Sinopse

A fifth century Roman lawyer and historian, Sozomen was born into a wealthy family of Bethelia, a small town near Gaza, Palestine. His ‘Ecclesiastical History’ in nine books is broadly arranged along the reigns of Roman Emperors, from the conversion of Constantine I and the Council of Nicea (312-325) to the accession of Valentinian III (425). Sozomen’s text is distinguished for its classical literary style, its favouring of monasticism and its greater use of western European sources. His work had a lasting influence, preserving for the medieval church the majority of its knowledge of the period. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts.  This eBook presents Sozomen’s complete extant works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    Break Through the Limits of the Brain connects the dots between the discoveries of neuroscience and the meditation-born spiritual experience, and offers proven ways to tap into our superconscious potential. 
     
     
     
    Joseph Selbie explores the current neuroscientific understanding of the brain's dismaying degree of life-controlling influence on our thoughts, emotions, and behavior, and balances that understanding with neuroscience's discoveries of neuroplasticity and our innate ability to rewire the brain for any new purpose. 
     
     
     
    Break Through the Limits of the Brain delves into the scientific support for the existence of a subtle, nonlocal reality that strongly suggests that we exist simultaneously in both a subtle and a physical reality—and that our thoughts, life force, emotions, and memories originate nonlocally. 
     
     
     
    Meditation is a central theme of the book—what it is; how to do it; why it works; its physical, mental, and emotional benefits as measured by neuroscientists; and how it rewires the brain for superconscious awareness. 
     
     
     
    The book offers proven practices for bringing superconscious awareness into one's life for success, energy, health, peace of mind, and happiness.

    Maya Mythology - The Sacred...

    Maya mythology stands as one of the most intricate and profound systems of stories and beliefs in the ancient world, reflecting the depth of a civilization that thrived for thousands of years. These myths, preserved through oral traditions and later written texts such as the Popol Vuh, reveal the Maya’s understanding of the cosmos, their relationship with nature, and their spiritual connection to the divine. To study these myths is to step into a world where gods, humans, and nature are inseparably intertwined in a sacred dance of creation, destruction, and renewal.  
    The mythology of the Maya was not an isolated system of stories—it was deeply embedded in every aspect of their daily lives. From the way they organized their cities to the structure of their calendar, mythology shaped their worldview and guided their actions. The Maya believed that time itself was sacred, governed by cycles dictated by the gods, and their myths often sought to explain these patterns. The stories told by the Maya were not mere entertainment but vital teachings that conveyed the origins of life, the roles of the gods, and humanity’s responsibilities within the cosmic order.  
    A central feature of Maya mythology is its focus on creation. Myths like those found in the Popol Vuh detail the origins of the world, the struggles of the gods, and the creation of humanity. These stories emphasize the cyclical nature of existence, portraying creation and destruction as ongoing processes that ensure balance in the universe. For the Maya, myths served as reminders of humanity’s dependence on divine forces and the need to honor the gods through rituals, ceremonies, and offerings.

    The Roman Empire is coming apart at the seams, relying on German recruits and foederati to hold the empire together. The eastern and western empires are ruled by incompetent young men who allow their German warlords to rule for them, but imperial elites conspire against the generals. Yul the Younger is a Saxon boy negotiating life in the empire with strong ties to his family in Germania. His father, Yul the Elder, sends Yul to a monastery school to learn the ways of the empire, with the father serving the empire as a quaestor (treasurer) in the east of Britannia. Yul the elder’s job is to make certain that the mostly German troopers of the Saxon Shore are fed, equipped, and paid, but Romano-British landlords are withholding taxes while enslaving Germans and building lavish country houses. Life in the monastic school at Verulamium (Saint Albans) proves difficult for Yul the Younger with monks insisting he give up his Germanic gods for Christ. He is also harassed by the entitled sons of British elites. Yul dares to make his escape with his best friend, a Pict, named Keaffer. Both enlist in the Brave Companions stationed at Othona as self-declared Emperor Flavius Claudius Constantine opts to invade Gaul to capture the purple and stop the Germanic tribes from crossing the Rhine Frontier to settle in the dying empire. Tall, blond, and broad, Yul joins the invasion of Europa. He also finds love and seeks revenge for the wrongs committed by Britons against his family and companions.

    Mission Iran - Special Forces...

    On November 4, 1979, "student" supporters of the Ayatollah seized the U.S. Embassy with over sixty hostages. Although the Cold War was in full swing, the Iran hostage crisis was a watershed for the United States. 
     
     
     
    Detachment A had been established in Berlin early in the Cold War to harass and delay any Soviet military advance west. This Special unit trained relentlessly for every aspect of unconventional warfare, and was later assigned a second mission of counterterrorism. 
     
     
     
    The plan for Operation Eagle Claw, as it became known, was extremely complex. The first stage was intelligence gathering—no mean feat as most of the CIA's capabilities in the country had been eliminated. With operatives trained in intelligence work, fluent in many languages, and adept at blending in, Det A took on the advanced recon of the targets. Then, when Delta Force admitted that it could only manage the assault of the Embassy, Det A volunteered to rescue the three Americans at the Foreign Ministry. 
     
     
     
    Veteran and historian James Stejskal details Det A's unique and integral role in Operation Eagle Claw, based upon firsthand accounts of the operatives involved.
