Summary

Lenin Impact explores the profound and lasting influence of Vladimir Lenin on Russia and the world, examining his transformation of a vast empire into the first communist state. The book delves into Lenin's adaptation of Marxist theory to the Russian context, highlighting how his political acumen and strategic decisions enabled the Bolsheviks to seize power during the Russian Revolution. Readers will gain insight into Lenin's April Theses and his leadership during the tumultuous Russian Civil War, revealing the pragmatic yet often ruthless nature of his rule.

 
The book progresses chronologically, tracing Lenin's intellectual development, his rise to power, and the implementation of key policies like the New Economic Policy (NEP). It emphasizes the complex and often contradictory aspects of his legacy, acknowledging both his achievements in modernizing Russia and the problematic elements of his authoritarian rule. For example, while Lenin aimed to create a classless society, his suppression of dissent laid the groundwork for future political repression.

 
By drawing upon historical sources and recent scholarship, Lenin Impact offers a balanced and accessible re-evaluation of Lenin's role in shaping 20th-century political history. It's valuable for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of revolutionary movements, the Soviet Era, and the enduring impact of communism on global politics.

    Terminal lucidity is a relatively common but poorly understood phenomenon. Near the end of life, many people—including those who have suffered brain injuries or strokes, or have been silenced by mental illness or deep dementia—experience what seems a miraculous return. They regain their clarity and energy, are able to talk with families and caregivers, recall their lives and often appear to be aware of their nearing death.In this remarkable audiobook, cognitive scientist and Director of the Viktor Frankl Institute Dr. Alexander Batthyány offers the first major account of terminal lucidity, utilizing hundreds of case studies and his research in the related field of near-death studies to explore the mind, the body, the nature of consciousness, and what the living can learn from those who are crossing the border from life to death.Astonishing, authoritative, and deeply moving, Threshold opens a doorway into one of life's—and death's—most provocative mysteries.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press Essentials.

    Shattered, battered, mistaken, forsaken, confused and abused all formerly defined me. My smile covered the shame, my laugh masked the pain and the lies made me go insane. Though this is my journey, I know I am not alone. FIGHT represents all those who are suffering in silence. All those who are depleted and defeated. And all those who desperately seek help and hope. This does not have to be the end, but just the beginning. I invite you to live my life with me through these pages of how I went from Battles to Breakthrough, from Sacrifice to Surrender and from FIGHT to Freedom!

    Nudges from Grandfather -...

    In 1938 the German Reich inflicted a wave of violent, all night attacks on several Jewish communities (Kristallnacht). Far away in Australia, William Cooper, a distinguished Elder of the Yorta Yorta Nation, led a little-known march to the German Consulate to deliver his protest regarding the violation of those human rights. 
How contemporary Jewish and Aboriginal communities re-connected with that protest is but one chapter in a book recounting true stories of many miraculous chains of events. 
Each chapter has its own story, each story its own theme, but common throughout are lessons on the reality of spiritual technologies: following steps of prayerful, contemplative action; acting with ceaseless energy; working mindfully with ancestors; and expressing gratitude for the emerging blessings. 
We are each connected with the spiritual realm. Some may call spiritual forces ancestors, others angels or still others, the names of forms of divine power in their traditions. Whatever their names, these forces work intimately with us when we seek to be of service to others. When asked to perform an act of service beyond one’s abilities or education, there are those in the next world who can make suggestions.

    For readers of David Harvey and Thomas Piketty comes a new introduction to Marx’s Capital from the author of the internationally bestselling book Slow Down. 
 
The follow-up to his global bestseller Slow Down and a new introduction to Marx's Capital, Capital From Zero is a reading guide, a manifesto, a revision, and a reclamation of Marx's foundational work of political theory. Building on his signature argument of "degrowth communism", Saito's introduction brings Capital squarely into the 21st century, offering a uniquely non-Western, non-dogmatic, and eco-socialist reading of the famous text. 
 
Saito is a singular intellect with an essential and innovative point of view—a fresh new voice in Marxist theory who will sit alongside David Harvey and Thomas Piketty in educating and guiding the next generation of radical intellectuals. The material reconstructs Marx’s Capital from a totally new perspective based on more recent research findings, liberating Marx from old dogmas of Soviet socialism and aiming to rekindle our ability to envision a more equal and sustainable society beyond capitalism.
