Sinopse

Russia's large-scale invasion on the 24th of February 2022 once again made Ukraine the focus of world media. Behind those headlines remain the complex developments in Ukraine's history, national identity, culture and society. Addressing readers from diverse backgrounds, this volume approaches the history of Ukraine and its people through primary sources, from the early modern period to the present. Each document is followed by an essay written by an expert on the period, and a conversational piece touching on the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine. In this ground-breaking collection, Ukraine's history is sensitively accounted for by scholars inviting the readers to revisit the country's history and culture.
With a foreword by Olesya Khromeychuk.

    The Battle of Gettysburg, fought from July 1 to 3, 1863, is the ideal template for recognizing and maximizing your leadership abilities. 
    This pivotal event, the most written-about in American history, offers a rich narrative, emotional insights, and complex strategies that make it an unparalleled resource for understanding leadership. 
    Here’s why Gettysburg stands out and why citing other historical events for our purpose would be unnecessarily redundant. Perhaps surprisingly, this isn’t a history book. Instead, it’s a powerful guide that harnesses the lessons from a significant historical event to illuminate vital life principles. This book not only enhances your leadership skills but also demonstrates how understanding human nature can turn to your advantage. 
    The author offers a groundbreaking approach to history - one that moves beyond mere facts and statistics to use historical insights and challenging questions as a catalyst for your personal growth. In a paraphrase of historian John Toland, he wisely suggests, “History doesn’t repeat itself, human nature does.” 
    Embrace this novel perspective and let the lessons from Gettysburg energize your life’s journey.

    It is nearly impossible to imagine Giza any different today with its desert backdrop and its majestic, sentinel-like pyramids that can't help but exude a sense of permanence. 
    Edfu's account, compiled from a series of now lost books attributed to the moon-god Thoth, allows us to reconstruct how the Giza plateau may have looked over 11,000 years ago. 
    Giza was built around a shallow lake, fed directly from the Nile if the texts were believed. This ecosystem is similar to what one might see today in equatorial Africa. If we find a time machine and travel back to this distant era, we would find a hot, humid atmosphere alive with lush green vegetation. 
    This hypothesis is not mere speculation, for it is known that the river used to flow closer to the plateau's edge in the past. In addition, evidence of a lake and dock dating back to Old Kingdom times has also been found beyond the plateau's western limits. 
    In the eyes of the Shining Ones, this would represent the primordial sea of chaos from which the first land appeared at the beginning of Time.
