Sinopsis

In "The Old Irish World," Alice Stopford Green presents a comprehensive exploration of Ireland's historical narrative, offering a vivid tapestry of its cultural and social evolution. Through meticulous research and engaging prose, Green delves into the rich folklore, political structures, and religious traditions that characterized early Irish society. Her literary style blends scholarly rigor with an accessible narrative, making this work a cornerstone in the study of Irish history and literature. Positioned within the broader context of Victorian historiography, Green's book reflects the era's burgeoning interest in national identities and the reclamation of indigenous histories. Alice Stopford Green, a pioneering historian and influential figure in early 20th-century Ireland, dedicated her life to the study of her homeland's past. Her background as an activist and writer inspired her to illuminate the complexities of Irish identity and heritage, particularly during a time when such narratives were often overshadowed by colonial perspectives. Her deep appreciation for the Irish landscape and its stories fueled her ambition to reclaim and celebrate the civilization that thrived long before modern tensions emerged. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in Irish history, literature, or cultural studies. Green's acute observations and passionate arguments invite readers to engage with the profound legacies that shape contemporary Ireland. By bringing the distant past to life, "The Old Irish World" serves as both an academic resource and a literary delight.

    What would you do if there was a tool to help you make better decisions in less time? You'd jump at the chance, wouldn't you? 
    Mental models help you filter information, which allows you to see things more clearly and make better decisions. 
    Mental models are also a shortcut to finding the quickest and the best route to solve your problems, whether work-related or personal. 
    The beauty of mental models is that their variety is virtually infinite, and they help you come up with solutions for just about any issue. 
    So you're thinking about opening a business. You're not sure what kind of business will be best. The law of Supply and Demand can help. It dictates that companies provide the goods and services demanded by the public. The most profitable companies are those that do this best. 
    Armed with this knowledge, you can now narrow down your options considerably. 
    "Developing the habit of mastering the multiple models that underlie reality is the best thing you could do," according to Charlie Munger, who credits his success to the lifetime cultivation of a "latticework" of mental models on which to frame his decisions. 
    The problem with the average person's mental models is that most are not designed to handle complexity. 
    And while the conscious use of mental models is possible, they require higher-order thinking skills that few people engage in for various reasons. But that doesn't have to be you! 
    Inside you'll find:How mental models declutter your thinking and stimulate decision-making (warning: immediate impact on 4 cognitive processes!)The Master List of mental models (including the best two used by Munger)3 characteristics that help you to spot an excellent mental modelWhy we don't use mental models and what we tend to do insteadHow to make your mental toolkit resemble a Swiss army knife in 5 steps

    On 6 and 9 August 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively. The bombings killed between 129,000 and 226,000 people, most of whom were civilians, and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in an armed conflict. Japan surrendered to the Allies on 15 August, six days after the bombing of Nagasaki and the Soviet Union's declaration of war against Japan and invasion of Japanese-occupied Manchuria. The Japanese government signed the instrument of surrender on 2 September, effectively ending the war.

    [How to Be Sad] invites readers into an intimate exploration of grief's geography, where sadness isn't a failure of happiness but a complete state of being. With lyrical precision and raw honesty, this meditation on melancholy challenges our culture's relentless pursuit of joy, offering instead a profound understanding of how sadness shapes our internal landscapes. Through delicate observations of daily life—the way light filters through curtains, how time bends around grief, the small rituals we create to anchor ourselves—the book illuminates the unexpected wisdom that comes from embracing our darker emotions. Like the fog that settles between buildings at dawn, this work wraps itself around the reader's consciousness, transforming our understanding of what it means to navigate the full spectrum of human emotion.

    In Residual Governance, Gabrielle Hecht dives into the wastes of gold and uranium mining in South Africa to explore how communities, experts, and artists fight for infrastructural and environmental justice. Hecht outlines how mining in South Africa is a prime example of what she theorizes as residual governance—the governance of waste and discard, governance that is purposefully inefficient, and governance that treats people and places as waste and wastelands. She centers the voices of people who resist residual governance and the harms of toxic mining waste to highlight how mining's centrality to South African history reveals the links between race, capitalism, the state, and the environment. In this way, Hecht shows how the history of mining in South Africa and the resistance to residual governance and environmental degradation is a planetary story: the underlying logic of residual governance lies at the heart of contemporary global racial capitalism and is a major accelerant of the Anthropocene.
