  This was the first speech given by the newly-elected President of the United States. In an already tense state, Lincoln made the address with the hopes that the discordant South would listen. While reinforcing that the Union would never break, he encouraged the south to lay down their arms while simultaneously warning that any act against the government would be considered “rebellion” and would be “met with force”. Given the night before the Civil War, Lincoln refuted the idea that the North and South were enemies and called for an end to the fighting.

This book can guide you as you support your loved one—without sacrificing your own needs and well-being. You'll find the answers to some of your most urgent questions, including: what are signs and clues of suicide risk; how do I talk with my loved one about their suicidal thoughts; when should I call the police; what do I say and do after a suicide attempt; what treatments for suicidality are available; how can I help the person I care about stay safe; what can I do to help them feel better, too; what can I do to cope better; and what does recovery look like after a suicidal crisis?

  Students of the works of James Allen all over the world will welcome with joy another book from his able pen. In this work we find the Prophet of Meditation in one of his deepest and yet most lucid expositions. How wonderfully he deals with fundamental principles! Here the reader will find no vague statement of generalities, for the writer enters with tender reverence into every detail of human experience. It is as though he came back to The Shining Gateway, and, standing there, he reviewed all the way up which his own feet have traveled, passing over no temptation that is common to man; knowing that the obstacles that barred his ascending pathway, or the clouds that at times obscured his vision, are the common experiences of all those who have set their faces towards the heights of Blessed Vision. As we read his words now, he seems to stand and beckon to us, saying, "Come on, my fellow Pilgrims; it is straight ahead to the Shining Gateway; I have blazed the track for you." In sending forth this, another posthumous volume from his pen, we have no doubt but that it will help many and many an aspiring soul up to the heights, until at last they too stand within The Shining Gateway. - Summary by Editor, The Shining Gateway

  Better Late Than Early - A New...

  "Moore Brings a wealth of evidence from a wide variety of sources to indicate that early schooling, although promoting (perhaps) earlier cognitive organization, introduces a host of fateful “iatrogenic” disturbances. Our knowledge of maturation, development, developmental stages, and critical developmental periods for the human, all support Moore’s basic thesis... "Of what value is the educational process, if the very process, when prematurely introduced within the unfolding epigenetic field, distorts the developing psychic structure so as to interfere with future education, and learning to live and learning to love, let alone learning to learn. This is an important book for parents and for professionals. It warns, it offers alternatives, and it never loses sight of its main focus, the health, happiness and ‘fundamental education’ of our children." 
  “...the authors have made an extensive review of the literature available and have strongly come out on that basis as well as on the basis of their professional experience and research-on the side that “it is better late than early,” in terms of education... The book’s value is further enhanced by its very lucid exposition and by the fact that a multidisciplinary approach to the problem was taken, combining the knowledge and findings of the educator, the neurophysiologist, the developmental psychologist, the child psychiatrist, the sociologist, the parent, etc. 
  Personally, though I occasionally disagree with some of the views presented, I gladly acknowledge that I found myself, after reading it, enlightened and enriched in many ways. I suspect the same will be true for many of its readers.”

  AI, Can It Become Like a Human? 
  Can AI truly achieve consciousness and self-awareness like humans? 
  This book examines the human condition and the AI condition through original empirical reasoning grounded in strict logic, without unnecessary discourse. By focusing on core evidence and concrete cases, it arrives at answers that carry unexpected impact. 
  Is AI capable of thinking and acting like a human? If so, when will the conditions for that be fully met? 
  The book begins with this fundamental question and delves into the mechanisms of AI learning. It questions whether massive data injection is truly useful for AI, and whether mechanical responses in internet communication can be considered genuine learning. 
  AI is no longer merely a tool—it is steadily approaching the human condition. 
  At the boundary between core expansion and the emergence of feeling, this book presents new possibilities through philosophical and experimental analysis.
