Synopsis

In "The Washer of the Ford: Legendary Moralities and Barbaric Tales," William Sharp intricately weaves a tapestry of folklore and moral lessons drawn from various cultures, particularly Celtic mythology. This collection of narratives is characterized by its lyrical prose and rich imagery, inviting readers into a world where the boundaries between the supernatural and the mundane blur. Sharp employs a distinctive style that marries the archaic with the contemporary, reflecting a deep respect for oral traditions while infusing them with modern sensibilities. Each tale, steeped in ethical complexities, serves not only to entertain but to provoke contemplation on moral dilemmas that echo through history. William Sharp, a prominent figure in the late 19th-century literary scene, was known for his exploration of themes related to identity, nature, and spirituality. His passion for Celtic folklore and mysticism drove him to delve into the legends of his homeland Scotland. This devotion to cultural heritage complements his broader literary endeavors, displaying a profound understanding of the intersections between humanity and mythology, which is vividly illustrated in this collection. For readers seeking a profound exploration of human ethics cloaked in enchanting narratives, "The Washer of the Ford" is a must-read. Sharp's ability to engage with ancient tales while drawing timeless lessons makes this collection essential for anyone interested in myth, morality, and the storytelling tradition.

    Nuremberg Trials - Bringing Nazi...

    The Nuremberg Trials were a series of military tribunals held after World War II to prosecute prominent leaders of Nazi Germany for crimes committed during the war. These trials were a defining moment in the history of international law and marked the first time that individuals were held accountable on an international stage for atrocities committed by a regime. The trials took place in the city of Nuremberg, Germany, from 1945 to 1949, and were conducted by the Allied powers—the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and France—who sought to bring justice to the victims of the Holocaust, forced labor, and widespread destruction caused by the Nazis. 
      
    The importance of the Nuremberg Trials lies not only in their role in punishing the architects of Nazi terror but also in establishing legal precedents that continue to influence the field of international criminal law today. The trials were based on the premise that individuals, including political and military leaders, could be held personally accountable for violations of international law, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, and crimes against peace. This principle challenged the notion that state leaders were immune from prosecution under the guise of sovereignty, a concept that had previously been accepted in international relations.

    An original deep history of the internet that tells the story of the centuries-old utopian dreams behind it—and explains why they have died today 
     
    Many think of the internet as an unprecedented and overwhelmingly positive achievement of modern human technology. But is it? In The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is, Justin Smith offers an original deep history of the internet, from  
    the ancient to the modern world—uncovering its surprising origins in nature and centuries-old dreams of radically improving human life by outsourcing thinking to machines and communicating across vast distances. Yet, despite the internet’s  
    continuing potential, Smith argues, the utopian hopes behind it have finally died today, killed by the harsh realities of social media, the global information economy, and the attention-destroying nature of networked technology. 
     
    Ranging over centuries of the history and philosophy of science and technology, Smith shows how the “internet” has been with us much longer than we usually think. He draws fascinating connections between internet user experience,  
    artificial intelligence, the invention of the printing press, communication between trees, and the origins of computing in the machine-driven looms of the silk industry. At the same time, he reveals how the internet’s organic structure and  
    development root it in the natural world in unexpected ways that challenge efforts to draw an easy line between technology and nature. 
     
    Combining the sweep of intellectual history with the incisiveness of philosophy, The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is cuts through our daily digital lives to give a clear-sighted picture of what the internet is, where it came from, and where it might be taking us in the coming decades.

    We broke our new series on learning French down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise French.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear French decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native French speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand French. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in French at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken French, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with. 
    Topics covered in this book: 
    1. Asking about family 
    2. Asking about relationship status 
    3. Expressing frequency 
    4. Talking about spare time activities and hobbies
