Most of us have instinctive evidence the world is ending - balmy December days, face-to-face conversation replaced with heads-to-screens zomboidism, a world at constant war, a political system in disarray. We hear some myths and lies so frequently that they feel like truths: Civilization is humankind’s greatest accomplishment. Progress is undeniable. Count your blessings. You’re lucky to be alive here and now. Civilized to Death counters the idea that progress is inherently good, arguing that the "progress" defining our age is analogous to an advancing disease.

Waste of a credit ‼️‼️

I believe this could be the authors self portrait on the cover , he's literally written a book by a monkey for other monkeys , you'll need to find a jungle in some third world and live in their jungle to be happy with this attack on civilisation , most people in the 1600 till the start of the industrial revolution were dead before 40 or at least considered lucky to survive child birth due to disease and starvation , and just for the record all the great civilizations collapsed from the inside but that's a whole other subject your blind to , Enough its crap ...

I like the narrator James Anderson Foster on all his readings however this is clearly written with spite and misleading quotes that serve the democratic mind of utopia rather than our Presidents heroic actions to stand up to dictators whom seek to exploit our constitution and the greatest President this world as seen ... history as will prove the knives were out early even by his own party , as for this book , history will forget it and see it for what it is , propaganda all is phony ( Bob Dylan ) and ( We'll See ) to quote President Donald J Trump ... ( a waste of a credit )

Guiding you chronologically through the life and times of this master statesman, Professor Shelden takes you from the dawn of Churchill’s political career to his final years in a much-changed geopolitical landscape. You’ll examine Churchill’s beginnings as a young liberal statesman, his rise to the Admiralty and his relentless push for an imposing naval force, his fight against the Nazis, his equally dramatic postwar career suspended between two different cold wars (against the Soviets and Britain’s Labour party), and more.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 117
"I am a sick man...I am a spiteful man", a nameless voice cries out. And so, from underground, emerge the passionate confessions of a suffering man; the painful self-examination of a tormented soul; the bristling scorn of a lonely individual who has become one of the greatest anti-heroes in all literature.

Get the story the fake news media doesn't want you to hear in the number-one New York Times best seller: a withering indictment of the Deep State plot against Trump and a firsthand account of the real presidency, based on interviews with the Trump family and top administration officials.

Judge Jeanine Pirro's case is overwhelmingly sound
Revisado: 07-18-18

Fake coverage of the media and high court judges all used by these departments to bring about the failed attempt to undermine and deceive our Presidency with every dirty trick in the book , the Judge has been on to these deep state lying Leaking Liberals and corrupt hold overs in the White House and bought owned and payed for NEWS outlets whom will stop at nothing to destroy and control our elections , cover up the lies from the 8 years and before , its not long folks till they our exposed , and Judge Pirro explains how they will be exposed for what they really are and what they really want to turn the greatest Country the History of Civilisation has known , in to 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Great Book , well read and well written ....

When the crew of the Oceanus rescued a man close to death, its captain could barely have guessed at the incredible story that man would come to share. This is the story of Victor Frankenstein: a man obsessed with discovering the secret of life and cheating death; a man who brings to life to a body built from corpses; and a man who rejects this would-be child.... Soon Victor and his creature are entangled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse across Europe. But who is truly the monster?
