  Finally… finally, humanity began to wake up. Finally, they decided to take science, knowledge, politics, development, multiple angles and perspectives, and the details of our everyday lives a bit more seriously. For centuries, raw and primal urges and principles had taken hold of conquerors, officials, and governments. But there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Humanity just needed to acknowledge knowledge. It needed to value the art of studying phenomena and learning, not just spiritual notions and religion. Welcome to the book about how this happened. Welcome to a glimmer of hope in humanity’s realization of what this world is and what lies in the elements yet to be discovered. 
  The Age of Enlightenment (also called the Age of Reason or just the Enlightenment) was an intellectual and philosophical movement in Europe at the time of the 18th century that controlled the world of ideas. The Enlightenment promoted concepts like liberty, development, toleration, fraternity, constitutional federal government, and separation of faith and state by concentrating on the pursuit of joy, the sovereignty of reason, and the proof of the senses as primary sources of knowledge. 
  Do we really realize how this was an inevitable age in mankind’s history, to pave the way for machines, electricity, internet, devices, and everything we know about technology, print, philosophy, art, music, and thinking patterns today? Get ready for some enlightenment in your own life as you learn about the Age of Enlightenment.

  The Children of Terezin and the...

  At Terezín, many children sang for the Nazi officials and the Red Cross. They were used as propaganda tools, between 1943 and 1944, to make the world believe that Hitler had given a "paradise" to the Jews. Only around 100 of the 15,000 innocent people who passed through this transit camp survived.
  Ela Stein Weissberger, deported at the age of 11, is one of the few survivors. In Hans Krása's opera Brundibár (The Bumblebee) performed at the camp, she played the role of the Cat, the rebellious animal who attacks the mustached monster in the hope of winning the war! Her poignant testimony gives voice once again to the courageous, hopeful children who left 4,500 drawings, diaries and poems at Terezín.
  Like an internal road movie, the author offers a parallel narrative—she looks back on her own family history, her search for Ela, her anecdotes from the shooting of a documentary film, and she speaks up for all children targeted by hatred.

  Family of Spies - A Cold War...

  In the summer of 1950, federal agents arrived at a modest apartment in lower Manhattan and arrested an electrical engineer named Julius Rosenberg on charges of passing atomic bomb secrets to the Soviet Union. Six weeks later, they came for his wife Ethel — a seamstress and mother of two small boys aged seven and three — and took her from the courthouse door in circumstances that the FBI's own internal documents would later reveal had nothing to do with the strength of the evidence against her and everything to do with what the government needed her to be.
   
  Three years later, on the evening of June 19, 1953, the United States government executed them both.
   
  
   
  What happened in between — the fabricated testimony, the compromised judge, the private conversations between prosecutor and bench before a single witness had been sworn, the brother who sent his sister to the electric chair and later admitted he had lied — is one of the most documented, most contested, and most consequential miscarriages of justice in the history of American law.  
   
  
   
  Family of Spies is the complete, documented account of what the United States government did to Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, why it did it, and what the record it left behind demands of everyone who reads it. 
   
  The verdict was returned in 1951. The questions it failed to answer have never stopped accumulating.

  The ghosts of Hollywood, the death of Edgar Allan Poe, the loving Martian, the Zone of Silence, cursed diamonds. Joslan F. Keller tells us eighteen disturbing stories that defy reason. Eighteen paranormal zones from around the world, all authentic and documented by the author, which shake our certainties—the unexplained phenomena in the sky, the incursions into the world of spirits, encounters with unusual characters, close encounters with UFOs, visits to disturbing places.
  
  Doesn't the improbable arise from our still-limited knowledge and our inability to rationally explain phenomena that go beyond our understanding? The world is neither black nor white. Are there not an infinite number of grey areas, at the frontiers of the unknown, dominated by forces whose mechanisms are little explored, or not at all?
