  Principles of Economics was a leading economics textbook of Alfred Marshall (1842-1924), first published in 1890. Marshall began writing the book in 1881, and he spent much of the next decade at work on it.His plan for the work gradually extended to a two-volume compilation on the whole of economic thought; the first volume was published in 1890 to worldwide acclaim that established him as one of the leading economists of his time. It brought the ideas of supply and demand, of marginal utility and of the costs of production into a coherent whole, and became the dominant economic textbook in England for a long period. The second volume, which was to address foreign trade, money, trade fluctuations, taxation, and collectivism, was never published at all. (Summary from Wikipedia)This reading is based on the eighth edition, published in 1920.

  Litany of Sorrows is a story of passion, betrayal, and the devastating cost of complicity.  
   
  It begins when Karl von Richter, a handsome young German with a sinister future, is injured skiing in the Italian Alps. Nursed to health by a beautiful woman, Katrina Amorino, the two fall in love. Unaware that Germany is preparing for war, she naively leaves northern Italy and moves to his home in southern Germany. But days before she arrives, Karl is drafted into the Nazi SS officer training school, where he is radicalized. As Karl descends into the machinery of the Final Solution to build camps and kill Jews, Katrina hears about his horrific deeds, flees for her life, and is haunted by impossible choices and a son she may never see again.  As the war ends, Karl’s last Nazi task is abandoned, and he heads home, but finds his parents dead, and Katrina and their child missing. Karl's conscience begins to reawaken while he searches for Katrina, who is hiding in fear and agonizing over her impetuous decisions, which become her litany of sorrows. Decades later, the consequences of their love — and their separation — ripple outward in ways neither could have foreseen.  
   
  From forbidden love in the Italian Alps to high-stakes international investigations decades later, author Peter J Marzano weaves the Brian O’Sullivan series together with emotional depth, historical intrigue, and relentless suspense. And at the heart of the award-winning series lies a single question: How far will we go to uncover the truth —  to heal from it? Together, these novels form a sweeping narrative about the weight of history, self-inflicted damage by poor choices, and the resilience of the human spirit. From wartime Europe to modern-day investigations, the heart-wrenching Brian O’Sullivan series explores how love, guilt, and legacy shape generations — and how the past never stays buried for long.  b

  Over motivational messages? Sick AF of inspirational quotes? Done with the shiny happy bad advice that gets you nowhere? Well, heads up: you’re about to get a shitload of Good Advice. 
  In Bad Advice, relationship expert Dr. Venus Nicolino—a.k.a. Dr. V—takes a blowtorch to the shrink-wrapped, “feel good” BS that passes for self-help these days.  
  When you’re heartbroken, what do you hear? You can’t love anyone until you love yourself. When someone’s hurt you? Nobody can make you feel bad without your permission. When you’re just a little too positive? Expectations lead to disappointment.  
  Pop culture noise gives Bad Advice the varnish of truthiness and inspiration.  But it’s not truth; it’s not inspiration. It’s bullshit. And at its root, all Bad Advice operates off the same lie: Emotions are optional. In Bad Advice, Dr. V delivers a bracing truth serum, in the form of Good Advice—an antidote to the bullshit, from “Just Be Yourself” to “Live Each Day Like It’s Your Last,” that teaches you to live your life in a way that honors who you are, what you need, and how you feel. 
  Smart and irreverent, Dr. V fuses the brains and insight of a nerdy Ph.D. with the heart of a doting Italian Mother and the artful profanity of a Philly trucker. Dr. V’s signature combination of humor, hard science, and heart make Bad Advice an iconoclastic course-correction like no other. A fiercely sharp wake-up call that tackles some of self-help’s most damaging truisms, Bad Advice is a never shy guide to tapping into your full potential.

The book details Agricola's military campaigns in Britain, his political career, and his personal character. It also provides a commentary on the Roman Empire and its relationship with its conquered territories. 
  The second work, "The Germany", is a description of the Germanic tribes that lived beyond the Rhine river, as well as the geography and customs of the region. Tacitus provides an account of the Germanic peoples' society, religion, and warfare, as well as their interactions with the Romans. He also offers a comparison of the Roman and Germanic societies, highlighting what he saw as the virtues and vices of both. 
  Overall, "The Germany and The Agricola" provides a fascinating insight into both the Roman Empire and the cultures that it encountered and conquered. Tacitus is known for his vivid and engaging prose, as well as his critical commentary on the politics and society of his time.

  Scottish Uprisings The: The...

  From their very beginnings, England and Scotland fought each other. Emerging as unified nations from the early medieval period, their shared border and inter-related aristocracy created endless causes of conflict, from local raiders known as border reivers to full blown wars between their monarchies. Every century from the 11th to the 16th was colored by such violence, and there were periods when not a decade went by without some act of violence marring the peace. 
  	Out of all of this, the most bitterly remembered conflict is Edward I's invasion during the late 13th century. After Edward’s death, the English were eventually beaten back at the famous Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, and thus the early 14th century was a period featuring some of Scotland's greatest national heroes, including William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. It still resonates in the Scottish national memory, all the more so following its memorable but wildly inaccurate depiction in the 1995 film Braveheart, which had Scottish audiences cheering in cinemas. William Wallace is one of the most famous freedom fighters in history, and over 700 years after his death he is still remembered as Scotland’s beloved hero. But while the movie Braveheart helped make him a household name, and he is commemorated across Scotland as a natural leader and a loyal son of his homeland, he is also “the most mysterious of the leaders of the Scottish resistance to Edward I.” 
  England has more often been faced with the claims of competing kings and queens than with a period of no monarch at all. The major exception to that rule came in the 11 years between 1649 and 1660, when England was a republic. Following the disastrous reign of Charles I and the civil wars that led to his execution, Parliament and the army ruled England. That situation was one that would not have been possible without the Bishops’ Wars that preceded it.
