A dramatic account of the fateful year leading to the ultimate crisis of the Roman Republic and the rise of Caesar's autocracy When the Senate ordered Julius Caesar, conqueror of Gaul, to disband his troops, he instead marched his soldiers across the Rubicon River, in violation of Roman law. The Senate turned to its proconsul, Pompey the Great, for help. But Pompey's response was unexpected: he commanded magistrates and senators to abandon Rome--a city that, until then, had always been defended. The consequences were the ultimate crisis of the Roman Republic and the rise of Caesar's autocracy. In this new history, Luca Fezzi argues that Pompey's actions sealed the Republic's fate. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, including Cicero's extensive letters, Fezzi shows how Pompey's decision shocked the Roman people, severely weakened the city, and set in motion a chain of events that allowed Caesar to take power. Seamlessly translated by Richard Dixon, this book casts fresh light on the dramatic events of this crucial moment in ancient Roman history.

We make decisions everyday. Some are life altering and once made, cannot be undone. How many times have we been at major decision making junctures in ours lives? Whether or not or have a child? Which job offer to take? Should I get married? These are decisions that have forever changed our lives and altered our existence. Most of the time we forget about the choices that were available once we get on with our lives. Eventhough we may wish, at times, our decisions had been different, our lives have been forever altered. Some people believe in fate and what will be, will be. Still others fancy themselves masters of their own souls. Most of us are somewhere in between. We grope at life ́s decisions struggling to always make the right one. If we could know the future and exactly how each decision we make will pan out over our lifetime, then the process of picking the right road would be much easier. "THE RUBICON" presents a road that has a schceduled end -a predetermined result-a means to an end that is a roller coaster ride of happiness, joy and peace no matter what your circumstances are. "THE RUBICON" offers an understanding of why we exist and offers a poignant yet livable standard. There is no place on earth like living in the Master ́s Plan serving out His purpose for your life. You are created to give God praise and glory through your gifts and your talents. "THE RUBICON" beckons you to open up your awareness and see like you have never seen before- with the eyes of your understanding. "THE RUBICON" calls to your spirit to free itself from the bondage and oppression of ignorance and associate itself with the liberty that can only come from the God who created it. "THE RUBICON" challenges you to choose this day whom you will serve. Stop taking your knowledge from creation and link your soul to the all-knowing One-The Creator-The Alpha and the Omega-The Beginning and The End. The One who had no beginning who always was and always will be. Connect yourself to the source of life and allow His wisdom to flow to you and through you with eternal waves of glory. Our God is Holy and once you stand in His presence and begin to see Him as He is, then His holy presence becomes enough for you. You will want His presence more and more! It ́s one thing to be hungry for power and quite another thing to be satisfied by God ́s presence. "THE RUBICON" offers you a peek at what it feels like when He comes. Taste and see that He is Good.

Ross P. Cameron argues that the flow of time is a genuine feature of reality, and defends a version of the Moving Spotlight theory: the view that past and future beings are real, but there is nonetheless an objectively privileged present. He goes on to defend an account of the open future: what will happen is, as yet, undetermined.

The present volume containing the dissertation of Dorion Cairns is the first part of a comprehensive edition of the philosophical papers of one of the foremost disseminators and interpreters of Husserlian phenomenology in North-America. Based on his intimate knowledge of Husserl’s published writings and unpublished manuscripts and on the many conversations and discussions he had with Husserl and Fink during his stay in Freiburg i. Br. in 1931-1932 Cairns’s dissertation is a comprehensive exposition of the methodological foundations and the concrete phenomenological analyses of Husserl’s transcendental phenomenology.The lucidity and precision of Cairns’s presentation is remarkable and demonstrates the secure grasp he had of Husserl’s philosophical intentions and phenomenological distinctions. Starting from the phenomenological reduction and Husserl’s Idea of Philosophy, Cairns proceeds with a detailed analysis of intentionality and the intentional structures of consciousness. In its scope and in the depth and nuance of its understanding, Cairns’s dissertation belongs beside the writings on Husserl by Levinas and Fink from the same period.

Stepping Up: A Game Plan for Leading Your Business to the Next Level...and Thriving Once You're There Revised 2011 Edition This book is unique in terms of: * The need it addresses: Universally, executives need to determine if their organizations can achieve future success only by stepping up to the next level of sophistication. Like the baseball player who goes from the minor leagues to the major leagues or the actor who graduates from dinner theater to Broadway, the next level represents the same game, but with a significantly higher level of competition, customer expectations, and complexity. Readers who determine that they need to step up are taken through a 7-step process for getting to the next level and succeeding once they've arrived. * Its audience: It is geared equally to CEOs and division heads in large and medium-sized organizations and to owners of small businesses for whom the next level may be more modest. * Its format: It is a workbook that poses questions and provides blanks in which readers/users record their answers. This process guides executives--or, in larger organizations, executive teams--to the decisions and actions needed to step up in their unique situations. Readers leave the book with a game plan that includes actions, responsibilities, and completion dates. * Its length and style: It is the length of a pop best seller and uses the language seen in that type of book. However, it doesn't leave the reader hungry an hour later; it has the substance of a book that is considerably longer and more difficult to absorb.
