Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour… Sir Winston Churchill was a soldier, journalist, writer, Nobel Prize winner and, above all, a leader. Conservative then Liberal then Conservative again, his political instincts won him a sustained career at the summit of British government, while his resolve and politics of personality made him broadly regarded as one of the greatest wartime leaders of the 20th century. With his early radicalism, bold decisions regarding the Gold Standard and Iron curtain analysis, Churchill was, for many, a highly controversial figure. For others, he was Britain’s finest Prime Minister. From his career as a young army officer – serving in British India, The Sudan, and the Second Boer War, in which he won fame as a war correspondent – to his later pursuits as a historian, a writer, and an artist, ‘Churchill: History in an Hour’ is the perfect guide to the colorful, long and varied life of a historic titan.

King of England, claimant King of France, Lord – and later King – of Ireland, Supreme Head of the Church of England and, perhaps most famously, six times a husband, Henry VIII is England’s most notorious monarch.

Meanwhile the handsome, worldly king embarked on his famous quests for a suitable wife and heir. With marriage to Anne Boleyn came the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church, Reformation and the Dissolution of the Monasteries. From his childhood to his later years and famed appetites for food, sex and validation, ‘Henry VIII: History in an Hour’ describes the life of a man whose desires and determination changed England and the world.

In the fiftieth anniversary of his death, this is the story of the man who brought an aspirational new approach to American politics. Born into the glamorous cast of Kennedys, JFK was propelled to political success despite family tragedy, disappointment and pressure. He engaged in a Space Race, averted the Cuban missile crisis and showed solidarity with the fledging civil rights movement. Throughout all he maintained a charismatic public image as son, brother and husband, despite his concealed personal failings and the chronic illness that beset him. JFK: History in an Hour provides a compelling and comprehensive overview of the man who epitomised the hopes of a decade and remains an influential figure to this day. Love history?

To many, he is a symbol of values, sacrifice and determination. Modern notions of nationalism, liberty, and constitution all owe their debt to Lincoln, as does the unity of the American states. And yet, in his own day, Lincoln was also reviled by many as a traitor, tarnished by his associations with the wrong kind of race and the wrong end of society. Charting his ascent from humble origins to the leader of the United States during its hardest democratic and ethical conflict – the American Civil War – ‘Lincoln: History in an Hour’ is a succinct guide to the life of a great and controversial modernizer. Having educated himself and made good as a lawyer, he embarked on a journey that would see triumph in the abolition of slavery and then tragedy in the final drama of his own assassination. From his struggles as President to his family life and roles as husband, father and friend, this is the story of one of history’s greatest leaders. Love history?

Famed for his dictatorial style, his political cunning and admired – initially – by Hitler, Mussolini led the National Fascist Party and ruled Italy as Prime Minister from 1922 until his ousting in 1943. In so doing, he paved the way towards Italy’s defeat in World War Two, and some of the 20th century’s most destructive ideologies and practices. Following expulsion from Italian Socialist Party, Mussolini denounced all efforts of class conflict, and instead later commanded a Fascist March on Rome to become the youngest Prime Minister in Italian history. Thereafter he set about dismantling the apparatus of democracy and initiated what would become known as the one-party totalitarian state. With World War II came defeat, humiliation and his bloody deposing. Explaining his ideologies, policies, actions and flaws, ‘Mussolini: History in an Hour’ is the concise life of the man whose ideas helped create some of the worst horrors of the modern history.

Shalat lima waktu adalah salah satu kewajiban bagi umat Islam. Shalat ternyata tidak hanya menjadi amalan utama di akhirat nanti, tetapi ternyata gerakan–gerakan shalat adalah gerakan paling proporsional bagi anatomi tubuh manusia. Bahkan dari sisi medis, shalat adalah gudangnya obat dari berbagai macam penyakit. Selama ini shalat yang dilakukan lima kali sehari oleh umat Islam, sebenarnya telah memberikan investasi kesehatan yang cukup besar bagi yang melakukan shalat tersebut. Gerakan sholat sampai dengan salam memiliki makna yang luar biasa baik untuk kesehatan fisik, mental bahkan keseimbangan spiritual dan emosional. Tetapi sayang hanya sedikit dari umat Islam yang memahaminya.

Cine am fi noi f?r? dragoste? Cum ar fi dragostea f?r? noi? ?ntr-o lume a iubirii ?i a pove?tilor de via??, Emma, femeia rebel? ?i inocent? ?n acela?i timp, caut? r?spunsuri la propriile ?ntreb?ri. O ajut? s? le g?seasc? Greg, b?rbatul creator ?i omul ei de ?ncredere, al?turi de care tr?ie?te bucurii ?i dezam?giri, redate ?n dialoguri ?i reflec?ii. L?ng? el, ea e cald? ca o ploaie de var? sau rece ca un sloi de ghea??. Conflictul pe muchie genereaz? tr?irile femeii – ale Emmei, ?i, implicit, ipostazele ?n care ea riposteaz? sau ?ncheie armisti?ii. Cu siguran?? ?ns?, nu exist? o alt? cale de mijloc dec?t dragostea. — M? iube?ti? — Mai mult dec?t vreodat?. — ?i totu?i pleci. — Da! Pentru c? m? la?i s? fac asta... Emmei ?i este team? de singur?tate. Ea vrea s? r?d? cu el din acela?i motiv. Ea ?ine minte s?ruturile pe care nu i le-a dat. Ea vrea s? fie fericit? ?n patul lui. Ea ?tie c? cele mai bune vinuri se beau ?n doi. Ea caut? s? construiasc? poduri peste ne?n?elegerile din trecut. Ea vrea s? mearg? descul? pe malul m?rii. Sunt momente c?nd revine la acea ?mbr??i?are din trecut, la plimb?rile nocturne, la momentele ?n care a r?s ?i la cele ?n care a suferit. ?i momente ?n care ??i poart? g?ndul undeva departe sau se bucur? fericit? de prezent. Iubindu-l pe Greg sau tr?indu-?i emo?iile. Ea caut? un loc sfin?it de dragoste. Ea se ?ntoarce mereu la el. Citind De vorb? cu Emma, tr?ie?ti ?mpreun? cu personajul propria ta poveste de via??.

P?n? la urm?, po?i fi chiar tu Emma, cu experien?ele ?i pove?tile tale de dragoste. Empatiz?nd cu ea tacit, vei ajunge s? o la?i s? poarte ?i s? consume c?teva dintre zbucium?rile tale. La finalul acestei c?r?i, vei ?mbr??isa mai mult ?mp?carea cu tine ?ns??i, te vei sim?i mai senin?, mai preg?tit? s? accep?i, s? ?n?elegi ?i s? iube?ti. Vei fi gata s? ?ncepi un nou capitol ?n via?a ta. Pentru c? temerile, tr?irile ?i visurile Emmei sunt ?i ale tale. Iar dac? Emma le dep??e?te, le vei dep??i ?i tu. Ia-?i o cafea fierbinte, retrage-te ?n col?ul t?u de lume, las? un ora? pustiu ?n spate, deschide cartea ?i stai de vorb? cu tine. ?Vrei o rela?ie bun?? Fii bun. Vrei un partener care s? te sus?in??

In 1922, F. Scott Fitzgerald announced his decision to write "something new--something extraordinary and beautiful and simple + intricately patterned." That extraordinary, beautiful, intricately patterned, and above all, simple novel became The Great Gatsby, arguably Fitzgerald's finest work and certainly the book for which he is best known. A portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, Gatsby captured the spirit of the author's generation and earned itself a permanent place in American mythology. Self-made, self-invented millionaire Jay Gatsby embodies some of Fitzgerald's--and his country's--most abiding obsessions: money, ambition, greed, and the promise of new beginnings. "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning--" Gatsby's rise to glory and eventual fall from grace becomes a kind of cautionary tale about the American Dream.It's also a love story, of sorts, the narrative of Gatsby's quixotic passion for Daisy Buchanan. The pair meet five years before the novel begins, when Daisy is a legendary young Louisville beauty and Gatsby an impoverished officer. They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overseas, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying, but extremely rich Tom Buchanan. After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wealth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing. "Her voice is full of money," Gatsby says admiringly, in one of the novel's more famous descriptions. His millions made, Gatsby buys a mansion across Long Island Sound from Daisy's patrician East Egg address, throws lavish parties, and waits for her to appear. When she does, events unfold with all the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama, with detached, cynical neighbor Nick Carraway acting as chorus throughout. Spare, elegantly plotted, and written in crystalline prose, The Great Gatsby is as perfectly satisfying as the best kind of poem.* * *"Now we have an American masterpiece in its final form: the original crystal has shaped itself into the true diamond. This is the novel as Fitzgerald wished it to be, and so it is what we have dreamed of, sleeping and waking." -- James Dickey* * *The Great Gatsby is a novel by the American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. First published on April 10, 1925, it is set on Long Island's North Shore and in New York City during the summer of 1922.The novel takes place following the First World War. American society enjoyed prosperity during the "roaring" 1920s as the economy soared. At the same time, Prohibition, the ban on the sale and manufacture of alcohol as mandated by the Eighteenth Amendment, made millionaires out of bootleggers. After its republishing in 1945 and 1953, it quickly found a wide readership and is today widely regarded as a paragon of the Great American Novel, and a literary classic. The Great Gatsby has become a standard text in high school and university courses on American literature in countries around the world, and is ranked second in the Modern Library's lists of the 100 Best Novels of the 20th Century.--Wikipedia

Sebelum melaksanakan sholat kita diperintahkan agar bersuci terlebih dahulu karena apabila tidak melaksanakannya, maka sholat kita tidak akan sah. Perintah ini yang sudah tercantum dalam firman Alloh yang artinya sebagai berikut Allah berfirman, “Hai orang-orang yang beriman, apabila kalian hendak mendirikan sholat, maka basuhlah mukakalian dan tangan kalian sampai dengan siku, sapulah kepala kalianm dan (basuhlah) kaki kalian sampai dengan kedua mata kaki, jika kalian junub, maka mandilah” (QS. Al-Maidah : 6). Secara etimologi, wudhu berarti “bersuci”, sedangkan secara terminologi, wudhu berarti “bersuci dengan menggunakan air untuk membasuh sebagian anggota badan : muka, kedua tangan, kepala dan kedua kaki.” Dengan kata lain, membasuh sebagian anggota badan melalui cara tertentu sesuai ketentuan syariat disebut wudhu. Dalam Islam tidak ada sesuatu pun yang sia-sia, setiap perintah dan larangan pasti akan memberikan manfaat bagi kehidupan umatnya. Salah satunya adalah perintah untuk menyempurnakan wudhu. Wudhu itu sendiri mempunyai manfaat yang banyak.

Di daerah Mausil, Irak tepatnya di Ninive, masyarakatnya suka menuhankan benda, menyembah patung, menganggap tempat-tempat tertentu sebagai tempat keramat. Sedangkan di daerah Syam, ada seorang yang arif dan bijaksana bernama Yunus. Yunus diperintahkan oleh Allah untuk datang ke Ninive. Di sana ia melakukan dakwah, mencegah yang mungkar (kejahatan) dan menyeru kebaikan. Akan tetapi, ajakan Yunus itu disambut dengan sikap yang tidak terhormat. Nabi Allah itu dihadapi dengan ejekan-ejekan dan hinaan-hinaan. Rupanya kaum Ninive/Niwana itu terlalu menyombongkan diri dengan kekayaan yang dimiliki selama ini, sehingga menganggap remeh terhadap Yunus. Yunus tetap bersabar menghadapi perlakuan kaumnya. Nabi Yunus terus mencoba, mencoba lagi untuk mengajak kaumnya kepada jalan yang benar...

Cuando el amor es una mala palabra es una antología poética que reúne setenta y cinco expresiones de sentimiento escritas por mí desde los inicios del a?o 2008.En Cuando el amor es una mala palabra he plasmado diversas situaciones, reales o imaginarias. Mi única intención es que el lector se transporte a un mundo de muchas historias, en el cual tendrá una total libertad para interpretarlas.Las palabras incluidas en cada una de estas letras no pretenden discriminar. Están ordenadas de la manera como el amor hace lo suyo, con picos y abismos, cuando empieza, cuando se cruza con la desilusión y el dolor, y cuando termina con el deseo de renacer e intentarlo una vez más.Entonces, mejor es dejar que ellas mismas se presenten con su historia.

Эта невероятно весёлая повесть адресована дошкольникам и младшим школьникам, а также педагогам, воспитателям, родителям и родителям родителей. Она состоит из нескольких самостоятельных глав, рассказывающих о похождениях двух дачных обитателей – щенка Борьки и его закадычной подружки киски Лариски как на самой даче, так и в её окрестностях. В каждой главе хвостатые герои обязательно ?влипают? в?какую-нибудь авантюрную историю или узнают для себя что-то новое и полезное. Сделав героями повести щенка и киску, автор, конечно же, имел в виду мальчишку и девчонку – двух любопытных непосед, ребят типа ?хочу всё знать?, для которых дача – распахнутое настежь окно в окружающий мир – прекрасный, подчас опасный, однако безумно интересный. Так, например, в первой истории мама щенка Борьки открывает школу и начинает обучать сына и других обитателей дачи читать и считать. Во второй истории щенок и киска отправляются на поиски страшного чудища, которое вдруг появилось на ближайшем пруду. А в третьей главные герои попадают в западню… Впрочем, не будем пересказывать все весёлые и познавательные истории, вошедшие в эту книжку, а то читать её будет совсем неинтересно. ?Тайна летающей тарелки? является переизданием вышедшей ранее книги ?Чудовище из пруда?. Издательство Animedia Company желает вам приятного чтения.
