The Story of Atlantis and the Lost Lemuria

W. Scott-Elliot

Sinopse

In "The Story of Atlantis and the Lost Lemuria," W. Scott-Elliot embarks on an illuminating exploration of two legendary civilizations that have captivated human imagination for centuries. This work intertwines mythology, esoteric philosophy, and early 20th-century spiritualism, reflecting a distinctive literary style that melds imaginative narrative with scholarly inquiry. Scott-Elliot's meticulous examination of geographical, archaeological, and cultural evidence provides a compelling argument that repositions these mythic lands within the broader context of human history and consciousness, rendering both Atlantis and Lemuria not merely fables but integral components of our ancient heritage. W. Scott-Elliot, a prominent figure in the Theosophical Society, was deeply influenced by the spiritualist movements of his time, which sought to reconcile science and spirituality. His background in Theosophy, a belief system that promotes the exploration of hidden truths and ancient wisdom, was likely a critical impetus for his investigation into Atlantis and Lemuria. Scott-Elliot's writings reflect his quest for knowledge and understanding of humanity's spiritual evolution, aligning with the broader intellectual currents of the early 20th century that grappled with the interplay between science and mysticism. This book is a must-read for those fascinated by the interplay of myth, spirituality, and history. Scott-Elliot's rigorous research and imaginative prose invite readers to reconsider what we perceive as lost and to explore the enduring legacies of these legendary civilizations. A captivating journey awaits, encouraging readers to delve into the mysteries of humanity's past.

Escape from Kabul - A True Story...

Enakshi Sengupta

Five Women. A Crumbling City. A Daring Flight to Freedom. 
 
August 2021. The fall of Kabul.  
Twenty years after they were defeated, the Taliban storms Afghanistan's capital, claiming every piece of land they pass and plunging the city into chaos. 
For Anjali and four other women, who were all from different parts of the world and worked together at the Anglo-American University of Kabul, this moment marks the beginning of a harrowing journey. Forced into hiding, hunted for their work at the University, and unsure of whom to trust, knowing betrayal is just a whisper away, they are bound by one urgent impetus: to get out alive. 
What unfolds is an inspiring story of resistance and survival, furtive phone calls, forged documents and midnight dashes through enemy territory-and the relentless courage of women who refuse to be silenced. 
Searing and utterly gripping, Escape from Kabul is at once an extraordinary first-person account of sisterhood in crisis as well as a meditation on the meaning of freedom, and what it takes to reclaim agency when the world closes in.

The Shortest History of Greece -...

James Heneage

Philosophy, art, democracy, language, even computers—the glories of Greek civilization have shaped our world even more profoundly than we realize. Pericles and the Parthenon may be familiar, but what of Epaminondas, the Theban general who saved the Greek world from Spartan tyranny? Alexander the Great's fame has rolled down the centuries, but the golden Hellenistic Age that followed is largely forgotten. "Byzantine" conjures decadence and deadly intrigue, yet the thousand-year empire that ruled from Constantinople and saved Europe twice from invasion was, in fact, Greek. 
 
 
 
Greece's modern chapter, too, tells of triumph and calamity—from liberation and expansion to schism, homegrown dictatorship, Nazi occupation, and civil war. Today's nation is battered by austerity, encroaching climate change, and a refugee crisis—yet unwavering in its ancient values. 
 
 
 
James Heneage captures the full Grecian drama in this riveting, short history, revealing Greece as the wellspring of Western civilization—and a model that may yet save modern democracy.

America: Standing Strong, from award-winning author Robert J. Emery (www.robertjemeryauthor.com) 
In 1920, while campaigning for the office of president, Warren G. Harding said in a campaign speech, “America’s present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy.” 
That is where America finds itself today. 
“America: Standing Strong” brings together investigative reporters, scholars, scientists, philosophers, medical professionals, elected officials across the political spectrum and an endless string of quotes from respected voices, past and present, to examine the events of recent years, not what we already know, but what we may not, or have yet to acknowledge, in our quest for reformation. Every voice counts.

Asperger’s Syndrome - Learning...

Ava Holgreen

When we first meet someone, we quickly form an impression based on their appearance. The way they dress, their facial expressions, body language, voice, tone, and behavior—all these small details contribute to the image we create of their personality, guiding our subsequent interactions. Some individuals, like those with Asperger's syndrome, may struggle to pick up on subtle social cues that others easily recognize. This difficulty can make social interactions challenging and uncomfortable, sometimes leading to anxiety and depression. 
A lack of awareness or understanding of Asperger's syndrome in the general population can create significant difficulties for those affected by it. People with Asperger's often find it challenging to engage in reciprocal conversations and may lack certain social insights. However, if others make an effort to understand these challenges and provide support, it can help prevent anxiety and depression in individuals with Asperger's. These individuals often have intense interests in specific subjects and perceive the world in unique ways.
