A World on Edge: The End of the Great War and the Dawn of a New Age By Daniel Schönpflug 2018 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 1627797629 | EPUB | 9 MB [center] A Voice at the Borders of Silence By William Segal 2003 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 1585674427 | PDF | 48 MB "A Voice at the Borders of Silence" is the story of a life of passion lived at the forefront of intersecting avant-garde movements and spent in the unyielding pursuit of the ultimate self-understanding and awareness. In a lifetime that nearly coincided with the 20th century, William Segal left a legacy of insight, compassion, and intelligence-as a businessman and publisher, an artist, and as a seeker.Segal was a disciple and interpreter of some of the most influential spiritual masters of the twentieth century; and above all, G. I. Gurdjieff, whose writings on self-realization formed the basis of his philosophy. This foundation in spiritual training enabled him to survive a near-fatal car crash and then to make a full recovery and renew his life's work with even greater vigor.The many dimensions of Segal's life are explored through his own writings and art, and through interviews with those whose lives he influenced. With dozens of full-color reproductions of Segal's paintings and contributions by Ken Burns (who made Segal the subject of three documentaries), Robert Thurman, and Peter Brook, is an unforgettable memoir that will serve as a guidebook for anyone pursuing his or her own search for self-realization and understanding.

Other topics which receive particular emphasis are language contact and translation practices in antiquity. The clear organisation and concise chapters make it highly readable and accessible to non-specialists, and the text is supported by example passages from primary sources and numerous informative illustrations.

In 1819 women had no rights, no status, no options, no votes. Females were denied higher and further education. Job opportunities were menial and few. Legally, women were not even considered to be 'persons.' By 1919 they had achieved full legal rights and status; the doors of education, equality and professions had been thrown open to them; they had proved that they could do any job a man could do, and most importantly they had achieved universal suffrage.
5000 English Vocabulary Puzzles to help you ace the Verbal Sections of the SAT, ACT, GRE, and GMAT (Improve English Vocabulary Through Synonyms and Antonyms) by Talia Swinton English | April 5, 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B091NMSZ1M | 512 pages | EPUB | 0.21 Mb Synonyms and Antonyms are deceptively difficultThere are many different vocabulary building exercises that you can use to improve your English proficiency, whether for test prep purposes or to assimilate more quickly in a new geography, or for professional purposes. Here are some of the popular ones:- Flash cards: These are a great way to start, and to build up a strong word power base. However, the lack of measurable achievement and gamification can make it difficult to keep score, and can reduce the motivation to keep trying at later stages. It also does not directly help to prepare for a test environment.- Simple questions and answers about word meanings: These are like flash cards, but with an option to keep score. This is probably the most common format that you will see in other books, but the format can get tiresome after a while, because you see it everywhere. In addition, the density of information is not very high; you learn exactly one word per question.- The format of most of the questions in this book: The gamified synonym format in this book is a great way to learn a large number of words quickly, and to be entertained while you're doing it! In each of the questions in this book, you will be given a word, and you will need to match that word with a second word that is closest in meaning to the first word from among a pool of five words. Here are the advantages of the synonym based exercises that you will encounter in this book:1. High density of learning: Each question ensures that you will learn at least two new words / consolidate your knowledge of at least two words (the two whose meanings you are trying to match). In addition, if you are stuck on a question, and need to look up the meanings of the other words in the options to make a guess by elimination, you could learn up to 6 new words per question. This is 500% higher than the average question in other test prep books.2. Interesting format: The freshness of this format ensures that you will never be bored, and that it will never feel like a chore. Many of the questions feel closer to puzzles than to exam questions, and this will help you out in more work per session than you could otherwise. This, in turn, will translate to higher test scores and a larger, richer English vocabulary, acquired in a shorter time than everyone else.3. Flexibility in attempting the questions in this book: If you want to dip into this book a few times a week, it will last you an entire year. If you want to spend a few hours every day attempting the exercises, it will last you an entire month on the first read through, and you can always do a second read through to check if you know the meanings of the additional thousands of words in the other options. You can also attempt it initially with the aid of a dictionary or thesaurus, and slowly fly solo; this is a great way to level up and feel good about your increasing proficiency in English.Have a groundbreaking, positive, memorable, successful, ineffable, awesome time! 50 Tattoo Designs by Jen G English | 2019 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0816X6QGB | 62 pages | EPUB | 4.61 Mb 50 Tattoo Designs is the fourth book in the tattoo series. 40 TATTOO DESIGNS by Jen G English | 2019 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B07ZS2PSNX | 60 pages | EPUB | 4.37 Mb 40 TATTOO DESIGNS is my third book from the tattoo flash series.
