  The Gaslighting of America - How...

  In the last decade we have witnessed an unprecedented assault on the American people. Having seemingly appeared out of the ether, it has destroyed industry, family values, marriage, family relations, work ethic, morality, education, health care, independent thought, and the very basis of reality itself- language and the definitions of words. Its reach is all encompassing, with no stone left unturned. The American people are lost in a thick, heavy haze, dazed and confused at the completely alien world around them. How did we get to this point? How did nobody see it coming? Who is responsible? 
  “The Gaslighting of America” explores how the elite, the authorities, and the mainstream media have conspired to deceive the American people. Through the use of gaslighting, a psychological manipulation technique, they have created a false reality that serves their own interests, while undermining the very foundations of American society.

  The Tin Ringis a moving memoir of love, loss and hope. This new edition has been published in celebration of Zdenka's 100th birthday.
  Zdenka's peaceful life was changed forever when she was sent to Terezin concentration camp. Here, she was given a humble engraved tin ring by her first love Arno. She survived six concentration camps, endured horrors the like of which most of us can't begin to comprehend, yet never lost the will to live.
  When Arno gave her the ring he said, 'That's for our engagement. And, to keep you safe. If we are both alive when the war ends I will find you.'The ring was the symbol of his love – a tin ring – that gave her the hope to endure unimaginable suffering and survive in the belief that they would one day be re-united.
  Zdenka protected this little tin ring with her life and with astonishing determination. Never falling into destructive self-pity, her compassion for other people, her sense of humour and the ability to take remarkable risks, are just part of Zdenka's indomitable spirit.
  Zdenka survived six concentration camps including Auschwitz, Gross Rosen, Mauthausen and Belsen – the worst of all. In the last chaotic days of the war in Belsen she crawled to a Red Cross post. There she was saved by an unknown British soldier to whom the book is dedicated.

  A thoughtful, reflective narrative of a reluctant soldier that captures the rhythms of life in war as well as the boredom and chaos of Vietnam.   At the height of the Vietnam War, Charles Carr left graduate school to serve in the army in Southeast Asia, knowing that if he didn’t, another man would go—and possibly die—in his place. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion of the 47th Infantry (Mechanized) in the northern Mekong Delta for a tour of forcing himself through rice paddies and jungles all day and then setting ambushes at night. He concluded his tour with a stint at battalion headquarters. More than just a war memoir, this is the story of one soldier trying to find his way in uncertain times—and to survive his year in Vietnam.

  "Mysticism and Logic" is a collection of essays by Bertrand Russell that explores the relationship between mysticism and logic. Russell examines the nature of religious experience, arguing that mystical experiences are not beyond the reach of rational inquiry. He also discusses the nature of language and how it shapes our understanding of the world. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on mysticism and the second part on logic. Russell's writing is clear and accessible, making complex philosophical ideas easy to understand for readers. Overall, "Mysticism and Logic" is an engaging exploration of the intersection of two seemingly disparate fields of study. Read in English, unabridged.
