Summary

The Complete Historical Works of Xenophon offers an unparalleled insight into the socio-political milieu of ancient Greece through the lens of one of its most astute observers. Comprised of works such as 'ÄòAnabasis,'Äô which chronicles his journey alongside the Ten Thousand, and 'ÄòHellenica,'Äô a continuation of Thucydides' history focusing on the Peloponnesian War, this compilation showcases Xenophon'Äôs distinctive narrative style that blends vivid storytelling with philosophical reflection. His prose, marked by clarity and precision, situates it within the broader context of classical literature, emphasizing the interplay between military leadership and ethical governance. Xenophon, a contemporary of Socrates and a soldier turned historian, was deeply influenced by the tumultuous events of his time, including the chaos of the Peloponnesian War and the decline of Athenian power. His scholarly pursuits were not merely academic; they stemmed from practical experiences and encounters with notable figures, including Socrates himself. This dual perspective as both participant and chronicler infuses his works with a unique authenticity, offering readers an intimate glimpse into the challenges of leadership and virtue. This comprehensive edition is indispensable for those seeking to understand the complex legacy of ancient Greece. It illuminates the fabric of a society undergoing profound transformation, making it a vital resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of classical literature and history.

    Do you aspire to read at least 300 words each minute? Do you want to know why, no matter how hard you try, you can't remember the name of a recently completed book's author?

Have you ever wondered how it feels to walk backwards, putting your wits to the test? 
    Who wouldn't desire an unbreakable memory? Because bad memory does not exist, everybody may enhance their memory abilities. You've probably been in a scenario where you had to keep repeating the same information since that was the only way you could remember it. Unfortunately, this is one of the less effective methods for memorizing numbers, words, and facts via your brain.

    How six conservative media moguls hindered America and Britain from entering World War II 
    How six conservative media moguls hindered America and Britain from entering World War II 
     
     
     
    “A landmark in the political history of journalism.”—Michael Kazin, author of What It Took to Win: A History of the Democratic Party 
     
     
     
    As World War II approached, the six most powerful media moguls in America and Britain tried to pressure their countries to ignore the fascist threat. The media empires of Robert McCormick, Joseph and Eleanor Patterson, and William Randolph Hearst spanned the United States, reaching tens of millions of Americans in print and over the airwaves with their isolationist views. Meanwhile in England, Lord Rothermere’s Daily Mail extolled Hitler’s leadership and Lord Beaverbrook’s Daily Express insisted that Britain had no interest in defending Hitler’s victims on the continent. 
     
     
     
    Kathryn S. Olmsted shows how these media titans worked in concert—including sharing editorial pieces and coordinating their responses to events—to influence public opinion in a right-wing populist direction, how they echoed fascist and anti‑Semitic propaganda, and how they weakened and delayed both Britain’s and America’s response to Nazi aggression.

    We want to move beyond politics in which each party seeks to outmanoeuvre others and score a decisive victory. This leads to political stalemate. We want to reflect on the successes and failures of devolution and offer a series of proposals for reform that could be embraced by a broad swathe of opinion.
    What were the hopes and aspirations of devolution?
    To what extent has devolution been successful?
    What are the challenges and opportunities ahead?
    How can we meet the challenges and best take advantage of opportunities?
    Where is Scotland heading on its unfinished journey?
    How will changes in the rest of the UK impact on this journey?
    In  1999, legislation was passed to create the Scottish Parliament and the Consultative Steering Group (CSG) issued its report on the Scottish Parliament's guiding principles. Four key principles were set out in the CSG report reflecting the hopes and aspirations of campaigners for a Scottish Parliament: sharing power between the people, legislators and government; greater accountability from government to Parliament to the people; facilitating accessibility, openness and responsiveness; and promoting equality. These principles remain as relevant today as they were at the Parliament's establishment though much has changed in the intervening quarter century.
    In this book, former First Minister Henry McLeish, Minister responsible for devolution and chair of the CSG, and Professor James Mitchell of Edinburgh University consider the journey Scotland has been on – the challenges, obstacles and opportunities in seeking to achieve these hopes and expectations.

    In Mahabharata Lord Krishna had also worshipped Lord Ganesh. They have become the role models to the whole world. Before the beginning of any work it is common to worship Lord Ganesh. There are many Holy hymns on Lord Ganesh. Lord Ganesh’s favorite food is modak. 
    He gets pleased if we offer Durva grass to him. He also loves red Hibiscus flower. He is called the vighnaharta because he wards off all the obstacles in our life. He is also called vighnaraja. There are infinite names to Lord Ganesh which we cannot explain. He ties a snake around his waist. 
    The vehicle of Lord Ganesh is mouse in Hindu culture. Lord Ganesh is worshipped all over India. His miracles have been described in all of the 18 Puranas. There are many forms of Lord Ganesh. 
    He has got two wives one is riddhi and the other is siddhi.Lord Ganesh has got 32 forms of incarnations. The modak which you offer to Lord Ganesh will give you good results.
