Sinopse

In "The Origin and Situation of the Germans," Tacitus presents a meticulously detailed ethnographic study of the Germanic tribes, juxtaposing their customs, governance, and societal structures against the backdrop of Roman imperialism. The text is characterized by its succinct prose and keen observational style, seamlessly weaving historical analysis with vivid descriptions. Tacitus, through an impartial lens, critiques Roman civilization while illuminating the complexities of Germanic life, effectively capturing the ideological clash between the two cultures during the first century AD. His work serves not only as a valuable historical document but also as a reflection of Roman perceptions of the 'barbarian' other. Tacitus, a prominent Roman historian, was born around 56 AD and lived through a tumultuous period marked by political upheaval and moral decay within the Empire. His personal experiences, coupled with his interests in governance and ethical philosophy, likely influenced his exploration of Germanic societies. The disenchantment with contemporary Rome and a fascination with the perceived simplicity and virtue of the Germans manifest throughout Tacitus's writings, offering keen insights into his worldview. Readers intrigued by the intersection of history, culture, and identity will find Tacitus's work to be both enlightening and provocative. "The Origin and Situation of the Germans" not only serves as a foundational text for understanding Germanic heritage but also offers timeless reflections on the nature of civilization itself, making it essential reading for anyone interested in historical anthropology and classical studies.

    Vogue magazine started, like so many great things do, in the spare room of someone's house. But unlike other such makeshift projects that flare up then fizzle away, Vogue burnt itself onto our cultural consciousness. 
     
     
     
    Today, 128 years later, Vogue spans twenty-two countries, has an international print readership upwards of twelve million, and nets over sixty-seven million monthly online users. Uncontested market leader for a century, it is one of the most recognizable brands in the world and a multi-million dollar money-making machine. It is not just a fashion magazine, it is the establishment. But what—and more importantly who—made Vogue such an enduring success? 
     
     
     
    Glossy will answer this question and more by tracing the previously untold history of the magazine, from its inception as a New York gossip rag, to the sleek, corporate behemoth we know now. This will be a biography of Vogue in every sense of the word, taking the listener through three centuries, two world wars, plunging failures, and blinding successes, as it charts the story of the magazine and those who ran it.

    No prodigal is beyond the reach of God.   Do you have a child who has walked away from Jesus? Or have you walked away from Him yourself? Hope Lies Ahead captures the candid journey of a prodigal son’s return, written from the unique perspective of both the father who prayed and the son who struggled. Told together, their story will encourage you through the honesty of their pain and their compelling experience of God’s redemption.    Amid the heartache of watching his teenage son self-destruct and the realization that all he could do was pray, pastor James Banks wrote the popular book Prayers for Prodigals. At a low point, Geoffrey Banks recognized that life could be better, and he sensed Jesus calling him back. Now, Hope Lies Ahead tells the powerful story of God’s faithfulness to answer prayer and of the healing found in Him.    No matter what you’re struggling with—whether it’s you or a child who has abandoned faith or faces addiction or prison—you are not alone. There is hope in Jesus, who makes all things new.

    In the United States of America today we live in a time of problems, confusion, and with lots of fighting between the main political parties. 
    Yet, people from all over the world still want to come here. 
    Why do so many persons still want to become Americans? I think it is because the United States has become the guiding star for the growth of humanity, now and in the future. People see their best futures to be here. 
    There is nowhere else that the rights our citizens possess allow many to go from being penniless to a multimillionaire in their lifetimes. And the provisions of freedom of religion and freedom of speech are important to our full expression as human beings. 
    But most American citizens despair about their lives, and the future of our country. Due to our poor educational system many don’t know the true history of this country and how it was formed to spread the Spirit of God in our country and around the world. 
    And what about new industries created here in the USA? In fact can anyone name a new industry which was not created here? 
    The purpose of this book is to show how the Spirit of God in man during the history of United States of America has made a huge positive difference in our world. 
    We should be extremely proud of the country we live in. 
    The United States was the light of the world in the past, is still in the present, and will continue to be so in the future.
