  The Greek general and king, Alexander the Great, is a name you might have heard before. Although his historical journey varies greatly from the stories and rumors about him, he did accomplish many victories in Asia and Europe in his conquest to rule the world. 
  In this guide, we will go over his appearance, his character, his many battles, his clever military strategies, and the regions he conquered. His vast empire stretched farther than much else had before his time. But eventually, it became divided, and the throne was being fought over. This was one of the things that shows us how much of a difference he made as a ruler in his empire.

  How Russians, the Rich and the Government Try to Prevent Free Speech and How to Stop Them. 
  ‘ESSENTIAL’ Amal Clooney 
  ‘AUTHORITATIVE’ Sir Geoffrey Bindman KC 
  ‘IMPORTANT ’Baroness Helena Kennedy KC 
  ‘COULD HARDLY BE MORE TIMELY’ Alan Rusbridger 
  The British tradition of “free speech” is a myth. From the middle ages to the present, the law of defamation has worked to cover up misbehaviour by the rich and powerful, whose legal mercenaries intimidate investigative journalists. 
  Now a new terror has been added through misguided judicial development of the laws of privacy, breach of confidence and data protection, to suppress the reporting of truths of public importance to tell. 
  Drawing upon the author’s unparalleled experience of defending journalists and editors in English and Commonwealth courtrooms over the past half-century, the book describes the hidden world of lawfare, in which authors struggle against unfair rules that put them always on the defensive and against a costs burden that runs to millions. Law schools do not teach freedom of speech and judges in the Supreme Court do not understand it. 
  This book identifies and advocates the reforms that will be necessary before Britain can truly boast that it is a land of free speech, rather than a place where free speech can come very expensive. 
  Robertson's latest exploration into media censorship is a political exposé of the new forms of litigation. His best work yet, it is a must-read for anyone interested in the fight for free speech. 
  For fans of Anne Applebaum (Autocracy, Inc), Mariana Mazzucato (The Big Con), Ian Dunt (How Westminster Works . . . and Why It Doesn't), Bob Woodward (The Trump Tapes), and Oliver Bullough (The Last Man in Russia).

  What's the secret to lasting happiness? How do you gain the resilience needed to weather life's inevitable storms? For ancient philosophers like Socrates, Marcus Aurelius, Zeno, and Epictetus, these questions were more than mere musings—they were key elements of a school of thought called Stoicism. 
   
   
   
  In The Stoicism Workbook, you'll learn how thinking like Socrates can help you identify what truly matters in your life, and build the resilience needed to go and get it! Combining ancient philosophical wisdom with modern psychology, this practical self-help workbook will help you think flexibly, maintain inner peace, adapt to difficult situations, and improve your overall mental health and well-being. You'll also discover how the core Stoic virtues can be your compass as you navigate an increasingly uncertain world. 
   
   
   
  Stoicism isn't about being emotionless in the face of pain or suffering. It's about giving yourself space for reflection before reacting. It's about seeing opportunities in everyday challenges. It's about wielding the power to decide to what extent sadness, pain, and anger affect you. 
   
   
   
  Let this workbook guide you to learn more, and put this ancient wisdom into practice every day.

  Black History - The History of...

  This book contains 2 topics, which are subdivided into a first and second section. The topics are these: 
  Topic 1: The history of African-Americans has been complicated and controversial. While some will fight against racism, others deny the severity of it throughout the ages. Whether or not the issue is as serious as it used to be, is a separate topic for debate. 
  In this guide, you will not read much about opinions but about facts. Society has come a long way since the inauguration of slavery and suppression of the minority in the United States. As leaders stood up and laws have been adjusted one by one, more freedoms have been secured to what nowadays constitutes about 10-20% of the population. Whether it’s enough, is another question that divides political enthusiasts. 
  You will learn more about the first slavery, the rise of the cotton market in the southern states, the abolitionism of slavery, the separation, and individuals like Martin Luther King and Malcolm X who have made a significant impact on the common perspective on these issues. Many things have changed over the past two centuries. Let’s find out what. 
  Topic 2: The Haitian Revolution has played a big role in the history of abolishing slavery. Its significant influence on the Civil War in the United States in the 1860s has probably been underestimated by many. 
  The English and French already had conflicts elsewhere, and the Napoleon wars greatly contributed to these disagreements. Aside from that, the nation of Haiti was still in its early stages, with plantations being populated by African slaves the settlers had captured and brought into servitude. Abuse and exploitation were common faces in many people’s lives, but the Haitian Revolution brought many changes to that.
