The Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759 and the subsequent capitulation of Quebec set the stage for an equally significant French-British engagement in the struggle for northeastern North America, the Battle of Sainte-Foy. In the spring of 1760, after having suffered a brutal winter, Quebec garrison commander James Murray's troops were vulnerable and reduced to an army of skeletal invalids due to malnutrition and scurvy. Trapped in hostile territory and lacking confidence in the fortifications of Quebec, Murray planned to confront French attackers outside the walls. Instead of waiting at Montreal for the British to attack, Montcalm's successor, François-Gaston de Lévis, returned to the plains for a rematch accompanied by every combatant available--French regulars, Canadian militia and First Peoples warriors. The ensuing Battle of Sainte-Foy was less a battle for territory than a struggle for survival between two equally desperate adversaries. If the British lost the battle, they would lose Quebec. If the French lost the battle, they would very likely lose Canada--both the French and the British had their backs to the wall. MacLeod presents this historical event in riveting detail, from the preparation and day-by-day actions during the engagement to the compelling siege of Quebec by land and ship. Backs to the Wall is an accessible and engaging account of an important episode in Canadian history.

With so much at stake and so much already lost, why did World War I end with a whimper-an arrangement between two weary opponents to suspend hostilities? After more than four years of desperate fighting, with victories sometimes measured in feet and inches, why did the Allies reject the option of advancing into Germany in 1918 and taking Berlin? Most histories of the Great War focus on the avoidability of its beginning. This book brings a laser-like focus to its ominous end-the Allies' incomplete victory, and the tragic ramifications for world peace just two decades later. In the most comprehensive account to date of the conflict's endgame, David Stevenson approaches the events of 1918 from a truly international perspective, examining the positions and perspectives of combatants on both sides, as well as the impact of the Russian Revolution. Stevenson pays close attention to America's effort in its first twentieth-century war, including its naval and military contribution, army recruitment, industrial mobilization, and home-front politics. Alongside military and political developments, he adds new information about the crucial role of economics and logistics. The Allies' eventual success, Stevenson shows, was due to new organizational methods of managing men and materiel and to increased combat effectiveness resulting partly from technological innovation. These factors, combined with Germany's disastrous military offensive in spring 1918, ensured an Allied victory-but not a conclusive German defeat.

I started the "Golden Information Age," the dimension where there is no time and space in 2014 with the slogan "Do not decide who creates it and how you will live before you understand where you live in!” I was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2015 because I draw attention to Holistic Peace, which includes not only peace amongst people-people, but also amongst people-animals and people-nature. I sent an introductory letter to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, for the inclusion of a new category titled "Holistic Peace." (Page: 7) Not winning a prize enabled me to find a better solution by motivating me to explore and think deeper. Technological developments have overturned economies and societies throughout history. While the beginning of the Artificial Intelligence period, called the Fourth Industrial Revolution, was announced at the Davos Summit in January 2016, the real revolution has been happening in humanity as he was passing from the “BELIEF” to the “COMPREHENSION” phase. Peace is where everyone comes together and lives in harmony with the same objectives. World peace will arrive when we (1) unite against extraterrestrial attack or danger, (2) have unquestionable proof of God. This book invites people to compulsory Holistic Peace using science and technology, while giving new answers to the existence of God and creation, especially from a perspective of the conscious artificial intelligence-based point of view. This book, which will be distributed worldwide free of charge in Turkish and English as an e-book, with the aim of creating individual contributions to Holistic Peace, is asking the readers to make small favors to people, animals or nature and share these under #butunselbaris or #holisticpeace to spread the Holistic Goodness movement.The over 100-year history of the Nobel Peace Prize shows us that there are many different paths to peace. The greatest platform acknowledged in the world is God's faith. When we find indisputable evidence to the existence of God by using faith together with science and technology in the course of philosophical inquiries, Holistic Peace will prosper spontaneously. Initiating the Holistic Peace Category in the context of the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize with the inclusion of the first award to myself as I place my candidacy once again, will be a great opportunity and inspiration for all those Good People who work for Holistic Peace around the world.

Tuesday night: vodka and dancing at the Hungry Duck. Wednesday morning: posing as an expert on Pushkin at the university. Thursday night: more vodka and girl-chasing at Propaganda. Friday morning: a hungover tour of Gorky's house. Martin came to Moscow at the turn of the millennium hoping to discover the country of Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, and his beloved Chekhov. Instead he found a city turned on its head, where the grimmest vestiges of Soviet life exist side by side with the nonstop hedonism of the newly rich. Along with his hard-living expat friends, Martin spends less and less time on his studies, choosing to learn about the Mysterious Russian Soul from the city's unhinged nightlife scene. But as Martin's research becomes a quest for existential meaning, love affairs and literature lead to the same hard-won lessons. Russians know: There is more to life than happiness. Back to Moscow is an enthralling story of debauchery, discovery, and the Russian classics. In prose recalling the neurotic openheartedness of Ben Lerner and the whiskey-sour satire of Bret Easton Ellis, Guillermo Erades has crafted an unforgettable coming-of-age story and a complex portrait of a radically changing city.
