In "Strategemata," Sextus Julius Frontinus masterfully compiles a rich tapestry of military stratagems and tactics drawn from the annals of history. Written in the first century AD, this treatise juxtaposes anecdotal narratives with analytical insights, revealing the cunning maneuvers employed by ancient generals to outwit their foes. Frontinus's literary style, marked by clarity and eloquence, situates the text within the broader context of Roman military literature, expertly illustrating the interplay between strategy, deception, and the psychological dimensions of warfare. His work serves not only as a manual for military leaders but also as a reflection on the nature of power and human behavior in the face of conflict.

It offers readers keen insights into the art of strategy, ensuring that its relevance resonates even in contemporary discussions on military tactics and leadership. Dive into this compelling work to uncover the classical underpinnings of strategy that inform modern principles of conflict resolution and military thought.

African Mythology: Enthralling...

Billy Wellman

Africa is huge and varied, and so is its mythology. 
African ideas of how the world began are very different from the story of Genesis. Though the creator god is repeatedly seen as having withdrawn from the world, people often have a very direct and intense relationship with demigods, ancestors, and bush spirits. The entire landscape is permeated by spiritual meanings and inhabited by gods and spirits. While many Africans today formally follow the Christian or Muslim faiths, they often blend these beliefs with traditional lore and rites. 
This audiobook examines the central themes of African mythology—the creation, gods and goddesses, trickster tales, animals, monsters, heroes, and mythical rulers—and shows how some motifs recur throughout the corpus of myths. It also looks at how African myths are becoming better known because of writers and filmmakers, particularly from the Black diaspora, who draw on this rich heritage for inspiration. 
This introductory guide to African myths will allow you to do the following:Learn why the original creator decided to withdraw from Earth.Find out how ancient Egypt had several different creation stories, depending on which god was in ascendancy at the time.Listen to the medieval African emperor said to have been the richest man in history.Find out where Br’er Rabbit really came from.Check out how Anansi the Spider gained ownership of all the stories in the world.Get to know Oshun, the Yoruba river goddess, and how she arrived in Latin America.Learn about Haile Selassie, the emperor who brought Ethiopia into the League of Nations, and how he became a living god to Jamaican Rastafarians.Understand how Voodoo (Vodou) grew out of traditional West African religion.

They Don't Understand Depression...

Michael D. Griffith

Have you ever wished you were dead? Do you understand that hopelessness? Is it lonely? In severe depression, you know how it feels when nobody else really understands. It's obvious from what "they" do and say that they've never felt what you feel. This book is not for them. If you do know what "they don't understand" means without my even explaining it, then this book is for you. I will say the uncomfortable, quiet parts out loud, even though we're not supposed to say what we really think. I'm just a guy who struggled for 14 years with strange, undiagnosed health problems, followed by 7 years in an emotional hellhole, before I miraculously found a glimmer of meaning in the dark. I can't understand your personal hell. However, if I articulate even a small part of what it means that "they don't understand," I ask you to consider my unique perspective on why your suffering matters. You can find peace to know that you do not suffer¿in vain. Your life can have meaning, and you can hope for relief.
