  Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, better known as Vladimir Lenin, was a Russian revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He served as the first and founding head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924. Under his administration, Russia, and later the Soviet Union, became a one-party socialist state governed by the Communist Party. Ideologically a Marxist, his developments to the ideology are called Leninism.
  Russia in the Shadows is a book by H. G. Wells published early in 1921, which includes a series of articles previously printed in The Sunday Express in connection with Wells's second visit to Russia (after a previous trip in January 1914 to St. Petersburg and Moscow) in September and October 1920.
  During his visit to Russia he visited his old friend Maxim Gorky, whom he had first met in 1906 on a trip to the United States, and who arranged Wells's meeting with Lenin.
  In a chapter (The Dreamer in the Kremlin) devoted to an interview with Lenin at the Kremlin Wells describes the leader and founder of Russian communism. Wells portrays Lenin as a pragmatic leader who "has recently stripped off the last pretence that the Russian revolution is anything more than the inauguration of an age of limitless experiment."

  The Viking Age - Raiders and...

  The story of the Vikings begins in the rugged, coastal lands of Scandinavia, where modern-day Norway, Sweden, and Denmark now stand. These northern regions, characterized by their cold climate, deep fjords, and dense forests, shaped a resilient and resourceful people. Isolated by geography and challenged by limited arable land, the early Norse communities developed a strong connection to nature, the sea, and their close-knit societies. Life in Scandinavia during the early Middle Ages was not easy, but it fostered a culture of survival, adaptability, and innovation. 
  At the heart of Viking society was a deep belief in their mythology and gods. Norse mythology offered a complex system of deities, heroes, and mythical creatures that guided the moral and spiritual lives of the people. Central figures like Odin, the wise All-Father; Thor, the thunder god and protector; and Freyja, the goddess of love and fertility, were not just worshipped but also deeply integrated into the everyday lives of the Norse. These myths were passed down through oral storytelling, poetic sagas, and ritual practices, helping to create a shared identity among the diverse Scandinavian tribes. 
  Viking society was organized into a hierarchical structure that valued strength, honor, and loyalty. At the top were the jarls, or chieftains, who held power over clans and led warriors into battle or on raids. Below them were the karls, the free farmers, craftsmen, and traders who formed the backbone of Viking communities. At the bottom were the thralls, or slaves, who were usually captured during raids or born into servitude. Despite this stratification, Viking culture emphasized personal achievement and reputation, allowing individuals to rise in status through bravery, skill, and loyalty.

  The ghosts of Hollywood, the death of Edgar Allan Poe, the loving Martian, the Zone of Silence, cursed diamonds. Joslan F. Keller tells us eighteen disturbing stories that defy reason. Eighteen paranormal zones from around the world, all authentic and documented by the author, which shake our certainties—the unexplained phenomena in the sky, the incursions into the world of spirits, encounters with unusual characters, close encounters with UFOs, visits to disturbing places.
  
  Doesn't the improbable arise from our still-limited knowledge and our inability to rationally explain phenomena that go beyond our understanding? The world is neither black nor white. Are there not an infinite number of grey areas, at the frontiers of the unknown, dominated by forces whose mechanisms are little explored, or not at all?

  Mythology across the Ancient...

  Although the Egyptians may not have passed their civilization directly on to later peoples, the key elements that comprised Egyptian civilization, including their religion, early ideas of state, and art and architecture, can be found among other civilizations. For instance, civilizations far separated in time and space, such as China and Mesoamerica, possessed key elements that were similar to those found in ancient Egypt. Indeed, since Egyptian civilization represented some fundamental human concepts, a study of their culture can be useful when trying to understand many other pre-modern cultures.  
  	Today the Mesopotamians and their religion are sources of curiosity, but thousands of years ago, the religion was an integral part of their lives. From their birth to their death, deities surrounded them, and whether their social interactions were on the level of a smaller city or that of a larger nation-state, deities played key roles in the social fabric of their society. Whereas the Israelites were one people who worshipped a single god, Babylon had a succession of different dynasties derived from many ethnic groups, and since Babylonian religion originated from a plethora of sources, there were very few elements that maintained primacy throughout the city’s history. For example, the Sumerian influence resulted in citizens worshipping many deities in the city, but those numbers were reduced after the Amorites came to power.  
  	One of the reasons Zeus remains one of the most recognizable gods in history is because of the spread of his influence. Due to the conquests of Alexander the Great, Zeus was brought along with other elements of Hellenization to Egypt and the Near East, and a few centuries later, Rome all but adopted him as their own chief god, Jupiter. From there, he was exported around the Roman Empire and fused with numerous other local gods in the process.

  The Politics of Maps -...

  Blending science and technology studies, sociology, and geography with a host of archival material, in-depth interviews, and ethnographies, The Politics of Maps explores how the geographical sciences came to be entangled with the politics, territorial claim-making, and nation-state building of Israel/Palestine. Chapters chart the cartographic history of the region, from the introduction of Western scientific and legal paradigms that seemingly legitimized and depoliticized new land regimes to the rise of new mapping technologies and software that expanded access to cartography into the public sphere. Maps produced by various sectors like the "peace camps" or the Jewish community enhanced national belonging, while others, like that of the Green Line, served largely to divide. 
   
   
   
  The stories of Israel's many boundaries reveal that there is no absolute, technocratic solution to boundary-making. As boundaries continue to be controversial and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains intractable and unresolved, The Politics of Maps uses nationally-based cartographic discourses to provide insight into the complexity, fissures, and frictions within internal political debates, illuminating the persistent power of the nation-state as a framework for forging identities, citizens, and alliances.
