Sinopsis

In the twilight of World War II, as the Allied forces closed in from both the east and the west, Nazi Germany faced its inevitable demise. This book tells the story of the final chapter of the war in Europe, a period of intense fighting, unimaginable suffering, and profound change.

Through the eyes of soldiers and civilians caught in the maelstrom of war, we witness the fall of Berlin, the surrender of Germany, and the beginning of a new era shaped by the ashes of the old. We explore the strategies and decisions that led to the Allied victory and examine the devastating impact of the conflict on the world.

We uncover the forgotten stories, the untold sacrifices, and the enduring hope that emerged from the ashes of war. We come to appreciate the profound impact of this conflict on our world and the importance of remembering the lessons it taught us.

This book is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, a reminder of the cost of war, and a call to action to build a better future. It is a story that must never be forgotten.

Playful Materialities - The...

Gundolf S. Freyermuth, Benjamin...

Game culture and material culture have always been closely linked. Analog forms of rule-based play (ludus) would hardly be conceivable without dice, cards, and game boards. In the act of free play (paidia), children as well as adults transform simple objects into multifaceted toys in an almost magical way. Even digital play is suffused with material culture: Games are not only mediated by technical interfaces, which we access via hardware and tangible peripherals. They are also subject to material hybridization, paratextual framing, and processes of de-, and re-materialization.

Liberation At Death

Radha Krsna Das, Vraj Kunj

The cautionary tale of Ajamila the careless brahmin who had forgotten his duty but was ultimately redeemed by his love for his young son Narayana is a powerful story about the looming, all-consuming, mystery of death, birth and the ultimate glory of being lifted from the wheel of repeated birth and death (samsara) to go back forever to the original source of all. For those who aspire for liberation, there is nothing more powerful than the chanting of the Lord's name. If this can rescue Ajamila, the Srimad Bhagavata tells us, what to say of the results obtained by chanting the name of Hari with faith and devotion.Ajamila is the main character of a story in canto six of the sacred Bhagavata Purana. In Hinduism, the story of Ajamila is used to illustrate that by uttering God’s divine name, there is hope for even the most sinful to be redeemed from their propensity to commit sin.A glorious. ancient and inspirational audiobook adventure retold in stunning detail.

The Power of the Dao - Seven...

Max Landsberg

“Insightful and engaging! … this book hits the mark with powerful techniques for living a more fulfilled life.”Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers50 #1 Executive Coach, and New York Times bestselling author of The Earned Life, and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There 
 
What if you could live your life in flow? 
 
Being in flow is when you are ‘in the zone’, ‘on your game’, or even ‘on fire’. This is both a mental state and a physical one. You have a feeling of complete focus, full involvement and deep enjoyment in whatever you are doing. You feel the activity takes no energy from you – indeed you feel that it is giving you energy. You barely notice the passage of time. You feel calm but almost ecstatic.Most of us have glimpsed being in this state. But what if you could be in your zone not just for a moment of flow, nor merely for a day, but always and forever?Max Landsberg, best-selling author whose previous titles have sold more than a million copies, reveals how we can live in a state of flow all the time. He shows how to achieve this, based on the enduring wisdom of Daoist principles and practice.

Quel che ho da dire è che sono...

Bartolomeo Vanzetti

Vanzetti nacque a Villafalletto, in provincia di Cuneo, l'11 giugno del 1888, primogenito dei quattro figli di Giovanna Nivello (1862-1907) e Giovanni Battista Vanzetti (1849-1931), modesto proprietario terriero e gestore di una piccola caffetteria. Pur non vivendo in ristrettezze economiche, a spingerlo a emigrare negli Stati Uniti d'America furono soprattutto l'improvvisa e tragica morte dell'amata madre, che lo portò quasi alla follia, e probabilmente una consuetudine familiare (anche il padre era stato emigrante per un breve periodo, dal 1881 al 1883 in California). Fece molti lavori, accettando tutto ciò che gli capitava. Lavorò in varie trattorie, in una cava, in un'acciaieria e in una fabbrica di cordami, la Plymouth Cordage Company. Spirito libero e indipendente, era un avido lettore soprattutto delle opere di Marx, Darwin, Hugo, Gorkij, Tolstoj, Zola e Dante. Nel 1916 guidò uno sciopero contro la Plymouth e per questo motivo nessuno volle più dargli un lavoro. Più tardi, nel 1919, si mise in proprio facendo il pescivendolo fino al momento dell'arresto.

Shankara on the Absolute -...

Shri Shankara

This is volume one of the six-volume Shankara Source Book, which contains writings by Shri Shankara, arranged systematically by subject.Shri Shankara was a great philosopher-sage who expressed the non-dual teachings in such a complete and satisfactory way that his formulation has been followed by authentic teachers of the non-dual tradition ever since.Most of his writings are in the form of commentaries on revealed texts such as the principle Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and the Brahma Sutras, so what he said was placed around those texts, which are far from systematic.His aim was to demonstrate that underlying the apparent contradictions and differences on the surface, all the great revealed scriptures in fact point ultimately to one Supreme Truth. He wished to do this in order to overcome the confusion that was causing hardship to the people at large, and creating difficulties for dedicated seekers. Shankara probably lived in the 8th century, and died in his early 30s.Shankara considered other views in great detail, sometimes provisionally accepting elements of their arguments, and then pointing out where those views lead to difficulties. One of the great qualities of the non-dual teachings as formulated by Shankara is that they are able to recognise and incorporate what is valid and useful in other views.All this can make it difficult to find what Shankara said on particular subjects. To meet this difficulty, in the Source Book, the writings have been freshly translated, and brought together under subject headings. These in turn have been arranged in six volumes each covering one broad topic. These are: Volume 1 Shankara on the AbsoluteVolume 2 Shankara on the CreationVolume 3 Shankara on the SoulVolume 4 Shankara on Rival ViewsVolume 5 Shankara on DiscipleshipVolume 6 Shankara on Enlightenment
