Whispers of Atomic Peril

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In the aftermath of the Cold War, a chilling new reality emerged: the collapse of the Soviet Union left thousands of nuclear warheads and hundreds of tons of plutonium virtually unguarded, posing an unprecedented threat to global security.

This book takes you on a gripping journey into the heart of this crisis, exploring the factors that led to the unguarded nuclear arsenal and the consequences of this neglect. We examine the role of criminal networks, rogue states, and desperate military personnel in fueling the nuclear threat, and we investigate the international response to this crisis, highlighting both the successes and failures.

With vivid storytelling and expert analysis, we delve into the hidden world of nuclear smuggling, uncovering the shadowy networks that operate in the illicit arms trade. We meet the individuals involved in these dangerous transactions, from the ruthless arms dealers to the desperate buyers, and we explore the motivations that drive them to risk everything for nuclear weapons.

We also examine the plight of Russian military personnel, who found themselves abandoned and impoverished in the wake of the Soviet Union's dissolution. Unpaid and demoralized, these officers and soldiers faced a stark choice: succumb to destitution or succumb to temptation. The risk of nuclear materials being sold or stolen grew with each passing day.

Ultimately, this book offers a path forward, outlining the steps that must be taken to secure nuclear materials and prevent a global catastrophe. It is a call to action for governments, international organizations, and citizens alike to work together to address this urgent threat.

This book is a chilling reminder of the dangers of nuclear proliferation and a powerful indictment of the international community's failure to adequately address this threat. It is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of our planet.

Women of Ancient India - Sages...

Layla Gupta

Women in Ancient Indian mythology hold significant and multifaceted roles, often embodying both nurturing and destructive forces within the cosmic and earthly realms. These divine figures are central to the very fabric of the ancient Indian worldview, illustrating the depth and complexity of feminine energy. In these mythologies, women are not just passive characters but active, powerful beings who shape the universe, challenge societal norms, and assert their authority in the divine order.
One of the most notable representations of female power in Indian mythology is through goddesses. The concept of Shakti, or divine feminine energy, permeates many Hindu myths and is embodied by goddesses such as Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati. Durga, for instance, is a warrior goddess who symbolizes the victory of good over evil. She is often depicted riding a lion or tiger, wielding weapons in multiple hands, signifying her multifarious power and strength. Durga's myth tells of her battle with the demon Mahishasura, where she not only defeats him but also restores cosmic balance. This story symbolizes the resilience and power of feminine energy, which is integral to the maintenance of order in the universe.
Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, prosperity, and beauty, represents another facet of feminine influence. While her power is associated with material and spiritual wealth, her role is not passive. Lakshmi’s mythology highlights her active involvement in ensuring prosperity and well-being, both on a personal and societal level. She is often depicted as a source of light, standing on a lotus, symbolizing purity and the abundance that follows divine favor.

All This Healing is Killing Me -...

Gabrielle Pelicci

At age 20, Gabrielle Pelicci returned from her modeling career in NYC to her hometown of Scranton, PA where her mother suddenly passed away. At her mother’s funeral, Gabrielle had a spiritual experience that left her reeling and set her on a heroine’s journey to learn about both the scientific and mystical explanations of human consciousness. Gabrielle studied a dozen healing practices, from alternative medicine to yoga, including travel immersions in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Over the next 10 years, her complex PTSD symptoms persisted. Little by little, Gabrielle’s childhood experiences of domestic violence, and her parents’ mental illnesses and addictions are revealed. At age 30, still grieving the loss of her mother and disgusted with the fact that she can’t overcome her anxiety and depression, Gabrielle attempted to take her own life. Luckily, she survived and continued her journey of healing and trauma recovery, earning a Ph.D. and becoming a professor of Holistic Medicine, with a dissertation on Women Healers.
In this deeply personal and vulnerable account, Gabrielle reveals how childhood trauma impacts our physical and mental health — as well as our adult relationships. She explores how you are only as sick as your secrets and telling your story is the medicine that can save your life. All This Healing is Killing Me is a brave narrative that reckons with the hold of the past over the present, the mind over the body and celebrates one woman’s ability to write herself a happy ending.
