Sinopse

Shore Voices Speak explores the Tlingit language revival movement in Southeast Alaska, highlighting the crucial role of technology in preserving this endangered Indigenous language. The book delves into the historical factors that led to the language's decline, including colonization and forced assimilation, while showcasing how mobile apps and digital resources are now empowering communities. One intriguing insight is how these digital tools aren't just supplementary but essential for engaging younger generations in language learning. This book uniquely combines history, language learning, and technology to offer a fresh perspective on Indigenous language revitalization. It carefully examines the development and impact of Tlingit language apps through case studies, interviews, and data analysis. The approach is structured, beginning with an introduction to Tlingit language and culture, then tracing the language's decline, and finally exploring the development and impact of language apps. The book emphasizes community-led initiatives and collaborative data collection, ensuring that the experiences of Tlingit language learners are central to the narrative. Ultimately, Shore Voices Speak provides valuable lessons for other communities facing similar challenges, offering policy recommendations and strategies for scaling up language revitalization efforts worldwide.

    The Book of the Law, the holy text that forms the basis of Thelema, was transmitted to Crowley by the entity known as Aiwass in Cairo, on three successive days during April 1904. Acting as a medium, Crowley recorded the communications on hotel notepads and later organized his automatic writing into a short, coherent document. Aiwass/Crowley presents The Book of the Law as an expression of three god-forms in three chapters: Nuit, Hadit, and Ra-Hoor-Khuit.

    Die elegante 67 jährige englische Dame Mrs. C. erzählt von den außergewöhnlichsten 24 Stunden ihres Lebens vor über 20 Jahren: Die aufrüttelnde Begegnung mit einem verzweifelten Spieler ändert schlagartig ihr Leben. Sie kommt dabei den seelischen Abgründen von haltloser Leidenschaft beim Spiel und in der Liebe gefährlich nahe. Der österreichische Schriftsteller Stefan Zweig ist zweifellos einer der größten Erzähler Europas. Jeder Satz funkelt in sprachlicher Schönheit und strahlt in überwältigender Bildhaftigkeit. Die psychologisch feingezeichneten Figuren offenbaren präzise und brillant, wieviel unter der kontrollierten Oberfläche der Konvention verborgen liegt. Das Duo Phantasma mit Michael Stülpnagel (Erzähler) und Johannes Weigle (Soundtrack) bringt die Worte zum Klingen und Sie erleben diese mitreißende Novelle durch die Kraft der Phantasie in ihrer ganzen Einzigartigkeit. Gekürzte Lesung.

    What if the law wasn’t just what is written—but what ought to be? 
    In Minos, Plato examines the very essence of law in a philosophical dialogue that challenges the foundation of political authority. Socrates asks whether true law is simply what cities declare—or if it must reflect something deeper, more eternal, and more just. 
    This modern translation captures the gravity and insight of Plato’s early political thought, providing a brief but powerful introduction to the eternal question: What is justice? 
    What you'll discover inside: 
    •	A Philosophical Inquiry into the Nature of Law – Beyond rules, toward universal truth 
    •	Socratic Method Applied to Politics – Questioning whether law equals justice 
    •	A Rare and Fragmentary Text Revived – One of Plato’s boldest but most overlooked dialogues 
    •	A Contemporary, Clear Translation – Ideal for modern listeners engaged in legal, ethical, or political thought 
    Step into one of Plato’s most daring conversations—and reconsider what gives law its true legitimacy.

    For much of 1917, things went the Germans’ way. With the Bolshevik Revolution underway, the Germans were able to move soldiers to the Western front as the Russians quit the war. Moreover, the Allied powers had failed badly in its Nivelle Offensive in May 1917 and suffered a defeat in November against at the Battle of Caporetto in Slovenia. Unbelievably, the French and British had not bothered to coordinate their commands until after those defeats: they finally formed a Supreme Council to coordinate their armies’ movements and strategies. However, the Allied Powers began a counteroffensive known as the Hundred Days Offensive in August 1918 that was highly successful in pushing the Germans backward. In September, Bulgaria reached a separate armistice with the Allied powers, ceding control of the Balkans and cutting off German supplies. The defeated Ottoman Empire surrendered in late October. As the fortunes of the Central Powers waned, several lands in Austria-Hungary’s empire began declaring independence. Finally, in November, Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm II was forced into exile, and the Germans reached an armistice with the Allied powers at 11:00 a.m. on November 11, 1918. World War I had finally ended. 
    	After the successful amphibious invasion on D-Day in June 1944, the Allies began racing east toward Germany and liberating France along the way. The Allies had landed along a 50 mile stretch of French coast, and despite suffering 8,000 casualties on D-Day, over 100,000 still began the march across the western portion of the continent. By the end of August 1944, the German Army in France was shattered, with 200,000 killed or wounded and a further 200,000 captured. However, Adolf Hitler reacted to the news of invasion with glee, figuring it would give the Germans a chance to destroy the Allied armies that had water to their backs.
