Summary

In "Wars & Treaties, 1815 to 1914," Arthur Ponsonby meticulously examines the critical military conflicts and the treaties that shaped the geopolitical landscape of Europe during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Ponsonby employs a clear, analytical prose style, woven with rich historical detail, to uncover the intricate interplay between war and diplomacy. The book stands as a significant contribution to contemporary historiography, providing insights not only into the causes and consequences of wars but also into how treaties were forged in the aftermath of conflict, reflecting the often turbulent international relations of the era. Arthur Ponsonby, Baron Ponsonby, was a noted British politician and historian whose keen interest in political truth and the fabrication of war narratives greatly influenced his writing. Drawing from a wealth of experience in the public eye and a deep understanding of the historical context'Äîthe emergence of nationalism, imperialism, and evolving diplomatic practices'ÄîPonsonby's nuanced perspective sheds light on his motivations to untangle the complex interplay of war and peace during this pivotal period in history. For readers seeking to understand the roots of modern conflict and relations, "Wars & Treaties, 1815 to 1914" offers a compelling exploration of how wars and diplomacy have shaped nations. This book is indispensable for historians, political scientists, and casual enthusiasts alike, providing essential context and analysis for our understanding of contemporary global dynamics.

    This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 134 by Elizabeth J. A. Harris, A Journey into Buddhism narrated by Ethan Christy. 
     
    Excerpt: 
    "The themes of the talks are rooted in my journey, as a Christian, into Buddhism. In the mid-1980s I felt the need to ’let go’ of my own religious conditioning to enter the world of another faith. It grew from a conviction that people with an interest in religion should not remain imprisoned within one framework but should explore others. The choice of Buddhism and Sri Lanka was a natural one for me. Buddhism’s emphasis on meditation and non-violence touched my own interests as a Christian, and a visit to Sri Lanka in 1984 had left me with the feeling that my link with the island was not finished. 
    I originally intended to be in Sri Lanka for one year. One year, however, became seven and a half, from 1986 until 1993. My aim throughout was not only to study Buddhism but to practise it. I did not consider myself involved in ’interfaith dialogue’ although I’m sure some perceived my actions in this way. I wanted to enter Buddhism on its own terms, as a human being rather than as a Christian." 
     
    The print edition can be found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. V. The eBook of Bodhi Leaves No. 134 can be downloaded from the BPS website.

    In America, liberalism brings prosperity to the majority? False. - In America, "anything is possible" for those who work hard? False. - In America, the unemployment rate is minimal? False.
    In America, poverty is relative and the poor live "like modest Europeans?"
    False. - In America, those excluded from the health care system receive free care when they really need it? False—really false. 
    
    In an excellent investigation, with clear and relevant examples, Michel Desmurget shatters the myth of a beautiful and prosperous America where everyone can succeed as long as they are hardworking and courageous. Taking the opposite view of the current dominant discourse on the virtues of the Anglo-Saxon liberal model, the author writes a disconcerting antithesis, based on American researchers, sociologists and journalists who have studied the failures of the American model and who, for the most part, recommend surprisingly European solutions (universal social security, introduction of a minimum wage indexed to inflation, federalized education, etc.).
