  Germany and the World Wars: The...

  Not surprisingly, German unity in 1871 caused geopolitical ripples that reverberated for decades. Other larger European powers, such as Britain, France, and Russia, came to feel threatened by the rise of Germany. These tensions were still prevalent at the outbreak of World War I in 1914, and it became even more important in World War II. In part this was because Germany also became an economic powerhouse, fundamentally altering the global economy. Alongside the rapid expansion of the United States, trade went through a transformation that still has ramifications today. 
  Germany's defeat in World War I brought about the Weimar Republic, but Weimar has since become a byword for a failed, tragic, political experiment. The official period of its existence, 1919-1933, marked the interwar years in Germany and their related uncertainty, chaos, and the state’s ultimate collapse. Historians have found the roots of Nazism embedded in the Weimar years and that in the final analysis, Weimar politicians voluntarily handed over power to the man who wrought destruction on an epic scale, Adolf Hitler. This set the German nation irrevocably on the path towards World War II. That war would plunge much of the planet into an existential battle that ultimately cost an estimated 60 million lives.

  Essays: First Series Compensation

  Ralph Waldo Emerson

  A world in perfect balance—so claims Emerson in Compensation, an essay that pulses with quiet defiance and deep assurance. No gain without loss, no misstep without lesson, no fortune without its hidden tax. It is neither fate nor blind justice but a living rhythm, an invisible hand that rights every scale, even when human eyes fail to see.
  Emerson does not preach; he unfolds. The idea seeps in, settles, challenges. His words are not doctrine but a lens—through which prosperity and misfortune reveal themselves as two faces of the same coin. To take without giving, to rise without cost—impossible. The universe does not permit such imbalances to last.
  In his signature style, Emerson moves between the poetic and the philosophical, the tangible and the transcendent. He speaks not to convince but to awaken. He does not offer comfort; he offers clarity. The reader who steps into Compensation may leave unsettled, yet somehow lighter, as if a long-unnoticed weight has been named, measured, and, at last, understood.

  Audiobook narrated by the author. 
  Play can unlock your creativity and lead to innovation and success—creative director Piera Gelardi shows you how. 
  The demands of adulthood often cause us to view play as something child-like, silly, and ultimately separate from our real lives. In treating it like a luxury, we fail to experience the critical advantage that play offers us to lead whole, successful lives. 
  Play—a state of absorption in activities for enjoyment or exploration—can be a superpower at any age, and individuals who engage in more frequent play tend to have better psychological and physical functioning. In The Playful Way, creative director Piera Gelardi helps adults reclaim their playfulness by developing a more playful mindset and applying it to their life, work, relationships, changes, and challenges. Anyone can rediscover their sense of wonder by embracing life the playful way, a path that offers advantages, unlocks innovation, and feels a whole lot better. Science has proven these and more benefits of a playful mindset: 
  Improved mental healthImproved physical health thanks to enduring commitment to (fun!) fitnessTrust and creativity in teams 
   
  Focusing on both the light and fun and the tough and serious, The Playful Way is a guide to reconnecting with your inner child and realizing that when you have a playful mindset, you don’t have to go play. Play comes with you everywhere. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
