  Defeating Jihadist Terrorism

  Since the early 1990s, terrorism and its victims have increased exponentially. Without any action strategy or exit solution, through political and military incompetence, stupidity and ideological blindness, Western interventions have only contributed to its development. We eliminate terrorists, but not terrorism. The solution lies in a more holistic, more subtle, more intelligent and less dogmatic approach. Terrorism is not an ideology. It is a method that takes many forms, including jihadist terrorism. Each form of terrorism is fought with a specific strategy. Based on the original texts of jihadist strategists as well as on their own analyses of attacks in France, Belgium, Great Britain and the United States, Jacques Baud explains the reasons for Western failure. He uses the analyses of Western intelligence services to decipher the mechanisms of jihadist terrorism, in order to extract strategies of action likely to avoid it or to fight it effectively and durably. The author is a former head of Swiss strategic intelligence and former head of UN peace operations doctrine. In the course of his missions in Africa and Central Asia, the author has had several encounters with jihadists in the field. 
  This audiobook is read by a synthesized voice.

  The Second Book of Timothy is one of the three pastoral epistles traditionally attributed to Paul the Apostle. Addressed to Timothy, a fellow missionary it is traditionally considered to be the last epistle he wrote before his death. Although the pastorals are written under Paul's name, they are different from his other epistles, and since the early 19th century, scholars have increasingly seen them as the work of an unknown student of Paul's doctrine. They do not address Paul's common themes, such as the believers' unity with Christ, and they reflect a church hierarchy that is more organized and defined than the church was in Paul's time.

  The Legend of Atlantis - Myths...

  The legend of Atlantis has captivated human imagination for over two millennia. First introduced by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias, Atlantis was described as a powerful and advanced civilization that mysteriously vanished beneath the sea. According to Plato, Atlantis existed around 9,000 years before his time and was a utopian society of great wealth, wisdom, and military might. However, its people grew corrupt, leading to their downfall when the gods punished them with a catastrophic flood. While many scholars argue that Atlantis was purely a philosophical allegory, others have dedicated their lives to searching for evidence of its existence.  
  Numerous theories have emerged over the centuries, each attempting to explain whether Atlantis was a real place or a fictional construct. Some believe Plato’s account was based on real historical events, possibly inspired by the volcanic eruption that destroyed the Minoan civilization on the island of Santorini. Others speculate that Atlantis was an advanced prehistoric civilization that disappeared due to natural disasters. Conversely, skeptics argue that Plato intended Atlantis as a cautionary tale about human hubris, using it as a metaphor for the dangers of moral and political corruption.  
  Beyond academic debates, Atlantis has remained a significant part of global culture. The story has inspired countless books, movies, and television shows, often portraying the lost civilization as a mystical underwater world or a hidden realm of extraordinary technology. Fictional adaptations range from early modern utopian literature to modern conspiracy theories suggesting that Atlanteans possessed knowledge far beyond that of other ancient civilizations. Even today, the idea of a lost, technologically advanced society continues to fuel speculation and excitement, especially among those fascinated by ancient mysteries and alternative history.

  Building America - The Life of...

  An English émigré who became America's first professional architect, Benjamin Henry Latrobe put his stamp on the built landscape of the new republic. Latrobe contributed to such iconic structures as the south wing of the US Capitol building, the White House, and the Navy Yard. He created some of the early republic's greatest neoclassical interiors, including the Statuary Hall. 
   
   
   
  As a young man, Latrobe was apprenticed to both a leading architect and civil engineer in London, studied the European continent's architectural and engineering monuments, worked on canals, and designed private houses. After the death of his first wife, he was bankrupt and emigrated to the United States in 1796 to restart his career. For the new nation with grand political expectations, he intended buildings and engineering projects to match those aspirations. Like his patron Thomas Jefferson, Latrobe saw his neoclassical designs as a way to convey American democracy. He envisioned his engineering projects as a way to unite the nation and improve public health. 
   
    
   
  Building America masterfully narrates the life and legacy of a key figure in creating an American aesthetic in the new United States.
