Sinossi

Mysterious Lost Objects explores the intriguing world of items vanished from history, examining their impact on our understanding of the past. From lost treasures to vanished inventions and missing artifacts, the book investigates the circumstances surrounding their disappearance and the void they've left in our collective knowledge. One might be surprised to learn about the Amber Room, a chamber of unparalleled beauty that disappeared during World War II, or the secrets behind Damascus steel, a metalworking technique lost to time. These disappearances prompt us to question established narratives and re-evaluate historical assumptions.

 
The book delves into three core themes, starting with lost treasures like Confederate gold, then shifting to vanished inventions such as Greek Fire, and finally analyzing missing artifacts like the Ark of the Covenant. Each section explores the historical context, known whereabouts, and theories surrounding their disappearances. By drawing upon historical sources, archaeological findings, and technological analyses, Mysterious Lost Objects offers a unique lens through which to examine human history and highlights the enduring fascination with things that are missing.

    Timothy Venning's exploration of the alternative paths that British history might easily have taken moves on to the Wars of the Roses. What if Richard of York had not given battle in vain? How would a victory for Warwick the Kingmaker at the Battle of Barnet changed the course of the struggle for power? What if the Princes had escaped from the tower or the Stanleys had not betrayed their king at Bosworth? These are just a few of the fascinating questions posed by this book. 
     
     
     
    As always, while necessarily speculative, Dr. Venning discusses all the scenarios within the benefit of a deep understanding of the major driving forces, tensions, and trends that shaped British history. In so doing, he helps the listener to understand why things panned out as they did, as well as what might have been in this tumultuous period.

    In Israel and the Cyber Threat, Charles D. ("Chuck") Freilich, Matthew S. Cohen, and Gabi Siboni provide a detailed and comprehensive study of Israel's cyber strategy, tracing it from its origins to the present. They analyze Israel's highly advanced civil and military cyber capabilities and organizational structures to offer insights into what other countries can learn from Israel's experience. To achieve this, they explore how and why Israel has been able to build a remarkable cyber ecosystem and turn itself, despite its small size, into a global cyber power. The book further examines the major cyber threats facing Israel, including the most in-depth look at Iranian cyber policies and attacks; Israel's defensive and offensive capabilities and the primary attacks it has conducted; capacity building; international cooperation; and the impact of Israel's strategic culture on its cyber prowess. By placing Israel's actions in the realm of international relations theory, the book sheds light on many of the major questions in the field regarding cyber policies. 
     
     
     
    The most authoritative work to date on Israeli cyber strategy, this book provides a comprehensive look at the major actions Israel has taken in cyberspace. It also places them in the broader context of global cyber developments to help listeners understand state behavior in cyberspace.

    Beyond the Sphere - Encounters...

    New York City journalist Al Guart is known for breaking stories for the New York Post, whose editors nominated him for the Pulitzer Prize, and for producing investigative segments for CBS News. But now he's broken a 40-year silence to open up about his spiritual life and the transformational experience of Divine Visitation. Judges from the National Indie Excellence Awards and the International Book Awards declared his book, Beyond the Sphere: Encounters with the Divine, among the best books on spirituality. 
    People have reported encounters with God since the beginning of recorded history. Visitations gave rise to every major religion, influencing the hearts and minds of billions of believers. These powerful events are part of the human record, but it is unclear how accurate they are or how frequently they occur. However, reports from those who claim to have encountered Divinity are fairly consistent: There's something unfathomable out there. 
    Al Guart, a committed agnostic, diminished these accounts as possibly the result of overactive imaginations, mental illness, mythology or drugs - until the first of his unexpected encounters in 1980. He kept silent about his experiences, working to integrate them into daily life while trying to fathom how and why they happened. In this ground-breaking book, Al relives two Divine encounters in stark, journalistic detail. Along the way, he takes a hard look at historical accounts of Divine appearances and challenges the renderings of God left in their wake. He offers the fruits of his spiritual inquiries for consideration but encourages readers to seek their own direct contact with the Creator ... and to settle for nothing less.

    Prelude to Philosophy - An...

    "The unexamined life is not worth living," according to Socrates, but pursuing the examined life strikes many as daunting, unappealing and even unnecessary. Is philosophy important? Why do I need philosophy if I have the Bible? Aren't philosophers simply engaged in meaningless disputes that are irrelevant to everyday life? 
     
     
     
    Mark Foreman addresses these and other questions in this "prelude" to the subject. Unlike a full introduction to philosophy, this book is a preliminary discussion that dispels misunderstandings and explains the rationale for engaging in philosophical reasoning. 
     
     
     
    In the first half of the book, Foreman defines the task of philosophy, compares it to other disciplines and demonstrates its practical value to Christians interested in developing a more thoughtful faith. The second half introduces the listener to logic and argumentation, the essential tools of a philosopher. Concise and straightforward, Prelude to Philosophy is a guide for those looking to embark on the "examined life."
