Sinopse

In "The Rise and Decline of the Roman Empire," John Bagnell Bury meticulously examines the complex tapestry of Rome's expansive history, encompassing the political, social, and economic transformations that led to the empire's remarkable ascent and eventual fall. Written in a nuanced narrative style that deftly weaves together historical analysis and literary critique, Bury's work situates itself within the tradition of classical historiography, engaging with both primary sources and contemporary scholarship. His comprehensive examination spans centuries, capturing the multifaceted challenges faced by Rome, from internal strife to external invasions, while also addressing the broader implications for civilization as a whole. John Bagnell Bury (1861-1927), a distinguished scholar in ancient history, brought to bear his extensive background in philology and classical studies. His academic journey, influenced by the growing field of historiography and the critical analysis of primary sources, led him to focus on the Roman Empire's narratives. Bury's intellectual curiosity and rigorous methodical approach enable him to provide an authoritative yet accessible exploration of one of history's most pivotal subjects. For students, scholars, and general readers alike, "The Rise and Decline of the Roman Empire" is an essential addition to any historical library. Bury's interdisciplinary methodology not only elucidates the reasons for the empire's rise and fall but also sparks critical reflection on the nature of power and governance, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the echoes of history that resonate in contemporary society.

  • Politics & Mission - Rediscovering the Political Power of What Christians Do - cover

    Contrary to popular sentiment, Christianity is not dull or out of touch but fresh, relevant, exciting, and contemporary. The Church is political because it tells a radically different story from the dominant political norms of our day. Through a study of the Church’s liturgy, this book seeks to build confidence in the Church’s mission.
    
     
    Politics & Mission examines five pieces of liturgy—namely morning prayer, baptism, eucharist, footwashing and the funeral—detailing in turn the ways in which the language of the liturgy, which we often take for granted, is powerful and counter-cultural. Through its analysis, the book sheds light on three principal areas: what it is to be human, the challenges of contemporary mission, and the particular way in which the Church is political.
    
     
    In so doing, new resources are offered for the practicing Christian, those in Church leadership, and those looking at the Church from the outside, to reflect on and grapple with the challenges of this generation.

    This books deals with reprogramming of mind first by understanding how does human mind work. How it generate thoughts, and how are negative thoughts generated. The author chanced upon this process and methodology while being on a spiritual exploration since 2015. He travelled to the Himalayas met some great Yogis and discovered some places with great vibrations. He experienced many out of time and space experiences, which also graced him with a steady state of calmness in his mind. Almost a state where negative thoughts cease to flow. Mind tamed finally, he analysed the whole journey and found how he got processed through this and reached a state of calmness. He started teaching meditation in Europe since 2018 in few countries till 2020, when he had to return to India. He made some videos on YouTube and his channel took off in May 2020, and now there are 24k subscribers and 4.2 Million views till date. 67 videos in all. Finally it was time to document the entire method ot philosophy through a book. I hope this book will eventually open you up and lead to your transformation if practised sincerely with consistency. Though initially it may appear to be tough to understand.

    This book contains these 4 titles: 
    - The Arab Spring: The Arab Springs stands as one of the most transformative events of the 21st century, reshaping the political and social landscapes of the Middle East and North Africa. Triggered in December 2010 by the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia, the movement quickly spread across the region, igniting a wave of protests, uprisings, and revolutions.  
    - The Dakota Access Pipeline Protests: The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protests were a defining moment in the intersection of environmental advocacy and Indigenous rights. Proposed to transport crude oil from the Bakken oil fields in North Dakota to Illinois, the pipeline’s route crossed sacred lands and the Missouri River, threatening water supplies and cultural heritage. While its proponents touted economic benefits and energy security, the project drew fierce resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and their allies, sparking a global movement.  
    - The Hong Kong Protests: Hong Kong, a former British colony handed back to China in 1997, has long been a symbol of political and economic success. Its unique status under the "One Country, Two Systems" framework promised a high degree of autonomy, preserving its freedoms and capitalist economy for 50 years after the handover. However, in recent years, this promise has been put to the test, as Beijing's increasing influence over the region has sparked widespread protests and growing unrest. 
    - The MeToo Movement: The movement’s resonance stems from its powerful message: sexual harassment and assault are widespread issues that affect women and marginalized groups across all sectors of society, from entertainment to politics, from workplaces to homes.

  • Iron Brigade and Stonewall Brigade The: The History of the Civil War’s Most Famous Brigades - cover

    Iron Brigade and Stonewall...

    Editors Charles River

    The Eastern Theater of the Civil War saw the bloodiest and most famous battles, as well as the biggest losses, giving the Iron Brigade a chance to demonstrate its mettle during legendary confrontations with Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, particularly at the battles of Second Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, and Gettysburg. In fact, the brigade suffered the highest percentage of casualties of any brigade in the Civil War, rendering it almost incapable of maintaining a fighting force by June 1864, during the middle of Ulysses S. Grant’s Overland Campaign. 
    General Thomas Jonathan Jackson and his brigade earned the nickname “Stonewall” at First Manassas by turning the tide of that battle, and they would become known as the legendary foot cavalry by bottling up 3 different Union armies in the Shenandoah Valley in 1862. Although Stonewall Jackson and the Stonewall Brigade may share the most famous nickname to come out of the Civil War, it’s still unclear whether Barnard Bee, the general who provided the legendary name at First Manassas, meant it as a complaint that they were not moving or as a compliment for standing resolute in the heat of battle. 
    Regardless, the Stonewall Brigade went on to fight in every major battle in the Eastern theater of the American Civil War, to the extent that of the 6,000 men who fought with the brigade over the course of four years, less than 200 remained by the time General Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865. They were organized, trained, and mentored by one of the most revered military leaders in American history, and they made a decisive impact on battles like First Manassas, the 1862 Valley Campaign, and Chancellorsville. The brigade was virtually a spent force by the end of the Battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse in May 1864, which took place nearly a year after Stonewall Jackson himself had been mortally wounded at Chancellorsville.
