Sinopsis

In 'The Apache Expedition in the Sierra Madre' by John Gregory Bourke, the author provides a comprehensive account of his experiences during his military service in the American West. Bourke meticulously documents the rugged terrain of the Sierra Madre mountains and the elusive Apache tribes living in the region. His vivid descriptions and firsthand observations offer valuable insight into the complexities of Native American-European American interactions during the late 19th century. Bourke's writing style is both informative and engaging, making this book a valuable resource for scholars and history enthusiasts interested in the Apache Wars and frontier warfare. Through detailed accounts of military strategies and cultural encounters, Bourke sheds light on the challenges faced by both the Apache people and the US Army. Born in 1846, Bourke's military background as a cavalry officer provides him with a unique perspective on the events he describes in the book. His intimate knowledge of military tactics and Apache customs enriches the narrative and offers a nuanced portrayal of the conflict. I highly recommend 'The Apache Expedition in the Sierra Madre' to anyone interested in the history of the American West, Native American studies, or military history.

    "Looking Backward: 2000–1887" is a utopian novel by Edward Bellamy, a journalist and writer from Massachusetts. It was the third largest bestseller of its time, after Uncle Tom's Cabin and Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. It influenced many intellectuals, and appears by title in many socialist writings of the day. "It is one of the few books ever published that created almost immediately on its appearance a political mass movement". The novel also inspired several utopian communities.

    What's Out of Order Here? -...

    "What makes this book special is the richness of the illustrations of how symptoms of illness embody concrete events in a family and how family constellations can bring this to light with a respect that allows symptoms to recede and disappear. As far as I am aware, this has never before been identified and illustrated so clearly. This book is a first class pioneering effort. Alongside new insights, it also details the concrete steps that have led to new and often surprising resolutions."
    
    Bert Hellinger
    
    When a machine is out of order, we look for the broken part and attempt repairs. When something goes awry with the human mind, body and spirit, we need to look with a more holistic view for solutions. This book presents the experiences of a physician and psychotherapist who has gone far beyond the 'parts repair' approach to medical treatment to look not only at the whole person, but also the entire family system using the method of family constellations.
    
    The book is comprised of two parts. The first is a basic explanation of the approach, which was first developed by Bert Hellinger. In the second part of the book, practical applications of the method are documented in a wide variety of case studies. Illness and symptoms are viewed in the context of larger systems, and constellations are used to identify disturbances and restore a more health-supporting order.
    
    This report on the method of family constellations is a fascinating trip through theory and practice that offers a new concept of healing for lay readers as well as professionals.
    The Authors:
    Ilse Kutschera, M. D., born in Vienna, Austria in 1936, studied medicine in Graz. She worked as a physician until 1998, when she retired from her position as head of a rehabilitation clinic to devote her time to her private psychotherapy practice. During her career, she had developed a keen interest in psychotherapy and trained in various approaches including primal therapy, transactional analysis, gestalt therapy, NLP and Bert Hellinger's constellation work. This book is an expression of her interest in integrating psychotherapy and classical medicine.
    Christine Brugger, born in Germany in 1962, is head of a radio station in the East Tyrol in Austria. Through her friendship with Dr Kutschera, she became interested in writing about constellation work in the medical field. The book is the result of many interviews, discussions and recorded case histories.

    Power has always been a driving force behind the world's greatest shifts, shaping nations, economies, and cultures. While political leaders and public figures often take the spotlight, true power often lies in the hands of those who operate behind the scenes. These individuals, families, and organizations wield influence not through democratic processes, but through wealth, strategic connections, and the ability to manipulate societal frameworks. Understanding this hidden power structure is crucial to grasping how the world truly functions. 
      
    Wealth has long been a powerful tool for control, enabling elites to shape policies, industries, and even social norms. Financial empires built by powerful banking families, corporate giants, and investment firms have grown to dominate global economies. Their influence extends far beyond Wall Street or corporate boardrooms — it reaches into political systems, media narratives, and cultural trends. Those with the greatest financial resources have the capacity to mold the world to their advantage, often with little public awareness. 
      
    Secret societies, elite networks, and exclusive organizations further strengthen these power structures. Groups like the Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission, and other closed-door forums provide platforms for powerful individuals to collaborate and strategize. While their intentions may vary, these groups foster an environment where a select few can guide global agendas without public scrutiny. This covert decision-making shapes economic trends, diplomatic relations, and social movements in ways that are difficult to trace.

    The Sports Palace speech was the climax of a campaign for 'total war'; the prime example of Nazi 'mass suggestion', a barrage of propaganda, seduction, and manipulation. 
     
    On the 18th of February 1943 Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels made a speech in the Berlin Sports Palace that is regarded as one of the most chilling, and at the same time most effective, rhetorical performances of the twentieth century. 
     
    In this definitive English translation, renowned historian Peter Longerich delves into the historical buildup to Goebbels's most notorious speech, the speech itself, and its lasting effect. Goebbels and 'Total War' singles out the Sports Palace speech to demystify the legend of Nazi propaganda by exposing the reality of the rally as a highly staged and prerecorded event, with a preselected audience and rehearsed reactions made to look spontaneous. For Goebbels, this spectacle was not only his chance to raise support for 'total war' in the German public but also the ultimate test to prove himself to his 'Führer'. Longerich traces Goebbels's path to 'total war' from his questionable demagogue skills and his tenuous relationship with Hitler, to the nation's losing battle at the front, and finally to total defeat.

    Crucibles - How Formidable Rites...

    Throughout human history, civilizations have stratified their citizens, often by establishing royal, priestly, executive, or warrior castes. Many who have achieved elite-level power joined their civilizations' premier organizations not through birthright or sociopolitical attainment, but rather by completing codified rites of passage that demonstrated their exceptional physical, spiritual, or psychological capabilities, and their deep commitment to their cultures. 
     
     
     
    Crucibles: History's Most Formidable Rites of Passage explores fourteen elite organizations, with a special emphasis on the onerous trials designed to cull initiates from aspirants. It analyzes the underlying commonalities of such trials, describing how they work, why people are willing to subject themselves to such rigors, and how such tests benefit or harm the organizations that require them. 
     
     
     
    Crucibles distills both positive and negative perspectives on tests and trials into actionable concepts which may be deployed in modern business, social, academic, or political spheres. In a time where there is a long-overdue focus on the ethical roles and responsibilities of cultural gatekeepers, Crucibles stands as a valuable resource for leaders and managers seeking to convert historic practices into useful, moral, and legal modern policies.
