  The Shocking Truth about...

  Zoey Fraisers

  Environmental conservation has long been portrayed as a noble and essential pursuit—one aimed at safeguarding the planet's ecosystems and securing a sustainable future. From tree planting campaigns to the protection of endangered species, the image of environmentalism has often been one of hope and progress. Yet beneath this well-crafted narrative lies a complex, often uncomfortable truth that few are willing to confront. Despite decades of environmental initiatives, the state of our planet continues to deteriorate at an alarming rate, and many of the efforts we believe are making a difference may, in fact, be little more than a facade. 
    
  The shocking reality is that many conservation efforts, though well-intentioned, have been ineffective or even counterproductive. Corporate interests, government policies, and misleading claims about “green” products have created an illusion of progress while exacerbating the very problems they are supposed to address. Major corporations, under the guise of corporate social responsibility, engage in environmental degradation on an unprecedented scale, often using conservation as a marketing tool to distract from their harmful practices. In parallel, governments, despite claiming to prioritize environmental issues, often fall short in enacting meaningful change due to political and economic pressures. 
    
  Furthermore, the term "conservation" itself is often misused, with projects that promise to restore ecosystems sometimes masking the exploitation of natural resources. While wildlife preservation and habitat restoration are vital components of environmental protection, they are frequently treated as standalone solutions that fail to address the root causes of environmental destruction, such as overconsumption and industrial pollution.

  " Putin is making the same mistakes that doomed Hitler when he invaded the Soviet Union." – Reviewer 
  A Gripping and Riveting Short History of Operation Barbarossa 
  In just four weeks in the summer of 1941, the German Wehrmacht wrought unprecedented destruction on four Soviet armies. They conquered central Ukraine, killing or capturing three-quarters of a million men. 
  This is an informative and insightful military history of the Battles of Kyiv and Leningrad as well as Hitler's march on Moscow. This was one of the largest and most decisive battles of World War II and, for Hitler and Stalin, a battle of crucial importance. Daniel Wrinn charts the battle's dramatic course and aftermath, uncovering the irreplaceable losses suffered by Germany's "panzer groups" despite their battlefield gains, and the implications of these losses for the German war effort.

  The Principal Speeches of...

  Demosthenes

  Demosthenes (384-322 BCE) is regarded as one of the greatest orators of Classical times. This view has persisted through the centuries even though his rousing speeches warning of the dangers of Macedonian expansion - firstly guided by Philip II and then Alexander the Great - failed to stem the course of continued military success. 
   
  A contemporary of Plato and Aristotle, it is said that Demosthenes undertook arduous measures to cure himself of a stammer by speaking with pebbles in his mouth and perfecting breath control. Starting as a speech writer, he made his mark at an unusually young age (for the time), delivering his first major public speech at the age of 30, advising Athens to build its naval fleet as a defence against the Persians. In fact, it was the ambition of Philip of Macedon that would prove the principal threat. This was recognised by Demosthenes, as shown by the main speeches included in this collection. 
   
  In the 'Three Olynthiac Orations', Demosthenes outlined the tactics of Philip’s aggression towards Olynthus, an ally of Athens. He urged support for the smaller state, but his words went unheeded until it was too late. Demosthenes’s increasingly unrestrained language - at one point he calls Philip ‘a barbarian’ - did not endear him to the Macedonian regime. 
   
  The 'Olynthiac Orations' are followed by the 'Three Philippics', which chart further military activity by the aforementioned Philip. In between the second and third 'Philippics' comes ‘On the Peace’: a speech given during a short diplomatic space engineered by Philip, but which Demosthenes clearly highlighted as an armistice rather than anything permanent. This ‘Philip’ section ends with ‘The Oration on the Letter'. Philip sent a letter to Athens, which implied that war, again, was imminent. Demosthenes responded with characteristic boldness. 
   
  The final speech on this recording is ‘On the Crown’, addressing a very different matter. The Athenian statesman Ctesiphon proposed that Demosthenes should be honoured with the ‘golden crown’ for his service to the city. This was opposed by Aeschines, a long-standing enemy of Demosthenes in Athenian politics. In the court case that followed (330 BCE), Demosthenes successfully defended Ctesiphon in a speech later described as ‘the greatest speech of the greatest orator in the world'. 
   
  Each of the orations in this collection is preceded with an introduction setting the scene, and outlining the context in which they were delivered. This also gives a concise picture of Athens at this difficult point in its history. Eight years later, when in danger of being captured and imprisoned by the young Alexander who was angered by decades of eloquent and unrestrained opposition, Demosthenes committed suicide. All the speeches are prefaced by the historical setting. Translations by Arthur Wallace Pickard and Charles Rann Kennedy.

  America's most popular progressive radio host and New York Times bestselling author explores the fall of the American Dream and the steps we can take to bring it back. 
   
   
   
  The widening wealth gap is all too familiar to many Millennials and GenZers, especially when home ownership and the lack of debt seem like faraway fantasies. And it's no surprise when they only hold about 4.6% of the country's wealth while Boomers held 22% at around the same age. So what happened to the promise of the American Dream? 
   
   
   
  In this new, final entry of his celebrated Hidden History series, Thom Hartmann uncovers the rise of the American middle class through the progressive policies of FDR, through to its downfall with the increasing privatization and economic deregulations of the Reagan era. 
   
   
   
  He also explores potential solutions including wealth and inheritance taxes to lessen economic inequality, supporting unions through increasing labor rights, and renationalizing public spaces and transportation. 
   
   
   
  The American Dream often remains just a dream for many, but this book highlights what needs to be done to take it back and help make it a reality for us all.
