Sinopsis

Rus Origins explores the fascinating genesis of Russia, focusing on the evolution from disparate Eastern Slavic and Viking tribes to the powerful Kievan Rus. The book investigates the complex interplay of cultures and influences that shaped this formative period, offering insights into early Russian history and its broader impact on Slavic civilization and medieval Europe. It examines the pre-state societies of the Eastern Slavs, Norse (Varangian) influence, and the cultural and political transformations that defined Kievan Rus.One intriguing aspect covered is the "route from the Varangians to the Greeks," a vital trade route that facilitated cultural and economic exchange. The book also delves into the adoption of Orthodox Christianity and the development of the legal code, "Russkaya Pravda," highlighting key achievements of Kievan Rus.Addressing the "Normanist controversy," the book offers a balanced perspective on the extent of Viking influence, emphasizing cultural exchange and political negotiation rather than simple domination. The book adopts a comprehensive approach, integrating archaeological findings, Byzantine sources, and early Slavic chronicles. It progresses by first examining pre-state societies, then the arrival and role of the Varangians, and finally, the cultural and political achievements of Kievan Rus. This makes Rus Origins a valuable resource for students, history enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to understand the roots of Russian civilization.

    The history of America cannot be told without the history of religion, the history of American religion cannot be told without the history of Catholicism, and the history of Catholicism in America cannot be told without the history of Jesuits in America. 
     
     
     
    Jesuits in the United States offers a panoramic overview of the Jesuit order in the United States from the colonial era to the present. David J. Collins, SJ, describes the development of the Jesuit order in the US against the background of American religious, cultural, and social history. He covers the papacy's suppression of the order and its restoration period. The author also compares Jesuit activities in the US to those in Europe and, by the twentieth century, to those around the world, as the political and religious connections between the US and the world, especially Latin America, grow. Collins also reflects on the future of the order in light of its past. 
     
     
     
    Listeners familiar with the Jesuit tradition and those who are new to it will learn from this book's distinctive and modern perspective—using twenty-first century scholarship on Jesuit slaveholding, the sexual abuse crisis, and other contemporary issues—on 500 years of Jesuit history in the United States.

    An essay collection on the importance of critical thought, from one of the foremost Chinese intellectuals of the 1990s. 
     
      
     
    Wang Xiaobo's Pleasure of Thinking is an essay collection as riotous as it is contemplative. Between rollicking anecdotes about living between the East and West and serious musings on the intellectual situations at home and abroad, Xiaobo examines modern life with the levity missing from so much of today's politico-cultural discourse. 
     
     
      
    In "The Maverick Pig," he considers the existential differences between humans and livestock. In "Tales From Abroad: Food," he recounts the culture shock of discovering American diets while studying at Carnegie Mellon. Several pieces focus on literature, with notable essays devoted to Italo Calvino, Bertrand Russell, and Ernest Hemingway, whom Xiaobo admired greatly. Others are more personal in nature, ranging from a meditation on getting mugged, to the consideration of the question: why do I write? 
     
     
      
    Controversial, hilarious, and inimitable, Pleasure of Thinking is a delightful celebration of Wang Xiaobo's unique critical perspective.

    "All, Everything That I Understand, I Understand Only Because I Love."
    
    Leo Tolstoy stands as a giant of the literary world, a writer whose work is so vast and deeply human that it feels like life itself. Known for his ability to capture the grand movements of history alongside the most intimate flickers of the human heart, Tolstoy's novels are essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of society, faith, and the soul. This comprehensive collection spans his entire novelistic career, from his early semi-autobiographical reflections to his massive historical epics and later spiritual awakenings.
    
    The Architect of the Human Soul: Tolstoy's genius lay in his "psychological realism"—the ability to portray characters with such depth and nuance that they transcend the page. His work explores the tension between the individual and the state, the search for meaning in a world of suffering, and the transformative power of love and simplicity. Whether he is documenting the Napoleonic Wars or the tragic constraints of aristocratic marriage, Tolstoy's prose remains a masterclass in observation and empathy.
    
    Tolstoy's influence on the world extends far beyond literature, impacting the thoughts of figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. This volume is the definitive cornerstone for any library of world classics, historical fiction, and philosophical literature.
    
    Experience the full breadth of a master. Buy "The Complete Novels of Leo Tolstoy" today and journey through the heart of the human experience.

    Fifteen Out of the Box Ideas...

    The world is not as we think it is. We are taught standard accepted beliefs from birth and many of them are not correct or a misunderstanding of the truth. 
    Who am I to say so? At this writing I’m nearly seventy years old and I’ve spent my life observing reality as an engineer and explorer of the unknown. 
    I’ve had many weird and paranormal experiences and done lots of research. Many patterns have made themselves known to me and this is why I make these types of statements. 
    This book is an effort to shed light on these misunderstandings and change your perception of the world we live in. 
    Much of what I will relate is based on my subjective experiences and research many would say does not conform to the accepted scientific method yet you will see that my observations make a lot of common sense. 
    Some of these concepts have been around for thousands of years but are not commonly accepted today. My effort is to show you why these ideas are likely true and how these concepts also are built on to provide new understandings. 
    At the end of each chapter logic is provided on how general belief in these new ideas will change humanity. 
    My hope is that by the end of this book you the reader will open your mind more about many things which are strange but possibly true.
