Sinopsis

Imperial Road Systems explores the vital role of ancient road networks in shaping empires, focusing on how these systems were more than just pathways. They were instruments of control, communication, and economic integration. The book reveals that these sophisticated systems were fundamental to projecting military power and efficiently managing resources.

 
For instance, the Roman road system allowed for rapid troop deployment and tax collection across vast territories. The book examines engineering feats and the impact of roads on political landscapes and socio-economic structures, demonstrating how these networks facilitated the spread of imperial ideologies and solidified authority.

 
Beginning with a historical context, the book progresses through case studies of the Roman road system, the Persian Royal Road, and the Inca road system (Qhapaq Ñan). This comparative approach highlights common principles and variations, offering a deeper understanding of the relationship between infrastructure and imperial power.

 
Concluding with an analysis of the long-term impact, the book assesses contributions to economic growth and cultural exchange. By drawing parallels between ancient road systems and modern infrastructure challenges, the book offers lessons for sustainable development and global connectivity, making it a valuable resource for history enthusiasts and students of classical civilization.

  • The Experiencer - Idealistic emergence God science and you - unified An idealistic theory of the world and a story about awakening - cover

    The Experiencer - Idealistic...

    The author firmly believes that the philosophical standpoint of idealism provides the correct understanding of the world. Nothing material exists; all are conceptions in a single, universal consciousness. 
    Is it possible? Is it likely? 
    This book shows that it is, in fact, the most likely explanation of all. In a mental world, it is easy to connect the natural sciences with humanistic fields such as psychology, language, music, sociology, ethics, religion – and everything else. 
    Common laws govern them all. Poetry and weather can be explained by the fundamental mechanisms of emergence and complexity dynamics. Economy, trees, gossip, elementary particles and cosmological events all follow the same laws in their development. 
    What, then, is a human being? What are life and death? What is time? You get specific answers. 
    The author says that he has ”known” things all his life, but it took many years before the knowledge entirely broke through. The first part of the book is about this awakening. You get to know precisely how it happened and what is required for it to occur. 
    The book’s second part presents a complete theory of the world. It is idealistic (Plato, Descartes), i.e. based on the fact that thought and consciousness are fundamental, while all the material things we see around us are mental conceptions which are also experienced as qualia; something tangible, felt, material, physical. 
    This is a book like no other, and it not only sets the mind spinning but presents what may well be an accurate description of the universe in which we live. 
    At the same time, it goes deep into being human; what it is in essence, and also why we experience life’s pain, fear, longing, etc. – and how we can live more in harmony with our authentic self, which is something quite different from what most people think.

    American tackle football is an industry like any other. And like many industries, it sells a product that is dangerous to those who use it—or, in this case, those who play it. Daniel S. Goldberg explores the connections among traumatic brain injury, collision sports, and the industry's continuing efforts to manufacture doubt. Focusing especially on youths and adolescents—the most vulnerable population that comprises over 99% of tackle football players in the US—Goldberg addresses the ethical and social implications of their participation in tackle football. 
     
     
     
    As the tackle football industry has consistently worked to mask the health hazards, it has used a particular tool that has proved highly effective in achieving this subterfuge: the manufacture of doubt. Goldberg advocates for using public health laws as a tool for countering these efforts at obfuscation, and he outlines specific policy proposals intended to address the population health and ethical problems presented by tackle football. 
     
     
     
    The book draws on public health ethics, public health law, and the histories of occupational and public health to assess the limits of parental choice to expose their children to risks of injury. Chris Nowinski, former Harvard football player and WWE wrestler, provides a timely and insider's perspective on these critical issues in the foreword.
