Sinopsis

In "From October to Brest-Litovsk," Leon Trotsky presents a comprehensive account of the tumultuous period following the October Revolution of 1917 up to the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in 1918. Written with incisive clarity, this seminal work interweaves personal narrative with political analysis, offering a rich tapestry of events that shaped early Soviet Russia. Trotsky's literary style is characterized by its vigorous rhetoric and deep ideological commitment, effectively immersing the reader in the revolutionary fervor of the time, while also critiquing the internal and external threats to the nascent Bolshevik regime. The work serves as both a historical document and a persuasive argument for the revolutionary principles he espoused, situated firmly within the context of Marxist theory and the global struggle for proletarian empowerment. Leon Trotsky, a key figure in the Bolshevik Revolution and a prominent Marxist theorist, wrote this book during his exile from political power following a power struggle within the Communist Party. His firsthand experience as the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs and his pivotal role in negotiating peace with the Central Powers deeply informed his perspective on the intricacies of revolution and diplomacy. Trotsky's advocacy for permanent revolution and his analysis of historical materialism manifest in this narrative, reflecting both his political ideologies and his disillusionment with factionalism within the Soviet leadership. "From October to Brest-Litovsk" is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the Russian Revolution, negotiating peace amid conflict, and the foundational elements of Bolshevik principles. Trotsky'Äôs insights are as relevant today as ever, making this work not only a historical account but also a critical commentary on the struggle for revolutionary change. This book will enrich the reader's understanding of revolutionary dynamics and the political landscape of the early 20th century.

    Our world is out of balance; so far out of balance we've almost forgotten there was ever an alternative.We know the age-old story of oppression of the Goddess in favour of a patriarchal force, and the ways that same story has played out over the centuries and generations to impact upon all those who identify as women. 
    But what if we were to step back from that story and look at the ways it plays out more broadly too and how we - and our planet - are suffering as a result. 
    Divine Feminism invites us to look deeper at this inequality, and consider the ways that all things considered "feminine" have been treated as less than over the centuries and generations. 
    This book is your invitation to reconnect with those aspects within and for ourselves and the world; to find the sacred balance and flow that lies beyond the dualities society has inflicted upon us and allow them to bring you not only back to yourself, but to a life that helps you remind the world there is another way.

    Nearly every person in the United States is affected by adoption. In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade, the renewed debate over women's reproductive rights places an even greater emphasis on adoption. Wellington's timely—and deeply researched—account amplifies previously marginalized voices and exposes the social and racial biases embedded in the United States' adoption industry. 
     
     
     
    The history of adoption is rarely told from an adoptee's perspective. Wellington remedies this gap by framing the chronicle of adoption in America using her own life story. As she reckons with the pain and unanswered questions of her own experience, she explores broader issues surrounding adoption in the United States, including changing legal policies, sterilization and compulsory relinquishment programs, forced assimilation of babies of color and Indigenous babies adopted into white families, and other liabilities. 
     
     
     
    According to Wellington, US adoption practices in America are shrouded in secrecy, for they frequently cast shame on unmarried women, women struggling with fertility, and "illegitimate" babies and children. As the United States once again finds itself embroiled in heated disputes over women's bodily autonomy Wellington's book offers a unique and much-needed frame of reference.

    This Audiobook edition of 'Bhagavad Gita - Sri Krsna's Illuminations on the Perfection of Yoga' with commentary by Swami B.G. Narasingha is not just another commentary on this profound text. The message of Bhagavad Gita is eternal and unchanging, but the time that surrounds us is always changing, thus our perception of life, our current situation and our necessity is also always changing. To meet the changing times and the present necessity, Swami B.G. Narasingha has presented a brief commentary, or Anuvrtti for our modern world. The clear translation of the original sanskrit with concise commentary for the 21st century makes this edition of Bhagavad-gita very approachable and easy to hear. Bhagavad-gītā is the oldest and most widely read book of theistic science in the world today. Also known as the Gītopaniṣad, the Bhagavad-gītā has been the principle handbook of yoga for more than 5,000 years. In contrast to many mundane literatures of the present day, the Bhagavad-gītā is free from mental speculation and is complete in knowledge of the eternal self (ātmā), the process of bhakti-yoga and the nature and identity of the Absolute Truth, Śrī Kṛṣṇa. As such, the Bhagavad-gītā is the single most important book in the world, surpassing all others in wisdom and enlightenment.
