Sinopsis

Past City Life explores the evolution of urban living across millennia, intertwining historical urban development with contemporary city planning. It examines how cities of the past were organized, managed, and experienced, providing valuable lessons for addressing today's urban challenges.

 
The book uniquely emphasizes the lived experiences of urban residents throughout history, offering a nuanced understanding of how urban planning decisions impacted daily life. One intriguing fact highlighted is how ancient cities, despite lacking modern technology, often developed sophisticated systems for water management and waste disposal, showcasing innovative solutions to common urban problems.

 
The book progresses by introducing fundamental concepts, then delving into specific historical periods and cities, such as ancient Rome and medieval London. It analyzes their infrastructure, social structures, and built environments. By comparing these historical urban experiences with modern city planning principles, Past City Life offers practical recommendations for creating more resilient and equitable cities. It underscores the idea that understanding historical precedents can significantly enhance modern urban design and contribute to more sustainable and livable urban spaces.

  • Life and Death at Abbey Gate - The Fall of Afghanistan and the Operation to Save our Allies - cover

    Life and Death at Abbey Gate -...

    "...a brutal, honest account by an American veteran of what went wrong and how a few determined people tried to make it right. Beautifully crafted and deeply researched, it marks a vital contribution to the accounts that have come out of the War on Terror."— Sebastian Junger, New York Times bestselling author
    
    As the American government began a disastrous mass evacuation of its Afghan allies, a group of American veterans saw the writing on the wall—the people who had supported them on the ground over the past two decades were going to be left behind. Instead of watching on the sideline, they sprang into action. The effort became known nationally as #DigitalDunkirk, in reference to the civilian aspect of the evacuation of soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk in 1940. As America's last days in Afghanistan came to a chaotic end, an ad-hoc group of veterans, intelligence assets and legislative aides undertook an extraordinary mission to honor the U.S. battlefield creed to leave no comrade behind.
     
    Relying on cell phones and satellites as their weapons, they worked feverishly around the clock to help evacuate as many Afghans who had supported U.S. troops over the past twenty years as possible. As the desperate mass of Afghans tried to flee brutal Taliban rule, Marines of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines, worked at Hamid Karzai International Airport's Abbey Gate in conditions that brought combat-hardened veterans to tears. After an ISIS suicide bomber detonated his S-vest, killing 13 U.S. service members, operations came to a halt.
     
    Told through the eyes of Mikael, his Afghan friend Abdul and the 2/1 Marines on the ground, including a Marine squad leader who personally led the Afghans through the airport, Life and Death at Abbey Gate tells the story behind the story of the mass evacuation of over 124,000 Americans and Afghan allies during a two-week period in the summer of 2021. 
     
    This is an important story that should be read by all Americans. A story of leadership, empty government promises and the convictions of our military to stand by our allies in their time of need.

    Economic Recovery Program

    Ronald Reagan

    On February 18, 1981, Reagan laid out his economic recovery program before a Joint Session of Congress. Reagan had previously outlined his recovery program in an Oval Office address on February 5, 1981, in which he displayed a dollar bill and 36 cents to show how inflation had reduced the value of a dollar since 1960.  
    Reagan made a further plea for enactment of his recovery program on April 28, 1981, following the assassination attempt on his life. Many economists credit this recovery program for reducing the inflation rate and igniting one of the longest and most robust economic expansions in U.S. history. 
    Reagan paints a grim picture of inflation, the national debt, and lagging productivity plaguing the economy. $41.4 billion of reduced spending is proposed with no reduction for “the poverty stricken, the disabled, the elderly, [and] all those with true need”. Subsidies of the synthetic fuel program, the Export-Import Bank, and the Economic Development Administration are targeted.  
    Block grants to states are proposed, along with changes to Medicaid, the space program, the Postal Service, and the Department of Energy. To counter the Soviet Union’s military build-up, defense is the one department with an increased budget. 
    A 10-percent tax cut for individual taxpayers is proposed for each of the next 3 years, along with increased depreciation allowances to allow business the capital needed to modernize.  
    We “must come to grips with inefficient and burdensome regulations, eliminate those we can and reform the others.”  
    To reduce inflation and interest rates, we need to slow the growth of our money supply. 
    This is our proposal for America’s new beginning. “I'm here tonight to ask you to join me in making it our plan.” Government “must not be used to regulate the economy or bring about social change.”

    Analytic Idealism in a Nutshell...

    As the failures of physicalism begin to shake the confidence of even the most biased of its supporters, a new view on the nature of reality is establishing itself as the only tenable alternative: Analytic Idealism. According to it, there is a world out there independent of our individual minds, but such world is—just like ourselves—also mental or experiential. While being a realist, naturalist, rationalist, and even reductionist view, Analytic Idealism flips our culture-bound intuitions on their head, revealing that only through understanding our own inner nature can we understand the nature of the world. This book embodies its author's years-long experience on how best to explain Analytic Idealism to someone who has never studied it before and has no background in the technical fields involved. It meets the listeners where they are, holding their hand as they are shown—through a series of evocative metaphors—how to see through their own unexamined assumptions, so to realize how the impossible dilemmas of physicalism disappear when nature is regarded from a slightly different slant. The conclusions have tremendous implications for our values and way of life, as well as our understanding of purpose, self, identity, and death.
