America is at a crossroads. Either we remove the bullies and hate mongers from public office and return to seeking comprise with those who have differing opinions, or we watch our country dissolve before our eyes. This book address many of the areas of conflict and offers starting points for finding solutions that we can each live with instead of walking away angry, filled with despair. There are those in the public eye, both running for office or supporting candidates, who speak in anger, believing that there is only one answer, theirs. That is not the case and never has been the case. The United States, beginning with the founding fathers, knew that compromise was the only way this experiment would work.

Pubblichiamo l'orazione funebre scritta dal cavaliere e procuratore veneto Paolo Paruta , storico, politico e diplomatico veneto , importante personalità culturale della Repubblica di Venezia fu pronunciata in lode e a eterna memoria della vittoriosa battaglia contro i Turchi , oggi ricordata come " battaglia di Lepanto", accaduta il fatale giorno 7 ottobre nell'anno 1571, nel cui giorno ridiamo alla luce questo antico scritto. Questo scritto , pubblicato nell' agosto dell' anno successivo, voleva rimuovere nei veneti quel sempiterno dolore che nasce nell'animo alla privazione delle persone amate ma nella volontà del Paruta andava letto non con il pianto come si suole fare, ma con molta gioia lodando la virtù dei defunti e osannando la loro felicissima sorte. Rimanga questo scritto a lode ed onore imperituro del fedeli e coraggiosi eroi della Repubblica Veneta che con il loro sacrificio vinsero e salvarono così l' intiera Europa dalla barbarie mussulmana per i secoli a venire. Il testo è stato riscoperto da Lugin Tieppo, membro dell' attuale Maggior Consiglio della Repubblica Veneta e che firma anche la nota di presentazione a questa riedizione, dopo secoli di oblio.

The "King of Archery," "The World's Greatest Archer," "One-Shot," all names referring to Howard Hill -the champion of the longbow. No matter the title, Howard Hill was legendary, and his success led to the promotion of traditional archery and a surge of interest in the American Semi-Longbow.Howard Hill viewed the longbow as the most perfect hunting weapon. His modification of the English longbow to suit his needs, became the American Semi-Longbow. The American Semi-Longbow is synonymous with a Hill-style longbow -the bow that led him in his success.Today there are many versions of the American Semi-Longbow. In a quest to find the features that Howard Hill demanded in his own bows, a weapon that he perfected, was the impetus of this study. We can identify his standards by how his bows were built, what he insisted on in his own line of bows offered to the public, and what he taught to the bowyers employed by him. By examining Howard's original bows and following the progression of design until he perfected this weapon, we understand the qualities necessary in a Hill-style longbow. If you would like to know more about the equipment and the bow that led to his success, then you will enjoy this book.Metadata may include Howard Hill, John Schulz, Traditional Archery, Bamboo Bows, Stick Bows, Self Bows, ASL, Hill-Style Longbow, Archery Hunting, Archery History in America, Hunting with the Bow and Arrow, and Hunting the Hard Way.

Dall' infinito scaffale dei testi proibiti dalla attuale dittatura del Pensiero Unico, le Edizioni della Lanterna oggi traggono per i propri Lettori due scritti su un argomento proibitissimo : i dati della presenza ebraica nelle varie nazioni del mondo dopo la dispersione avvenuta nel 70 dopo Cristo ad opera dell' Impero Romano e la influenza degli Ebrei all' interno delle nazioni che li hanno ospitati. Il testo di Carlo Cecchelli è del 1939 e quindi dal punto di vista statistico datato. Ma non esistono studi attuali sull' argomento, perché le comunità ebraiche si rifiutano di farsi censire . Si può comunque affermare che in genere i numeri della presenza ebraica di 80 anni fa sono circa la metà o meno di quelli attuali. Ancor più difficile è esaminare gli effetti di questa presenza ebraica nelle nazioni : lo fa Cecchelli, riportando una serie impressionante di effetti negativi emersi con i censimenti nazionali : dalla partecipazione a movimenti sovversivi di stampo comunista, alla partecipazione a movimenti ed associazioni anti-cristiane, fino al controllo delle strutture finanziare degli Stati. In questi campi si strutturava la presenza e influenza ebraica negli anni 30 : i " veleni della Diaspora", appunto. Al lettore valutare se qualcosa è cambiato oggi. In appendice uno studio di Leone Franzi che analizza come veniva risolto nel 1939 dalla Germania nazionalsocialista il problema degli " effetti della Diaspora". Quanto avviene oggi in Palestina con il genocidio del popolo palestinese per mano ebraica, rende questo studio ancora di attualità e vagamente preveggente proprio per il suo carattere non edulcorato da filo-giudaismo Un libro che fa riflettere.
