Synopsis

Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations" is a profound exploration of Stoic philosophy, presented in the form of personal reflections and philosophical musings. Composed during his military campaigns in the 2nd century AD, this seminal work combines a deeply introspective style with vivid observations of the human condition. Aurelius grapples with themes such as duty, virtue, the transient nature of life, and the importance of reason, making his thoughts both timeless and universally relatable. The text is characterized by its direct, unembellished prose, echoing the Stoic principles of clarity and simplicity, and reflects a rich philosophical context that intertwines personal and communal ethics, emphasizing the value of resilience in the face of adversity. Marcus Aurelius, a Roman Emperor and a philosopher, is often revered as the embodiment of Stoic ideals. His life was marked by challenges, including wars and personal losses, which catalyzed his writings in "Meditations." His unique perspective as a ruler navigating the complexities of power and morality lends a remarkable authenticity to his thoughts. Aurelius' philosophy is not merely theoretical; it is rooted in the realities of his existence and offers insights into maintaining equanimity amid chaos. This book is a timeless guide for anyone seeking wisdom and guidance in navigating the complexities of life. Readers will find inspiration in Aurelius' reflections, encouraging them to pursue virtue and mindfulness in their personal journeys. "Meditations" is not just a philosophical treatise but a companion for those striving to cultivate resilience and inner peace in a turbulent world.

    'Excellent... surefooted and perceptive, enlivened by a wealth of vignettes and anecdotes which bring to life the dramatic and frequently horrific events that have played a seminal role in forming Chinese society as it exists today' PHILIP SHORT, author of Mao: A Life
    
    Mao launched the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in 1966 to purge his critics and blood a new generation of fighters. Ten years later, almost two million people had been killed and much of China's heritage, from precious manuscripts to ancient temples, had been obliterated.
    
    The shadow of these terrible years lies heavily over the twenty-first-century nation. The history of this period is so toxic that China's rulers have gone to great lengths to bury it – while a few brave men and women risk their freedom to uncover the truth. For as both they and the Party know, to grasp the history of the Cultural Revolution is to understand much about China today.
    
    Bombard the Headquarters! is not just Mao's story. It's the unforgettable stories of countless individuals, mass manias, of sacred mangos, and spectacular falls from grace. At once rigorous and readable, brief yet teeming with colourful detail, this is a marvel of historical storytelling.
    
    'A beautifully concise account that makes sense of a hugely complex event in modern Chinese history. Linda Jaivin puts her formidable, deep experience both of Chinese history and language to excellent use, conveying in 100 pages what most would struggle to achieve in a thousand' KERRY BROWN, author of China Incorporated

    When Columbus claimed to have discovered America in 1492, and the Borgia Pope claimed it as a New World for Catholic Spain, the Vatican started a 500 hundred year conspiracy to conceal the true story of Viking America. In this groundbreaking work by the author of The Early English Settlement of Orkney and Shetland, the true extent of the Viking discovery and colonization of the eastern seaboard of America is fully examined, taking into account the new archaeological, linguistic, and DNA evidence which supplements the historic account. For four centuries or more, from their first visits around AD 1000 to the eve of the Columbus voyages, the Vikings explored and settled thousands of miles of the coasts and rivers of North America. 
     
     
     
    From New York's Long Island to the Canadian High Arctic, the New World was a playground for Viking adventurers. And the name the Vikings gave to this New World—America.
