Fahim Fazli, Michael Moffett

Casa editrice: Warriors Publishing Group

Sinossi

Annotated Anniversary Edition of his Journey from Afghanistan to Hollywood and Back
 
Fahim Fazli is a man of two worlds: Afghanistan, the country of his birth, and America, the nation he adopted and learned to love. He’s also a man who fled oppression and escaped to the United States where he broke through all challenges to become the first Afghan American Hollywood actor. He then paid it all forward by returning to Afghanistan as an interpreter with the U.S. Marines. When Fahim speaks, the story he tells is a stirring ode to courage, compassion, and the unbreakable bonds of love and duty.
 
From the rugged landscapes of his war-torn homeland to the sun-drenched shores of California, Fahim’s story is both heart-wrenching and heartwarming. His experiences on Afghanistan’s battlefields, bridging cultures and defying danger, showcase his unwavering commitment to service and love for his adopted country, America. Fahim Speaks is a testament to the power of faith, courage, and the pursuit of a dream.
 
“When Fahim Fazli speaks, we are fascinated.”                                  
 
—Tom Hanks, CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR

Dutch East India Trading Company...

Kelly Mass

Did you know that the Dutch were some of the first who came up with stocks? They were also known for their gigantic fleet, their ships, their colonies, and so much more. The 17th century was a golden age, a golden century for the Dutch, who discovered how to go to the new world in Asia, America, and other continents to transport spices, minerals, and other materials.The Dutch East India Company, officially the United East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oost Indische Compagnie; VOC), was a megacorporation created in the early 17th century by a government-directed merger of many competing Dutch trade services.You might think that Amazon or Google is big, but the VOC is still thought to be the world's biggest corporation in documented history. It was established on March 20th, 1602, as a chartered business to trade with Mughal India in the early contemporary period, from which it imported 50% of fabrics and 80% of silks, mostly from the Bengal Subah area. In addition, when the Dutch federal government rewarded it a 21-year monopoly on the Dutch spice trade, the business traded with Indianized Southeast Asian nations.Find out more about this by going through this book.

Thinking Through Aquinas -...

Fritz Bauerschmidt

In Thinking Through Aquinas: Essays on God, Humanity, and Christ, Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt presents fourteen essays, written over the course of twenty years, that are attempts both to think through the arguments contained in the theology of Thomas Aquinas and to use the theology of Thomas to think through the questions that confront theologians in our own day. The essays include discussions of Thomas’s understanding of the nature of theology and of God; his reflections on virtue, vice, and the moral life; and his theology of Christ, the Church, and the Sacraments. Over the course of these essays, Thomas is brought into dialogue with figures ranging from Michel Foucault to Flannery O’Connor, Jonathan Lear to Ignacio Ellacuría, Stanley Hauerwas to St. John Paul II.
