The Sermons of Chromatius of Aquileia

The war in the Far East from 1939 to 1945, as witnessed first-hand by Scottish soldier and celebrated documentarian Harry BirrellFrom the moment he received a cine-camera at age 10, Harry Birrell devoted his life to documenting the world around him, including his enlistment and his adventures serving in the Burma, Nepal and India. Not only did he capture the war as he saw it, but he kept copious diaries from 1939 to 1945 so that his family would know what he had experienced in the event of his death. These unique record of the campaign are compelling, insightful, funny, charming, moving - all in equal measure. As a soldier posted with the Gurkhas for most of the war, Harry Birrell worked as a surveyor, mapping out the country as the war with the Japanese ebbed and flowed around him. While this might seem like it was away from any action, the job of creating these references for the fighting part of the army was critical and required him to be at the front line in order that the troops and their commanders had the most up to date and accurate maps as the war evolved. As a result, he has an unusual insider overview of that brutal campaign as well as wonderful insight into the Gurkhas under his command.

To War with the Gurkhas: War Diaries

A geologist weaves together ancient history, personal experience from the world's mines, and the haunting story of his elderly uncle's scholarly life in the aftermath of the Holocaust, to reflect on the nature of a world brought to grief by our rapacity, and to offer a poetic glimpse of the way it can be redeemed. Ever since the Greek and Roman historians speculated on the seemingly ever-growing violence and greed of the world, metal has been to blame. We have gone from a “golden age” of peace and shared plenty, to an “iron age of bloodshed and conquest.” Today, according to geologist Shefa Siegel, we are threatened not by metal, but by its absence. Metal that once lay close enough to the surface of the earth so that primitive miners could more or less chip off what they needed is now so scarce that entire landscapes are pulverized to extract a fine dust of precious, powdered ore.&nbsp;As Siegel writes: “This is what scarcity looks like: not the end of mining, but its endless expansion.” Having travelled to the semi-legal mines of the Third World, Siegel realizes the heartbreaking ecological and human devastation he witnesses is evidence of a more general cultural failing—a mindless turning-away from what truly matters. Mining and the scarcity that drives it seem to him a symptom of a world bent on self-destruction. Grieving the loss of his beloved uncle, a chainsmoking, elderly Manhattanite who devoted his life to words and ideas after fleeing the horrors of mid-twentieth century Europe, and half-broken by the ugliness of the metallurgical world he is reluctantly a part of, Siegel seeks healing in Italy. In Florence, and on the island of Elba, he encounters the history of European mining, from the Etruscans, through the Romans, to the Fascists of the twentieth century, piecing together a legacy of violence and greed. But he also finds himself in a world of natural beauty, of nourishing culture and music. In a work of far-reaching scholarship and a deep fascination with history and culture, Siegel traces the shift in human perspective from the balanced view of nature held by the Etruscans through to the commodification and exploitation we think of as normal today, and hints at a path out of the madness.

Im Rahmen der Verfassungsordnung, die der Westfälische Friede hervorgebracht hat, wurden zahlreiche Konflikte in den Territorien und auf Reichsebene konfessionell aufgeladen, um die Reichsinstitutionen (Reichskammergericht, Reichshofrat, Reichstag und Kaiser) und somit die Reichsöffentlichkeit einzubeziehen. Der konfessionelle Dissens wurde Teil der politischen Kultur des Reiches und diente damit letztlich seiner Stabilisierung.

<div><div>Audible's Best of the Year in Well-Being YOU ARE ENOUGH EXACTLY AS YOU ARE. ​&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;From the time we’re born, a litany of do’s and don’ts are placed on us by our families, our communities, and society. We’re required to fit into boxes based on our race, gender, sexuality, and other parts of our identities, being told by others how we should behave, who we should date, or what we should be interested in. For so many of us, those boxes begin to feel like shackles when we realize they don’t fit our unique shape, yet we keep trying because we crave acceptance and validation. But is “fitting in” worth the time, energy, and suffering? Actor, writer, and activist Brandon Kyle Goodman says, Hell no it ain’t! &nbsp; As a Black nonbinary, queer person in a dark-skinned 6’1”, 180-pound male body born into a religious immigrant household, Brandon knows the pain of having to hide one’s true self, the work of learning to love that true self, and the freedom of finally being your true self. &nbsp; In You Gotta Be You, Brandon affectionately challenges you to consider, “Who would I be if society never got its hands on me?” This question set Brandon on a mission to dropkick societal shackles by unlearning all the things he was told he should be in order to step into who he really is. It required him to reexamine messy but ultimately defining moments in his life—his first time being followed in a store, navigating his mother’s born-again Christianity, and regretfully using soap as lube (yes, you read that right!)—to find the lessons that would guide him to his most authentic self. &nbsp; Compassionate and soulful, funny and revealing, You Gotta Be You is an unapologetic call to self-freedom. It’s about turning rejection (from others and yourself) into a roadmap to self-love. It’s a guide to setting boundaries and fostering self-growth. And most importantly, it’s an affirmation that we are enough exactly as we are. </div><div> &nbsp; </div>
