Beschreibung

In "Six Years With the Texas Rangers: 1875 to 1881," James B. Gillett offers a vivid and compelling memoir that chronicles his experiences as a Texas Ranger during a transformative period in the American West. Gillett's narrative is marked by a concise and engaging literary style; he skillfully combines firsthand accounts with rich details of law enforcement challenges, the sociopolitical landscape of post-Civil War America, and the ruggedness of the Texan terrain. The book captures the spirit and ethos of the Rangers while reflecting broader themes of justice, valor, and the complexities of frontier life. James B. Gillett served with distinction in the Texas Rangers, a background that imbues his writing with authenticity and authority. His experiences reflect not only personal bravery but also the fateful intersections of law enforcement and societal change. Gillett's insights hint at the moral ambiguities faced by those on the frontier, likely influenced by his desire to document and make sense of the tumultuous environment in which he operated. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the history of the Texas Rangers, American law enforcement, and the broader narrative of the American West. Gillett's memoir serves as both a historical document and an exhilarating read, offering invaluable perspectives for scholars and enthusiasts alike.

    The only Latin art of war to survive, Vegetius’ Epitome was for long a part of the medieval prince’s military education. The core of his proposals, the maintenance of a professional standing army, was revolutionary for medieval Europe, while his theory of deterrence through strength remains the foundation of modern Western defence policy.

    Read by the author. 
    "A heartfelt invitation for grieving readers...An excellent resource for those working their way through loss." —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review  
    Veteran hospital chaplain to the sick, dying, and bereaved, J.S. Park offers you both the permission and the process for how to grieve and heal at your own pace. 
    In As Long As You Need, J.S. offers an honest and unrushed engagement with grief, decoding four types of grieving—spiritual, mental, physical, and relational—and offering compassionate self-care and soul-care along the way. 
    If you are struggling to process loss, pain, or grief from the last few years or the last few minutes, J.S. is an experienced and deeply empathetic listener and grief catcher who has held the pain and questions of thousands of patients. While social and cultural narratives about grief are dominated by "letting go, moving on, or turning the page" in his nearly decade of service as a chaplain at a major hospital with a designated level one trauma center J.S. understands firsthand how rushing or suppressing grief only adds a suffocating layer of pain on top of the original wound. 
    From his unique window into the stories of the ill, injured, dying, and their families, J.S. offers you:Permission to dismantle all too common myths about grief and replace them with a guilt-free and unrushed approach to navigating your losses.Encouragement for how entering grief, rather than avoiding it, leads to a hard but meaningful holding of your loss.Empathy and hope if you are struggling with a crisis of faith in the midst of grief.Recognition that grief spans a wide narrative of loss: loss of future, faith, mental health, worth, autonomy, connection, and loved ones.Affirmation that your grief is your own. While the DNA of grief might be universal to the human condition, how you experience and process grief is unique to you. 
      
    From the ER to deliveries to deathbeds across every sort of illness and injury imaginable, J.S. Park has provided meaningful counseling for people in all walks of life and death. Now, through his book he wants to assure you that, while everybody else might rush past your pain, grief is the voice that says, take as long as you need.

    Russell Targ has been successfully teaching people how to get in touch with their psychic abilities for more than fifty years. This began in 1972 when he cofounded the CIA sponsored ESP research program at Stanford Research Institute. 
     
     
      
    Third Eye Spies will introduce listeners to the most successful and gifted remote viewers in the world, some of whom had never done anything like this before, along with the evidence of their psychic abilities. Remote viewing is the opportunity to describe and experience objects and events in the distance, past, and future. 
     
     
      
    Targ shares the simple techniques the masters of remote viewing used to be able to expand your mind's eye beyond your physical location. Misconceptions have abounded that ESP is weak and unreliable. On the contrary, in the SRI laboratory experiments and classified operational tasks, ESP was found to be surprisingly reliable, accurate, and useful. In data from laboratories all over the world, we have seen that the accuracy and reliability of remote viewing is not in any way degraded by distance. 
     
     
      
    With Third Eye Spies, you will be able to step beyond the boundaries of your physical body and learn to live with psychic abilities.

    America: Standing Strong, from award-winning author Robert J. Emery (www.robertjemeryauthor.com) 
    In 1920, while campaigning for the office of president, Warren G. Harding said in a campaign speech, “America’s present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy.” 
    That is where America finds itself today. 
    “America: Standing Strong” brings together investigative reporters, scholars, scientists, philosophers, medical professionals, elected officials across the political spectrum and an endless string of quotes from respected voices, past and present, to examine the events of recent years, not what we already know, but what we may not, or have yet to acknowledge, in our quest for reformation. Every voice counts.
