Beschreibung

Kojiki ("Record of Ancient Matters") is the oldest extant chronicle in Japan, dating from the early 8th century (711-2) and composed by O no Yasumaro at the request of Empress Gemmei. The Kojiki is a collection of myths concerning the origin of the four home islands of Japan, and the Kami. Along with the Nihon Shoki, the myths contained in the Kojiki are part of the inspiration behind Shinto practices and myths. O no Yasumaro (died August 15, 723) was a Japanese nobleman, bureaucrat, and chronicler. He is most famous for compiling and editing, with the assistance of Hieda no Are, the Kojiki, the oldest extant Japanese history. Empress Genmei (r. 707-721) charged Yasumaro with the duty of writing the Kojiki in 711 using the various clan chronicles and native myths. It was finished the following year in 712. Yasumaro became clan head in 716, and died in 723.

    Half-memoir, half-biography, Wake The Others wrestles with the legacy of the Salvadoran Civil War. Blending lyric and narrative, Palomo traces his mother’s childhood, war experiences, family separation, migration, and its aftermath. Political without sacrificing craft, confessional without navel-gazing, this debut collection of poetry guides readers through the quagmire of family secrets to a place where healing is possible. 
    "Willy Palomo’s outstanding debut takes a scalpel to the heart of biography as a genre, cuts through to the arteries of inherited nostalgia for a motherland, and opens the capillaries of a mama, abuela, and bisabuela’s traumas. This book is a gut wrenching family narrative of the history of violence in El Salvador and a family’s journey north in hope of stability and the possibility of joy. Palomo’s poems are an important and unique addition to the growing voice of Central American writers in the United States.”

    Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by a lack of empathy, manipulative behavior, and a disregard for social norms. While often associated with violent criminals, not all psychopaths engage in illegal activities. Many live among us, blending into society while exhibiting traits that set them apart. Understanding psychopathy requires examining its defining characteristics, how it differs from other disorders, and how it has been studied over time. 
    At the core of psychopathy is a profound emotional deficit. Psychopaths struggle to feel deep emotions such as guilt, remorse, or love. While they can mimic emotions to manipulate others, their reactions are often shallow and insincere. This emotional disconnect allows them to deceive, exploit, and harm others without experiencing the moral conflicts that most people do. Their ability to charm and manipulate makes them particularly dangerous, as they can easily gain trust and control over those around them. 
    A common misconception is that psychopathy and sociopathy are the same. While they share some similarities, they are distinct disorders. Psychopaths are typically more calculated, controlled, and charismatic. They can function in society, often excelling in careers that require persuasion and risk-taking. Sociopaths, on the other hand, are more impulsive and prone to emotional outbursts, making it harder for them to maintain stable relationships or careers. These differences highlight why some psychopaths remain undetected, while sociopaths are more likely to be caught for reckless behavior.

    Humbled by the interest, Kat duly obliged. At this point, she may no longer be the abused child herself, but her journey through hell was still a long way from over…

    Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Though born with the ability to see and hear, at 19 months-old she contracted an acute illness that left her both deaf and blind. Eventually, 20-year-old Anne Sullivan, herself visually impaired, became Keller's speech instructor. It was the beginning of a 49-year-long relationship during which Sullivan evolved into Keller's governess and eventually her companion. In 1914, Sullivan's health began to fail, so a young woman from Scotland, Polly Thompson was hired to keep house. Though she had no experience with deaf or blind people, Thompson progressed to working as a secretary, and eventually a constant companion to Keller. Keller went on to become a world-famous speaker and author. She was a suffragist, a pacifist, a radical socialist, and a birth control advocate. In 1915 she and George Kessler founded the Helen Keller International organization, devoted to research in vision, health and nutrition. In 1920 she helped to found the American Civil Liberties Union.

    The Taj Mahal stands as a breathtaking testament to Indo-Islamic architecture, celebrated as one of the most exquisite examples of this style in the world. Its origins are steeped in the emotional backdrop of its commission, reflecting the rich culture and history of the Mughal Empire, which wielded power over vast regions of India during the 16th and 17th centuries. The monument was commissioned by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died during childbirth in 1631. Her passing left an indelible mark on the emperor, inspiring him to create a monument that would embody his love and devotion.While the majestic, domed marble mausoleum is the most iconic aspect of the Taj Mahal, the complex itself encompasses an extensive area of 22.44 hectares (55.5 acres) and comprises a variety of architectural features and landscaped gardens. Surrounding the central tomb are subsidiary tombs, a sophisticated system of waterworks, and the small town of Taj Ganji to the south. Additionally, a 'moonlight garden' lies to the north of the River Yamuna, designed to enhance the ethereal quality of the monument.
