Sinopse

In the golden age of ocean travel, two majestic vessels reigned supreme: the Queen Mary and the Queen Elizabeth. These iconic ocean liners, launched in the 1930s, were more than just ships—they were floating palaces that captured the hearts and imaginations of millions.

This captivating book takes readers on a journey through the extraordinary history of the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, from their inception to their lasting legacy. Through vivid descriptions and captivating anecdotes, we bring to life the excitement, the romance, and the challenges that defined the era of these ocean queens.

From their record-breaking crossings to their role in World War II, the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth played a pivotal role in shaping the course of history. They carried not only passengers but also dreams, hopes, and aspirations, connecting continents and cultures in a way that had never been done before. We explore the impact these ships had on society, culture, and technology, shedding light on their enduring significance.

Beyond their historical importance, the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth were also floating palaces, renowned for their opulent interiors, exquisite cuisine, and world-class entertainment. We take a glimpse into the lives of the passengers who experienced the height of luxury aboard these ships, from celebrities and royalty to everyday travelers seeking adventure.

As the jet age dawned, the era of ocean liners began to fade, but the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth continued to capture the imagination of the public. We trace their transformation from active service to retirement, as they found new roles as museums and tourist attractions, preserving their legacy for generations to come.

This book is a celebration of the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, their enduring impact on the world, and the timeless allure of ocean travel. Join us on this journey as we delve into the rich history of these maritime icons and discover why they continue to hold a special place in our hearts.

    The book Coming Together provides hope and an action plan for us to work together and fix many of the problems in our country. 
    The U.S. used to provide affordable healthcare, and education. Our people supported workers' rights. We used to invest in our people. We are being told that we can't do those things, and gaslit into thinking that the crippling healthcare and educational debt being forced upon is our fault. 
    Too many times we have used fear to dehumanize people because of the color of their skin, or sexual preference. 
    Many of our politicians gain tremendous wealth and power by keeping us divided and hopeless. 
    We have fought hard to conquer these problems before, and we can do it again. We can work together towards a more honest and just society. We can repair the damage done to our society from the lies we have been told.

    Mexico a transterritorial nation...

    This book is dedicated to the study of the Mexican nation, providing an overview of its two-hundred-year evolution, and particularly analyzing its contemporary profile, which is characterized by unprecedented social reconfiguration sustained by Mexicans residing abroad. As we will show throughout this book´s chapters, the Mexican nation has over the past two centuries followed a complex, sinuous trajectory, conflictive at many points, which step by step built the nation as we know it today, a nation that has not by any means exhausted its vitality or its impetus for continuing to evolve.From now on, the Mexican nation cannot be understood solely on the basis of the population residing within its borders. It must be recognized comprehensively, considering, simultaneously and in equal conditions, people living abroad who hold Mexican nationality. The path ahead is extraordinarily complex, without a doubt. Taking into account its social composition, the 21st century Mexican nation is based and reproduces itself simultaneously within and outside of the territory; therein lies its transterritorial nature.The author is a professor in the UNAM University Program in Development Studies. He has been president of the El Colegio de la Frontera Norte and Commissioner for the National Migration Institute. He is a member of the National System of Researchers and has published widely on topics of migration, northern and southern border studies, regional political issues and modernization of local governments.

    "On Guerrilla Warfare" by Mao Tse Tung is a foundational text that elaborates on the strategies and philosophies behind guerrilla warfare, authored by the revolutionary leader during the tumultuous period of the Chinese Civil War and the Japanese invasion of China in the 20th century. Mao's work is not just a military manual but a profound treatise on the application of guerrilla tactics as a form of irregular warfare by a smaller, mobile force against a larger, more conventionally equipped enemy. Through this work, Mao emphasizes the importance of political ideology, the support of the local population, and the use of the terrain to the guerrilla fighter's advantage. His insights into the interplay between politics and military strategy have made this work a staple reference in the study of revolutionary warfare and insurgency movements globally, influencing numerous conflicts and shaping the tactics of various liberation movements.

    Das Avatar The Divine...

    The incarnations of Vishnu are a recurrent theme in Vedic history. Vishnu exists outside the material realm as the creator, and within every being as the Supersoul. He also enters this world as an avatar, ‘one who descends’, to restore balance whenever his presence is needed. “Whenever there is a decline of religion and a rise of irreligion, I incarnate myself. To protect the good, to destroy the wicked, and to re-establish religious principles, I appear in every age.”There are said to be more incarnations of Godhead than waves on the ocean. The avatars of Vishnu are of particular interest because He takes progressively more developed forms, from fish, tortoise and boar to half-animal, half-man, and finally human form. That God should incarnate as an animal, even a supernatural one, shows animals have an important role to play in God’s eyes. They are living expressions of the spirit and presence of God. Here are the subtle secret teachings of Neem Karoli Baba, the master of Ram Das, Krishna Das and so many more. These ancient yogic mysteries were taught only to Maharaji's most advanced disciples and were thought to be all but lost these many years. Coming now from a nearly 50-year devotee of Karoli Baba here is a singular opportunity to enter into the true mystical presence of the divine incarnations of the absolute. "To understand the incarnations of God is to be free eternally." Ram Das
