Sinopse

Cold War Facts offers a comprehensive exploration of the nearly half-century-long standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union. Delving into the political tensions, nuclear threat, and espionage tactics that defined the era, the book emphasizes the vital importance of understanding this period for grasping contemporary geopolitical dynamics. The book reveals the ideological clash, the nuclear arms race, and the shadow war fought through espionage and proxy conflicts. Beginning with the post-World War II landscape, the book traces the diverging paths of the former allies and the rise of communism. Organized into three distinct sections, it lays out the ideological and political foundations of the conflict, examines the nuclear arms race, and explores espionage activities. The book shows how seemingly isolated events were interconnected, contributing to a climate of perpetual tension and mistrust, and offers insights from both Western and Eastern perspectives, providing a balanced account of the Cold War. The book stands out by presenting a consolidated, fact-based narrative, cutting through rhetoric and propaganda to offer an unbiased view. Its accessible writing style and factually accurate account of the Cold War make it valuable for students, political science enthusiasts, and general readers alike. The book progresses chapter by chapter to demonstrate the escalating nature of the Cold War.

    For the exhausted, the hurting, and the faithful, The After Party helps reframe our political identity away from the “what” of political positions and toward the “how” being centered on Jesus. 
    This paradigm-shifting book complements The After Party Project--a six-part, video-based, highly interactive curriculum that provides churches, small groups, and individuals with an on-the-ground, biblically based approach to a very complex topic. 
    The After Party: Toward Better Christian Politics helps readers who feel despair about political divisiveness:Engage with others across political differencesLearn specific steps to reframe political identity outside of partisan dividesFocus on how we relate to one another as Jesus teaches before moving to the what of political topics 
      
    The After Party is ideal for:Republicans, Democrats, and Independents looking for renewed hope and humility for our nationLocal leaders seeking to counter animosity toward political opponents, susceptibility to lies, and other practices that threaten the common goodCongregations, classes, and small groups watching The After Party video seriesPastors who want to encourage their congregants to trade their partisan mindsets for the mind of Christ 
      
    It's not too late. In today's political environment, faithfulness to a biblical how of political engagement shines as a radical challenge to both the Right and the Left. If you worry about what politics is doing to your community, your family, and your own well-being, The After Party will transform your political imagination. 
    It's time for us to go beyond party politics and--as Christians--believe in the true "party" yet to come. 
    The graphics, exercises, and appendix can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

    Explains and demonstrates how to create and utilize mind-body connections for unknotting vexing problems. 
     
     
     
    In the popular imagination, hypnosis is misconstrued as something done to people, as if the hypnotist hypnotizes them. And hypnotherapy is similarly misconceived as something done to clients' problems, as if the therapist could unilaterally counter or cure them. In a refreshing departure from conception-as-usual, Douglas Flemons offers another view, articulating relational ideas about how minds and bodies communicate and learn. 
     
     
     
    In his characteristically casual and concise way, Flemons explains and illustrates how hypnosis, like meditation, is invited, not induced, and how hypnotherapy entails the altering and unraveling of knotted strands of problematic experience, not the controlling and abolishing of labeled afflictions. The therapist gets in sync with clients so they can, together, extemporaneously facilitate changes to undesired thoughts, urges, emotions, sensations, or behaviors. This book takes you to the heart of hypnotherapy, to the respectful, playful practice of utilizing clients' flow experience to collaboratively discover and create opportunities for embodied learning and therapeutic change.

    Ram Shastri Prabhune conducted an enquiry and found Raghunathrao the culprit in addition to another fifty persons of which there was one female servant. 'The law,' he thundered 'was above the individual.'
    The intrepid judge fearlessly argued the point and told Raghunathrao on his face that he was himself found to be the chief culprit and as such deserved the capital punishment. Raghoba asked indirectly whether a person who had committed a crime under unavoidable circumstances and now wanted to repent could seek penance.
    When his point was put forth, Ram Shastri boldly declared, 'Dehant prayaschitta shivay doosra kahi prayaschitta nahin,' meaning 'the only penance was capital punishment or a death sentence.' Never before in the history of India or for that matter in any country a sitting judge had passed a death sentence on the ruling monarch. It was a rare show of judicial independence which we possibly do not see even in today's times. Those present in the court could not believe what they had just heard. There was a hushed silence...
