Beschreibung

In 'Select Conversations with an Uncle', H. G. Wells showcases his iconic blend of science fiction and social commentary through a series of intellectually stimulating dialogues. Published in 1895, this book provides readers with a unique opportunity to delve into the mind of the author as he engages in thought-provoking discussions on various topics ranging from politics to technology. Wells' distinctive literary style, marked by insightful observations and clever wit, shines through in each conversation, offering readers a glimpse into the intellectual landscape of the late 19th century. The book's narrative structure, presented as a series of conversations, adds a layer of intimacy and immediacy to the often complex ideas discussed. H. G. Wells, a visionary writer known for his pioneering work in the science fiction genre, drew inspiration from his own experiences and observations to write 'Select Conversations with an Uncle'. Wells' background in biology and fascination with the possibilities of technological advancement informed his writing, allowing him to speculate on future societies and the impact of scientific progress on humanity. His uncanny ability to foresee societal trends and technological advancements lends an air of authority and relevance to the conversations documented in the book. I highly recommend 'Select Conversations with an Uncle' to readers interested in delving into the intersection of science, society, and literature. This book serves as a fascinating exploration of timeless themes and ideas, offering valuable insights into the mind of a visionary author whose work continues to captivate readers worldwide.

    If you struggle with substance abuse, you may have intense feelings of loneliness, isolation, and disconnection. You may feel uncomfortable asking others for help. And when faced with difficult emotions, it's easy to fall into the habit of numbing and avoiding emotional pain with drugs and alcohol, which can leave you feeling even more shame and despair. So, how do you break this cycle and create real connections that will reward you with relief, belonging, and a sense of safety? 
     
     
     
    The exercises in this workbook are based in proven-effective emotionally focused therapy (EFT)—an innovative approach for transforming the pain of addiction into a sense of love, community, and connection. Step by step, you'll build a solid foundation of self-compassion to help you heal from the underlying causes that drove you to self-medicate in the first place. Instead of trying to dull the pain at the core of your addiction, you'll discover how to develop a safety net of relationships to protect you. The more emotionally fluent you become, the more you'll learn to rely on your support network in times of distress—and the less likely you'll be to reach for substances. As you remove the obstacles that block healthy connection to others, you'll begin to resolve the pain buried deep within, and replace your addiction with a reliable, caring connection with others—and with yourself!

    The Maurya Empire, one of the most significant dynasties in Indian history, emerged in the late 4th century BCE. Its foundations were laid by Chandragupta Maurya, who, with the guidance of his advisor Chanakya, overthrew the ruling Nanda dynasty and established a powerful empire. The rise of the Mauryas marked a turning point in Indian history, as they created a centralized and efficient administration that governed vast territories. 
    Before the Maurya Empire, the Indian subcontinent was fragmented into various kingdoms and republics. The dominant power during this time was the Nanda dynasty, which ruled over Magadha, a region in present-day Bihar. Though the Nandas controlled a significant portion of northern India, their rule was marked by heavy taxation and unpopular policies, which created discontent among the people and the military. This environment of dissatisfaction provided an opportunity for Chandragupta Maurya to challenge their authority. 
    Chandragupta’s rise to power is closely linked to Chanakya, a scholar and strategist who had been humiliated by the Nandas. Seeking revenge, Chanakya trained Chandragupta in statecraft, military tactics, and governance. With his mentor’s guidance, Chandragupta built an army and gradually expanded his influence. By allying with local rulers and gaining the support of disgruntled soldiers, he launched a successful campaign against the Nandas, eventually seizing control of Magadha around 321 BCE.

    The fascinating story of eight children of Third Reich leaders and their journey from the descendants of heroes to the descendants of criminals.  
     
    In 1940, the German sons and daughters of infamous Nazi dignitaries Himmler, Göring, Hess, Frank, Bormann, Speer, and Mengele were children of privilege at four, five, or ten years old, surrounded by affectionate, all-powerful parents. Although innocent and unaware of what was happening at the time, they eventually discovered the extent of their father's occupations: 
     
    These men—their fathers who were capable of loving their children and receiving love in return—were leaders of the Third Reich, and would later be convicted as monstrous war criminals. For these children, the German defeat was an earth-shattering source of family rupture, the end of opulence, and the jarring discovery of Hitler's atrocities. 
     
    How did the offspring of these leaders deal with the aftermath of the war and the skeletons that would haunt them forever? Some chose to disown their past. Others did not. Some condemned their fathers; others worshiped them unconditionally to the end. In this enlightening book, Tania Crasnianski examines the responsibility of eight descendants of Nazi notables, caught somewhere between stigmatization, worship, and amnesia. By tracing the unique experiences of these children, she probes at the relationship between them and their fathers and examines the idea of how responsibility for the fault is continually borne by the descendants.

    Kingdom of Wolves clears the path to understanding the unconscious drives that motivate if not govern the behaviours of predators, abusers, bullies, their victims and the underlying issues that draw them to each other. The author demystifies the complexities of human behaviour, merging old concepts with new as she guides you through the emotional and psychological landscapes of the abuser’s and victim’s psyche. She provides a simple but profound insight into the adverse causes and outcomes of early childhood and adolescent development, linking it to present-day adult ways of life. Juliana, once a victim of domestic abuse herself, believes that freedom, reclamation, redemption and wholeness of spirit can only be achieved by taking a journey inward. She hopes through this book to provide a way forward for victims who are trapped by their past experiences or present-day abusive circumstances and concludes that the key to recognition, understanding and prevention of violence and abuse can only be gained through acquiring a deeper awareness of human behaviour.
