Sinossi

In "The Civil War," Julius Caesar offers a firsthand account of the conflict between the Roman Republic and its internal factions, deftly navigating the tumultuous political landscape of his time. Written in a lucid and compelling prose style, the text exemplifies the use of direct speech and vivid detail to bring the events to life, revealing not only military strategies but also the socio-political implications of the war. Its importance lies in its dual role as a historical document and a literary masterpiece, echoing the themes of power, loyalty, and betrayal within the greater context of Roman history. Julius Caesar, a military general and politician, draws from his own experiences in the field to craft this narrative, solidifying his position as not only a pivotal figure in Roman history but also as a skilled author. His acute understanding of military tactics, coupled with his political aspirations, significantly informed his portrayal of the events, reflecting his motivations and the complexities of leadership in times of civil strife. Caesar's reflection on his adversaries, such as Pompey, provides deep insight into the personal dynamics that fueled the conflict. For readers interested in the intricacies of power and governance, "The Civil War" serves as an essential text. It not only illuminates the historical circumstances of a pivotal period in Roman history but also invites readers to consider the enduring nature of conflict and the fragility of political alliances. This work is not just a military account but an exploration of human ambition and the moral dilemmas that accompany it.

    3 - It’s a hard name to pronounce, but hey, it’s been the legend of Native American peoples for centuries. Was it a man? Was it a god? Was it a white person? Or was it some animal or strange thing? Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec divine being whose name originates from the Nahuatl language and meaning "valuable snake" or "Quetzal-feathered Snake." "Quetzalcoatl, in its actual sense, means 'snake of valuable plumes,' but in the allegorical sense, 'best of men,'" said Ixtlilxóchitl, a descendant of Aztec royalty and history expert of the Nahua people, in the 17th century. 
    4 - Emiliano Zapata Salazar was a revolutionary in Mexico. He was a key figure in the Mexican Revolt of the years 1910 until 1920, and also the primary leader of the people's revolution in the Mexican state of Morelos and the creator of the Zapatismo agrarian movement.

    ‘Wry and passionate first-hand observations from the global climate negotiations – essential for capturing the spirit of this endlessly frustrating struggle’ – Bill McKibben 
    Most people tend to turn away, perhaps understandably, from the key existential issue of the day: climate change or, some would say more accurately, climate collapse. Nick Breeze tells the engaging, very human story of successive COP conferences over the past decade: it is a tale of imperfection, failure even, but not yet defeat. 
    So far, the UN process has achieved almost the exact opposite of what it first set out to achieve at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992. Nick shows clearly that it is not Extinction Rebellion, Just Stop Oil nor any other climate protesters who are the extremists; the true extremists are the policymakers who consistently undermine faltering efforts to reduce emissions. Repeatedly claiming to be saving us whilst allowing carbon emissions to continue rising, governments have failed their people on climate. Nick shows us how, why and what we can do about it. 
    The public remains largely uninformed about climate change and, for the most part, those who seek to draw attention to the issue are seen as ‘crazy’. There remains a terrifying gap between scientific reality and political action. 
    Packed with his own experiences and insights from expert interviewees, Nick’s page-turning account is less about the intricacies of the science and more about the mainstream perception of how we are understanding and responding to the problem.

In addition to the overwhelming shock, pain, sadness, and grief, you may now feel unsafe in the world, out of control, or unable to carry out basic daily tasks.
