Sinopsis

In "The History of the Jewish People," Flavius Josephus presents an intricate narrative that chronicles the history, culture, and religious practices of the Jewish nation from its biblical roots to the tumultuous events of the First Jewish-Roman War. Josephus employs a unique blend of Hellenistic prose and Jewish historical tradition, underscoring the complexities of identity in the face of Roman conquest. His work stands as a pivotal document, preserving the accounts of the Jewish people while engaging with contemporary political and philosophical discourses of the 1st century CE. Flavius Josephus, a Jewish historian and military leader who lived during a period of significant upheaval, offers a valuable perspective shaped by his experiences. Born into a priestly family, Josephus played a prominent role in the Jewish revolt against Rome but later defected, providing him access to Roman culture and politics. His dual identity as both a Jew and an observer of Roman society profoundly influenced his writings, as he sought both to defend his heritage and to explain it to a wider audience. This book is essential for scholars, historians, and general readers alike, illuminating the Jewish experience through the eyes of one of its most significant chroniclers. Josephus's work not only enriches our understanding of Jewish history but also offers insights into the broader context of the ancient world, making it a vital addition to any historical library.

    Ghost Writing Gold: Strike Gold When You Learn How to Hire the Best Ghostwriter For You! 
    When you hire a writer for your eBook, what you are doing is enlisting the services of a ghostwriter. A ghostwriter is a writer who publishes under someone else's name, with the consent of both parties. Traditionally, ghostwriters have been and are still today hired by celebrities to write autobiographies when the celebrities are not talented writers. Ghostwriters also sometimes create works for well-known authors, such as Tom Clancy. This practice is done for business reasons, because the author's name alone will sell the books, no matter who actually wrote them. 
    In this audiobook, you will learn why eBooks are great ways to earn money these days and if you don’t have a talent for writing, you can employ the services of ghost writers that will help you write them. 
    This audiobook will cover the following topics: 
    - How to Select a Great Topic 
    - Where to Find Great Writers 
    - How to Choose the Best Writer For Your Project 
    - And many more!

    "The Great Illusion" by Norman Angell is a thought-provoking analysis of international relations and the causes of war. First published in 1909, the book challenges the prevailing view of the time that war was a necessary and inevitable component of international politics. 
    Angell argues that the economic interdependence of nations in the modern world makes war irrational and self-defeating. He contends that war can no longer bring about the benefits it did in the past and that the cost of modern warfare would outweigh any potential gains. In this sense, he argues that the belief in the benefits of war is a "great illusion". 
    Angell's analysis is a precursor to the current debate on globalization and the interdependence of nations in the 21st century. He presents a powerful case for international cooperation, arguing that peace and prosperity can only be achieved through mutual understanding and collaboration among nations. 
    "The Great Illusion" is a seminal work in the field of international relations and a must-read for anyone interested in the causes of war and the prospects for peace in the modern world. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of diplomacy and cooperation in solving the complex problems of our time

    Whether you have played a Prince of Persia video game, seen the movie, or just heard about it in history class, it is hard to ignore the Persian Empire, which was among the greatest empires of the world for some time. 
    The typical area for the Persian Empire was what is now Iran. The Persians had a vast influence on surrounding countries and regions. Their style, art, music, rule, and culture has had an influence on the development of science and the forming of nations. 
    The Achaemenid Empire is well-known for enforcing an effective model of centralized, governmental administration through the usage of satraps; its multicultural policy; the building of road network, like roadways and a postal system; the usage of a main language during its areas; and the development of civil services, and that includes the possession of a big, professional army. The empire's success resulted in the adoption of comparable systems by later empires.

    So ancient was Totemism in Egypt that the Totems of the human Mothers had become the signs of Goddesses, in whom the head of the beast was blended with the figure of the human female. The Totems of the human Mothers had attained the highest status as Totems of a Motherhood that was held to be divine, the Motherhood in Nature which was elemental in its origin. --from "Totemism, Tattoo and Fetishism as Forms of Sign Language" It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a "hidden history" of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey's massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World--first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar--redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 2 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey reads the prehistoric story of human civilization that can be studied in the language of ceremonial rites, ancient customs, and ritual dance, and consequently explores the resultant concept that religion evolved out of expressions of human fertility and sexuality--particularly as embodied in the primeval symbols of blood, sacrifice, and motherhood--and formed the first influences on Judeo-Christianity. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.

    A brilliant journey through the nature of memory, helping us understand how what is lost—and what is remembered—shapes who we are.In this revelatory and intimate exploration of the way memory works, Mark Rowlands, author of The Philosopher and the Wolf, reveals how memories aren’t fixed. They soften and consolidate—and are distorted—each time we revisit them, even those memories most deeply ingrained. The way we call on memory is closer to a "negotiation with the past."From episodic memories like "shining islands in dark waters" and forgotten "Rilkean" memories that underpin our personalities and essential style to the memories we might hold that have been authored by others close to us, The Book of Memory draws on philosophical argument, a range of writers and thinkers, the latest neurological research, and psychology experiments to chart how memories are made, lost and remembered, with important consequences for how we understand ourselves.
