 David Kirby, "A Concise History of Finland " English | ISBN: 052183225X | 2006 | 362 pages | AZW3 | 10 MB Few countries in Europe have undergone such rapid social, political and economic changes as Finland has during the last fifty years. David Kirby here sets out the fascinating history of this northern country, for centuries on the east-west divide of Europe, a country not blessed by nature, most of whose inhabitants still earned a living from farming fifty years ago, but which today is one of the most prosperous members of the European Union. He shows how this small country was able not only to survive in peace and war but also to preserve and develop its own highly distinctive identity, neither Scandinavian nor Eastern European. He traces the evolution of the idea of a Finnish national state, from the long centuries as part of the Swedish realm, through self-government within the Russian Empire, and into the stormy and tragic birth of the independent state in the twentieth century.

Fuad Musallam, "A Break in the Future: Feeling Like an Activist After the Arab Uprisings" English | ISBN: 1512828068 | 2025 | 248 pages | PDF | 10 MB Investigates how Lebanese activists work through failure to keep the possibility of political change alive  DARL LARSEN, "A Book about the Film Monty Python and the Holy Grail" English | ISBN: 1538134438 | 2019 | 632 pages | MOBI | 2 MB Monty Python's Flying Circus aired from 1969 until 1974, but the conclusion of the series did not mark the end of the troupe's creative output. Even before the final original episodes were recorded and broadcast, the six members began work on their first feature-length enterprise of new material. Rather than string together a series of silly skits, they conceived a full-length story line with references to the real and imagined worlds of the mythical King Arthur, the lives of medieval peasants, and the gloomy climate of 1970s Britain. Released in 1975, Monty Python and the Holy Grail was a modest success but has since been hailed as a modern classic.  Anthony M. Coniaris, "A Beginner's Introduction to the Philokalia" English | ASIN : B09M4CQL1H | 2021 | 89 pages | MOBI | 2 MB This beginner's guide to the great 5-volume classic of Eastern Orthodox spirituality studies the many concepts addressed in the Philokalia.

If I say it's ideal for beginners, I'll be hit with incredulity: How can a book that teaches so many obscure yet specific, fully functional drills for generating the deepest experience of internal power, with the physical training process as well as energetic effects laid out in illustrated drill steps - all supported by precise, original translations of the relevant sections of the classical Tai Chi writings supplemented with texts by little known historical masters - possibly be considered a 'beginner' book? On the other hand, calling it 'advanced' belies my motivation in writing it, because this is exactly the book I wish I'd been issued at the first Tai Chi class I ever attended. Not only for inspiration but for the specific, ground-truth covert energy methods. This book is packed with Tai Chi-based internal cultivation techniques that will take your practice of any Tai Chi style into hyperdrive. No matter how I describe it, somebody will post saying they feel ripped off. Furthermore, let me say it loud, say it clear, right up front: 'you cannot learn the form sequence from this book'. Is that plain enough? So - beginner? advanced? It's both, it's neither, or give me some other word for it. All I can say is that if you have any reasonable degree of intelligent, working interest in Tai Chi or human internal energy, this book was written for you.
