    The term “blowback,” invented by the CIA, refers to the unintended consequences of American actions abroad. In this incisive and controversial book, Chalmers Johnson lays out in vivid detail the dangers faced by our overextended empire, which insists on projecting its military power to every corner of the earth and using American capital and markets to force global economic integration on its own terms. 
    From a case of rape by US servicemen in Okinawa to our role in Asia’s financial crisis, from our early support for Saddam Hussein to our conduct in the Balkans, Johnson reveals the ways in which our misguided policies are planting the seeds of future disaster. 
    In a new edition that addresses recent international events from 9/11 to the war in Iraq, this now classic book remains as prescient and powerful as ever.

    Do you find yourself constantly struggling with a racing mind, unable to focus on one task at a time? Are you plagued by anxiety and find yourself obsessing over certain activities, even if they lead to exhaustion? 
    If so, you may be one of the many women living with ADHD. 
    Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is a condition that affects millions of people around the world, and yet, it is often misunderstood and underdiagnosed in women. Despite being diagnosed and treated more often in men, ADHD affects women just as much, if not more. Unfortunately, there is a lack of information and research on ADHD in women, leading to a lack of understanding and support. 
    One of the biggest challenges for women with ADHD is getting diagnosed. Unlike boys, girls are more inconspicuous and less likely to have poor school performance, which is often the first red flag for ADHD. Additionally, girls are more likely than boys to have the predominantly inattentive type without hyperactivity and fewer behavior problems in clinical practice. As a result, many women come to know their ADHD when their children are diagnosed. 
    This book is an essential guide for women who suspect they have ADHD, as well as for their loved ones. We provide information on how to recognize the symptoms, how to seek professional help and how to take control of your life. We also discuss the importance of self-care, how to manage the disorder, and how to advocate for yourself in the medical and educational systems. 
    Don't let ADHD control your life any longer. Learn how to take control and find the support you deserve with this informative and empowering audiobook. With the right knowledge, tools, and support, you can learn to live a fulfilling and successful life despite the challenges of ADHD 
    Don't wait any longer, order your copy now and take the first step towards understanding and managing your ADHD

    Philosophy - the term sounds fascinating, beautiful, somehow romantic and harmonious, and at the same time like great intellectual effort. Yet philosophy is actually neither particularly romantic nor particularly strenuous.
    It is true that one has to use one's brain, and perhaps some things exceed normal common sense, but basically philosophy only means to be interested in man and the world. The image one has in one's mind of ancient Greek philosophers strolling in their long robes in the Athenian sun while exchanging their thoughts may seem romantic, but they often dealt with serious topics and many did not only make friends with their sometimes revolutionary thoughts.
    In this guide, I would like to give you a first insight into the great subject of philosophy and also bring it closer to you in a practical way. After an explanation of what philosophy is exactly and what it deals with concretely, I would like to introduce you not only some important philosophical currents and wisdoms of the philosophers, but also give you some exercises and tips on the way so that you can easily integrate philosophy into your life.

    A moving meditation on recent geopolitical crises, viewed through the lens of ancient and modern tragedy 
     
    Some books emerge from a lifetime of hard-won knowledge. Robert D. Kaplan has learned, from a career spent reporting on wars, revolutions, and international politics in Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia, that the essence of geopolitics is tragedy. In The Tragic Mind, he employs the works of ancient Greek dramatists, Shakespeare, German philosophers, and the modern classics to explore the central subjects of international politics: order, disorder, rebellion, ambition, loyalty to family and state, violence, and the mistakes of power. The great dilemmas of international politics, he argues, are not posed by good versus evil—a clear and easy choice—but by contests of good versus good, where the choices are often searing, incompatible, and fraught with consequences. A deeply learned and deeply felt meditation on the importance of lived experience in conducting international relations, this is a book for everyone who wants a profound understanding of the tragic politics of our time.
