Synopsis

"Spring Traditions" explores the universal human experience of renewal and hope through the lens of spring festivals around the world. Focusing on Holi, Nowruz, and Easter, the book reveals how diverse cultures celebrate the season of rebirth. These celebrations, despite their unique expressions, share common themes, reflecting humanity's enduring desire for community and a fresh start.

 
Did you know that Nowruz, the Persian New Year, predates Islam by centuries? Or that the vibrant colors of Holi symbolize the triumph of good over evil and the arrival of spring? The book examines the historical context, social structures, and cultural practices that have shaped these celebrations.

 
By tracing the origins and evolution of each festival, "Spring Traditions" provides insights into the cultural, religious, and historical forces that influence human expression. The book progresses by introducing the concept of spring as a symbol of rebirth, then delving into the unique rituals and symbols of Holi, Nowruz, and Easter, culminating in a comparison of these festivals to highlight shared human aspirations. Its comparative approach offers a unique perspective on the diversity of human culture and the underlying unity of human desires.

    "Sun Tzu on the Art of War: The Oldest Military Treatise in the World" is a classic military text attributed to the ancient Chinese general and strategist Sun Tzu, written in the 5th century BC. This work is often considered one of the foundational texts in military philosophy and strategy. The book emphasizes the importance of strategy over sheer force in warfare, offering insights into planning, tactical maneuvers, and the psychological aspects of conflict, which are relevant for both military leaders and modern strategists. 
    At the beginning of this treatise, readers are introduced to fundamental concepts that shape Sun Tzu's principles of warfare. The opening section highlights the critical importance of understanding the nature of warfare, emphasizing that it is a matter of life and death for the state. Sun Tzu identifies five constant factors that must be considered in military planning: the moral law, heaven (weather), earth (terrain), the commander, and method and discipline. He advocates for strategic planning and adaptability, arguing that victory depends on effectively understanding and applying these elements in command situations. 
    The text also introduces the famous principle that "All warfare is based on deception," establishing a framework for tactical thought that resonates throughout the subsequent chapters.

    Freud's name is inseparable from his discovery of the unconscious and the consequences he drew from it: psychoanalysis. 
    This book takes up the issues raised by Freud with force and clarity, and sheds light on the crucial points. It shows how psychoanalysis' assault on humanity's self-esteem is still relevant today. To understand Freud is to enter the stage of otherness: we are not our only brain, nor our only body, nor our only family... Our specificity is to be subjects who speak, subject to the language that desire liberates.

    How close are we to myth, race memory? Do they infiltrate our minds? 
    Seamus Cashman's new collection, Clowns & Acrobats, swerves headily into a modern world of questionings, parenthood, relationships, conscience and death, while eyeing the poet;s close personal sense of history and celebratory myth. The exercise of power, the eccentricity of ideas, the magic of imaginings, the flow of language, an incredible musicality and the use – and abuse – of traditional forms here merge to delight the reader.

    This program is read by the author.Taiwan expert Kerry Brown sums up the history of Taiwan and the danger of a Chinese takeover in this succinct and authoritative book.When the bloody Chinese Civil War concluded in 1949, two Chinas were born. Mao’s Communists won and took China’s mainland; Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalists fled to Taiwan island. Since then, China and Taiwan have drifted into being separate political and cultural entities.Taiwan is now a flourishing democracy and an economic success story: just one of its companies produces over 90 per cent of the semiconductors that power the world’s economy. It is a free and vibrant society. For the United States and the West, the island is a bastion of freedom against China’s assertive presence in the region. And yet China, increasingly bellicose under Xi Jinping, insists Taiwan is part of its territory and must be returned to it. Should China blockade the island and mount an invasion, it would set off a chain reaction that would pitch it against the US – escalating a regional war into a global one. Taiwan is thus a geopolitical powder keg.Why Taiwan Matters helps us understand how and why we’ve arrived at this dangerous moment in history. With unparalleled access to Taiwan’s political leaders and a deep understanding of the island’s history and culture, Professor Kerry Brown provides a new reading of Taiwan, its twenty-three million people, and how they navigate being caught in this frightening geopolitical standoff. Why Taiwan Matters is the essential audiobook for understanding Taiwan’s unique story told in an accessible, expert and urgent way.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
