Delphi Complete Works of Sulpicius Severus Illustrated

Sulpicius Severus

Synopsis

A fourth century Christian ascetic, Sulpicius Severus is an important authority for Gallo-Roman history and the most graceful writer of his time. His most famous work is a biography of Saint Martin of Tours, of whom he was a disciple and his most famous hagiographer. He also wrote an influential ‘Sacred History’, narrating events from the Creation to his own time, while omitting the Gospels.

Supersurvivors - The Surprising...

Anonyme

Starting where resiliency studies leave off, two psychologists explore the science of remarkable accomplishment in the wake of trauma, revealing the surprising principles that allow people to transform their lives and achieve extraordinary things.
Over four billion people worldwide will survive a trauma during their lives. Some will experience severe post-traumatic stress. Most will eventually recover and return to life as normal. But sometimes, survivors do more than bounce back. Sometimes they bounce forward.
These are the Supersurvivors—individuals who not only rebuild their lives, but also thrive and grow in ways never previously imagined. Beginning where resilience ends, David B. Feldman and Lee Daniel Kravetz look beyond the tenets of traditional psychology for a deeper understanding of the strength of the human spirit. What they have found flies in the face of conventional wisdom—that positive thinking may hinder more than help; that perceived support can be just as good as the real thing; and that realistic expectations may be a key to great success.
They introduce the humble but powerful notion of grounded hope as the foundation for overcoming trauma. The authors interviewed dozens of men and women whose stories serve as the counterpoint to the latest scientific research. Feldman and Kravetz then brilliantly weave these extraordinary narratives with new science, creating an emotionally compelling and thought-provoking look at what is possible in the face of human tragedy. Supersurvivors will reset our thinking about how we deal with challenges, no matter how big or small.

The Great Beyond - Unraveling...

John Harpoon

The concept of life after death is one of humanity’s most profound and enduring mysteries. Across cultures and time periods, people have sought to understand what happens after we take our last breath. Whether driven by religious beliefs, philosophical musings, or personal experiences, the question of the afterlife has shaped much of human thought and civilization. It has influenced not only religious teachings but also art, literature, and even scientific inquiries into consciousness and the nature of existence. 
Throughout history, the afterlife has been envisioned in countless ways. Ancient Egyptians believed in a journey to the underworld where the soul would face judgment, while the Greeks and Romans saw it as a realm of shadows or a place of eternal bliss for the virtuous. In the East, Hinduism and Buddhism introduced the concept of reincarnation, where the soul is reborn into new lives, shaped by karma. Similarly, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism have their own distinct visions of heaven, hell, and the possibility of eternal life. 
Despite the diversity of beliefs, there is a common thread that runs through all of them: the hope that death is not the end, but a transition to another realm or state of being. For many, the afterlife provides comfort, offering a sense of continuity after the end of physical existence. For others, it serves as a source of moral guidance, with promises of reward for virtue and punishment for wrongdoing.
