Sinopsis

The Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete stands as an unparalleled historical document and literary masterpiece, chronicling the life of a man from 1660 to 1669 in Restoration England. Pepys's diary is marked by its candidness, rich detail, and vivid portrayal of contemporary events, reflecting a society in transition. His unique blend of personal reflections, societal observations, and historical accounts offers invaluable insights into daily life, politics, and the Great Plague, as well as the Great Fire of London, establishing a profound narrative that transcends his time and illuminates human experience. Pepys's engaging prose, characterized by its immediacy and clarity, serves both as a personal chronicle and an essential historical record, firmly positioning the work within the tradition of English diaries while defying strict literary classification. Samuel Pepys, a prominent naval official and Member of Parliament, was deeply immersed in the political and cultural currents of his era. His commitment to meticulous documentation stems from both a personal inclination toward record-keeping and a desire to preserve the tumultuous events of his time, driven by a keen sense of history. Pepys's unique position in society afforded him access to influential circles, which allowed him to witness the confluence of personal and public life, an interplay he adeptly captures in his diary. The Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete is a seminal work for anyone intrigued by history, literature, or the intricacies of human behavior. It invites readers to traverse the rich tapestry of 17th-century England, blending personal narrative with larger historical trajectories. Whether you are a scholar, a historian, or a casual reader, Pepys's insightful observations and vibrant storytelling promise an enlightening and immersive experience.

    Antisemitism - What Everyone...

    History teaches that antisemitism is a disease which begins with the Jews but does not end with them. Once antisemitism is unleashed, it knows no bounds and can attack the very fabric of society. This deadly strain of hatred often turns against other minority groups too, not to mention foundational democratic values, beginning with equal rights and equal protection before the law. Therefore, antisemitism should be viewed as a universal human rights issue of importance to all, and not solely as a parochial Jewish or Israeli concern.Antisemitism: What Everyone Needs to Know® explores how, in the twenty-first century, antisemitism is once again resurgent. In recent years, the FBI reported that well over half of all religiously motivated hate crimes in the United States targeted Jews, even though Jews comprise just over two percent of the population. It is striking how little understood antisemitism, including the term itself, still is. This extends quite widely to political leaders, educational authorities, law enforcement and the judiciary, civic groups, and media outlets. Polls have also shown how knowledge of the Holocaust, which was widely considered to be a firewall against the resurgence of antisemitism, is declining, notwithstanding ongoing attention to the topic in education, museums and memorials, and culture.

  • From Outer Space to Inner Space - An Apollo Astronaut's Journey Through the Material and Mystical Worlds - cover

    From Outer Space to Inner Space...

    Dr. Edgar Mitchell

    The sixth man who walked on the moon shares his journey to the stars, into the mind, and beyond. 
    In February 1971, as Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell hurtled Earthward through space, he was engulfed by a profound sense of universal connectedness. He intuitively sensed that his presence and that of the planet in the window were all part of a deliberate, universal process, and that the glittering cosmos itself was, in some way, conscious. The experience was so overwhelming, Mitchell knew his life would never be the same.  
    For the next thirty-five years, he embarked on another journey, an inward exploration of the ineffable mystery of human consciousness and being. Mitchell left NASA to form the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). There he initiated research in areas of study previously neglected by mainstream science and constructed a theory that could explain not only the mysteries of consciousness, but also the psychic event—what spiritualists call a “miracle” and scientists dismiss altogether.  
    Mitchell also created a new dyadic model of reality, revealing a self-aware universe not predetermined by the laws of physics, preordained by deities, or infinitely malleable. While human actions are generally subject to the laws of physics, these laws are also influenced by the mind.  
    From Outer Space to Inner Space traces two remarkable journeys—one through space and one through the mind. Together they fundamentally alter the way we understand the miracle and mystery of being, and ultimately reveal humankind’s role in its own destiny.  
    Previously published as The Way of the Explorer, this edition includes a new foreword by Avi Loeb, an afterword by Dean Radin, and a postscript chapter by the author.
