  The New Nuclear Age - At the...

  The world is entering a new nuclear age. Nuclear weapons are returning to the fore of international statecraft in ways unseen since the Cold War. With major powers like Russia issuing threats of nuclear strikes, China and North Korea continuing to grow their arsenals, and new prospects for proliferation from the Middle East to East Asia, the world has been thrust into a new era of heightened nuclear risk. 
   
   
   
  In this incisive book, international security expert Ankit Panda explores the enduring and emerging factors that are contributing to this new nuclear age. From strained great power ties to complex multipolar dynamics and the precipitous decline of arms control, he shows how our coexistence with the bomb is becoming more complicated and perilous. The prospect of nuclear escalation is again shaping how political decision-makers and military establishments around the world think and act. But unlike the peril of the Cold War, a greater number of nuclear players and a plethora of new technologies, including AI and exotic new weapons, make the search for stability far from straightforward. Managing the risks of a nuclear confrontation, he argues, will require new urgency and thinking to pull us back from the precipice of global catastrophe.

  Polygamy - A Very Short...

  Marriage has not always meant just one man and one woman. For much of human history, the most common alternative was polygamy: marriage involving more than one spouse. However, polygamy has come to symbolize a problematic, even "barbaric," form of marriage that is often labeled as "backwards," embodying the oppression of women by men. 
   
   
   
  In Polygamy: A Very Short Introduction, Sarah M. S. Pearsall explores what plural marriages reveal about the inner workings of marriage and describes the controversies surrounding it. The book emphasizes the diversity of historical polygamist societies, from the Shi'ite Muslims and Wendat men who practiced short-term marriages to the Mixteca, Maori, Inca, Algonquin, and Marta indigenous people of North America and the Pacific Islands. Pearsall also explains the divides within Christianity that led to Joseph Smith's establishment of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism). 
   
   
   
  Polygamy: A Very Short Introduction looks at how polygamous domestic and sexual relationships have influenced larger dynamics of power, gender, rank, race, and religion in societies all over the world, while also attempting to untangle the paradox of female constraint and liberty for women who advocated for polygamy, arguing that plural marriage offered security and stability rather than restraint for women.

  Life, death and love - 5 February 1969 
  • What is it that we call living? 
  • How can a confused mind find somebody who will tell the truth? 
  • When there is no comparison, no opposite, you are actually faced with the fact of anger, then is there anger? 
  • Without knowing what sorrow is, understanding its nature and structure, we shall not know what love is. 
  • What is it to die? 
  • One is never afraid of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an bend. 
  • It is only the mind that has shed all its burdens every day, ended every problem, that is an innocent mind. Then life has a different meaning altogether. Then one can find out what love is."

  With the United States’ entry into World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the first peacetime civilian intelligence agency in 1941–the Office of the Coordinator of Information. This office was designed to organize the activities of several agencies. In 1942, a larger and more diversified agency, the Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of today’s Central Intelligence Agency was created. This recording includes a short lecture on methods of interrogation, treatment of prisoners, understanding German and Japanese culture, procedures for ground forces that capture prisoners, and the use of practice interrogations.
