Beschreibung

William Henry Crook (October 15, 1839 - March 13, 1915) was one of President Abraham Lincoln’s bodyguards in 1865. After Lincoln’s assassination (while Crook was off duty), he continued to work in the White House for a total of more than 50 years, serving 12 Presidents.Crook set his memoirs down on paper in the book Through Five Administrations: Reminiscences of Colonel William H. Crook, Body-Guard to President Lincoln, compiled and edited by Margarita Spalding Gerry and published for the first time in 1910. There are six administrations covered, however, from Lincoln to Chester A. Arthur, although James A. Garfield and Arthur are dealt with in a single chapter.Lincoln as I knew him is one of the most interesting reminiscences by William Henry Crook. It was published on the Harper’s Monthly Magazine in December 1917.

    Late in 1944, thirteen U.S. B-24 bomber crews bailed from their cabins over the Yugoslavian wilderness. Bloodied and disoriented after a harrowing strike against the Third Reich, the pilots took refuge with the Partisan underground. But the Americans were far from safe. Holed up in a village barely able to feed its citizens, encircled by Nazis, and left abandoned after a team of British secret agents failed to secure their escape, the airmen were left with little choice. It was either flee or be killed.

    On the Genealogy of Morality

    In 1887, with the perspective on enhancing and finishing specific new tenets which he had simply outlined in Past Great and Fiendishness (see particularly Axiom 260), Nietzsche distributed The Parentage of Ethics. This work is maybe the most un-aphoristic, in structure, of every one of Nietzsche's creations. For scientific influence, all the more particularly in those parts where Nietzsche analyzes the austere ideal, The Lineage of Ethics is unmatched by some other of his works; and, in the light which it tosses upon the mentality of the ecclesiast to the man of disdain and mishap, it is one of the most important commitments to sacerdotal brain science 
    Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German rationalist, social pundit and philologist whose work has applied a significant impact on current scholarly history. He started his vocation as a traditional philologist prior to going to theory.

    Cognitive Shortcuts That Mislead...

    This book consists of two titles, which are: 
    - The Confirmation Bias: Confirmation bias is a cognitive phenomenon that plays a significant role in shaping our beliefs and perceptions. It refers to the tendency of individuals to search for, interpret, and remember information in a way that confirms their preexisting beliefs or theories, while disregarding or minimizing evidence that contradicts those beliefs. This bias is not limited to any particular field or context and can influence people in a variety of ways, from politics and religion to personal relationships and health decisions. 
    - The Representativeness Heuristic: At its core, the representativeness heuristic simplifies decision-making by allowing individuals to rely on surface-level similarities rather than delving into deeper, more complex analyses. For example, if someone observes a well-dressed, articulate individual discussing financial markets, they might assume the person is a financial expert, even without any concrete evidence. This judgment stems from the resemblance of the observed traits to the prototype of a financial expert. However, such assumptions often overlook critical information, such as actual expertise or experience.
