Synopsis

In "The First Four Books of Xenophon's Anabasis," the reader is drawn into a vivid account of the Greek mercenary army's perilous journey through Persia after the fall of Cyrus the Younger. Xenophon, both a soldier and a philosopher, employs an engaging narrative style that blends historical detail with personal reflection, creating a rich tapestry of adventure and human resilience. This work, written in the 4th century BCE, serves not only as a military memoir but also as a philosophical exploration of leadership, loyalty, and the struggle for survival, encapsulating the spirit of Classical Greek literature. Xenophon, a student of Socrates and a contemporary of Plato, was deeply influenced by his experiences in battle and his philosophical inquiries. His journey as a mercenary leader shaped his perspectives on governance, ethics, and the human condition. "Anabasis" reflects his insights into the complexities of human motivations and the harsh realities of war, providing a unique lens through which he examines both personal and collective trials. This edition of "The First Four Books of Anabasis" is a crucial resource for readers interested in ancient history, military strategy, and philosophical thought. Scholars and casual readers alike will find Xenophon's narrative compelling, offering lessons that resonate well beyond his time, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.

    As a nurse I have been in situations where patients learned very bad news about the state of their health, news that was not received well by them, their families, or even their medical team. When preparing this book, my feelings were much the same as when I was in those situations.The bad news about the health of our nation is, like cancer in a patient's body, communism (also known as "Marxism") has grown in the United States. Like cancer, it started with an unnoticed seed and grew insidiously with little sign or symptom. Now like cancer, communism is on the brink of overwhelming us.Because I know that knowledge of their cancer is essential to my patient's first step towards survival, I believe that knowledge of our communism is essential to the United States of America's first step towards survival. So within this book, I describe: how I learned about the symptoms (The Real Communist Threat Witnessed); the disease (the Introduction and Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Communist Manifesto); the signs and symptoms and the treatment and cure (Constitution versus Communist Manifesto: The War within America).Extremist Socialists, also known as Communists, like Extremist/Radical Islamists believe their ends justify their means (that is: lying, cheating, stealing, and killing). Beware of their joint product, Interfaith Dialogue.

    Winston Churchill was born in a palace and was given a funeral worthy of a king. His family had enjoyed an intimate association with the British monarchy stretching back centuries. As King Edward VIII said of him, "I have never met anyone of royal blood who exemplified in such high degree the ideal of the 'good king.'"Churchill and the Crown tells the story of Churchill's relationship with the various kings and queens he served during his long political career, from young journalist under Edward VII, through his dramatic fall from grace in the First World War under George V, the frustrations of appeasement during the interwar period and his relationship with Edward VIII during the abdication crisis of 1936, culminating in his Finest Hour in the Second World War under George VI and the coda of Churchill's public service to his final monarch: Queen Elizabeth II.Ted Powell analyzes Churchill's writings on monarchy and his role in preserving and establishing monarchies outside Britain. At the core of the book is a series of studies of Churchill's relationships with the monarchs he served. These studies offer a two-way perspective, examining both Churchill's view of individual monarchs and their attitudes towards him. They shed light not only on Churchill's career but also on the changing role of the monarchy in twentieth century Britain.

    Narcissists and empaths can be the most toxic combination one can ever come across. An empath is a person with a strong need to feel compassion and empathy for others, with the grandiose ability to tune into others’ emotions. This makes empaths vulnerable to the “energy vampires” that they inevitably attract, due to their natural ability to provide for others.

    - You feel isolated from friends and family because of your relationship. 
    - Your partner oscillates between charming affection and cold indifference. 
    - You're experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression, linked to your relationship dynamics.
