Alexander the Great

Jacob Abbott

Sinopsis

A complete biography of the ancient Macedonian king and one of history’s greatest military leaders.Alexander the Great, son of King Philip II of Macedonia, and his fourth wife, Olympias, seemed destined for success. He had Aristotle for a tutor until he was sixteen. He took interest in his father’s military efforts abroad, and worried there would be nothing left to conquer when he became king. When ambassadors from Persia arrived in Macedonia, they tried to entertain young Alexander with colorful stories of their home, but the future leader was more interested in their armies and war tactics. It should be no surprise that Alexander became one of ancient history’s greatest and most successful military leaders.In this biography, author Jacob Abbott recounts the life and times of Alexander the Great. He takes readers through the king’s early years, including his youth and education, as well as his relationship with his parents. The history continues with Alexander’s ascension to the throne at the age of twenty and details all the drama and military victories over the next ten years of the monarch’s reign as he expanded his empire from Macedonia and Egypt to northwest India. Unfortunately, Alexander’s demise soon followed, but not before he left his mark on the world. Nineteenth-century American author Jacob Abbott wrote many books over the course of his own life from juvenile fiction to history. He wrote numerous biographies on such monumental individuals as Alfred the Great, Queen Elizabeth I, Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar, and Peter the Great.

Mellon vs Churchill - The Untold...

Jill Eicher

Andrew Mellon, one of the most accomplished businessmen of his era, is almost unknown today. To this shy, diffident (but brilliant) man fell the daunting task of collecting the war debts from European governments still devastated by WWI and struggling to recover economically. Dealing with the US Congress and the heads of foreign governments on the world stage became one of the great adventures of his life. Winston Churchill is one of the best-known figures in history. Mellon vs. Churchill presents Churchill through a different lens, focusing on his service as Chancellor of the Exchequer when Great Britain was the largest debtor to the US. That he became the most vocal critic of American foreign policy during that time is a scarcely told chapter of economic history—and his contentious debate with Mellon has seldom been explored. 
 
 
 
Yet, while Churchill served as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mellon was his counterpart at the US Treasury, and their debate and fierce differences of opinion about the handling of what Churchill called "the monstrous war debts" made frequent headlines on both sides of the Atlantic. No mention of any of their five meetings are included in the official biographies of either man. Now these confrontations are brought to vivid life in Mellon vs. Churchill, as are many other vignettes from their public, but largely forgotten, rivalry.

Beauty and Imitation - A...

Daniel McInerny

The human person is a truth seeker, and one of the most compelling ways human beings pursue truth is through the arts. In Beauty and Imitation: A Philosophical Reflection on the Arts, Daniel McInerny argues for an understanding of art as a form of inquiry into truth that proceeds by way of sensible beauty.  Drawing upon the thought of Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas, McInerny argues for the unfashionable yet philosophically compelling view that art is essentially “mimetic,” imitative of human action. But what does it mean for art to imitate human action? It means that art imitates the way human beings by nature quest for fulfillment, or happiness. In questing for fulfillment, human life takes the form of a story, and so the arts—all the arts, from painting to music, from fiction to film—are storytelling arts whose beauty reveals the truth about human happiness.  The first part of the book features a renewed defense of the ancient Aristotelian claim that art is mimetic and that its imitation of the human story takes the form of a moral argument. The second part shows how audiences are transformed by the moral arguments the mimetic arts make, and the third concludes with a guided tour of the mimetic arts, where specific arts are considered in light of the Aristotelian and Thomistic principles advanced earlier.

How to Chain a Cheater: A...

A.A. Castor

What if love isn't enough to keep him loyal? What if discipline is the only language he respects? 
How to Chain a Cheater is not a book for the soft-hearted or the blindly forgiving. It's for the woman who's tired of begging, bleeding, and blaming herself for a man's betrayal. This brutally honest, unapologetically strategic guide exposes what no therapist will tell you: some men don't stop cheating until they're trained, tamed—or replaced. 
In these pages, you won't find fairy tale advice. You'll find a battle plan. 
Discover:Why men cheat even when they "love" youHow to install fear, consequence, and accountability without raising your voiceThe psychological warfare that flips the power dynamic in your favorHow to chain a cheater emotionally, financially, sexually—and spirituallyWhen to walk away, when to punish, and when to reward consistency 
This book is your weapon. It's your shield. It's the reality check every woman needs before wasting another tear on an unfaithful man. With dark humor, razor-sharp insights, and no sugarcoating, author A.A. Castor hands women the blueprint to take control, reclaim respect, and—if you choose to stay—make him fear the price of losing you more than he craves the thrill of betrayal. 
If you've ever whispered, "He'll change if I love him harder," this book will scream back: 
"He'll only change when it costs him more to lose you than to keep you."
