Sinopsis

In "Frederick the Great and the Rise of Prussia," William Fiddian Reddaway masterfully surveys the geopolitical and cultural ascent of Prussia under Frederick II. This scholarly work intricately interweaves narrative history with political analysis, utilizing a rich tapestry of primary sources and contemporary accounts that illuminate the complexities of 18th-century European power dynamics. Reddaway's engaging yet academic prose brings to life the multifaceted personality of Frederick, exploring his military innovations, administrative reforms, and patronage of the arts, all of which contributed to Prussia's emergence as a formidable state. Reddaway, a prominent historian and scholar of German history, was deeply influenced by the political climate of his time, which included the burgeoning nationalism in Europe and the intricate web of alliances that characterized the era. His thorough research and profound insights reflect a lifelong dedication to understanding the forces that shaped modern Germany. Reddaway'Äôs expertise is further underscored by his ability to contextualize Frederick's era within the broader trends of Enlightenment thought and military strategy. This book is an essential read for historians, students, and anyone intrigued by European history, as it encapsulates the essence of Frederick's transformative reign. Reddaway's nuanced analysis not only enhances our understanding of Prussia's rise but also prompts readers to reflect on the broader implications of leadership and statecraft in shaping national identity.

    Do you believe in evolution, but do not see this belief as necessarily negating the existence of an advanced Intelligence?  
    If so, you may find comfort, inspiration, and perhaps even proof for your beliefs within this ancient Hindu work.  
    The Aitareya Upanishad, which dates back to somewhere around 600-500 BCE, takes us through a journey … the journey of creation. It then leads us through the evolutionary changes that have brought us into this day and age and beyond, into the stage of existence that the ancient Hindus believed would come next. We were all created, the Hindus tell us, for a reason, and we are all evolving towards a particular state of beingness.  
    How can the Hindus be so sure that evolution is fact, and how can they be so sure that there is some sort of Intelligence behind it all? The Hindu religion is the oldest on earth. Their ancestors claim to have actually witnessed a small portion of evolution in action, and through their experiences, also claim to have discovered the underlying intent of life (both in the general and the individual sense). This work goes into these experiences and the insights the Hindus claim to have gained from them. 
    Also included in this narrative is an early Hindu concept of time and space that is extremely difficult to wrapt the human mind around. These concepts, however, coincide very closely with the findings of modern physics. 
    This work is my interpretation of the Aitareya Upanishad. I have endeavored to simplify its teachings, expand where needed, and include modern concepts, discoveries, and quotes to make the central concepts found within it more digestible to modern seekers, especially beginners.

    Don't think that because it is such a small country with only about 17 million people, it should be neglected. The Netherlands has a long history, with a high influence on our cultures, trading routes, the stock market, business, and art. 
    The Dutch were all over the world. They "owned" and colonized a big portion of what was then the known world. They were among the first settlers, had the biggest haven and biggest fleet for some time. The Dutch East-Indian Trading Company, or VOC, is probably the biggest or at least one of the biggest companies that has ever existed, with its shareholders, its ships, its spices and trading routes, and so much more. Learn more about what happened in the same area that's currently the United States, South Africa, Indonesia, and so many areas across the world. 
    In this book, we will begin with the Dutch settlers on the east coast of the United States, their settlements in Indonesia and other Asian countries, and their vast group of colonists in South Africa.

    Through deep meditation and frequent contact with extraterrestrials and "source entities", Needler has produced a startling biography of God. This book is nothing less than a history of our universe that blends channeled wisdom the new physics, past life regression, and the explication of ancient and esoteric texts. 
    Needler discovered a way to transport himself through meditation to the highest dimension where god and the co-creators exist. In that place and state he discovered many things about reality which he shares in this book. The History of God explains where god came from, the existence of other gods. The creation of the universes, the galaxies, the planets, and finally life on Earth including humans. We discover the purpose behind the creation of all of these things.

    “WE NEED TO TALK.” 
    They are, perhaps, the most dreaded four words in the English language. But in her timely, insightful, and wonderfully practical audiobook, We Need to Talk, Celeste Headlee—who earns a living by talking on the airwaves of National Public Radio—makes the case that they are urgently needed. 
    Today most of us communicate from behind electronic screens, and studies show that Americans feel less connected and more divided than ever before. The blame for some of this disconnect can be attributed to our political landscape, but the erosion of our conversational skills as a society lies with us as individuals.  
    And the only way forward, says Headlee, is to start talking to each other. In We Need to Talk, she outlines the strategies that have made her a better conversationalist—and offers simple tools that can improve anyone’s communication. For example: BE THERE OR GO ELSEWHERE. Human beings are incapable of multitasking, and this is especially true of tasks that involve language. Think you can type up a few emails while on a business call, or hold a conversation with your child while texting your spouse? Think again.CHECK YOUR BIAS. The belief that your intelligence protects you from erroneous assumptions can end up making you more vulnerable to them. We all have blind spots that affect the way we view others. Check your bias before you judge someone else.HIDE YOUR PHONE. Don’t just put down your phone, put it away. New research suggests that the mere presence of a cell phone can negatively impact the quality of a conversation.  
    Whether you’re struggling to communicate with your kid’s teacher at school, an employee at work, or the people you love the most—Headlee offers smart strategies that can help us all have conversations that matter.
