Sinopsis

In "Feeding the Mind," Lewis Carroll weaves a captivating tapestry of whimsy and intellect, merging playful narrative with profound philosophical inquiry. Through clever dialogues and fantastical scenarios, Carroll explores the expansive realms of imagination and thought, inviting readers to reconsider the boundaries of knowledge. His trademark blend of absurdity and logical play creates a unique literary style that not only entertains but also challenges conventional wisdom, echoing the spirit of the Victorian era's burgeoning interest in science, literacy, and the nature of reality. Lewis Carroll, born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was an enigmatic figure whose dual identity as a mathematician and writer profoundly influenced his storytelling. His fascination with language, numbers, and the whimsical tendencies of the human mind are vividly reflected in this work. Carroll's experiences as an educator and his interactions with children provided him with insights into the importance of fostering creativity and critical thinking, which are central themes throughout "Feeding the Mind." This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the intersection of imagination and intellect, as well as for those who seek to understand the intricacies of logic through the lens of playful absurdity. Carroll's enchanting prose offers both a delightful reading experience and a thoughtful commentary on the art of learning, making it an invaluable addition to the literature of both fantasy and philosophy.

    "An unflinching memoir of a spy during a tumultuous time and unsavory alliances. Dobson recounts her recruitment, training, and espionage with rare self-awareness." —Henry R. Schlesinger, author of Honey Trapped 
     
     
     
    From the snowy Soviet shooting range to the heat and dust of Africa, nothing is what it seems. And neither is Sue Dobson. 
     
     
     
    The image of South Africa in the 1980's as the golden paradise on the tip of the African continent conceals a brutal, racist Apartheid regime. Those who oppose it risk their lives. Beauty and brutality go hand in hand. 
     
     
     
    Sue Dobson, a young white South African woman lives a 'legend'—a life where she pretends to conform, moving easily through the echelons of the racist government in her work as a journalist, whilst concealing her espionage and military training in the Soviet Union, and her intelligence work for the banned African National Congress. 
     
     
     
    Matters come to a head when sinister forces try to derail the Namibian independence process and Sue's cover is blown during a difficult honey trap operation, bringing the Cold War to Africa, and leading to her desperate flight across Southern Africa with the Apartheid security police snapping at her heels.

    Sextus Julius Frontinus (c. A.D. 35—103) was one of the most capable administrators in the Roman Empire’s long history.  During his distinguished career, he served at least six emperors in a variety of prestigious offices, including general, consul, governor, proconsul of Asia, and supervisor of aqueducts.  He may have been the longest-serving Roman governor of Britain, a position he held for five years.   
    Frontinus’s military handbook, Stratagems, was likely composed towards the end of the first century A.D.  Intended as a practical manual for military leaders, and drawing from the rich history of Greece and Rome, Stratagems offers a wealth of tactical ruses, ploys, and maneuvers that have been used to gain victory.  His focus is entirely practical:  what must a leader do to win?  Because Frontinus grasps the psychological and moral factors of conflict, his work retains a timeless importance that modern readers will find applicable to nearly every field of endeavor.  
    This new, annotated translation by Quintus Curtius returns to the original Latin text to present Frontinus in a contemporary idiom to a modern audience.  Containing an explanatory introduction, a discussion of the text, hundreds of footnotes, a bibliography, and an extensive index, this translation aims to assist a new generation of readers in rediscovering an essential classic of strategic thought.

    Slomo Venezia was born into a poor Jewish-Italian community living in Thessaloniki, Greece. At first, the occupying Italians protected his family; but when the Germans invaded, the Venezias were deported to Auschwitz. His mother and sisters disappeared on arrival, and he learned, at first with disbelief, that they had almost certainly been gassed. Given the chance to earn a little extra bread, he agreed to become a 'Sonderkommando', without realizing what this entailed. He soon found himself a member of the 'special unit' responsible for removing the corpses from the gas chambers and burning their bodies. 
     
     
     
    Dispassionately, he details the grim round of daily tasks, evokes the terror inspired by the man in charge of the crematoria, 'Angel of Death' Otto Moll, and recounts the attempts made by some of the prisoners to escape, including the revolt of October 1944. 
     
     
     
    It is usual to imagine that none of those who went into the gas chambers at Auschwitz ever emerged to tell their tale—but, as a member of a 'Sonderkommando', Shlomo Venezia was given this horrific privilege. He knew that, having witnessed the unspeakable, he in turn would probably be eliminated by the SS in case he ever told his tale. He survived: this is his story.
