus, the study of ethics is part of the path to becoming a more capable person in the many areas of life.

The Battle of Waterloo -...

Nova Ashford

In the early months of 1815, Europe found itself once again on the brink of war. Napoleon Bonaparte, exiled to the island of Elba after his abdication in 1814, had made a daring return to France. On March 1, he landed on the southern coast and began a dramatic march north to Paris. Along the way, regiments sent to arrest him instead joined his cause. By mid-March, he had reclaimed power in what would be known as the Hundred Days. This return sent shockwaves across the continent and disrupted the fragile peace established by the Congress of Vienna. 
The leaders of the major European powers—Britain, Prussia, Austria, and Russia—swiftly moved to form the Seventh Coalition. Their shared goal was simple: defeat Napoleon once and for all. The coalition agreed to raise massive armies and converge on France from multiple directions. Among the key figures in this alliance were the Duke of Wellington, commanding Anglo-allied forces, and Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, leading the Prussians. Napoleon, ever the strategist, understood the urgency of striking quickly before these forces could unite. 
France, still weary from years of revolution and war, was divided in its support. While many rallied to Napoleon out of loyalty or fear, others viewed his return as a dangerous setback. Nonetheless, he managed to raise an army of around 124,000 men—smaller than the coalition forces, but composed largely of veterans loyal to him. Napoleon's plan hinged on speed: he would drive a wedge between Wellington and Blücher’s armies in Belgium, defeat them separately, and then force a negotiated peace.

Everything they own is packed in garbage bags as they are moved to a new foster home. It’s supposed to be a safe haven for them, but as Sarah—now called Anna—learns, their so-called safety comes at a horrific price, as she is groomed and abused by her new foster mother.

Based on a true story, author of Just Another Slice, Dr. Zaffarese-Dippold continues to share her foster care story in the series “Garbage Bag Life.” This book in the series sheds light on the grooming behavior of some sexual abusers, and the risk to children in the foster care system.
