Summary

Daniel Garrison Brinton (1837-1899) was an American surgeon, historian, archaeologist and ethnologist. After graduating from Yale University in 1858, he studied at Jefferson Medical College for two years and spent the next year travelling in Europe. He continued his studies at Paris and Heidelberg. From 1862 to 1865, during the American Civil War, he was a surgeon in the Union Army. He became professor of Ethnology and Archaeology in the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia in 1884; and was professor of American linguistics and Archaeology in the University of Pennsylvania from 1886 until his death.
From 1868 to 1899, Brinton wrote many books, and a large number of pamphlets, brochures, addresses and magazine articles.
From Brinton's fundamental essay American Hero-Myths (which our publishing house has already republished in 2019), undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and complete work on the comparative mythology of the ancient American peoples, we have selected the study Quetzalcoatl: The Hero-God of the Aztec Tribes. We propose it to our readers today.

    Immigrants are people who have moved to new countries in order to settle as permanent residents or naturalized citizens. This valuable resource is primarily for them; especially those having doubts about their potentials and entrepreneurial skills, and applying the advantages in their new locations. 
    Give a man (or a woman) a fish and you feed him for a day;  
    Teach a man (or a woman) to fish and you feed him for a lifetime;  
    What about the man or woman owning a pond or two containing fishes? 
    This book provides exclusive insights into Migrapreneurs (migrants + entrepreneurship), the who, what, why, and how. It will inform, inspire, and challenge readers to courageously exploit the advantages of their diversity in the context of entrepreneurship and business. They can take charge of their destinies by creating robust options while depending less on the already challenged economic and social welfare systems in the new countries. 
    Before you start reading, please prepare your mind for a journey that requires discipline and focus. What this book offers you is a path most immigrants don’t take due to can’t-do mindset, scarcity mentality, fear of the unknown, and lack of appropriate support. Reading this book, and taking prescribed actions, will assuredly provide you with a trigger for getting on the path to greatness.

    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.

    Ecclesiastes is one of the Ketuvim ("Writings") of the Hebrew Bible and one of the "Wisdom" books of the Christian Old Testament. The title commonly used in English is a Latin transliteration of the Greek translation of the Hebrew word קֹהֶלֶת (Kohelet, Koheleth, Qoheleth or Qohelet). An unnamed author introduces "The words of Kohelet, son of David, king in Jerusalem" (1:1) and does not use his own voice again until the final verses (12:9-14), where he gives his own thoughts and summarises the statements of Kohelet; the main body of the text is ascribed to Kohelet himself.
