To Zenith the Lord said, "Be quiet and listen to the people that I send into your life, and then when you speak, millions of people's lives will change as a result."Zenith, God's mouthpiece, and his mirror soul, Armi, a mystic union long cast away, rejoins the world in brief from where dreams come and to where they come true. Having long made Melbourne his home, time has come to bid it farewell. Upon departure, a vision comes. Zenith sees people hungry for the life of wisdom earned. They too saw him, and came in earnest, and heard his parting speech.The people wake as dawn breaks. From worlds close and afar, they venture. Different faiths and walks of life fill the city centre. The congregation forge to the Yarra River, the dream setting, in prayer for a meeting with Zenith before he leaves its shores.Worlds meet and Zenith begins to speak on a range of topics: including awareness, light and dark, beauty, silence, emptiness, love, God, power and control, enlightenment, pleasure and pain, teaching, and more. In doing so, a power unforeseen emerges and confronts the throng's own perspective in such a way as to drive it to its peak, the greatest view.

World War II remains the bloodiest and most destructive conflict in history. It also is the most wide-ranging, and many theaters of the war took place in different parts of the world. Wars of the Twentieth Century: World War II in Europe deals with the European theater of this colossal war, and brings together twenty subordinate wars and campaigns from the Italian Invasion of Albania in April 1939, to the outbreak of World War II in Europe in September 1939, and up to its end in May 1945. This book is sectioned into 24 chapters, with the first chapter detailing the events of the interwar period, notably the pacifism of the 1920s to the early 1930s and the rising tensions by the second half of the 1930s. The main body of the book then delves into the combat phases of the war, starting with the German invasion of Poland in September 1939. In April 1940, Germany attacked Norway and Denmark to secure the iron-ore resources in northern Scandinavia. In May 1940, several months of combat inactivity at the Western Front, called the "Phoney War", was broken when Germany blitzed into Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and France. There followed the German air campaign on Britain, called the Battle of Britain, preparatory to a cross-channel sea and land invasion. The air attacks failed to force the British into submission, but Hitler believed that Britain was effectively knocked out of the war, and he was the master of Western Europe. By spring of 1941, Hitler had set his sights firmly to the east, to the massive invasion of the Soviet Union. The invasion was temporarily set aside, however, as Hitler intervened in the Greco-Italian War to extricate his beleaguered ally, Italian leader Benito Mussolini. With little preparation, Hitler also included Yugoslavia together with the invasion of Greece. Then later with the Balkans secured under German control, in June 1941, Hitler and his Axis partners attacked the Soviet Union with the largest invasion force in history. The offensive made spectacular gains initially, and the Axis seized large swathes of Soviet territory. But by summer of 1943, the tide of war had turned invariably against Germany and the Axis. The Soviet Red Army then began a juggernaut that would wrest back all lost territory and then push right through into Eastern and Central Europe and Germany. Meanwhile, the Western Allies of Britain, the United States, Free France, and their other partners joined the fray in Europe in May 1943 by invading Crete in southern Italy and then in September 1943 the Italian mainland. On June 6, 1944, otherwise known as D-Day, American, British, and Canadian troops, launching from southern England, landed at Normandy in northern France. From there, they liberated occupied Western Europe and pushed from the west into Germany. Some of the greatest battles in history occurred in the European theater of World War II, and are featured here, including the Battle of Stalingrad, Siege of Leningrad, Battle of Kursk, Battle of Moscow, 1940 Ardennes Offensive, Dunkirk evacuation, Battle of the Bulge, and the Battle of Berlin, among others. The chapter titles of this book are: Events leading up to World War II in Europe, Invasion of Poland, Winter War, Denmark and Norway, Invasion of Denmark, Norwegian Campaign, France and the Low Countries, Battle of the Netherlands, Battle of Luxembourg, Battle of Belgium, Battle of France, Battle of the Atlantic, Battle of Britain, Italian Invasion of Albania, Greco-Italian War, the Balkan Campaign, Invasion of Yugoslavia, Invasion of Greece, Invasion of the Soviet Union, Soviet Counter-attack and Defeat of Germany, Lapland War, Italian Campaign, Defeat of Germany in the West 1944-1945, and The End of World War II in Europe.

Great gift for Valentine's Day or any other capitalistic expression of love.

Almost forty-seven trips around the sun and this is my book of songs, poems and prose. I offer it for all to enjoy. Some content may not be appropriate for young audiences. Some content may not be understood by those not young at heart.This sailor is not a hopeless romantic but worse, a sometimes silly and always hopeful one.

Our country was built on a strong foundation imagined from men of the late Eighteenth Century. Many of their lofty ideals and goals are just as needed today but have been perverted by over two hundred years of self interested wealthy men and corporations. The idea of democracy held together by a republic is crumbling. Not because it isn't a viable idea but because the factions that would be covert monarchies are ruling behind a veil of deceit we call the Judicial Branch of our Government.History has shown us that the only way to change government is to overthrow it. Ghandi and Mandela have shown us that it is poosible to affect change if you are willing to stand up, sit down or go to jail for what you believe. Violence is not necessary but commitment is. Instead of bullets, all Americans need do is vote. Vote while you still have the power to do so.It is time for the Democrats and Republicans to face a new Party. The Statesman Party begins here with these ideas and this focus. Let's us write a new chapter in American strength and leave our country and the world a better place for our children. It is our duty and responsibility.
