  Following the resounding success of the eponymous West End and Broadway hit play, Frost/Nixon tells the extraordinary story of how Sir David Frost pursued and landed the biggest fish of his career—and how the series drew larger audiences than any news interview ever had in the United States, before being shown all over the world. 
  This is Frost's absorbing story of his pursuit of Richard Nixon, and is no less revealing of his own toughness and pertinacity than of the ex-President's elusiveness. Frost's encounters with such figures as Swifty Lazar, Ron Ziegler, potential sponsors, and Nixon as negotiator are nothing short of hilarious, and his insight into the taping of the programs themselves is fascinating.  
  Frost/Nixon provides the authoritative account of the only public trial that Nixon would ever have, and a revelation of the man's character as it appeared in the stress of eleven grueling sessions before the cameras. Including historical perspective and transcripts of the edited interviews, this is the story of Sir David Frost's quest to produce one of the most dramatic pieces of television ever broadcast, described by commentators at the time as “a catharsis” for the American people.

  WISDOM FROM THE WOMEN HEALERS OF THE PSYCHEDELIC UNDERGROUND 
   
   
   
  The use of entheogens, or psychedelics, is out of the closet today. LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, and other medicines once associated only with the counterculture are now being legally studied for their healing properties. But as Rachel Harris shows, the underground use and study of psychedelics by women dates back to the Eleusinian Mysteries of ancient Greece. 
   
   
   
  Harris interviews the modern women elders carrying on this tradition to gather their hard-won wisdom of experience. Any listener interested in inspiration, healing, and enlightenment will find here a wonder-filled narrative packed with provocative and perhaps life-changing insight.

  Nazi party and the occultism

  Occult figures undoubtedly played a significant role in the formation of the NSDAP, but it is equally obvious that leading Nazis later denounced and persecuted occult groups. Occult "true believers" in the party ranks were frequently marginalized and persecuted as the Nazi Party gained prominence and power after 1919. 
  In any case, a surprising number of people in the Third Reich were open to occult beliefs and practices, including senior figures like Hitler and Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS and Gestapo. 
  Without a widespread propensity for paranormal thinking, which Hitler and the Nazi Party rushed to capitalize on and was exacerbated by military defeat and social crisis, the Third Reich would have been highly improbable. The National Socialist movement was not the first to use religious sentiment for political gain. However, Hitler's NSDAP was far more successful than other parties in appealing to a generation traumatized by war, violence, and sociopolitical upheaval by appealing to a supernatural imagination.

  Enviroment in Times of War -...

  The impact of Russia's war against Ukraine has been devastating both politically and environmentally. On top of the environmental damage directly caused by military operations, the invasion has put an abrupt end to the EU-Russia "green cooperation", which had previously raised many hopes. At the same time, it has also shifted international attention away from climate and environmental concerns, which are particularly acute in the post-Soviet region.
  This Report analyses some of the main climate change and environmental issues in the post-Soviet space, providing an initial assessment of the invasion's impact. The bulk of the latest scholarly and policy production on these matters focuses on Russia – given the country's geopolitical and energy relevance. However, this analysis finds that environmental disasters such as the desertification of the Aral Sea transcend state borders and require a broader approach both from an analytic and policy standpoint.

  Where Tyranny Begins - The...

  Over the course of his presidency, Donald Trump intimidated, silenced, and bent to his will Justice Department and FBI officials. He sowed public doubt in both agencies so successfully that when he tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election, he paid little political cost and, despite an unprecedented array of criminal indictments, easily won the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election. 
   
   
   
  In Where Tyranny Begins, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist David Rohde investigates the strategies Trump systematically used to turn the country's two most powerful law-enforcement agencies into his personal political weapons. Rohde also reveals how, during the Biden years, Justice Department non-partisan 1970s norms that Attorney General Merrick Garland reinforced inadvertently helped Trump, and could fail to deliver a trial and legal accountability by Election Day 2024. 
   
   
   
  Where Tyranny Begins exposes how ill-suited both the DOJ and FBI are to serve as checks on abuses of presidential power. A round of historic reforms equivalent to the post-Watergate reforms that stabilized American democracy in the 1970s are immediately needed. A five-word warning coined by the English philosopher John Locke in 1689 captures the stakes in 2024: "Where-ever law ends, tyranny begins."
