Pick up this overview history book today to learn the inspiring history behind The Cold War! This is the perfect book for history fans for all kids to enjoy.

After World War II, America's bout with the Soviet Union catapulted its rise as the world's dominant power. In response, the Soviet Union built its new international strategy around its rivalry with the United States. The US-Soviet relations were impacted by a number of factors that led to the Cold War.

For nearly forty-five years, the Cold War split the world into two zones of authority. However, no weapons were used during that period. The international relations rivalry between the United States of America and the Soviet Union persisted for a considerable time. It led to monumental historical events such as the construction of the Berlin Wall, the Cuban missile crisis, the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, and the Vietnam War. One of the critical actions performed during the Cold War was the establishment of treaties such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization by the Western allies and the Warsaw Pact by the Soviet Union. The war significantly transformed the global system, and the aftereffects are still tangible today.

History of New Zealand: A...

Captivating History

Did you know New Zealand was the first country to offer universal suffrage?
Many people today only started dreaming of visiting New Zealand after discovering it was the beautiful filming place of the Lord of the Rings series. However, ignoring the two islands in the Pacific Ocean is not a modern thing. The remote lands of New Zealand were the last large, livable lands to be discovered, inhabited, and colonized.
Since the Polynesians (the first humans in New Zealand who would become known as the Māori) were the most modern humans to settle in an uninhabited land, it is no surprise New Zealand has always been ahead of its time. Despite its late settlement, New Zealand has been one of the most rapidly modernizing nations in the world. New Zealand was the first country to introduce full democracy, women’s suffrage, state pensions, and state housing. New Zealand has a history unlike any other nation, from its late inhabitation to its unusually respectful colonization, involving hundreds of Māori chiefs signing an agreement to allow European settlement.
Although New Zealand was the last inhabited country and one of the most isolated developed regions in the world, it has been significantly involved in historical events, adding even more interest to its complex and rich history.
Intrigued? Pick up this audiobook to learn more about the following:Extinct animals that used to call New Zealand home;The arrival of the Polynesians and what that meant for the region;The early European explorations and who is credited with discovering the island nation;Colonization efforts and their impact on the Māori;How New Zealand was run under European control;The progressive changes that took place;And so much more!

Conduct of Life volume 2

Moses Almosnino, Walter Hilliger

The major work of Rabbi Moses Almosnino (1515-1580), “Conduct of Life,” remains to this day an essential reference in classical Judeo-Spanish literature, now finally available in English in its first translation. First published in Ladino in 1564 as, Sefer Hanhagat ha-hayim and in 1729 as “Regimiento de la vida”, this three-volume edition is part of the prestigious collection Veritas è terra orietur. The work aims to disseminate the timeless teachings of ethics, in the words of the author: “In all that has been said, my intention is only to make you understand how the one who follows the path of virtue and customs of practising good and pure knowledge since childhood, lives a happy and fulfilled life (Volume 1, chapter 2)” This second volume addresses the confusion of indeterminism with free will (Volume 2, chapter 1) and how virtues arise from free will to surpass the force of destiny chapter 2), their conditions (chapter 3); the three types of strength or courage, which is the first virtue (chapter 4), its five properties and eleven conditions (chapter 5); as well as the ten ethical virtues, temperance (chapter 6), the sixteen properties of liberality chapters 7-8), magnificence (chapter 9), magnanimity and its fifty properties (chapter 10-12), modesty (chapter 13), meekness (chapters 14-16), affability (chapter 17), honesty or truth (chapters 18-19), and courtesy (chapter 20); following the order and numbering of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics.“Conduct of Life” draws heavily from the Nicomachean Ethics but transcends this source by situating itself at the universal intersection of several traditions: Greco-Arabic philosophy, Judeo-Christian scholasticism, classical Sephardic Judaism, and medieval Jewish thought. Thus, this work contributes to peace and intercultural understanding among peoples.

Summer Allen

How many tough conversations have you had—or avoided—about politics, religion, social issues, or parenting? These topics often evoke strong, physical reactions: tension, a knot in the stomach, and rising anxiety. As perspectives clash, the fear of sparking a contentious debate can lead to frustration and division.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
In Lose the Debate, Dr. Summer Allen introduces the ACTER model, a research-backed framework that equips readers to stay calm and open, even in tough conversations. ACTER stands for:A—Appreciate diverse opinionsC—Cultivate curiosityT—Identify triggersE—Regulate emotionsR—Practice respectful listening
When applied, ACTER helps ease the stress of difficult dialogues, enabling readers to understand others objectively and confidently express their own views. This straightforward model encourages small, practical steps toward mastering courageous conversations.
Lose the Debate is timely, addressing the divides straining relationships today. Living in silos stifles growth and limits meaningful connections. Dr. Allen shares her research to show that one conversation at a time can heal divides. Drawing from her experience training Fortune 500 leaders, public figures, and influencers, she teaches how to approach difficult topics with respect and emotional intelligence.
As the founder of a consulting firm dedicated to emotional intelligence, Dr. Allen provides skills to engage constructively in polarized conversations, using insights from 15 years of experience.

内容简介：
《情感话语的多维度研究——以抱怨会话为例》从社会语言学和语用学角度出发，以抱怨会话为例，对其中蕴含的情感话语进行会话分析，以探究情感话语在交际中的特征、表现，以及与框架和立场密不可分的关系。本书所分析的情感话语指含有情感信息的话语，既包括明确指示情感的情感语言，也包括隐含表达情感的情感性语言。情感话语遍布整个语言系统，是人类交际的必要组成部分。任何会话中都可能有潜在的情感话语，交际者通过情感话语来施行各种言语行为。因此，语言和情感的关系已经引起多方学者的关注，主要涵盖认知语言学、语言人类学、心理语言学、社会语言学、计算语言学、语用学等多个领域。本书选取抱怨会话中存在的大量情感话语作为特定分析对象。所用语料采集自电视剧和真人秀，包括33个不同情景和社会关系中的对话片段。鉴于会话分析在考察话语序列性和交际性方面的优势，本书将结合立场的三个方面，即对立场客体的评价（客观性）、说话主体的定位（主观性）和会话者间定位的比较（主体间性），对抱怨言语行为中的情感话语进行会话分析。
