Hitler's Spanish Legion - The...

Gerald R Kleinfeld

A history of the 47,000 Spanish soldiers who volunteered to fight for Hitler in Russia during World War II. Although Spain claimed neutrality during World War II, 47,000 Spaniards volunteered to fight on behalf of the Third Reich. Known as the Blue Division, they battled the Soviets on the Eastern Front and played a key role in the pivotal siege of Leningrad. Set apart from the Wehrmacht by stark differences in culture, tactics, and command structure, these volunteers fought—many of them to the death—with courage and tenacity against strong opposition, extreme temperatures, and insufficient supplies for what they believed was their chance to secure Spain’s place in a new and changing Europe.

The American Imperative -...

Daniel F. Runde

It's time for America to get back in the international leadership game. 
 
 
 
What should our global strategy look like in an age of renewed great power competition? And what must America offer to a newly empowered developing world when we're no longer the only major player? 
 
 
 
In The American Imperative, international development expert Daniel Runde makes the case for building a new global consensus through vigorous internationalism and the judicious use of soft power. Runde maps out many of the steps that we need to take—primarily in the non-military sphere—to ensure an alliance of stable and secure, like-minded, self-reliant partner nations in order to prevent rising authoritarian powers such as China from running the world.

Uncharted - A Rediscovered...

James Martin, Tim Wallace-Murphy

The Americas have had native groups living there for more than ten thousand years, but Columbus was surely not their first visitors. Uncharted covers a range of cultures who seemingly have been visiting the Americas since long before Columbus. Evidence is explored of potential Roman and Phoenician shipwrecks off the coast of South America through to Celtic and Norse exploration of Northern America. Put simply, the history of the discovery of the North America is all wrong. How did the Knights Templar influence the discovery of the new world? What do the Sinclair family, Rosslyn chapel, and two venetian brothers have to do with the discovery of a new continent? How did the Vikings navigate their way? With source materials dating back through millennia, including very recent finds, this book will induce you to thought about a side of history still so readily dismissed by some. 
 
 
  
Uncharted tackles the evidence and stories of visiting distant lands that abound from many cultures, such the Egyptian, Greeks, Celts, Vikings, as well as various people from Asia; and one large Chinese group likely settled in the Americas in 100 BC, which current DNA evidence supports. Columbus should be remembered, but remembered for the conquering tyrant he was. These other groups did not come to conquer, but to trade, explore, and escape.

A Little History of Psychology

Nicky Hayes

A rich and engaging guide to psychology, the science devoted to understanding human nature 
 
 
  
What really drives our decisions? Where do language and memory come from? Why do our minds sometimes seem to work against us? Psychologists have long attempted to answer these questions, seeking to understand human behavior, feelings, and thoughts. But how to explore something so elusive? 
 
 
  
In this fascinating history, leading expert Nicky Hayes tells the story of psychology across the centuries and around the world. Hayes introduces key thinkers, including Carl Jung, Anna Freud, Frantz Fanon, and Daniel Kahneman. We see how they tried to expand our understanding, from Pavlov and his dogs to Milgram and his famous electric shock experiments to the CIA's secret mind-control projects. Hayes explores key concepts like child development, the inferiority complex, and PTSD and shows how psychological research has been used for both good and ill. 
 
 
  
This Little History shines a light on the ever-advancing study of psychology, how the field has evolved over time—and how much more we need to learn.

The Madness Of Reason...

Davide Appi

CONSCIOUSNESS OR SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS THIS IS THE DILEMMA The present society continues to run like a mad elephant, toward global catastrophe. Why do we continue on this road that leads us to a dead end, with end view our own self-destruction? The answer to this question lies in human consciousness itself, the cause of every problem, while Superconsciousness is the solution to every difficulty. What is the difference between consciousness and Superconsciousness? Superconsciousness consciously connects us with everything that exists, and to understand it better we can make the analogy of a network: everything in existence is like a node that can have the illusion of being separate from the rest of the network. Most people are like that, they feel like a node separated from the rest, like a single individual separated from the rest of Humanity. This feeling of separation is the mode in which consciousness operates.
