Sinopse

Sir Thomas More (1478-1535), venerated in the Catholic Church as Saint Thomas More, was an English lawyer, judge, social philosopher, author, statesman, theologian, and noted Renaissance humanist. A Rosicrucian initiate, according to Italian scholars Paolo Rumor and Diego Marin, he was affiliated with one of the most powerful and secret initiatory organizations of all time.More served Henry VIII as Lord Chancellor from October 1529 to May 1532, and is best known for writing Utopia, published in 1516, considered the first Rosicrucian manifesto, a work describing the political system of an imaginary island state, in which many have seen anticipations of the basic principles of modern Freemasonry.Sir Thomas More's Lady Fortune, often called The Verses of Fortune, dating back to the early 16th century, is a philosophical dialogue dramatizing human struggle against the "allure of Fortune's fleeting goods". The dialogue depicts Lady Fortune and a wise interlocutor discussing how to achieve true "happiness" by choosing "happy Poverty" and focusing on what "nature can support", rather than being influenced by wealth and power.In the opinion of many historians and literary critics, this work was likely intended as a preface to an early English version of a book on lottery, with the aim of advising readers not to take games of chance too seriously. Instead, it is a work with profound philosophical, ethical, and initiatory meanings.

    The Least Retraumatizing Read on Childhood Sexual Abuse.  
    For Survivors, by a Survivor. 
     
    Healing Honestly is a candid, poignant, and often funny survivor-to-survivor guide to navigating the salty waters of untrue stories and victim-blaming narratives that survivors of child sex abuse hear every day. 
     
    Survivors of child sex abuse (CSA) are inundated with untrue stories of their abuse, the aftermath, and what their healing journey should look like. The truth is those stories are a bunch of hot garbage.  
      
    Healing Honestly is a guide for survivors, written by a survivor, helping to break through the negative self-talk and debunk the myths that impact victims of CSA, such as:  
    -	There is a "real" survivor out there, and we are not it.  
    -	It happened so long ago that we should be over it by now.  
    -	We are having too much sex because of our trauma, and also, we are having too little sex because of our trauma.  
      
    With an approachable style that makes heavy topics not so damn scary, this book shows how trauma survivors can learn to identify these untrue stories that often come up in dating, in friendships, in families, at work, and more. Readers will discover strategies for turning down the volume on the bullshit so that they can hear their own wisdom and inner truth more clearly.   
      
    Full of wit and humor, Healing Honestly offers practical strategies for survivors of sex abuse to support themselves in living full and vibrant lives.

    Kurdische Erinnerungen an den Genozid an den Armeniern stellen die systematische Leugnung durch die türkischen Staatsstrukturen in Frage und eröffnen neue Möglichkeiten der Vergangenheitsbewältigung. Dieses Buch untersucht kurdische Biografien, insbesondere aus Van in der Türkei, und erforscht die Dynamik der miteinander verflochtenen Erinnerungsregime in Bezug auf die politische Gewalt an Armeniern und syrischen Christ*innen der osmanischen kaiserlichen Untertanen und an kurdischen Bürger*innen der Türkei. Diese Lebensgeschichten beleuchten die Komplexität des Erinnerns, einschließlich kollektiver und individueller Erinnerungsvorstellungen über Gewalt, Täterschaft und Opferrolle in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart.

    Andrew Jackson's rise to prominence began in the backwoods of the Carolinas, where he was born in 1767 to Irish immigrant parents. Orphaned at a young age and shaped by the violence of the Revolutionary War, Jackson's early years were filled with hardship and struggle. These formative experiences instilled in him a fierce independence and an unwavering sense of personal honor, traits that would define his character for the rest of his life. Largely self-taught and known for his fiery temper, Jackson developed a reputation for toughness, earning the nickname “Old Hickory” from soldiers who served under him. Despite limited formal education, he pursued a career in law and eventually moved westward to Tennessee, where he would find opportunity and recognition. 
    Jackson's military career was the first major platform that launched him into the national spotlight. During the War of 1812, he was appointed a general in the U.S. Army and quickly demonstrated his capabilities as a leader. His most celebrated moment came at the Battle of New Orleans in January 1815. Although the battle technically took place after the war had officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, news had not yet reached American forces. Jackson’s troops, composed of militia, freedmen, Native Americans, and even pirates, faced a professional British army. Against the odds, they achieved a decisive victory, inflicting heavy casualties while suffering minimal losses. This triumph turned Jackson into a national hero and a symbol of American resilience and patriotism. The victory solidified his image as a man of action who could defend the country against foreign threats.

    Under the cover of night, on February 19, 1973, another U.S. president witnessed extraterrestrials. 
     
     
     
    President Richard Nixon made a secret trip to a top security U.S. Air Force base, as his former boss, President Dwight Eisenhower, did in 1954. Nixon was said to have taken his golfing buddy, comedian Jackie Gleason. According to Gleason's then wife, Beverly McKittrick Gleason, Jackie was deeply shaken later that night when he returned home and confessed to their clandestine trip. 
     
     
     
    As established in Smith's previous work, President Eisenhower's Close Encounters, this meeting was reminiscent of and perhaps even predicated by similar visits made by the president's predecessors, as well as others in the American government and entertainment industry. This in-depth book will attempt to separate fact from fiction. These events were carried off without the public learning the hushed facts and data connecting the two different presidential administrations . . . 
     
     
     
    until now.
