  A fascinating account of Russia's famous dissident and the politics he embodies. 
   
   
   
  Who is Alexei Navalny? Poisoned in August 2020 and transported to Germany for treatment, the politician returned to Russia in January 2021 in the full glare of the world media. His immediate detention at passport control set the stage for an explosive showdown with Vladimir Putin. 
   
   
   
  But Navalny means very different things to different people. To some, he is a democratic hero. To others, he is betraying the Motherland. To others still, he is a dangerous nationalist. Navalny explores the many dimensions of his political life, from his pioneering anti-corruption investigations to his ideas and leadership of a political movement. It also looks at how his activities and the Kremlin's strategies have shaped one another. 
   
   
   
  Navalny makes sense of this divisive character, revealing the contradictions of a man who is the second most important political figure in Russia—even when behind bars. In order to understand modern Russia, you need to understand Alexei Navalny.

  Science and Health: Knowledge and Medicine in Ancient Rome (3 in 1) explores the intellectual and spiritual forces that shaped Roman civilization, from its groundbreaking scientific ideas to its religious beliefs and the formidable enemies it battled across centuries. 
  In Roman Medicine and Science, uncover the practical and philosophical roots of Roman knowledge—how doctors, engineers, and scholars applied Greek theory, astrology, and firsthand experience to treat the sick, build aqueducts, and study the stars. Roman Religion and Mythology dives into the gods, rituals, and sacred practices that infused daily life with divine meaning and political power. From Jupiter to household spirits, religion in Rome was deeply entwined with science, healing, and war. The Roman Empire and Their Enemies offers a dynamic look at Rome’s greatest rivals—Persians, Carthaginians, Germanic tribes, and more—examining how these conflicts influenced Rome’s scientific developments, medical needs, and mythic self-image. 
  Together, these three books reveal how Romans understood the world—through logic and legend, reason and ritual. Ideal for readers fascinated by ancient science, belief systems, and military history, this volume reveals how Rome's view of knowledge shaped its rise—and echoed through its fall.

  Stories of WWII’s elite glider troops and their combat operations, including Eben Emael, Normandy, Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge, and more.   Long pursued by civilian thrill seekers and dare devils, airborne gliding came of age during World War II as one of that conflict’s most dangerous combat operations. The armed forces of Axis and Allied nations developed gliders—wooden aircraft that bursts of flak could shred and a poor landing could smash—and flew them into battle at Eben Emael, Crete, Normandy, Arnhem, and Bastogne.    James E. Mrazek’s riveting account brings to life both the men who carried out these perilous missions and the gliders that proved vital to the success of airborne attacks.

  Hospitality - Creating a Space...

  The concept of hospitality goes beyond simply entertaining guests. It is the art of making people feel valued, comfortable, and at ease in a given space. True hospitality is not about perfection or impressing others but about creating an environment where people feel welcomed and cared for. It is an intentional practice that involves thoughtfulness, warmth, and a genuine desire to serve. 
  Why hospitality matters can be seen in everyday interactions. Whether welcoming a friend into your home, greeting a stranger with kindness, or ensuring a guest feels at ease, hospitality has the power to transform relationships. It fosters connection, builds trust, and creates lasting memories. In a world where many feel disconnected, a hospitable spirit can make all the difference. It allows people to feel seen and valued, offering them a sense of belonging in an unfamiliar or even familiar space. 
  There is a difference between hosting and hospitality. Hosting often focuses on preparation, aesthetics, and the logistics of entertaining, such as planning meals or setting up a guest room. While these elements are valuable, true hospitality goes deeper. It is about the atmosphere and emotions a person experiences in a space. A well-decorated home means little if guests feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, or like an inconvenience. On the other hand, a modest setting can feel like a sanctuary when hospitality is extended with sincerity and care.
