Defending Europe - Transatlantic...

Antonio Missiroli

After four tense decades of the Cold War and a subsequent period of relative stability across much of Europe, is the continent once again under threat? And are Europeans prepared to face the growing risks and strategic challenges of the second quarter of the 21st century? This ISPI Report, crafted for both expert readers and a broader audience, traces the evolution of Europe's defense architecture on two parallel tracks: the defense of Europe, fundamentally underpinned by NATO and shaped through its continual adaptation; and the pursuit of a distinctly European defense identity, increasingly advanced through the European Union. It examines the intersections, overlaps, tensions, and pivotal turning points in this dual process, exploring institutional and organizational frameworks, strategies and doctrines, missions and operations, as well as military and industrial capabilities. The storyline leads to 2025, a symbolic crossroads that may mark the end of one era and the beginning of another: a moment when Europeans will be called upon to assume full responsibility for their own security and defense. Will they rise to the challenge?

As you read through this book you will come across pages with personal information I shared. I share my journey not to boast, discourage, or seek sympathy from you, my lovely readers, but to build a bridge with you. You may be seeking to harness the power of your sexuality and fitness. There is a deeply personal narrative at the heart of my work. I have witnessed the transformative impact that certain types of information can have on an individual's confidence and self-expression. This book is an extension of my commitment to helping others realize their full potential. It is not a one-size-fits-all-all, and neither should it be taken as a substitute for professional guidance or treatment, but a suggestive guide to your wake-up call that may evoke your willingness to start your journey to sexual health and fitness and holistic well-being. Hey, can you do me a favor? Just smile for me. Yeah, that is a start. Thank you, and best wishes.

Thirty Problems Concerning...

Menasseh Ben Israel, Seymour...

At his own expense, he self-published Thirty Problems Concerning Creation (De Creatione Problemata 30) from his home. This work aimed to restore the classical doctrine of creation and to address intricate philosophical and theological questions related to the creation of the world and faith. The present edition is the first translation of the Latin edition that was published in 1635, nearly 400 years ago. The thirty problems explore various questions, including the existence of a beginning of the world, the nature of the raw material, the origin of Moses' knowledge of creation, the universality of this knowledge, the duration of the world's creation, the existence of other worlds before ours, the direct emanation from God, the number of elements necessary for creation, the creation of souls and bodies, the creation of Paradise and Hell, the existence of Purgatory, the creation of demons and angels, the roundness of the sky, the final cause of the world's creation, and the alterability of the world if it is eternal. These problems invite deep reflections on the nature of existence and faith.
