Sinopse

In this thought-provoking book, we delve deep into the complex and captivating world of feuds, exploring their historical, sociological, psychological, and economic dimensions. From the ancient blood feuds of the Vikings to the modern gang wars of inner-city America, feuds have taken many forms and have had a profound impact on societies around the world.

We examine the factors that contribute to feuds, such as deep-seated grievances, a desire for justice, social and economic inequality, and psychological trauma. We also discuss the challenges of resolving feuds and promoting peace, emphasizing the need for dialogue, understanding, and a commitment to addressing the underlying causes of conflict.

Through a comprehensive analysis of real-world case studies and expert insights, we shed light on the devastating impact of feuds on individuals, families, and communities. We explore the psychological toll of feuds, including trauma, depression, and anxiety, and the economic costs, such as lost productivity, damage to property, and increased healthcare expenses.

This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the phenomenon of feuds and finding ways to prevent and resolve them. It is essential reading for scholars, policymakers, community leaders, and anyone who wants to make a difference in the world.

Whether you are a student, a researcher, or simply someone who wants to learn more about this fascinating and important topic, this book will provide you with a wealth of knowledge and insights. It is a call to action, urging us all to work together to create a world where feuds are a thing of the past.

    Here is an extremely rare recording from the BetterListen! archives. 
    Available in digitlal format for the very first time. 
    Recorded in NYC in 1991, this recording reflects the wisdom, foresight and brilliance of Dr Timothy Leary. 
    Timothy Leary believed that a psychedelic experience is a journey to new realms of consciousness. The scope and content of the experience is limitless, but its characteristic features are the transcendence of verbal concepts, of spacetime dimensions, and of the ego or identity. Such experiences of enlarged consciousness can occur in a variety of ways: sensory deprivation, yoga exercises, disciplined meditation, religious or aesthetic ecstasies, or spontaneously. 
    We hope you enjoy this recording and peak into one of the most interesting minds in recent history.

    This book contains the following books:  
    Mirror, Mirror - The mirror, both literal and figurative, serves as a powerful symbol in this context. It is where we first encounter our reflection, yet it can also distort our sense of self, making us question whether we truly see who we are or merely a distorted version of reality. Body image—the way we perceive and feel about our physical appearance—often influences our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. When this perception becomes negative, it can trigger harmful behaviors, such as restrictive eating, excessive exercising, or binge eating, leading to eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. 
    You’re Worth It - Believing in your own value is not an act of arrogance; it is an act of self-respect. When you truly believe in your worth, you stop settling for less than you deserve and start making choices that reflect the greatness within you. It is the foundation of every success, every achievement, and every meaningful connection you will make along the way. This belief becomes your driving force, propelling you through challenges and helping you navigate the inevitable obstacles life presents.

    Early Icons and Landmarks As western migration came to the Colorado frontier, forts were established to protect the settlers. These forts were intertwined with the lives of the frontiersmen. Scout Thomas Tate Tobin oversaw the workers who built the adobe fortress known as Fort Garland. Here, Tobin delivered the heads of the murderous Espinosas gang to Colonel Sam Tappan. Fort Sedgwick, originally known as Camp Rankin, was attacked by the Cheyenne Dog soldiers, including George Bent. Fort Lyon, an expanded fortress of William Bent's third fort, became the staging point for Colonel John M. Chivington's march to Sand Creek where peaceful Cheyenne were murdered. Later, Christopher "Kit" Carson died in the fort's chapel. Legendary Jim Beckwourth was associated with both Fort Vasquez and Fort Pueblo. Author Linda Wommack revisits the glory and the mistakes of the frontiersmen who defined Colorado and the forts that dotted the wild landscape.

    In a world increasingly shaped by fear, division, and rising authoritarianism, Finding My Humanity is a timely memoir that invites us back to what connects us most—our mutual capacity for love, empathy, and courage- indeed our shared humanity. Ryan Ubuntu Olson's journey begins in rural Colorado, where he wrestles with his identity in a community that offers little space for difference. As a queer young man navigating isolation, discrimination, and heartbreak, he is forced to reckon with what it means to live authentically in the face of rejection. But what begins as a personal struggle evolves into something far greater. On a conservative Catholic college campus, Ryan Ubuntu unexpectedly becomes a public advocate, confronting bias and building community. That role propels him into global human rights work, where he supports activists and inclusive development efforts in countries like Kenya, Jamaica, Peru, Malawi, and Cambodia. From the grassroots to the halls of the United Nations, Ryan Ubuntu becomes a bridge between lived experience and global policy, shaping strategies for inclusion and dignity worldwide. More than a memoir, Finding My Humanity is a reflection on what it means to turn pain into purpose—and how one person’s story can spark collective action. With raw honesty and unwavering hope, Ryan Ubuntu explores how our personal "why" can become a driving "how" in the fight for justice, connection, and change. Narrated by the author himself, the audiobook seeks to add deeper meaning to the memoir by adding the human depth and conviction that can only be expressed in the tone and intonation of the person most impacted by the memoir's greatest meaning. Whether you're seeking purpose, healing, or inspiration, this is a book for anyone ready to lead with heart in a world hungry for hope.

    A compelling and fascinating portrait of the continuing intellectual tradition of Greek writers and thinkers in the Age of Rome. 
     
    In 146 BC, Greece yielded to the military might of the Roman Republic; sixty years later, when Athens and other Greek city-states rebelled against Rome, the general Lucius Cornelius Sulla destroyed the city of Socrates and Plato, laying waste to the famous Academy where Aristotle had studied. However, the traditions of Greek cultural life would continue to flourish during the centuries of Roman rule that followed, in the lives and work of a distinguished array of philosophers, doctors, scientists, geographers, travellers and theologians. 
     
    Charles Freeman's accounts of such luminaries as the physician Galen, the geographer Ptolemy and the philosopher Plotinus are interwoven with contextual 'interludes' that showcase a sequence of unjustly neglected and richly influential lives. Like the author's The Awakening, The Children of Athena is a cultural history on an epic scale: the story of a rich and vibrant tradition of Greek intellectual inquiry across a period of more than five hundred years, from the second century BC to the start of the fifth century AD.
