Free Download Our Flag Was Still There: The Star Spangled Banner That Survived the British and 200 Years―and the Armistead Family Who Saved It (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BYKDP2WF | 2023 | 8 hours and 47 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 256 MB
Author: Tom McMillan
Narrator: Robert Fass
Our Flag Was Still There details the improbable two-hundred-year journey of the original Star-Spangled Banner-from Fort McHenry in 1814, when Francis Scott Key first saw it, to the Smithsonian-and the enduring family who defended, kept, hid, and ultimately donated the most famous flag in American history. Francis Scott Key saw the original Star-Spangled Banner flying over Baltimore’s Fort McHenry on September 14, 1814, following a twenty-five-hour bombardment by the British Navy, inspiring him to write the words to our national anthem. Torn and tattered over the years, reduced in size to appease souvenir-hunters, stuffed away in a New York City vault for the last two decades of the nineteenth century, the flag’s mere existence after two hundred years is an improbable story of dedication, perseverance, patriotism, angst, inner-family squabbles, and, yes, more than a little luck. Our Flag Was Still There provides new insight into an intriguing period of US history, offering a "story behind the story" account of one of the country’s most treasured relics.

Free Download Why Traditional Chinese Philosophy Still Matters: The Relevance of Ancient Wisdom for the Global Age By Ming Dong Gu
2018 | 252 Pages | ISBN: 1138562718 | PDF | 3 MB
Traditional Chinese philosophy, if engaged at all, is often regarded as an object of antiquated curiosity and dismissed as unimportant in the current age of globalization.Written by a team of internationally renowned scholars, this book, however, challenges this judgement and offers an in-depth study of pre-modern Chinese philosophy from an interdisciplinary perspective. Exploring the relevance of traditional Chinese philosophy for the global age, it takes a comparative approach, analysing ancient Chinese philosophy in its relation to Western ideas and contemporary postmodernist theories. The conversation extends over a broad spectrum of philosophical areas and themes, ranging from metaphysics, hermeneutics, political theory, religion and aesthetics to specific philosophical schools including Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism. By engaging many time-honoured philosophical issues from a comparative perspective, this book bridges the gap between Eastern and Western thought and emphasises the need for a newly fortified global humanism and a deeper appreciation of different philosophical and religious values in an age gripped by large-scale crises.Arguing that traditional Chinese philosophy has immediate relevance to the many challenges of modern life, this book will be useful to students and scholars of Asian Philosophy and Asian Studies in general.
