"Since Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine, some one million Russians have fled the country and gone into exile. Motivated by opposition to the war, by guilt for their country's deeds, by personal hatred for the Czar-like Putin, and by a vision of a better Russia, shorn of autocracy, the exiles have mounted an organized resistance to Putin's rule. The resistance includes followers of the imprisoned Putin opponent Alexi Navalny, dissident Russian Orthodox priests, and journalists feeding Russians back home the kind of coverage that Kremlin-controlled media censors. Most aggressively, some exiles are actively aiding the Ukrainian fight against Russia's armed forces in hopes of hastening Russia's defeat and Putin's demise"--

"The first set in modern New York City, featuring a hard-working smart-mouthed Latina investigator, Felicity Ortega Pâerez, specializing in forensic accounting and document examination, as she hunts for a missing person who holds the clue to an ancient mystery. Little does she realize how deep the criminality goes, and what she will learn about her own hidden past. The ancient section is a radical revision of the Book of Ruth--the first person in the Bible to convert to the religion of Israel. When Ruth's husband dies under strange circumstances, she must join the exiles returning to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple in order to secure a future for herself, her grieving mother-in-law Naomi, and her future offspring. Unfortunately, the returning exiles also include religious leaders like Ezra and Nehemiah, who plan to 'purify' the land by expelling all the foreign women, and Ruth must prove her worth under dire conditions, including a major famine. From Sun to Sun is a tale of love, devotion, and sacrifice depicting the challenges facing two determined 'foreign' women as they battle ignorance, hatred, and indifference in two distinct historical periods--Iron Age Israel and the modern world. Each in their own struggle to find justice and a place in society--a seemingly endless battle in a time of social upheaval, fluid identities, and diverse cross-cultural complexities. In short, the novel is about combating prejudice, and who gets to decide who is 'one of us' and who's a 'foreigner, ' and what it takes to prove you belong"--

The 4,600-Year-Old Story of Snefru and His Five Pyramids.The first book that integrates all five of Snefru's pyramids into a single "Story" pulled from the archaeological record. Snefru ruled during a time of transition from the step pyramids with north-south oriented large enclosures of the previous rulers.....to the inclined sided pyramids with the east-west oriented more compact enclosures of the rulers which followed. And during this transition, pyramid size grew by almost 600% when each pyramid was in-turn the largest manmade structure on Earth. The transition and growth in pyramid size was not without major issues which the architects and builders had to solve. And all of this was necessary for the perfection that was Khufu's Great Pyramid.

The brothers from the aviation center town of Dayton, Ohio, were among the legions of over three million Army Air Force soldiers who served in World War II.

"Religion is high on the agenda of international politics today.

"This book challenges prevailing models of the ways formerly enslaved individuals in Ancient Rome navigated their social and economic landscape. Drawing on the rich epigraphic evidence left behind by municipal freedmen and freedwomen, who had been owned and manumitted by the communities of Roman Italy, it pushes back against ameliorating views of slavery as a temporary condition and positive notions of a prosperous and consciously proud Roman freedman class. Manumission was a far more complex process, and it did not always put former slaves and their descendants on the straight and narrow path of upward mobility"--

Il volume presenta il complesso fenomeno religioso dello gnosticismo, sorto nei primi secoli dell'era volgare. Tale fenomeno sviluppa spunti teologici e antropologici di tipo dualistico, derivati dalla cultura ellenistica, innestandoli nell'alveo del primo cristianesimo. Esauritosi verso il V secolo d.C., ha però continuato a sopravvivere in diverse forme fino a che venne estirpato nel Catarismo medievale. Malgrado la sua scomparsa dagli scenari della storia, alcune idee e forme religiose hanno continuato a sopravvivere sottotraccia, emergendo in diversi momenti. Alcune idee gnostiche, ancora ai nostri giorni, sembrano sopravvivere in alcune espressioni religiose, nella cultura, nella letteratura e nel cinema. Nella parte finale il volume affronta alcune delle tematiche tipiche dell'ideologia gnostica, accompagnandole con esempi testuali tratti dalla letteratura prodotta dagli gnostici (testimoniata in particolare nei ritrovamenti di Nag Hammadi, in Egitto) e da quella dei loro avversari.

La guerre en Ukraine qui se déroule actuellement, et en laquelle d'aucuns discernent le début de la Troisième guerre mondiale, invite inévitablement les nations occidentales à prendre parti : celui des intérêts de l'Ukraine antirusse, celui de la Russie, ou celui de la neutralité. Un tel choix suppose la maîtrise d'informations, et la possession des talents d'homme politique et de stratège dont nous ne disposons pas. Contentons-nous ici de proposer quelques éléments de réflexion, sans trancher de manière assurée, en sachant cependant que vient souvent un jour où l'homme moyen est contraint lui aussi de se déterminer dans le doute et l'expectative, quand les grandes affaires du monde en viennent à le mobiliser plus ou moins directement. Il doit choisir, sans la ressource de se réfugier dans l'indifférence ou l'attentisme, et il est souvent imprudent d'être trop prudent. Mais un tel choix se fait dans l'incertitude, se sait révisable, ne relève pas de la seule raison déductive. Au mieux peut-on ici énoncer quelques principes d'action solidaires des résultats théoriques que nous avons obtenus.Tiré à part : Ce fascicule est composé du chapitre 9 de Doctrine du fascisme catholique, en abrégé., et de l'article POUTINE de L'Abécédaire Mal-Pensant.
