A History of the Civil War, 1861–1865 is a history book by James Ford Rhodes. It won the Pulitzer Prize for History in 1918. The book is about the American Civil War.

James Ford Rhodes (May 1, 1848 – January 22, 1927), was an American industrialist and historian born in Cleveland, Ohio. After earning a fortune in the iron, coal, and steel industries by 1885, he retired from business to devote time to historical research. He wrote a seven-volume history of the United States from 1850, initially published from 1893 to 1906 with an eighth volume added in 1920. Another book, A History of the Civil War, 1861–1865 (1918), won the second-ever Pulitzer Prize for History.

    Thus Spoke Zaratustra

    "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is a philosophical novel written by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, first published in 1883. The book is divided into four parts and tells the story of a fictional character named Zarathustra, who is on a journey to share his philosophy with the people. 
    The book is often considered Nietzsche's masterpiece and explores themes such as the death of God, the will to power, and the Übermensch (or superman). Through Zarathustra's journey, Nietzsche presents his ideas on morality, religion, and the nature of humanity. 
    The character of Zarathustra is inspired by the historical figure of Zarathustra, who founded the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism. However, Nietzsche's Zarathustra is not a religious prophet but a philosopher who seeks to share his wisdom with humanity. 
    The style of "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is highly poetic and symbolic, often using metaphorical language to express complex philosophical ideas. The book has been highly influential in modern philosophy, literature, and art, and its impact can be seen in the works of many later thinkers, such as Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre.

    Meditations

    Marcus Aurelius

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
    Meditations is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from AD 161 to 180, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. 
    Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes reveal that the first book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova (modern-day Hron in Slovakia) and the second book was written at Carnuntum. 
    It is unlikely that Marcus Aurelius ever intended the writings to be published. The work has no official title, so "Meditations" is one of several titles commonly assigned to the collection. These writings take the form of quotations varying in length from one sentence to long paragraphs.

    Two Three Words (Do Se Kalameh)...

    Where is the driving force for change? Who envisions a better future, crafts the path to democracy, and strategizes the movement? Who fuels it with revolutionary zeal and the will to power? And where is the force that can fulfill the unfinished promise of Iran's Constitutional Revolution? In three words: The Iranian Citizenry. Thirty years before Iran's Constitutional Revolution, the treatise One Word (Yek Kalameh) ignited a movement, challenging absolute monarchy, advocating the rule of law, and empowering the people. Now, Two, Three Words (Do, Se Kalameh) draws inspiration from the courageous youth of Iran. It articulates their aspirations, forges a new discourse, and unites a narrative that could pave the way for democratic alternatives. 
    Aram Hessami is a professor of Political Science and Philosophy at Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland. His research and publications focus on Democratic Transition, Discourse Theory, and Social Change. He received his BA, MA, and Doctorate in Political Science & Philosophy from The George Washington University in 1993. Dr. Hessami's specialization is in Western Political Thought and Post-modern philosophy.

    Approaching and facing some essential life questions and leaving them in a written “ethical will” will benefit our loved ones after we have passed and might be more important than any material things we pass on at our death. It will also be helpful in shedding light on our own deepest beliefs and dreams.
