And by 1993 he was on the run, not just from the Colombian government but also from the CIA, rival drug cartels, paramilitary groups, and the ever-infamous vigilante death squad Los Pepes.

Galileo Galilei: A Captivating Guide to an Italian Astronomer, Physicist, and Engineer and His Impact on the History of Science , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 137min

If you want to discover the captivating life of Galileo Galilei, then keep reading...Galileo Galilei’s contributions to modern science were so fundamental to a variety of fields that even though he died almost 400 years ago, his name retains international acclaim.This 17th-century natural philosopher is often credited with the invention of the telescope, thanks to his many discoveries using that specific instrument, and though he was not, in fact, its inventor, the myth still persists. Indeed, Galileo was responsible for a series of upgrades to astronomy’s brand-new tool during the early part of the 1600s, and it was largely his innovative techniques that changed a somewhat mediocre magnifying glass into a revolutionary device. He was also the first to use his powerful telescope to look at the moon, planets, and stars and discover just how much there truly was out there beyond the realm of ocean, land, and clouds. His observations of the solar system were the first of their kind, and they helped cement a theory that had been appearing and disappearing from European philosophy for centuries: that the Earth was not the center of the universe.In Galileo Galilei: A Captivating Guide to an Italian Astronomer, Physicist, and Engineer and His Impact on the History of Science, you will discover chapters such as:A Stargazer Is BornGalileo Studies with Florentine MonksThe University of PisaGalileo Calculates the Location of HellProfessor at the University of PisaUniversity of PaduaThe Catholic InquisitionKepler’s StarGalileo and Johannes KeplerThe Starry MessengerGalileo Meets Pope Paul VThe Inquisition Visits AgainA Meeting with Pope Urban VIIIFinal Work and DeathAnd much, much more!So, if you want to learn more about Galileo Galilei, scroll up and click the "buy now" button! ungekürzt.

Thomas Aquinas: A Life from Beginning to End: Biographies of Christians, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 57min

Thomas Aquinas is known as a great theologian, and his treatises and theories are studied by clergy all over the world. He is celebrated for his words of wisdom as well as the alleged miracles that he performed while he was still alive. Yet as large as his acclaim may be, Aquinas has also had his fair share of detractors both during his lifetime and long thereafter. In the 20th century, for example, esteemed British philosopher and writer Bertrand Russel went so far in his criticism as to say that he believed that Thomas Aquinas was not a philosopher in the classical sense of the word but rather that he relied more on dogmatic Catholic faith than any sense of inquiry or inductive reasoning. There are of course those that would vehemently argue the opinions of Bertrand Russel. While it is not the purpose of this book to take one side or the other, these arguments and criticisms will be examined as we delve into the history of this great thinker. Casting all accolades and critiques aside, in this book, you will find the raw, bare bones of the man who Thomas Aquinas came to be. Thomas Aquinas had an exceptional life of both major accomplishments and upsetting setbacks - here, we explore them in full. Discover a plethora of topics such as:Born into a noble familyJoining the Dominican FriarsKidnapped and ImprisonedJourney to CologneThe execution of his brotherLate life and deathAnd much more...So if you want a concise and informative book on Thomas Aquinas, simply scroll up and click the "Buy Now" button for instant access! ungekürzt.

Constantine the Great: A Captivating Guide to the First Christian Roman Emperor and How He Ruled the Roman Empire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 81min

If you want to discover the captivating life of Constantine the Great, then pay attention...Constantine the Great is a complex figure surrounded by controversies and contradictions. The sources of history left for us to read are often biased one way or the other as he is the first Christian Roman emperor. His own propaganda paints a bright picture of his actions and his personality, while on the other side, we have his political enemies who paint him in much darker colors. All of the sources available to us either fully support Constantine or are strictly against him. There is no objective work that will give us any true insight on how Constantine lived, what he was thinking, and what his true motives were. In truth, contemporary historians served the purpose of writing what the people wanted to hear. They followed the latest political and cultural trends, and they did not care too much about objectivism and truth.The questions like what sort of a man was Constantine and what exactly did he achieve during his reign are still baffling historians. It is through tracking the right material and reading in between the lines that we are able to give some sort of answer. We have to use our common sense to discern the truth in the propaganda and paint a new, more accurate picture of Constantine the Great, his deeds, and his persona. In Constantine the Great: A Captivating Guide to the First Christian Roman Emperor and How He Ruled the Roman Empire, you will discover chapters, such as: The Early Life of Constantine the GreatEarly RuleCivil WarsConstantine, the Lavish AdministratorThe Man Behind the EmperorConstantinopleConstantine and ChristianityLate Rule and DeathAnd much, much more!So, if you want to learn more about Constantine the Great, scroll up and click the "buy now" button! ungekürzt.
