I wrote a book on Nine-Eleven, but it's just a little book. If I could tell you anything about the events of September 11th, 2001, it would be in this audiobook. The basic information in this audiobook is enough to warrant a new investigation, in my opinion. Still, this is only a small part of the real battle we face each and every day. What is Truth? Jesus Christ is truth. Nine-Eleven is just another attack by evil forces who seek to rule this world. For a short time evil will reign, but only until Christ returns.

A combination of two Congressional documents following whistleblower concerns over the transfer of nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia as part of President Donald Trump's Middle East Marshall Plan. In Feburary 2019, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Reform released an interim report after multiple whistleblowers came forward to warn about efforts inside the White House to rush the transfer of highly sensitive U.S. nuclear technology in potential violation of the Atomic Energy Act.

Un nuevo virus irrumpe en un país lejano, aunque no tan lejano. La Tierra se ha vuelto pequeña. Día tras día, billones de impulsos digitales transportan la información a la velocidad de la luz de un punto a otro del planeta; infinidad de aviones surcan los cielos, borrando fronteras a su paso y trasladando sin pausa a millares de personas; y, a menor velocidad, miles de toneladas de mercancías se mueven en todas direcciones en un incesante intercambio mercantil que nutre la economía global.

Amin Maalouf ha il potere di proporre intuizioni esatte quanto predizioni, indovinando i grandi cambiamenti della storia e della società molto prima che affiorino alla coscienza comune. In questo audiolibro, con la lucidità cui ci ha da tempo abituati, spiega perché si sia arrivati alle soglie di un naufragio globale, che riguarda tutte le civiltà. L'America, per quanto resti una superpotenza, è sul punto di perdere ogni credibilità morale.

La pétrifiante pandémie a fait des milliers de victimes dans le monde entier. Elle restera gravée dans nos mémoires comme un tournant de l'Histoire. Mais, pendant que le Coronavirus bouleversait la planète, d'autres virus, ceux de la solidarité, de la générosité et de la créativité en ont profité pour se propager simultanément. Pendant cette douloureuse épreuve, d'innombrables gestes de fraternité, d'humanité et de bonté ont réussi à irradier nos cœurs en peine en nous apportant du secours tendre, doux, souriant.

No writer followed the building of the Freedom Tower more closely than Esquire’s Scott Raab. Between 2005 and 2015, Raab published a landmark 10-part series about the construction. He shadowed both the suits in their boardrooms and the hardhats in their earthmoving equipment, and chronicled it all in exquisite prose. While familiar names abound - Andrew Cuomo, Chris Christie, Mike Bloomberg and Larry Silverstein, the real estate developer who only a few weeks before 9/11 signed a 99-year, $3.2 billion lease on the World Trade Center - just as memorable are the not-so-famous.

For decades the suburbs have been where art happens despite: despite the conformity, the emptiness, the sameness. Time and again, the story is one of gems formed under pressure and that resentment of the suburbs is the key ingredient for creative transcendence. But what if, contrary to that, the suburb has actually been an incubator for distinctly American art, as positively and as surely as in any other cultural hothouse?

Student resistance in the first decade of the 21st century was the single most powerful liberating force around the globe during those years. Challenging governments-in a few cases, overturning governments - at a time when representational democracies appeared weak and authoritarian regimes were on the rise. In Student Resistance in the Age of Chaos, Book 1, Mark Boren goes continent by continent, country by country, to show us the contours of the new frontlines of resistance, the sacrifices that were made, the seismic changes caused by the internet, and more.

Russia and China are both believed to have a "grand strategy" - a detailed set of goals backed by expansive ambitions. In the United States, policy makers have tried to articulate similar plans but have failed to reach a widespread consensus since the Cold War ended. Drawing on historical precedents and weighing issues such as Russia's resurgence, China's great rise, North Korea's nuclear machinations, and Middle-East turmoil, Michael O'Hanlon presents a well-researched, ethically sound, and politically viable vision for American national security policy.

Journalist Jo Napolitano delves into the landmark case in which the School District of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was sued for refusing to admit older, non-English speaking refugees and sending them to a high-discipline alternative school. In a legal battle that mirrors that of the Little Rock Nine and Brown v. Board of Education, 6 brave refugee students fought alongside the ACLU and Education Law Center to demand equal access.

Zeitzeugen des 20. Jahrhunderts: neunzehn faszinierende Interviews, geführt vom Journalisten André Groenewoud. Mit einem Vorwort von Guido Knopp. Bedeutende Zeitzeugen, deren persönliche Geschichten eng mit dem Weltgeschehen verknüpft sind, erzählen ihre Erlebnisse. Der Journalist André Groenewoud hat sie befragt: Wie fühlte sich der Navigator der "Enola Gay", als die Atombombe auf Hiroshima geworfen wurde - und wie Nobuo Miyake, ein Überlebender? Wie lebte Françoise Gilot mit Picasso und wie Rockefeller aus der einst reichsten Familie der Welt?

Alaric Thain’s History of the 21st Century recounts the events of the pivotal 21st century in a way that can be understood by people of the 29th century, who live in what might considered a progressive utopia. Alaric Thain was born in 2064 but traveled extensively at relativistic speeds until he returned to Earth and wrote his seminal work in 2864. His point of view is unique as he is able both to understand the motivations of 21st-century humans and explain them to 29th-century humans.

On the island of Lampedusa, the southernmost part of Italy, between Africa and Europe, Davide Enia looks in the faces of those who arrive and those who wait, and tells the story of an individual and collective shipwreck.

On the other, a handful of men and women on the border of an era and a continent, trying to welcome the newcomers.
