Beschreibung

Voltaire's 'The Age of Louis XIV (Complete Edition)' offers readers an in-depth exploration of the cultural, political, and social landscape during the reign of Louis XIV. Known for his sharp wit and critical thinking, Voltaire presents a detailed account of the era through a mix of historical facts and personal anecdotes, providing a comprehensive overview of the time period. The book is written in Voltaire's classic satirical style, making it not only informative but also engaging and entertaining for readers interested in history and literature. This work is a valuable resource for those looking to understand the Age of Enlightenment and the impact of Louis XIV on French society and beyond. Voltaire, a prominent figure of the Enlightenment period, was known for his critique of established institutions and advocacy for reason and tolerance. His sharp intellect and passion for justice are evident in 'The Age of Louis XIV,' where he meticulously examines the reign of the Sun King. Voltaire's own experiences and philosophies likely influenced his decision to write this book, as he sought to educate and challenge the prevailing ideas of his time. I highly recommend 'The Age of Louis XIV (Complete Edition)' to anyone interested in Enlightenment history, French culture, or the impact of monarchies on society. Voltaire's insightful analysis and engaging writing style make this book a must-read for those looking to delve deeper into the complexities of Louis XIV's rule and its lasting effects on European history.

    “I notice a Bible and some books on a small table in the front of the church. I think I'll just read and settle into a pew. Suddenly, I'm not sitting on a hard pew. I'm in some other space, a place where I have never been before. It glows, shimmers. I'm suddenly wrapped and pulled into a Presence. It feels as though the whole church is now filled with this Presence. I'm held by a golden, shimmering light. I am With Him…” 
    Judith Bowen’s first vision appeared when she was fifteen. It carried her out of the pew and into a space she had never experienced, forming the foundation of a mystical quest that continues to call her to know more, to explore our relationship with nature and our Creator, and to discover a deeper understanding of the connection between all living things. Profoundly influenced by the work and music of the mystic Hildegard von Bingen, Bowen went on to find inspiration in the music of nature, ultimately knowing that her gift was to be a healer. 
    In these pages, Judith shares her insights on how we all can find the mystical in our daily lives. We are all creators in our relationships and the sense of reverence we bring to every moment is a way to honor our dance with our Creator.

    A history of aging in the United States and an innovative blueprint for revolutionizing care for older adults from Northwell Health, New York’s largest health care system. The New York Times described Dr. Robert Butler as “the man who saw old age anew.” In his 1975 book Why Survive: Being Old in America, Butler argued that for far too many people old age was “a period of quiet despair . . . and muted rage” and he set out to mitigate it. Nearly five decades since he penned his book, a devoted band of brilliant physicians and others in the healthcare field have realized at least a portion of Butler’s dream: to recognize and alleviate suffering among the aging. 
    The Aging Revolution is the story of Butler and his disciples: women and men who saw older distressed adults in hospitals and homes, and worse: being ignored by most of the medical establishment. These revolutionaries could not ignore the suffering, and they set out—individually and collectively—to create entirely new ways of caring for aging adults to ease their suffering and improve their quality and length of life. 
    This revelatory book tells a story never-before told in its entirety, recounting the one of the most significant periods of improvement in American medical history. Readers will learn about pioneering individuals, concepts, and ideas that have improved the lives of millions, including: the women who placed the spotlight on delirium and falls—major issues for older adults; the campaign to build and spread Geriatric and Palliative Care; the small bands of doctors who worked the halls of Congress to create a new program that provides primary care along with home visits from healthcare professionals; and the New York-based foundation that has devoted its mission and millions exclusively to improving care and quality of life for aging adults. 
    Today, as a result, chronic conditions that almost always accompany old age are far more manageable. Older people enjoy more options for work and professional development, for education, for leisure and travel, for sports and maintaining physical strength and mobility. For increasing numbers of Americans, life is healthier and richer in the experiences that matter most. 
    Yet, aging in America can still be a challenge and, too often, particularly for the poor, a painful struggle. The range of mental and physical well-being has almost infinite variations: ninety-year-olds running marathons; sixty-five-year-olds incapacitated by stroke. While this book celebrates the incredible progress and strides made in this field, it also highlights areas that need improvement. The authors lay out specific steps that, if implemented, could ignite the aging revolution and diminish the total volume of older adults suffering in America.
