19th century Europe produced some of the greatest soldiers, statesmen, scientists, artists, and thinkers of any period in recorded history.

But nationalism was accompanied by a chauvinistic impulse toward militarism.

At the beginning of the book of the Revelation of St. John, John was commanded to "write in a book what you see and send it to the seven churches". We know that these seven churches were named after cities in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). From the Book of Revelation itself, we have St. John's description of each Church:

It's a classic story of the American Dream. George Mitchell grew up in a working class family in Maine, experiencing firsthand the demoralizing effects of unemployment when his father was laid off from a lifelong job. But education was always a household priority, and Mitchell embraced every opportunity that came his way, eventually becoming the ranking Democrat in the Senate during the administrations of George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton.

Something happened to Ava. The curving scar on her face is proof. Ava would rather keep that something hidden - buried deep in her heart and her soul.

While working with more than 14,000 patients, Dr. Yass realized that many cases of chronic pain are the result of misdiagnosis and thus improper treatment.

Written by Naoki Higishida when he was only 13, this remarkable book explains the often baffling behaviour of autistic children and shows the way they think and feel - about the people around them, time and beauty, noise, and themselves. Naoki abundantly proves that autistic people do possess imagination, humour and empathy, but also makes clear, with great poignancy, how badly they need our compassion, patience and understanding.

For the first time in history, human and raknoth stand united against the doom coming to swallow them all whole. Okay. On second thought, "united" is probably a strong word. Turns out, mutual fear of galaxy-conquering super monsters does not a steadfast alliance make. Especially not between the people of Earth and the very creatures that devastated it.

During his years as a public official, Mitchell Weiss was told that government can't do new things or solve tough challenges - it's too big and slow and bureaucratic. Sadly, this is what so many of us have come to believe. But in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, he and his city hall colleagues raced to support survivors in new, innovative ways. This kind of entrepreneurial spirit and savvy in government is growing, transforming the public sector's response to big problems at all levels.

Deaths resulting from interactions with the US criminal legal system are a public health emergency, but the scope of this issue is intentionally ignored by the very systems that are supposed to be tracking these fatalities.

"Via col vento" è un capolavoro senza tempo, un esempio lampante dell’altissima capacità creativa e narrativa di Margaret Mitchell, uno spaccato di storia di una nazione ancora in via di sviluppo, un estratto pungente e dettagliato di una società isolata e retrograda, una lunga e sofferta storia d’amore. Leggendo questo romanzo e guardando il film del 1939 di Victor Fleming si viene catapultati in un mondo antico ma non così tanto, un mondo che ha il sapore della terra rossa e del cuoio, del sudore e delle lacrime, del sangue e della polvere da sparo.
