Sinossi

During most of the eleven months between D-day and V-E day in Europe, the U S Army was carrying on highly successful offensive operations. As a consequence, the American soldier was buoyed with success, imbued with the idea that his enemy could not strike him a really heavy counterblow, and sustained by the conviction that the war was nearly won. This volume deals with the crucial period of the European campaign conducted in the Belgian Ardennes and Luxembourg, generally known as the Battle of the Bulge.

    The Acropolis, which literally means “a city on the heights,” is a citadel whose currently surviving structures were mostly built during the 5th century B.C. in honor of Athena, the patron goddess of Athens. It functioned as a sacred precinct that contained the city’s most important religious and municipal structures, many of which have remained relatively intact for over 2,000 years. The Propylaea (the gateway to the Acropolis), the Parthenon (the principal shrine to the goddess), the Erechtheion (a shrine that supposedly houses the burial grounds of mythical Athenian kings), and the Temple of Athena Nike all survive to this day, and for these reasons, the Acropolis is perhaps the definitive and most eloquent expression of classical architecture, if not of the classical form itself. The Acropolis, which literally means “a city on the heights,” is a citadel whose currently surviving structures were mostly built during the 5th century B.C. in honor of Athena, the patron goddess of Athens.  
    	The center of political and commercial interaction in the Ancient Greek polis was the agora. The word essentially means a gathering place or an open space, and in all Greek city states, the agora was central to all aspects of daily life and commerce. As the agora developed as a civic space, particularly from the 6th century B.C. onward in Athens, the architectural splendor of the buildings associated with it became an ever more obvious demonstration of the power and glory of Athenian democracy. 	In its earliest forms, an agora in maritime cities was invariably situated near the sea, while in inland urban centers, it was usually located at the foot of the hill that normally provided the city’s ultimate defense. The agora was always the oldest part of any city and, as such, and as well as being the commercial hub of the area, also became the center of the religious and political life of the polis.

    The Novel That Changed the World.
    
    Experience the raw, unflinching power of Upton Sinclair's masterpiece, The Jungle. Originally intended to expose the brutal conditions faced by immigrants in Chicago's Stockyards, this "muckraking" classic instead ignited a national firestorm over food safety, directly leading to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act.
    
    Follow the heartbreaking journey of Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant who arrives in America full of hope, only to be crushed by the industrial machine of the meatpacking district. Sinclair paints a vivid, terrifying portrait of systemic corruption, poverty, and the hazardous realities of early 20th-century labor.
    
    More than just a historical document, The Jungle remains a gripping and essential work of social justice literature. It is a profound exploration of the American Dream turned nightmare and a testament to the power of a single book to transform a society.
    
    Bear witness to the story that demanded justice. Buy "The Jungle" today and own a piece of literary and social history.

    Forgiveness after Trauma - A...

    Susannah Griffith wishes she had spent less time thinking about forgiveness. But as a Christian minister, a biblical scholar, and a survivor of abuse, she has learned a lot about it. 
     
     
     
    In Forgiveness after Trauma, Griffith explores what the Bible says—and doesn't say—about the biblical call to forgive. She helps listeners understand this command in ways that are healing and restorative, framing it within broader concerns around lament, anger, accountability, release and rebirth, and reconciliation. 
     
     
     
    The result is what Griffith calls "trauma-informed forgiveness," which takes seriously God's forgiveness of sinners while centering survivors of abuse and aiding their healing. This view also empowers those who have been harmed in other ways by abuses of power and justice in religious institutions. 
     
     
     
    Listeners will resonate with Griffith's astute biblical analysis and personal reflection, which point to God's love—a love that never includes abuse and strives for justice for the vulnerable.
