Beschreibung

In his illuminating work, *Treatises on Friendship and Old Age*, Marcus Tullius Cicero masterfully navigates the philosophical underpinnings of interpersonal relationships and the inevitable passage of time. Written in a dialogical style, reflective of the Socratic tradition, Cicero employs a conversational approach to explore the nature of friendship—its virtues, its challenges, and its significance in the human experience. In tandem, the treatise on old age presents an introspective examination of aging, reframing it not as a decline, but as an opportunity for wisdom and reflection. These works are situated within the broader context of Hellenistic philosophy, particularly reflecting the Stoic ideals that influenced Roman thought during Cicero's lifetime. Cicero, a revered statesman, lawyer, and orator of the late Roman Republic, frequently drew upon his own experiences of friendship and public service in articulating his philosophies. His life was marked by political upheaval and personal loss, which deeply informed his reflections on the significance of enduring relationships. Cicero's engagement with prominent philosophical schools might have inspired his exploration of these themes, demonstrating how they resonate with the human condition and societal dynamics. This compelling dual examination is a profound invitation for readers to embrace the complexities of friendship while reconciling with the realities of aging. Cicero's insights remain timeless, encouraging contemporary audiences to cultivate meaningful relationships and appreciate the wisdom that comes with experience. This work is essential for anyone seeking to understand the philosophical dimensions of life's most significant bonds.

    Northumberland - A guide

    Northumberland, one of the most sparsely-populated counties in England, with unique features like the Holy Island of Lindisfarne and Hadrian’s Wall, was also a crucible of European civilization and remains a treasury of culture. Giving birth to railways worldwide through George Stephenson, it saw the beginnings of hydraulics, hydro-electricity and turbines and, with Joseph Swan, witnessed the earliest light from electric incandescent lamps; it was a laboratory of invention.
    
     
    Northumberland has, however, changed dramatically over the course of the last century: deep coal-mining, shipbuilding and much heavy engineering have gone, but new industries have flowered. So, the largest man-made lake in northwest Europe, lying within the largest man-made forest is set within the north west of the county, bringing water in abundance and supporting entirely new leisure and tourist activities. The lower Tyne has been transformed both architecturally, and culturally.
    
     
    This unique guide to England’s most northern county explores the land, the people, the flora and fauna alongside its architecture and history. A gazetteer takes readers to Northumberland’s towns and cities – Newcastle, Hexham, and Berwick-upon-Tweed, but also to villages, hamlets, castles, beaches, churchyards, great houses, ruined abbeys, and vast wild open countryside. Among the places visited are the castles at Warkworth, Bamburgh, Dunstanburgh and Alnwick, the Farne Islands and the remote valleys of Allendale and the South Tyne, battle sites at Heavenfield, Otterburn and Flodden, alongside Vanbrugh’s final triumphant Palladian mansion at Seaton Delaval.
    
     
    Fully illustrated with more than 240 photographs, this guidebook invites travellers and locals alike to explore the unique features and the true character of Northumberland.

    Passion Plays - How Religion...

    Randall Balmer was a late convert to sports talk radio, but he quickly became addicted, just like millions of other devoted American sports fans. As a historian of religion, the more he listened, Balmer couldn’t help but wonder how the fervor he heard related to religious practice. Houses of worship once railed against Sabbath-busting sports events, but today most willingly accommodate Super Bowl Sunday. On the other hand, basketball’s inventor, James Naismith, was an ardent follower of Muscular Christianity and believed the game would help develop religious character. But today those religious roots are largely forgotten. 
     
    Here one of our most insightful writers on American religion trains his focus on that other great passion—team sports—to reveal their surprising connections. From baseball to basketball and football to ice hockey, Balmer explores the origins and histories of big-time sports from the late nineteenth century to the present, with entertaining anecdotes and fresh insights into their ties to religious life. Referring to Notre Dame football, the Catholic Sun called its fandom “a kind of sacramental.” Legions of sports fans reading Passion Plays will recognize exactly what that means.

    Thus Spoke Zaratustra

    "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is a philosophical novel written by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, first published in 1883. The book is divided into four parts and tells the story of a fictional character named Zarathustra, who is on a journey to share his philosophy with the people. 
    The book is often considered Nietzsche's masterpiece and explores themes such as the death of God, the will to power, and the Übermensch (or superman). Through Zarathustra's journey, Nietzsche presents his ideas on morality, religion, and the nature of humanity. 
    The character of Zarathustra is inspired by the historical figure of Zarathustra, who founded the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism. However, Nietzsche's Zarathustra is not a religious prophet but a philosopher who seeks to share his wisdom with humanity. 
    The style of "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is highly poetic and symbolic, often using metaphorical language to express complex philosophical ideas. The book has been highly influential in modern philosophy, literature, and art, and its impact can be seen in the works of many later thinkers, such as Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre.

    I’ve already written a couple of books on prophecy and premonitions including my own experiences. 
    But as an engineer I felt that I really had not fully communicated what I’ve learned about these abilities and how we can apply this knowledge to our lives. 
    Thus the purpose of this book is to be as detailed as I can be about what premonitions are and how you can use them to improve your life and change your probable futures. 
    As an engineer and experiencer of many modes of premonitions and prophecies I feel I have a lot to offer here and want you the reader to benefit from what I’ve learned. 
    Historical prophecies are also covered as are the real source of premonitional abilities, techniques to see your own futures, how far ahead people can see the future, how to use these techniques with a group of people, and much more on the importance of prophecy in our world. 
    The ability to change the direction of your fate is also discussed.
