  Adapted from Decoded, Meltzer’s hit show on the HISTORY network, History Decoded explores fascinating, unexplained questions. Is Fort Knox empty? Why was Hitler so intent on capturing the Roman ‘Spear of Destiny'? What’s the government hiding in Area 51? Where did the Confederacy’s $19 million in gold and silver go at the end of the Civil War? And did Lee Harvey Oswald really act alone? Meltzer sifts through the evidence; weighs competing theories; separates what we know to be true with what’s still—and perhaps forever—unproved or unprovable; and in the end, decodes the mystery, arriving at the most likely solution. Along the way we meet Freemasons, Rosicrucians, Nazi propagandists, and the real DB Cooper.

  "The Principles of Political Economy, and Taxation" is a book written by David Ricardo, a British economist who lived from 1772 to 1823. First published in 1817, the book is considered a landmark in the development of classical economics, and is one of the most influential works in the field. 
  In the book, Ricardo lays out his theories of economic rent, labor value, and comparative advantage. He argues that economic rent, which is the difference between the value of a resource and its production cost, is the main source of wealth in an economy. He also discusses the relationship between labor and value, and how labor contributes to the creation of wealth. 
  Ricardo's most famous contribution to economics is his theory of comparative advantage, which argues that countries should specialize in producing goods for which they have a comparative advantage, even if they could produce other goods more efficiently. This theory has had a profound impact on international trade policy. 
  "The Principles of Political Economy, and Taxation" was controversial in its time, and Ricardo's ideas were met with criticism and opposition. However, his work has had a lasting impact on the field of economics, and is still studied and debated today.

  Hope for Caregivers - A 42-Day...

  "Caregiving is the holy act of the literal laying of hands on another to help and to heal. It requires strength, courage, and commitment to serve another intimately with dignity, respect, and love. The giving of such care, however, gives the one who cares a glimpse into God's priceless kenotic gift to humanity. This beautiful and important devotional based on Nouwen's magnanimous wisdom offers encouragement to those entrusted with caregiving by reminding them that what they are doing plants roots in the eternal—even in the hidden or lonely recesses of servitude, caregivers are seen, they matter, and they are upheld by the right hand of God!" — Carolyn Weber, caregiver, professor of literature, and author of Surprised by Oxford
  Henri Nouwen's timeless wisdom reminds us once again of the transformation that love brings, both when we allow ourselves to give love with abandon and when we allow ourselves to receive love.
  Caregiving too often is reduced to a list of tasks—doing the things that another individual cannot do independently. In six weeks of daily devotions inspired by the words of Henri Nouwen and intertwined with Scripture and prayer, Hope for Caregivers summons us away from our lists for a few moments each day and draws us to a fresh framework for the experience of giving care.

  What if the greatest freedom in life comes not from becoming more… but from becoming less? 
  Less fear. 
  Less attachment. 
  Less need to defend the fragile idea of "me." 
  In No-Self, Full Life, Ho Trung Le invites readers on a profound yet practical journey into one of the oldest and most transformative insights of Eastern wisdom: the understanding of no-self. 
  Blending Buddhist philosophy, modern psychology, personal reflection, and everyday humor, this book explores how the illusion of a fixed self creates suffering—and how letting go of that illusion opens the door to peace, clarity, love, and freedom. 
  This is not a book about disappearing from life. 
  It is about finally living it fully. 
  Inside, you will discover: 
  • Why the "self" feels so real—and why it may be the source of most anxiety 
  • How attachment, fear, anger, and comparison grow from ego-identification 
  • The relationship between no-self, mindfulness, karma, and awakening 
  • How to love deeply without possession 
  • How to succeed without being trapped by success 
  • Why enlightenment is not escape, but intimacy with reality 
  With gentle insight, philosophical depth, and accessible storytelling, No-Self, Full Life offers a way to live with more presence and less suffering—without needing to withdraw from the modern world. 
  Whether you are a spiritual seeker, a philosopher, a meditator, or simply someone tired of carrying the weight of constant mental noise, this book is an invitation: 
  Let go of who you think you are. 
  And discover the freedom of what remains. 
  Because sometimes, the fullest life begins 
  when the self becomes light enough to disappear.
