Sinopsis

In "Historical Record of the Seventeenth Regiment of Light Dragoons;—Lancers," Richard Cannon meticulously chronicles the illustrious history of a regiment that played a pivotal role in British military campaigns from its inception in the late 18th century through the next century. Cannon employs a detailed narrative style that blends historical analysis with vivid descriptions of military engagements, personnel, and regimental culture. His work is set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars and the expansive British Empire, reflecting both the valor and the evolving strategies of cavalry units during a time when rapid industrialization and warfare began to reshape military tactics. Richard Cannon, a noted military historian and librarian, produced this work as part of a broader endeavor to document the regiments of the British Army. His passion for history and his extensive experience in military record-keeping and documentation reflect a commitment to honoring those who served. Cannon's authoritative perspective is informed by both primary sources and a deep understanding of military organization, making his narratives rich in context and detail, which enhances the reader's grasp of the subject. For scholars, history enthusiasts, and military aficionados alike, Cannon's "Historical Record of the Seventeenth Regiment of Light Dragoons;—Lancers" offers a compelling insight into the lives of the soldiers and the significance of their contributions. This work not only enriches our understanding of British military history but also serves as a tribute to the bravery and endurance of the regiment. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a comprehensive study of a unique military unit.

    A Fascinating Exploration on Why the Darwinists' Theory No Longer Explains Everything 
     
     
     
    Everywhere there are characteristics of animals that do not want to fit into the theory of evolution anywhere. And man? Are we really the most adapted life-form on this planet? Today, more and more scientists who contradict the previous theory of evolution speak out. The theory fits the changes within the species, but it can no longer be reconciled with the inner workings of the cell. Some other influence that has so far escaped us is affecting evolution. It is called "Intelligent Design." Intelligent planning is suspected behind this. Anyone or anything—a spirit of the universe? aliens?—could be behind this planning. 
     
     
     
    In this must-listen book, Erich von Däniken uses countless examples to demonstrate the impossibility of the previous evolutionary idea. He quotes scientists who argue against the previous teaching, but also those who defend it. Unfortunately, established science still refuses to look at discrepancies and holes in the theory of evolution, even though it is quite obvious that there is more going on with regard to the development of all species, as well as human culture, than could be explained by the theory of evolution alone.

    From the ascent of Peter the Great to the Russian Revolution. From the Battle of the Boyne to the Easter Rising. Between these epochal events were two astounding centuries of war, diplomacy, intrigue, innovation and international radical political movements, the reverberations of which are still felt in both Ireland and the former territories of the Russian empire today.
    In Anarchy and Authority, readers follow contemporaneous accounts of Irish men and women who ventured into the Russian empire during the long centuries of Romanov rule. Human connections, political intrigues, cultural cross-pollination mesh with sweeping historical narratives in the story of the island and the empire.
    Meticulously researched and energetically told, these are the stories of Irish residents, travellers and migrants to Russia from that time, ranging from diplomats and governesses, to early tourists, travel writers, soldiers, servants and even a revolutionary music-teacher. From the Irishmen and women who benefitted from the imperial wars waged by the Russian state, to those Irish observers who bore witness to the horrors of serfdom and the oppression of dissenting voices.
    Anarchy and Authority brings to vivid life these Irish perspectives. Their fascinating insights and unique depths of field give increasing relevance to the turbulent geo-politics of modern times.

    Shinto, often referred to as "the way of the gods," is Japan's indigenous spiritual tradition, rich in rituals, beliefs, and practices that have evolved over centuries. Unlike many organized religions, Shinto does not have a single founder or a unified doctrine; instead, it is a diverse amalgamation of ancient animistic beliefs, reverence for nature, and deep respect for ancestral spirits. This uniqueness allows Shinto to seamlessly blend with other spiritual practices, particularly Buddhism, which has coexisted with it for over a millennium. 
    At the heart of Shinto is the concept of kami, the spirits or deities that inhabit all aspects of the natural world. These kami are not limited to grand gods; they can also include the spirits of mountains, rivers, trees, and even objects. This belief fosters a profound connection between individuals and their environment, promoting an ethos of harmony and respect for nature. Rituals and practices in Shinto are designed to honor these kami, ensuring their favor and maintaining the delicate balance between humanity and the natural world. 
    Throughout Japan’s history, Shinto has played a significant role in shaping cultural identity, national consciousness, and social customs. The tradition has influenced art, literature, and festivals, providing a lens through which to understand the values and beliefs of the Japanese people. From the serene beauty of shrine architecture to the vibrant celebrations of seasonal festivals, Shinto permeates daily life and cultural expression. 
    In this book, we will explore the historical development of Shinto, its core beliefs and practices, the significance of kami and rituals, and the interplay between Shinto and other religious traditions.

    The contents of this volume consist of addresses delivered at various times before Lodges of the Theosophical Society and selected for their reference to the subject of immortality. Some of them were published in The Path, Vol. II. 
    In order to make the chapters more or less coherent, the matter has been slightly rearranged, but certain repetitions will be noticed which are unavoidable, owing to the inter-relation of the subjects discussed and to the fact that, having been addressed to different audiences, some explanation of the bearing of the part on the whole was necessary. I have not attempted to eliminate these redundancies, for the philosophy, sketchily outlined herein, is not easy to grasp, inasmuch as its fundamental data and principles are in contradistinction to much of the current thought of our time. 
    I. THE APPROACH TO THE PATH and FOREWARD 
    II. THE RACES OF HUMANITY 
    III. SENSE-FUNCTIONS AND FACULTIES OF THE MIND 
    IV. INDIVIDUALITY AND PERSONALITY 
    V. BREATH AND DESIRE 
    VI. WILL, UNIVERSAL AND INDIVIDUAL 
    VII. THOUGHT - ITS ORIGIN AND CONTROL 
    VIII. BIRTH AND DEATH
