  After many years of prayer and therapy I wish to use ancient philosophy to help others. We live at a time of tremendous change. The only constant in this life is change. This book is dedicated to the young the forgotten generation. Many may find this narrow door approach to life boring. Yet if you're looking for a Peace of Mind you must begin to unplug. I will not try to convert you 2 my way of thinking but possibly a healthier method of musing. After years of using over the counter drugs to become a great writer, I almost lost my mind and my soul. I only pray this helps those of you who are seeking a mental freedom 2 this current revolution surrounding the globe. Socrates lived and died speaking the truth. What is the truth? What is a lie? Why are the rich still well rich and you still poor? Luck, chance, birth, etc. Why does the Church Tithe? Why is the Bible altered by the Rich to serve their interests? Do you really believe God wants us all to be homeless, hungry, starving? Why does marriage not work? Why does owning beget more debt? Why are elections jokes to the common sense and dignity of man? Why is there still racism? Why do we have The NBA, The NFL, NHL and NASCAR? Combining research, history, philosophy, religion and practical knowledge, Doc Lies Cole attempts to bring Socrates back to life? He beckons us to take the most important journey, the one blocked. The path to power is not through the barrel of a gun (Mao), but in the halls of your mind, of your soul. Tears Run Unlimited To Hope To the reader, You and I are living a lie. People, places and things are nouns until we put a “Truth” in them. In this book, well it is a hope you may not become a fool anymore. One philosopher wrote “The Anti-Christ.” This is the “Anti-Truth.” For in order for us to rise out of poverty, we must think, act, and improvise from a “Top Down” approach. This work is inspired by “Thieves By Law;” a documentary celebrating lives of the underworld. To continue seeking the “Truth”

  This story is based on true events of a serious and noble attempt made by the author to save the life of a cherished white and ginger cat who was injured. 
  The author found a cat lying in his garden one day, wounded and meowing quietly. Together with his friend, they took the cat to a veterinarian. 
  The veterinarian told them that the cat had probably been hit by a car and crawled to the garden. 
  Eliran started then to write about the story of Jupiter the hero, the curious cat, who was fascinated by the stars in the heavens and wanted to be “The Star of the Neighborhood”. 
  The story presents a picture of the complexity of the life of street cats, showing the anticipated urban dangers and their dependence on the mercy of the people who volunteer to feed them and care for them. 
  This story resonates well beyond cats and people. It talks about the values of carrying for the other and being empathic.

  This is volume 4 chapter 17 of a series of books written by the Baron Macaulay (1800-1859) in the 19th century. It starts with a brief resume of the history of England up until the Stuart kings and then starts to delve into a little more detail. Macaulay is primarily fascinated by ending of any claim to divine right of kings and the growing role of Parliament in the governing of the country. He sees the accession of William and Mary (Dutch, Protestant royalty) to the British throne as a key moment in the history of the British Isles. This is a book delightful for the literary gifts of the author and intriguing for his view of 18th century English and world politics.(Jim Mowatt)

  A Library Journal 2020 Title to Watch"Terrific - and an amazing achievement to cover so much ground in such a short and wonderfully readable book." -Peter Frankopan, bestselling author of The Silk Roads Russia’s epic and dramatic story told in an accessible, lively and short form, using the country's fascinating history to illuminate its future. A country with no natural borders, no single ethnic group, no true central identity, Russia has mythologized its past to unite its people and to signal strength to outsiders. Mark Galeotti takes us behind the myths to the heart of the Russian story:the formation of a nation through its early legends including Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Greatthe rise and fall of the Romanovs, the Russian Revolution, the Cold War, Chernobyl and the Soviet Unionthe arrival of an obscure politician named Vladimir Putin.A Short History of Russia explores the history of this fascinating, glorious, desperate and exasperating country through two intertwined issues: the way successive influences from beyond its borders have shaped Russia, and the way Russians came to terms with this influence, writing and rewriting their past to understand their present and try to influence their future. In turn, this self-invented history has come to affect not just their constant nation-building project but also their relations with the world.
