Summary

The Malthusian Handbook explores the intricate relationship between population dynamics and resource scarcity through the lens of Thomas Robert Malthus's theories. Written in a concise and analytical style, the book delves into the historical context of 18th-century England, where rapid population growth spurred concerns over social stability and economic sustainability. It critiques various social policies while employing a rich array of historical data and demographic studies, making complex concepts accessible to both scholars and educated laypersons alike. The Handbook serves not only as a guide to Malthusian principles but also as a reflection on their enduring relevance in contemporary debates about sustainable development and environmental ethics. The anonymity of the author adds a layer of intrigue to the text, suggesting that the insights imparted may be a collective reflection of contemporary thinkers rather than the voice of a singular individual. This choice emphasizes the widespread growth of Malthusian thought over time and its applicability to modern societal issues. The author's extensive research in sociology, economics, and environmental science showcases a deep engagement with Malthus's ideas and their ramifications in both past and present contexts. The Malthusian Handbook is essential reading for those intrigued by the nexus of economics, population studies, and environmentalism. It not only informs but also challenges readers to reconsider long-held beliefs about growth and sustainability. Scholars and policymakers alike will find this book a critical resource in navigating the complexities of our world's demographic trends and resource limitations.

    August 25, 1943. A lone bicyclist transports a cache of explosives, hidden in a beer crate, to a Copenhagen hall being readied to house German troops. In a violent blast, the would-be barracks is reduced to rubble. It's the boldest act yet of Holger Danske and the growing Danish resistance combating the oppressiveness of Hitler's Reich. 
     
     
     
    In 1940, on its way to conquering Western Europe, Germany coerced the Danish government into a "cooperative" agreement that lasted three long years until the increasing brazenness of the Resistance movement prompted a crackdown. Denmark's nearly 8000 Jews, who had so far been spared Hitler's wrath, now became the focus of his rage. A roundup was ordered to begin on October 1st, 1943, the first day of the Jewish New Year. 
     
     
     
    The only passage to safety was across the Oresund to Sweden. But no group existed to organize an escape. Until the last moment, Sweden didn’t agree to allow the refugees into the country; and the strait between the two nations was swarming with Gestapo. What happened next was a miracle. 95% of Denmark's Jews survived the Holocaust, the highest percentage in Europe. Here are the riveting true accounts of ordinary Danes who, using their modest resources, wiles, remarkable courage, and camaraderie, quietly orchestrated their escape.

    Self and Identity: The Basics is a jargon-free and accessible introduction that draws on key theories and ideas in social psychology to explore the ways that other people affect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Highlighting selfhood as a function of identity, the book shows that it is our relationships with others in our social world that largely determine who we are. 
     
     
     
    "Who am I?" It's a question that most all humans have grappled with at some point or another. This book seeks to answer this question through relatable examples that show how psychological theory can be applied to our own lives. It considers the philosophical and psychological context in which ideas about selfhood have developed and reviews the ways that the people around us, and the groups that we belong to, affect who we are. Finally, these ideas are considered in the context of real-world phenomena and behaviors; for instance, how we use language, conflict between groups, and social influence. 
     
     
     
    This book is an ideal introduction for students of social psychology and related fields. It will be of interest to anyone who wants to gain social psychological insight into who they are and how others got them there.

    The second-century Greek physician Galen—the most famous doctor in antiquity after Hippocrates—is a central figure in Western medicine. A talented doctor, surgeon, writer, philosopher, teacher, pharmacologist, and inventor, Galen attended the court of Marcus Aurelius, living through outbreaks of plague that devastated the Roman Empire. He also served as a physician for professional gladiators. In writings that provided the foundation of Western medicine up to the nineteenth century, Galen created a unified account of health and disease. In How to Be Healthy, practicing physician and classical historian Katherine Van Schaik presents a collection of Galen's enduring insights about how we can take care of our bodies and minds, prevent disease, and reach a healthy old age. 
     
     
     
    Although we now know that many of Galen's ideas about physiology are wrong, How to Be Healthy shows that much of his advice remains sound. In these selections from his writings, presented in fresh translations, Galen discusses the art of medicine, exercise and diet, the mind-body connection, the difficulty of applying general medical principles to individuals, and much more. Featuring an introduction and brief commentaries that connect ancient medical practices to modern ones, How to Be Healthy offers an entertaining and enlightening new perspective on the age-old pursuit of wellness.

    Sardar Sham Singh Attariwala by Dr.Ganda Singh 
    Sardar Sham Singh Attariwala is a famous historical book by Punjab’s well-known historian, Dr. Ganda Singh. It was first written in 1946 and published in 1990. The first 1,100 copies sold out quickly, and the book had been out of stock for a long time. Due to high demand, it is now being reprinted. 
    The book tells the story of Sardar Sham Singh Attariwala, a brave general of Punjab who, at the age of 80, led the Khalsa army against the British. He fought courageously for Punjab’s freedom and gave his life in battle. 
    This second edition is a tribute to his sacrifice and bravery.
