She is But a Woman - Queenship in Scotland 1424–1463

Fiona Anne Downie

Sinossi

She is but a Woman, the first in-depth study of medieval Scottish queens, investigates the relationship between gender and power in the medieval Scottish court by exploring the art of queenship as practised by Joan Beaufort and Mary of Guelders, queens of James I and James II. These women were excluded from authority but clearly possessed power as wives and mothers of kings. They established and cultivated relationships with members of the court, learned about Scottish political life and supported their husbands in the business of government. The book examines for the first time the arrivals of Joan and Mary in Scotland, their social and political status, their relationships with their husbands and families, and their roles in international diplomacy.
This modern re-evaluation of the role and power of the medieval queen is a thematic exploration rather than a biographical study. It situates the experiences of Joan and Mary within a broader European context and provides a new perspective on Scotland's political, social and cultural links with Europe in the fifteenth century.

Moral Letters to Lucilius

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

"Philosophy is not a trick for the public, it is for the soul."

Seneca was a statesman, dramatist, and one of Rome's wealthiest men—yet he spent his final days writing these letters to his friend Lucilius on how to find true freedom. Moral Letters to Lucilius is a deep dive into the practical application of Stoicism. Seneca tackles the universal anxieties we still face today: the fear of death, the burden of grief, the noise of the crowd, and the pursuit of luxury. He argues that the only true wealth is a mind that is at peace with itself and the natural order of the world.

The "Doctor of the Soul": Seneca's writing style is warm, conversational, and filled with memorable aphorisms. He treats philosophy as a "remedy" for the sickness of the mind. Whether he is advising on how to choose a true friend or how to handle a difficult boss, his advice is designed to be used the moment you put the book down.

The Resilience of the Mind: Through these letters, Seneca prepares Lucilius (and the reader) for the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune." He emphasizes the practice of Premeditatio Malorum—rehearsing potential difficulties so that they never take us by surprise—and the importance of living every day as if it were our last.

Why It Is a Modern Essential: From Silicon Valley CEOs to modern therapists, Seneca's letters remain a go-to resource for mental clarity. He teaches us that we "suffer more often in imagination than in reality" and provides the tools to build an unshakable inner character in an unpredictable world.

Nazi party and the occultism

Davis Truman

Occult figures undoubtedly played a significant role in the formation of the NSDAP, but it is equally obvious that leading Nazis later denounced and persecuted occult groups. Occult "true believers" in the party ranks were frequently marginalized and persecuted as the Nazi Party gained prominence and power after 1919. 
In any case, a surprising number of people in the Third Reich were open to occult beliefs and practices, including senior figures like Hitler and Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS and Gestapo. 
Without a widespread propensity for paranormal thinking, which Hitler and the Nazi Party rushed to capitalize on and was exacerbated by military defeat and social crisis, the Third Reich would have been highly improbable. The National Socialist movement was not the first to use religious sentiment for political gain. However, Hitler's NSDAP was far more successful than other parties in appealing to a generation traumatized by war, violence, and sociopolitical upheaval by appealing to a supernatural imagination.
