Sinopsis

In "The Battle of the Somme 'Äì First & Second Phase (Complete Edition 'Äì Volumes 1&2)," John Buchan delivers a meticulously crafted historical account of one of World War I's most pivotal battles. Through a blend of vivid imagery and compelling narrative, Buchan captures both the grand strategies and the human experiences of soldiers on the front lines. His literary style is marked by a rich, descriptive language that evokes the grim realities of warfare while also exploring the psychological implications for both combatants and the broader society. Situated within the context of early 20th-century literature, Buchan'Äôs work serves as both a historical document and a reflection on the human spirit amidst conflict. John Buchan, a prominent Scottish author, politician, and soldier, drew upon his own experiences and insights to write this important historical text. His background in law and journalism provided him with a keen analytical perspective on the military and societal ramifications of the war. Notably, Buchan's service as a soldier during World War I informed his understanding of the battlefield realities, enabling him to present a nuanced view of the Somme offensive that is both personal and informative. This comprehensive edition is highly recommended for readers seeking a deeper understanding of the Great War's complexities. Buchan'Äôs vivid narrative not only enriches the historical landscape but also prompts reflection on themes of sacrifice, heroism, and the enduring impacts of war. Ideal for both scholars and casual readers alike, it stands as an essential contribution to World War I literature.

    Old Gods New Enigmas - Marx's...

    Marx has returned, but which Marx? Recent biographies have proclaimed him to be an emphatically nineteenth-century figure, but in this book, Mike Davis's first directly about Marx and Marxism, a thinker comes to light who speaks to the present as much as the past. In a series of searching, propulsive essays, Davis, the bestselling author of City of Quartz and recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, explores Marx's inquiries into two key questions of our time: Who can lead a revolutionary transformation of society? And what is the cause—and solution—of the planetary environmental crisis? 
     
    Davis consults a vast archive of labor history to illuminate new aspects of Marx's theoretical texts and political journalism. He offers a "lost Marx," whose analyzes of historical agency, nationalism, and the "middle landscape" of class struggle are crucial to the renewal of revolutionary thought in our darkening age. Davis presents a critique of the current fetishism of the "anthropocene," which suppresses the links between the global employment crisis and capitalism's failure to ensure human survival in a more extreme climate. In a finale, Old Gods, New Enigmas looks backward to the great forgotten debates on alternative socialist urbanism (1880–1934) to find the conceptual keys to a universal high quality of life in a sustainable environment.

The aftereffects—depression, anxiety, addiction, panic attacks, insomnia, and more—can affect us for years or even a lifetime. But the brokenness following a traumatic event is never a life sentence. We are all changed by trauma, but we do not have to be defined by it. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on cutting-edge research, Triumph over Trauma empowers you to find relief and hope once and for all.

    For 2,000 years, since it pierced the side of Christ, the Spear of Destiny has been invested with amazing occult powers. This book records the legend and its continuing fulfillment in the decline of the Roman Empire, the Dark Ages, and the 20th century. It tells the story of the chain of men who possessed the Spear, from Herod the Great the Adolf Hitler, and how they sought to change the face of history by wielding its occult powers for good or evil. The Spear of Destiny is identified as the Spear of the Holy Grail mentioned in the sagas of the Dark Ages and shows the Grail to be a uniquely Western path to mind expansion—as applicable today as it was at the courts of King Arthur and Charlemagne. The final chapters of this book describe a Manichean battle of worlds behind the changing scene of the 20th century. And for the first time the Satanic occult development and faculties of Adolf Hitler are described in authentic and documented detail, showing how he furthered him aims and his conquest of the world by black magic practices. As a bonus feature a rare interview with the author is included.

    Dublin's teeming slums, long regarded as the worst in Europe, were teetering on the brink of structural and sanitary public catastrophe during the early twentieth century. To tackle the crisis, Herbert Simms was appointed the city's first housing architect. During a sixteen-year period, from 1932 until 1948, Simms and his team planned, commissioned and built an astounding 17,000 homes –some as inner-city flat complexes, others as family houses in newly-created suburbs such as Crumlin and Cabra.
    Like the city's acclaimed Georgian squares, the Simms-designed Corporation flats in particular have stood the test of time, injecting a touch of art deco and modernist glamour to neglected neighbourhoods. This comprehensive guide to the Simms buildings also highlights the many struggles with politicians and bureaucrats Simms and his staff experienced as they did their best to build well-designed, affordable housing for the people of Dublin.
