Sinopse

In "The Histories," Herodotus, often referred to as the 'Father of History,' offers a groundbreaking narrative that meticulously chronicles the Greco-Persian Wars while exploring the cultural, political, and social landscapes of the ancient world. Written in an engaging prose style, the text is characterized by its rich descriptions and an interweaving of historical facts with mythological elements, allowing readers to gain a multifaceted understanding of the past. Herodotus employs a critical yet curious approach, seeking to present diverse viewpoints and establish the causes and effects of historical events, thus setting a precedent for future historians. Herodotus lived during the 5th century BCE in a time of great change and turmoil in Greece, heavily influenced by the clash between the Greek city-states and the Persian Empire. His extensive travels through Egypt, Persia, and other lands provided him with firsthand accounts and diverse perspectives, enabling him to compile a comprehensive narrative that reflects the complexities of humanity and governance. His philosophical inquiries into power, ethics, and morality contribute to the text's enduring relevance. "The Histories" is not just an account of wars but a profound exploration of civilization itself. It is recommended for readers interested in history, sociology, and anthropology, as it encourages a deeper contemplation of the human experience through time. By reading this work, one will not only discover the events that shaped the ancient world but also engage with timeless questions about human behavior and societal development.

    For adoptees, the word 'lucky' gets thrown around a lot. They're regularly told they're lucky to not be in an orphanage, lucky to have been brought into a family, lucky to be adopted at all. Often they're depicted in media as being broken, in need of saving and fixing. Then they're expected to become the hero of their own journeys and overcome their origins.
    Whatever Next? considers how these traditional narratives surrounding adoption have both dominated and damaged adoptive communities for many years, and what we should do to avoid these pitfalls.
    Inspired by the conversations within their Whatever Next? community project, Jo, Addie and Hannah explore the key tropes that adoptees grapple with and how these conversations are evolving, with the goal of kickstarting new dialogues around the adoption experience more broadly, and showcase how beneficial shared discussion can be.

    The secret war in Ukraine

    What forces are operating in the shadows of the war in Ukraine, both inside and outside the theater of operations? What clandestine operations have been going on for the past three years, unknown to the general public? How does the secret war between Russia and Western countries often spill over into terrorism? What assassinations have been carried out against oligarchs across Europe? How are Western intelligence services, particularly British, helping the Ukrainians? What is the presence of Ukrainian services in Russia? What has become of the American biological laboratories since 1922?...
    To answer these questions and many others, Jacques Baud draws on official information, American, Western, Ukrainian and Russian documents. Between secret diplomacy and clandestine operations, the war in Ukraine was far more complex than the media portrayed it. 
    Following on from the bestsellers Putin, the Master of the Game, Operation Z and Ukraine Between War and Peace and The Art of Russian War, whose analytical work has been acclaimed worldwide and whose books have been translated in many countries (USA, China, Japan, Korea, Great Britain, Germany -bestseller-, Russia, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Turkey, Brazil and the Arab countries), the author returns to the clandestine war that has been waged between Russia, Ukraine and Western countries for the past three years.

    Entering 1943, the Allies looked to press their advantage in the Pacific and Western Europe. The United States was firmly pushing the Japanese back across the Pacific, while the Americans and British plotted a major invasion somewhere in Western Europe to relieve the pressure on the Soviets. By the time the Allies conducted that invasion, the Soviets had lifted the siege of Stalingrad.  
    	Even before the British and Americans were able to make major strategic decisions in 1943, a massive German surrender at Stalingrad in February marked the beginning of the end for Hitler’s armies in Russia. From that point forward, the Red Army started to steadily push the Nazis backward toward Germany. Yet it would still take the Red Army almost an entire two years to push the Germans all the way out of Russia. In July, just a few months after the surrender at Stalingrad, the Allies conducted what at the time was the largest amphibious invasion in history, coordinating the landing of two whole armies on Sicily, over a front more than 100 miles long. Within weeks of the beginning of the Allied campaign in Italy, Italy’s government wasted no time negotiating peace with the Allies and quickly quit the war.  
    	Though Italy was no longer fighting for the Axis, German forces continued to occupy and control Italy in 1943. The Germans attempted to resist the Allies’ invasion on Sicily but were badly outmanned and outgunned, leading to a German evacuation of the island within a month. The Allies would land on the mainland of Italy in September and continue to campaign against the Germans there. 
    	With Allied forces firmly established in Italy, the British and Americans began to plot a much more massive invasion to liberate Western Europe from the Nazis.
