  Includes maps, photos, and firsthand accounts of participants: “There is no better book on this vital chapter in American history.” —Terry Copp, author of Fields of Fire   Combining the personal recollections of soldiers with historical narrative and analysis of the actual invasion as it unfolded, this detailed description of the action at Omaha Beach during the Normandy invasion of World War II comes from “the top living D-Day historian” (USA Today).   “Anyone who wants to know anything about Omaha Beach, where the fighting was heaviest and bloodiest, must begin with this foundational book…The research is unparalleled and comprehensive enough to satisfy even the most skeptical scholar, yet the story is absorbing. The carnage of Omaha Beach comes to life with vivid contemporary descriptions from participants and witnesses, while the whole tale is deftly steered along by Balkoski’s steady narration and his sense of the battle’s larger significance. ‘History can provide at least a little solace that there was some meaning to it all,’ he writes movingly. ‘D-Day was the decisive chapter of a twentieth century Iliad.’ Indeed it was—and Balkoski is its Homer.” —The Wall Street Journal   “Balkoski makes officer and enlisted-men’s first-person testimony the center of this account.” —Publishers Weekly   “Intensely researched and definitive.” —Army magazine   “Balkoski’s depiction of ‘Bloody Omaha’ is the literary accompaniment to the white-knuckle Omaha Beach scene that opens Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan.” —The New York Post   “The best D-Day-related book I have read.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

  On Drugs - Psychedelics...

  Justin Smith-Ruiu

  • 0

  “Like the best psychedelic experiences, On Drugs estranges the familiar, familiarizes the strange, and returns us to reality (whatever that is) with a broadened sense of the possible. Justin Smith-Ruiu is simply one of the most interesting thinkers alive, and he has found an ideal subject for his peculiar brand of brilliance.”—Christopher Beha, author of The Index of Self-Destructive Acts 
    
  In the late, post-lockdown days of the pandemic, grappling with personal loss and existential uncertainty, Justin Smith-Ruiu found himself standing in a California cannabis dispensary, pondering a question his tribe of fellow philosophers have often dismissed as too simple: How did I get here? That moment marked a transition for him—it was the start of a journey Smith-Ruiu would take to experience his own mind and the world around him in a new, clarifying way.  
    
  On Drugs blends autobiography, intellectual history, and philosophical inquiry to explore the transformative impact of psychedelics on human consciousness and thought. Drawing on his personal experiences as “an articulate guinea pig,” Smith-Ruiu argues that psychedelics upend our assumptions about the nature of reality—and thus force a reckoning with the very foundations of Western philosophy.  
    
  Provocative, profound, and deeply personal, On Drugs points toward a radically new way of thinking about the world and our capacity to understand it.

  Abridgment of The Oqual Cycle:...

  Today, almost every nation is teetering on the brink of a societal meltdown as it finds itself in the midst of a sociopolitical upheaval, the like of which has not hitherto been witnessed in our lifetime. 
  Yet, hardly anyone realizes that like a winter that returns every year, such a concerted turmoil across the globe is also periodic due to what I have dubbed the "oqual cycle". 
  On the basis of scientific reasoning and mathematical modeling of history over the past 600 years, the oqual cycle posits that human civilization seemingly undergoes a sweeping global reset once every 84 years on average in order to purge itself of a plethora of wrongdoings from the societal ills through excesses and imbalances to transgressions amassed over that multidecadal period. 
  Unfortunately, there is no free music as one must pay the piper. 
  Indeed, such a societal reboot is typically accomplished through a global conflict with the potential to not only wreak havoc but also strike fear into the hearts and minds of people on an apocalyptic scale so that they can put their sociopolitical differences aside and come together for the common good of the world at large. 
  The oqual cycle therefore lends human society a subtle albeit deadly mechanism to break ties with its dysfunctional past in order to begin anew rather than being held hostage from moving forward under its own weight, or even worse, continue down the rabbit hole in perpetuity with the potential for self-destruction. 
  Taken together, Abridgment of The Oqual Cycle is a must-read for everyone in that it will not only transform your worldview but it will also become your best companion to guide you as you navigate the dire fallout from the ongoing sociopolitical upheaval over the next decade or so and when you can expect to see everything around you to be hunky-dory once again like the good old days from the second half of 20th century.

  "Emile, or On Education" is a novel written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau and published in 1762. The book is a treatise on education and focuses on the development of a single individual, Emile, from infancy to adulthood. 
  Rousseau's novel is notable for its emphasis on natural education, or the idea that children should be allowed to learn through their own experiences and interactions with the world around them. The book is divided into five sections, each of which focuses on a different stage of Emile's life and the corresponding education he should receive. 
  In the first section, Rousseau argues that children should be allowed to develop naturally and that their education should be based on their own interests and abilities. He also emphasizes the importance of physical education and the need for children to learn through play. 
  In the second section, Rousseau discusses the importance of developing Emile's sense of morality and character, emphasizing the need for him to learn to be honest, courageous, and independent. 
  The third section focuses on Emile's intellectual education, including the importance of developing his reasoning abilities and critical thinking skills. 
  In the fourth section, Rousseau discusses Emile's social education, including his interactions with other people and the importance of developing his empathy and understanding of others. 
  Finally, in the fifth section, Rousseau discusses the importance of Emile's religious education and the role that religion should play in his life. 
  Overall, "Emile, or On Education" is a significant work in the history of educational philosophy, and it continues to be studied and debated by scholars and educators today.
