Beschreibung

In "The Influence of Sea Power upon History, 1660-1783," Alfred Thayer Mahan meticulously articulates the pivotal role maritime dominance has played in shaping global politics and warfare. Through a blend of historical analysis and strategic theory, Mahan examines the interplay between naval power and national prosperity. His eloquent prose weaves a narrative that spans significant naval battles, geopolitical tensions, and the implications of sea trade routes, while drawing connections to the expansionist policies of major 17th and 18th-century powers. The text stands as a foundational work in naval strategy, influencing military thought and the geopolitical landscape for decades to come. Mahan, a U.S. Naval officer and historian, emerged as a preeminent theorist of sea power during a period marked by the ascension of maritime empires. His personal experiences and observations during his naval career, including his service during the Spanish-American War, informed his beliefs about the essential nature of sea power as an instrument of national strength. His insights resonated with contemporary policymakers and military leaders, underlining maritime supremacy's significance in global affairs. This seminal work is indispensable for readers interested in military history, international relations, or maritime studies. Mahan's compelling arguments not only illuminate past conflicts but also provide strategic insights relevant to contemporary geopolitics. Engaging and thought-provoking, this classic text serves as a critical resource for understanding the enduring significance of naval power.

    Intellectually engaging and deliciously readable, a stereotype-defying history of how one of the most recognisable symbols of Italian cuisine and national identity is the product of centuries of encounters, dialogue, and exchange.
     
    Is it possible to identify a starting point in history from which everything else unfolds—a single moment that can explain the present and reveal the essence of our identities? According to Massimo Montanari, this is just a myth: by themselves, origins explain very little and historical phenomena can only be understood dynamically—by looking at how events and identities develop and change as a result of encounters and combinations that are often unexpected.
     
    As Montanari shows in this lively, brilliant, and surprising essay, all you need to debunk the “origins myth” is a plate of spaghetti. By tracing the history of the one of Italy’s “national dishes”—from Asia to America, from Africa to Europe; from the beginning of agriculture to the Middle Ages and up to the 20th century—he shows that in order to understand who we are (our identity) we almost always need to look beyond ourselves to other cultures, peoples, and traditions.

    Twenty-six centuries ago, the Buddha fleshed out the universal law of the spiritual realm: karma, which holds that our actions, our words, and even our thoughts inevitably produce effects that return to us in some form — in this lifetime or a future one. In The Beginner’s Guide to Karma, Lama Lhanang Rinpoche and Mordy Levine encourage readers to forget what they’ve heard about karma and look at the subject afresh. Delving into Buddhist scripture and tradition, the authors give a comprehensive overview that incorporates psychology, ethics, and metaphysics. Using everyday language and real-life examples, they clear away myths, illustrate how karma works in daily life, and offer practices to build positive karma. The Beginner’s Guide to Karma neatly sums up the Buddhist worldview and makes a compelling case for a way of being that nurtures compassion, joy, and inner peace in an uncertain world.

    Screen Damage - The Dangers of...

    All forms of recreational digital consumption—whether on smartphones, tablets, game consoles, or TVs—have skyrocketed in the younger generations. From the age of two, children in the West clock up more than 2.5 hours of screen time a day; by the time they reach thirteen, it's more than seven hours a day. Added up over the first eighteen years of life, this is the equivalent of almost thirty school years, or fifteen years of full-time employment. 
     
     
     
    Most media experts do not seem overly concerned about this situation: children are adaptable, they say, they are "digital natives," their brains have changed and screens make them smarter. But other specialists—including some pediatricians, psychiatrists, teachers, and speech therapists—dispute these claims, and many parents worry about the long-term consequences of their children's intensive exposure to screens. 
     
     
     
    Michel Desmurget, a leading neuroscientist, has carefully weighed up the scientific evidence concerning the impact of the digital activities of our children and adolescents, and his assessment does not make for happy listening: he shows that these activities have significant detrimental consequences in terms of the health, behavior, and intellectual abilities of young people, and strongly affect their academic outcomes.
