Summary

In "The Crisis of the Naval War: British Royal Navy in World War I," John Rushworth Jellicoe offers a meticulous examination of the Royal Navy's strategic operations during the Great War. Written with a blend of firsthand experience and analytical rigor, Jellicoe's prose combines narrative clarity with tactical detail, illuminating crucial events such as the Battle of Jutland. As a primary source from a pivotal wartime figure, the book situates Jellicoe's perspectives within the broader context of military strategy and naval history, reflecting on the challenges faced by naval leadership amid unprecedented global conflict. Jellicoe, who served as the commander of the Grand Fleet, draws upon his unique insights and experiences to illuminate the complexities of naval warfare. His firsthand involvement in key naval engagements, alongside his eventual shift into governmental roles, uniquely qualifies him to dissect the nuances of naval command. His upbringing in an era marked by rapid naval innovation and geopolitical tensions further fuels his engagement with the pressing issues of strategy and leadership during wartime. This work is an essential read for anyone interested in naval history, military strategy, or World War I. Jellicoe's authoritative voice provides not only a comprehensive analysis of the Royal Navy's wartime actions but also valuable lessons on command and decision-making that resonate with contemporary strategic studies.

    The fifty poems collected in Gillian Bickley’s Over The Years have been chosen by Verner Bickley from her five previously published collections. 
    “Sensitive, serious, sincere and sometimes a little sad...." (Dumitru M. Ion ( Romania), Member of the Arts and Sciences Academy in R. Macedonia, etc.,2014) 
    "Driven by curiosity as a poet but also by responsibility as the president of "The International Festival Curtea de Argeş Poetry Nights" in Romania (There have been twenty editions, attended in total by over fifteen hundred guests from about a hundred countries), I read and translate the lyrics of hundreds of poets. That's how I discovered the exceptional poet Gillian Bickley from Hong Kong. What firstly drew my attention was the savant level of her poetry; the science of balancing the rational with the sentiment. Each of her poems is sometimes a small novel, an essay or at other times a lyrical sublimate. Her poems are remembrances: from the past (an ancient past, a medieval past, and so on), from her own past or a possible reader's past. The way of shaping her poetry especially fascinates the professional reader. Because, of course, a professional poet (as Gillian Bickley is) will always need a professional reader.” – Dumitru M. Ion, 2016.

    Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award Finalist
    "So what are you? Go back where you belong!"
    Majority white American culture has historically marginalized people of color, who at times feel invisible and alienated and at other times are traumatized by oppression and public discrimination. This reality leads to a particular kind of aloneness: ethnic and racial loneliness.
    An Indian American immigrant who grew up in white Southern culture, Prasanta Verma names and sheds light on the realities of ethnic loneliness. She unpacks the exhausting effects of cultural isolation, the dynamics of marginalization, and the weight of being other. In the midst of disconnection and erasure, she points to the longing to belong, the need to share our stories, and the hope of finding safe friendships and community. Our places of exile can become places where we find belonging—to ourselves, to others, and to God.

    Discover who your really are. Transcending Anxiety, Fear, and Depression Without Techniques or Skills – A Self-Help Guide to Rediscover Life's Essence.Have you ever truly pondered the most fundamental questions of life? Who are you anyway? What is this place we call the Universe? What is reality?As midlife came about, drained and unfulfilled despite being fairly successful, I was almost done . From the outside, my life looked usual, positive, but inside - there was a whole different story.During my life journey, extraordinary encounters propelled me onto a path of deep exploration that concerns the nature of reality. It led me to the crossroads of spirituality, philosophy, science, psychology and even the veiled territory of the psychedelic realm, all in pursuit of understanding the very essence of myself.In a span of years, I delved into the depths of my mind, confronting its enigmatic corners, including the dark ones, in a search for clarity.I’m not a scientist or a mystic. You could say that I’m a philosopher that went outside the perimeters of the institution to test out his philosophy in real life, or in other words, I live by what I say. This is my experience, my self-evident interaction with the universe on a daily basis over a lifetime of almost 40 years.I’m here not to create another belief system but rather to make you question yours.This book could be interpreted as a self-help guide, a spiritual journey, or a philosophical discourse. However, I believe that within the words of "Behind the Mask, Beyond the Mind," readers can discover themselves, or provoke deep questions. In this sense, this book represents a dialogue between you and me; I pose questions, and you respond within yourself. Through honest conversations, we can come to perceive reality as it truly is, and as a result, celebrate, accept, and love ourselves just as we are.

Rather than sensationalism, the work offers calm, methodical guidance intended to strengthen the listener’s psychological and spiritual resilience.
