  When Joseph Stalin died in 1953, he had been the unchallenged leader of the Soviet Union for over twenty years, having presided over the ruthless modernisation of the early 1930s, the Great Purges later in the decade, the near-catastrophe and ultimate victory of World War II, and the country's postwar emergence as a superpower. He was surrounded by a cult that made him seem godlike; no successors were in sight. His death was bound to be a deeply unsettling event, both in the Soviet Union and elsewhere.In The Death of Stalin, Sheila Fitzpatrick draws on her unparalleled knowledge of Stalin's circle and Soviet society to tell a tale that blends black comedy with forensic analysis of the problems and opportunities – often missed – created by the death of the dictator. The final chapter deals with Stalin's eventful afterlife, including his recent resurrection in Putin's Russia. This is both a riveting read and a salutary one.---Great Events is a new series of short, scholarly and accessible books on major moments in modern history.

  The Road to Serfdom

  A classic work in political philosophy, intellectual history and economics, The Road to Serfdom has inspired and infuriated politicians and scholars for half a century. Originally published in 1944, it was seen as heretical for its passionate warning against the dangers of state control over the means of production. For Hayek, the collectivist idea of empowering government with increasing economic control would lead not to a utopia but to the horrors of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.

  Mind-Body Connection: The mind-body connection is a profound and dynamic relationship that has captured the attention of scientists, healthcare professionals, and individuals seeking a deeper understanding of their health. This connection underscores how our thoughts, emotions, and mental states influence our physical well-being. From the nervous energy before an important event to the physical toll of chronic stress, it is clear that the mind and body communicate in ways that shape our overall health. This book aims to explore that intricate connection, shedding light on the role emotions play in shaping not just our mental state but also our physical health. 
  Self-Care for Well-Being: In today's fast-paced world, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the demands of daily life. The constant pressures of work, family, relationships, and personal expectations can quickly take a toll on our well-being. In the midst of this, self-care often falls to the bottom of our priority lists, overshadowed by the urgent needs of others or the never-ending tasks on our to-do lists. Yet, self-care is not a luxury; it is a necessity for maintaining physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Self-care is the conscious practice of taking care of oneself—physically, mentally, and emotionally—by engaging in activities that promote well-being. It is about recognizing the need for balance and nurturing our whole self. When we engage in self-care, we are actively choosing to invest in our health and happiness, which in turn enhances our ability to care for others and handle life’s challenges. It’s a practice that requires time, effort, and commitment, but its benefits are immeasurable.

  Underworld in Ancient...

  The concept of death can be viewed from different perspectives. In general terms, it can be defined as the end of life, but a more spiritual interpretation would describe it as the separation of the soul from the body. Regardless of the definition, death implies change and transformation, even if only on a physical level. The idea of transcendence has served as a source of comfort for humanity that is usually represented in the belief of an afterlife which takes place in another realm. 
  	Since the beginning of history, understanding and explaining it has been a large concern for people all over the world. Death is both a daily occurrence and an irreversible condition, and countless efforts have been made to avoid or postpone it. The constant struggle to transcend its permanence has led cultures to create the idea of an afterlife; of a place or world where life carries on after its end on earth. In ancient Mesoamerica, this concept of an afterlife greatly permeated the worldview of the many pre-Hispanic cultures that developed all throughout the region. 
  	Among Mesoamericans, life and death were closely related and often deeply integrated, and the two conditions were perceived to exist in an opposition that was at once dynamic and complementary. Described later by the Aztecs as the state of nepantla, life and death were viewed by the indigenous people of Mesoamerica as yet another example of the “back and forth” fluctuations common to human life.
