Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, born in Alexandria in the Khedivate of Egypt in 1876 to an Italian couple, came of age during the turn of the 20th Century. He witnessed the rapid advancement of industrial society, observed the struggles of Europe's Great Powers as a war reporter, and saw firsthand the cataclysmic events of the Great War while a soldier in the Italian army. Marinetti founded the Italian "Futurist" movement, which emphasized dynamism, speed, technology, youth, and violence, finding inspiration in the automobile, the airplane, and the industrial city, and aimed to liberate Italy from the weight of its past. Futurism's key figures were Marinetti himself, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, Fortunato Depero, Gino Severini, Giacomo Balla, and Luigi Russolo. He would also gain some influence outside of Italy, notably with the Englishman Wyndham Lewis, whose "Vorticist" style drew heavily on Futurism. Marinetti found the world of the Great Powers, tied down by their immense histories, to be suffocating and moribund: like an open-air museum. He loved above all else the world of action and fire, machine-guns, cannons, and ironclad vessels. On this shared love of action, he drew close to Mussolini's Fascists, though this relationship was often troubled by Marinetti's criticism of what he perceived to be Fascism's reactionary tendencies.Originally published in 1933 as Il Fascino dell'Egitto, Marinetti's The Charm of Egypt is both a diary and an artistic rendering of his adventures among the Egyptian dunes. Marinetti paints the world as he saw it, through his unique Futurist perspective. His reflections on the land of his birth, and the changes wrought upon it by the forward march of technology, come together in this fascinating homage to that ancient and beautiful land. After nearly a century, Antelope Hill is proud to present The Charm of Egypt for the first time to the English reader. We hope that this beautiful account by one of Europe's most radical thinkers and artists will become a timeless artifact to be studied and enjoyed by many future generations to come.

In a world where intergalactic wars are a common topic for movies, it is hard to imagine that the discovery of galaxies was made less than a century ago. In fact, it was one of the key astrophysical milestones of the first half of the 20th century, along with the revelation of the expansion of the Universe and the understanding of the source of the stars' energy. The second half of last century saw the unexpected discovery of fantastic objects and extreme events in the Universe including neutron stars, black holes, radio galaxies, quasars, exoplanets, or stellar explosions. Modern cosmology was simultaneously established with the Big Bang model, leading to an astonishingly precise determination of the parameters of the Universe.The author here retraces the adventure of twentieth-century astronomy and describes how it has changed our vision of the cosmos. By assessing the major successes of this undertaking and highlighting the fundamental questions that still remain, he puts into perspective the recent progress at the dawn of the new millennium including the acceleration of the expansion of the Universe and dark energy, dark matter, exoplanets, black hole mergers and gravitational waves, to name only the most spectacular discoveries. This book thus offers, in a concise and accessible form, a synthesis of our current knowledge of astrophysics, including many beautiful images from leading observatories.

If outlaws come between the tall young surgeon and his childhood love, who'll be left to see another sunrise? Story Behind the BookAlways planning ahead for what we will write for Multnomah Publishers, JoAnna and I decided to follow the ORPHAN TRAIN trilogy with one about a medical doctor in the Old West, so we came up with the idea of a trilogy called FRONTIER DOCTOR. We introduced a teenage boy in the final ORPHAN TRAIN book who has a burning desire to one day become a physician and surgeon. This first book in this trilogy keys in on this young prospective doctor. Seeing history through this young doctor's eyes will deeply touch your heart and make these books impossible to set down. We also think you'll find this new trilogy filled with our faith-gained from so many years of serving the Lord and trusting His written Word.
भारतवर्ष के महान कूटनीतिज्ञ आचार्य चाणक्य ने बेहद साधारण परिवार में जन्म लिया था। लेकिन अपनी राजनीतिक सूझबूझ और ज्ञान के आधार पर वे मौर्य साम्राज्य के संस्थापक और चंद्रगुप्त मौर्य के महामंत्री बने। आचार्य चाणक्य ने चाणक्य नीति की रचना की। केवल प्राचीन काल में ही नहीं, बल्कि वर्तमान तथा भविष्य में भी इनके बताए गए सूत्र जीवन में हर कदम पर महत्त्वपूर्ण साबित होते हैं और होते रहेंगे। आचार्य चाणक्य ने अपनी बुद्धिमता, विवेक, चतुराई, अनुभव तथा ज्ञान के आधार पर मनुष्य जीवन के लिए इन सूत्रों का निर्माण किया और उनके लिखे हुए यह सूत्र आज भी जिंदगी के हर पहलू में उतने ही प्रासंगिक हैं। यदि यह कहा जाए, कि ईश्वर द्वारा ही आचार्य चाणक्य को यह प्रेरणा दी गई कि वे मानव मात्र की भलाई के लिए इन सूत्रों की रचना करें जिससे की संपूर्ण मानव जाति लाभान्वित हो सके और सही मार्ग पर चलने में सफल हो सके, तो कोई अतिशयोक्ति नहीं होगी। आचार्य चाणक्य ने जीवन के सभी पहलुओं पर मानव की प्रकृति को आधार बनाकर सभी सूत्रों की रचना की है और हर प्रकार के पहलू पर प्रकाश डाला है। यह बात बेहद आश्चर्यचकित करने वाली है कि उन्होंने राजनीति, सामाजिक जीवन, प्रेम, भक्ति, ज्ञान आदि सभी पहलुओं पर बारीकी से अध्ययन करके इन अनमोल सूत्रों की रचना की है।
ओशो का योगदान इतना गहन और विस्तृत है कि उनके योगदान को किसी धर्म, देश, लिंग या उम्र में सीमित नहीं किया जा सकता। अपने साहित्य के रूप में जो उन्होंने पीछे रख छोड़ा है वह उन्हें सदा आगे रखता रहेगा। ओशो भविष्य के मनुष्य हैं, उन्होंने वह सब दे दिया है जिसकी आने वाले युगों में भी आवश्यकता रहेगी। ओशो का योगदान किसी व्यक्ति विशेष के लिए नहीं है। उनका व्यक्तित्व बहुआयामी है, इसलिए वह सभी संभावनाओं का आरंभ भी है और अंत भी। उन्होंने मनुष्य के जगत को क्या दिया इसके लिए उनके हर आयाम को जीना और समझना पड़ेगा, पर हर इंसान ने उन्हें व उनके योगदान को अपने नजरिए से सीमित कर रखा है। ओशो उनके आंगन से टुकड़ा भर दिखने वाले आकाश का नाम नहीं है। ओशो आकाश की तरह हैं, जिसे जहां से, जितना भी देखो उसके बावजूद भी वह कई गुना रह जाते हैं। यह पुस्तक ओशो के विभिन्न क्षेत्रों दिए गए योगदान को टुकड़े-टुकड़े में देखने का नहीं उन्हें पूरा साबुत दिखाने का प्रयास है।
