Synopsis

Soviet Afghanistan explores how a seemingly contained conflict transformed into a global crisis, reshaping international relations and birthing modern terrorism. Delving into the Soviet-Afghan War, the book examines the political motivations behind the 1979 Soviet invasion, the strategies employed, and the dynamics within the Afghan resistance. It reveals that the war not only reshaped the Cold War rivalry but also fostered international jihadist networks and destabilized South Asia. This book presents a comprehensive historical account by leveraging declassified Soviet archives, firsthand accounts from Afghan mujahideen fighters, U.S. intelligence reports, and scholarly analyses.

 
Organized into three parts, the book first sets the stage with pre-invasion Afghanistan and Soviet interests. It then details the war itself, from invasion to Soviet withdrawal, and concludes by exploring the long-term consequences, including the rise of the Taliban and extremist ideologies. Ultimately, the book provides readers with the knowledge to understand the challenges facing the country and the region.

    In this revolutionary book, a professor of education at Stanford University and acclaimed math educator who has spent decades studying the impact of beliefs and bias on education, reveals the six keys to unlocking learning potential, based on the latest scientific findings. 
    From the moment we enter school as children, we are made to feel as if our brains are fixed entities, capable of learning certain things and not others, influenced exclusively by genetics. This notion follows us into adulthood, where we tend to simply accept these established beliefs about our skillsets (i.e. that we don’t have “a math brain” or that we aren’t “the creative type”). These damaging—and as new science has revealed, false—assumptions have influenced all of us at some time, affecting our confidence and willingness to try new things and limiting our choices, and, ultimately, our futures.  
    Stanford University professor, bestselling author, and acclaimed educator Jo Boaler has spent decades studying the impact of beliefs and bias on education. In Limitless Mind, she explodes these myths and reveals the six keys to unlocking our boundless learning potential. Her research proves that those who achieve at the highest levels do not do so because of a genetic inclination toward any one skill but because of the keys that she reveals in the book. Our brains are not “fixed,” but entirely capable of change, growth, adaptability, and rewiring. Want to be fluent in mathematics? Learn a foreign language? Play the guitar? Write a book? The truth is not only that anyone at any age can learn anything, but the act of learning itself fundamentally changes who we are, and as Boaler argues so elegantly in the pages of this book, what we go on to achieve.

    Experience the Words That Ignited a Revolution.
    
    First published anonymously in January 1776, Thomas Paine's Common Sense was the spark that turned colonial discontent into a full-scale demand for independence. Written in clear, forceful language designed to be understood by everyone—not just the elite—this masterpiece of political persuasion dismantled the "myth" of the British monarchy and argued that the colonies had both a right and a duty to govern themselves.
    
    
    Paine's arguments were so compelling that they reached nearly every corner of the colonies, becoming the all-time best-selling American title relative to the population. His call for a democratic republic and the protection of natural rights provided the intellectual foundation for the Declaration of Independence and the birth of a new nation.
    
    This definitive edition presents the complete, original text of the most influential pamphlet in American history. Whether you are a student of early American history, a fan of political philosophy, or simply looking to understand the roots of American liberty, Common Sense remains an essential and electrifying read.
    
    Discover the power of logic and the spirit of freedom. Buy "Common Sense" today and witness the birth of a nation.

    In the 1880s, Freud discovered cocaine and became enthusiastic about what was not yet considered a party drug. Favoring the use of cocaine in the treatment of neurasthenia, as an energizer, or as an anesthetic, Freud made a creative and fashionable use of it, heralding practices that our society knows well. Several surprising texts are gathered here on cocaine. Freud recounts the use of coca in history, particularly in South America, from where it was imported. In Cocaine Addiction and Cocaine Phobia, the inventor of psychoanalysis defended coca against its accusers as a dangerous product. Finally, in the letters to Martha Bernays, his future wife, we discover an intimate and loving Freud, telling how he escaped boring dinners thanks to his dear magic substance.
