Beschreibung

Plutarch's 'Lives', Volume 2 (of 4) is a collection of biographies of famous Greek and Roman figures, such as Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. Written in the 1st century AD, Plutarch's work provides a unique insight into the lives and character of these historical figures, blending historical facts with moral lessons. The book is known for its vivid storytelling and in-depth analysis of the subjects' virtues and vices, making it a valuable resource for students of both history and philosophy. Plutarch's literary style is engaging and informative, making the biographies both entertaining and educational. Plutarch was a Greek historian and biographer known for his ethical essays and biographical works. His background in philosophy and his interest in the lives of important figures in history led him to write 'Lives', a series of parallel biographies of prominent Greeks and Romans. Plutarch's goal was not only to recount historical events but also to explore the moral character and virtues of the individuals he wrote about. I highly recommend 'Plutarch's Lives, Volume 2' to anyone interested in ancient history, philosophy, or biography. Plutarch's insightful analysis and vivid storytelling make this book a timeless classic that continues to be relevant today.

    In the Jungle Books, Kipling tells 9 wonderful and exciting tales about Mowgli, the human baby raised by a pack of wolves in the jungles of India. His exploits and adventures are many and varied especially his dealing with the other animals such as his wolf mother and father and brother wolves, Baloo the wise bear who teaches him the Law of the Jungle, and in his life long battle with Shere-Kahn, the lame human killing tiger. I have enjoyed these stories so much that I decided to take all 9 of them that are scattered throughout the first and second Jungle Books, as well as a few of his songs, and to put them into a chronological order from when he was a baby in the wolf den (Mowli's Brothers) to his teen age years when he hears the irresistable call of civilization and being with his own kind

    In a rare window into some of her life’s pivotal moments, Melinda French Gates draws from previously untold stories to offer a new perspective on encountering transitions.  “You don’t get to be my age without navigating all kinds of transitions. Some you embraced and some you never expected. Some you hoped for and some you fought as hard as you could.”   – Melinda French Gates  Transitions are moments in which we step out of our familiar surroundings and into a new  landscape—a space that, for many people, is shadowed by confusion, fear, and indecision. The Next Day accompanies readers as they cross that space, offering guidance on how to make the most of the time between an ending and a new beginning and how to move forward into the next day when the ground beneath you is shifting.  In this book, Melinda will reflect, for the first time in print, on some of the most significant transitions in her own life, including becoming a parent, the death of a dear friend, and her departure from the Gates Foundation. The stories she tells illuminate universal lessons about loosening the bonds of perfectionism, helping friends navigate times of crisis, embracing uncertainty, and more. Each one of us, no matter who we are or where we are in life, is headed toward transitions of our own. With her signature warmth and grace, Melinda candidly shares stories of times when she was in need of wisdom and shines a path through the open space stretching out before us all.

    Serial killer H. H. Holmes built his murder castle in Chicago, but he met the hangman in Philadelphia. Al Capone served his first prison sentence here. America's first bank robbery was pulled off here in 1798. The country's first kidnapping for ransom came off without a hitch in 1874. A South Philadelphia man hatched the largest mass murder plot in US history in the 1930s. His partners in crime were unhappy housewives. Civil rights hero Octavius V. Catto was gunned down on South Street in 1871.Take a walk with us through city history. Would you pass Eastern State Penitentiary on April 3, 1945, just as famed bank robber Willie Sutton popped out of an escape tunnel in broad daylight? Or you might have been one of the invited guests at H. H. Holmes's hanging at Moyamensing Prison on a gray morning in May 1896. It still ranks as one of the most bizarre executions in city history. Or, if you walked down Washington Lane on July 1, 1874, would you have been alert enough to stop the two men who lured little blond Charley Ross away with candy? You might have stopped America's first kidnapping for ransom, the one that gave rise to the admonition, "Never take candy from a stranger." The case inspired the Leopold and Loeb kidnapping.Mix in murderous maids, bumbling burglars, and unflinching local heroes and you have True Crime Philadelphia.
