Summary

In "The Story of Atlantis," William Scott-Elliot weaves a compelling narrative that seeks to blend myth with scholarly inquiry, offering readers a detailed account of the legendary lost civilization of Atlantis. Scott-Elliot employs a vivid and engaging literary style, skillfully intertwining elements of fiction and philosophy to reimagine Plato's original accounts. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, the book echoes the era's fascination with ancient myths and the occult, as well as the burgeoning interest in historical linguistics and archaeology, thus contributing a unique interpretation to the Atlantis narrative while inviting readers to ponder themes of utopia, human folly, and spiritual evolution. William Scott-Elliot, a British author deeply immersed in theosophy and spiritualism, was significantly influenced by the intellectual currents of his time. His keen interest in ancient civilizations and mystical traditions shaped his exploration of Atlantis, positing it as not merely a myth but a potent symbol of lost wisdom and idealism. Scott-Elliot's background in philosophy and mythology informs his careful crafting of a narrative that reveals both the splendor and the tragic decline of this fabled society, offering insights that resonate well beyond the confines of his time. "The Story of Atlantis" is a must-read for anyone captivated by ancient myths, historical mysteries, or the philosophical questions surrounding civilization and its discontents. Scott-Elliot's imaginative retelling invites readers to embark on a wondrous journey through time, challenging them to reflect upon the implications of humanity's quest for perfection amid the inevitable tides of history.

    Artificial intelligence has been a cornerstone of human imagination for decades. Once a concept limited to the realms of science fiction, it has now become a pervasive reality. From the devices in our homes to the algorithms shaping industries, AI is redefining what is possible, often faster than we can adapt. It is a technology that excites, inspires, and sometimes unnerves us – capturing the promise of innovation and the challenges of profound change. 
As the author of this book, my journey into the world of AI began with a simple question: What does it mean for humanity to coexist with intelligent technology? This question led me down a path of discovery, one that revealed not only the fascinating mechanics of AI but also the intricate interplay between technology and society. 
This book is not an argument for or against artificial intelligence. It is an exploration – a chance to understand how AI emerged, how it works, and what its presence means for our world.  
Whether you are a curious learner, a technology enthusiast, or someone navigating AI’s growing presence in everyday life, this book is for you.

    Donald Trump is the exact threat our Founding Fathers feared. 
Joe Walsh is as rock-ribbed a conservative as they come. But he believes that no right-wing policy victory is worth the loss of our very democracy. 
In this clear-eyed and unsparing book, Walsh makes the case that Trump has more in common with the foreign dictators he praises publicly than a predecessor like Ronald Reagan. Trump is an existential threat to conservatism, the presidency, and national unity. He has violated the Constitution in plain sight, assaulted democratic institutions, overwhelmed the country with disinformation, erected around himself a cult of personality, and governed according to his narcissism more than any discernable political philosophy. 
Though Walsh agrees with Trump that the Washington elite has hung working-class America out to dry, traveling down the road to despotism is no response. And now a person who places himself above the rule of law and accountability sits in the Oval Office—all that’s missing is a big, beautiful throne behind the Resolute Desk.  
In F*ck Silence, Walsh challenges his countrymen, especially his fellow conservatives, to acknowledge and oppose this unpatriotic and un-American behavior before we give away what made America great in the first place: our democracy.

    "I am Mathilde, alias Mathilda. I am 37 years old and I prostitute myself to be a free woman. I have been an executive assistant, a sales manager in media, a communication manager for an employers' confederation and a company director in business aviation. But I was a precarious woman, being used for a low price, like a great majority of women in France. In parallel to my work activities, I became an escort to get out of my social condition and not be a free and disposable object anymore. I have been leading this double life for 10 years in Lyon; and today men, but also women, respect me for what I am. I like this life and I embrace it fully."
Like 5% to 10% prostitutes in France (and certainly many more), Mathilde engages in this profession freely and without constraint, to no longer be the prey of males and a patriarchal society. Free, authentic and without pretense, she takes the reader on a journey of discovery of a profession that fascinates and that no one talks about in this way. With a provocative but always human tone, she reveals with strength and fragility her non-conformist universe and her atypical personality. From her family to her friends, from her lovers to her clients, from her jobs to her first trick, Mathilde shares her way of life openly because her reality does not need to be hidden.
