Summary

In "Irish Nationality," Alice Stopford Green eloquently explores the complex interplay of history, culture, and identity that has shaped Ireland's national consciousness. This work is characterized by Green's distinctive literary style, which blends meticulous historical analysis with a passionate narrative voice. Written during the late 19th century, a time marked by rising nationalist sentiments and political upheaval in Ireland, Green's text serves both as a scholarly examination and a heartfelt plea for the recognition of Ireland's unique cultural heritage amid British dominance. Alice Stopford Green was an influential historian, political activist, and an early advocate for Irish independence. Born into an Anglo-Irish family, her deep-seated love for her homeland's history and culture compelled her to address the disparities in how Irish identity was perceived and understood. Her personal experiences, coupled with a commitment to social justice, informed her scholarly pursuits and her fervent desire to articulate a vision of an independent Ireland that was both historically rooted and vibrantly future-focused. "Irish Nationality" is an essential read for anyone interested in Irish history, nationalism, and the arts. Green's incisive insights and heartfelt arguments resonate with contemporary discussions on identity and sovereignty, making this book pivotal for scholars and general readers alike.

    What makes a state? This question has attracted more and more attention in recent years with Catalan's illegal vote for independence from Spain and Palestine's ongoing search for international recognition. And while Scotland chose to remain with the United Kingdom, discussions of independence have only continued as the ramifications of the Brexit vote begin to set in. Kosovo, South Sudan, and the situation in Ukraine—each in its way reveals the perils of creating a nation separate from neighbors who have dominated it. 
 
 
 
As James Ker-Lindsay and Mikulas Fabry show in this new addition to the What Everyone Needs to Know® series, the road to statehood never did run smooth. Declaring independence is only the first step; gaining both local and global acceptance is necessary before a state can become truly independent. The prospect of losing territory is usually not welcomed by the parent state. Beyond this immediate conflict, the international community often refuses to accept new states without proof of defined territory, a settled population, and effective government, which frequently translates to a democratic one with demonstrated respect for human rights. Covering the legal, political, and practical issues of secession and state creation, Ker-Lindsay and Fabry provide a sure-footed guide to a complex topic.

    In 1968, biologist John Calhoun began an experiment at the National Institute of Mental Health in Maryland. Calhoun was interested in discovering the factors that drove and limited rodent population growth; he had joined the Rodent Ecology Project in Baltimore in 1946, and he and other members of the project had become interested in understanding how to reduce rodent pests in America’s cities without the use of poison. 
	Calhoun had already undertaken similar experiments. In fact, this would be his 25th attempt at creating a self-sustaining rodent colony. This experiment was known as the Mortality-Inhibiting Environment for Mice, but informally, it was known as mouse heaven or, more commonly, mouse utopia.  
	The experiment was carefully crafted, and Calhoun’s previous experience was used to design a “perfect” environment for mice. Free from predators, disease, and stress, with unlimited access to water and plentiful food supplies, the mice involved could, in theory, live much longer lives than mice in the wild. Calhoun built the “mouse universe,” added mice, and provided food and water. Then, for almost five years, he simply watched what happened in mouse utopia. 
	While it may be fair to wonder how a fairly obscure zoological experiment that took place over 50 years ago has any relevance to modern society, since the experiment ended, people have been using the findings of what became known as the Calhoun Mouse Utopia Experiment to make predictions about human behavior and human societies. In the decades since Calhoun finished his work, this experiment has been used to “prove,” among other things, that modern urban society is doomed, that contemporary society will inevitably lead to lethal levels of overpopulation, and even that political creeds such as communism and socialism are unsustainable.
