  Stoicism: Using the Timeless Philosophy of the Ancient Greek Stoa to Achieve Greater Composure, Balance, and Contentment in Everyday Life
   
  "With stoic calm": That's how people describe individuals who seemingly can't be thrown off balance by anything—and perhaps you wish that for yourself more often, too? In that case, you should take a closer look at the actual Stoa, and this book will show you how easily Stoicism can be integrated into your everyday life!
  Reacting to events without emotion and not letting joyful occasions, annoyances, or strokes of fate affect you: this Stoa stereotype seems impossible and hardly desirable—but wouldn't a bit more control over your inner life be nice? Then a modern Stoicism approach is your royal road, because the fundamental idea of its founder Zeno is more relevant today than ever: leading a good life in which your internal and external worlds are in harmonious alignment. To achieve this, one must become master of their emotions and passions—and fortunately, with a little patience, it's quite simple to learn. In this book, you will first familiarize yourself with the theoretical foundations of Stoicism before discovering how to put them into practice. By working through a variety of exercises, tasks, and challenges, you will apply what you've learned and gradually develop the Stoa mindset. Prior knowledge or experience? Not required! Thanks to straightforward explanations and immediately applicable techniques, even newcomers can start effortlessly and achieve impressive results in no time.
  At a Glance: Dive into the origins, central teachings, and fundamental assumptions of Stoicism and learn the 5 steps to a Stoic mindset.

  The Ultimate Discipline: Find out how to apply your newly acquired skills in situations involving relationships, career development, or everyday challenges, and benefit from the Stoa in a comprehensive way.

  The Man Nobody Killed - Life...

  “A powerful reclamation.”—AudioFileThe first comprehensive audiobook about Michael Stewart, the young Black artist and model who was the victim of a fatal assault by police in 1983, from Elon Green, the Edgar Award-winning author of Last Call.This program, read by multi Audie award-winning narrator Dion Graham, features a bonus conversation between the author and gallerist Patrick Fox, who rented Michael Stewart studio space in New York City.At twenty-five years old, Michael Stewart was a young Black aspiring artist, deejay, and model, looking to make a name for himself in the vibrant downtown art scene of the early 1980’s New York City. On September 15, 1983, he was brutally beaten by New York City Transit Authority police for allegedly tagging a 14th Street subway station wall.Witnesses reported officers beating him with billy clubs and choking him with a nightstick. Stewart arrived at Bellevue Hospital hog-tied with no heartbeat and died after thirteen days in a coma. This was, at that point, the most widely noticed act of police brutality in the city's history. The Man Nobody Killed recounts the cultural impact of Michael Stewart’s life and death.The Stewart case quickly catalyzed movements across multiple communities. It became a rallying cry, taken up by artists and singers including Madonna, Keith Haring, Spike Lee, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, tabloid legends such as Jimmy Breslin and Murray Kempton, and the pioneering local news reporter, Gabe Pressman. The Stewart family and the downtown arts community of 1980s New York demanded justice for Michael, leading to multiple investigations into the circumstances of his wrongful death.Elon Green, the Edgar Award–winning author of Last Call, presents the first comprehensive narrative account of Michael Stewart's life and killing, the subsequent court proceedings, and the artistic aftermath. In the vein of The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace and His Name is George Floyd, Green brings us the story of a promising life cut short and a vivid snapshot of the world surrounding this loss. A tragedy set in stark contrast against the hope, activism, and creativity of the 1980’s New York City art scene, The Man Nobody Killed serves as a poignant reminder of recurring horrors in American history and explores how, and for whom, the justice system fails.A Macmillan Audio production from Celadon Books.

  The Rise of Capitalism - How...

  The origins of capitalism can be traced back to the gradual shift from feudal economies to market-based systems. In medieval Europe, wealth was primarily tied to land ownership, with a rigid social hierarchy that limited economic mobility. The feudal system depended on agrarian production, where peasants worked the land owned by nobles in exchange for protection. However, as trade expanded and urban centers grew, the foundations of capitalism began to emerge. 
  One of the earliest indicators of this transformation was the rise of merchant guilds and early banking systems. As trade routes connected Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, merchants sought more efficient ways to conduct business, leading to the establishment of guilds that regulated commerce and maintained quality standards. Banking families, such as the Medici in Renaissance Italy, played a crucial role in financing trade and investment, paving the way for modern financial institutions. The shift toward money-based transactions rather than bartering allowed wealth to accumulate outside the traditional feudal framework. 
  Another key development was the concept of private property and individual ownership. In the late medieval period, the enclosure movement in England marked a significant departure from communal farming practices. Landowners began fencing off common lands for private use, displacing many rural laborers and forcing them to seek employment in emerging industries. This shift not only created a labor force for industrial production but also reinforced the idea that property and capital could be owned, bought, and sold freely—an essential pillar of capitalism.

  Vikings in the East - From...

  Martyn Whittock

  In Western Europe, we typically associate Vikings with the storm-tossed waters of the North Sea and the North Atlantic, the deep Scandinavian fjords and the attacks on the monasteries and settlements of north-western Europe. This popular image rarely includes the river systems of Russia and Ukraine, the wide sweep of the Eurasian steppe, the far shores of the Caspian Sea, the incense and rituals of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the high walls and towers of the city of Constantinople. Yet for many Viking raiders, traders and settlers, it was the road to the East that beckoned.
  These Viking adventurers founded the Norse–Slavic dynasties of the Rus, which are entangled in the bitterly contested origin myths of Russia and Ukraine. The Rus were the first community in the region to convert to Christianity – in its Eastern Orthodox form – and so they are at the heart of the concept of 'Holy Russia'. Russian rulers have frequently referenced these Norse origins when trying to enhance their power and secure control over the Ukrainian lands, most recently demonstrated by Vladimir Putin as his justification for seizing Crimea and invading Ukraine.
  In this fascinating and timely book, historian Martyn Whittock explores the important but often misunderstood and manipulated role played by the Vikings in the origins of Russian power, the deadly consequences of which we are still living with today.
