Sinossi

Underground Secrets unveils the hidden world of subterranean architecture, exploring tunnels, buried cities, and other underground passages throughout history. From ancient times to the modern era, these structures have served various purposes, offering protection, enabling escape, and facilitating clandestine activities. The book reveals how societal anxieties and the need for security drove the creation of these hidden realms. For instance, the book describes how bunkers and bomb shelters impacted civilian populations during wartime, demonstrating the ingenuity and resourcefulness required to construct these subterranean spaces.

 
The book examines the origins of underground structures and their development through thematic chapters. It explores underground structures built for protection, underground cities and settlements, and secret tunnels used for smuggling and espionage.

 
The book synthesizes findings from each chapter, highlighting common threads that connect these diverse examples of underground architecture. This approach offers a comprehensive overview, drawing from archaeological surveys, historical documents, and architectural plans to provide a multifaceted understanding.

 
The book's value lies in its unique combination of historical analysis and architectural scrutiny, providing a holistic view of the role underground structures have played in shaping civilization. By considering how subterranean spaces can be integrated into modern city infrastructure, Underground Secrets demonstrates the potential for utilizing these spaces to address contemporary challenges like climate change and population density.

    Even though emotional intelligence lacks the volume of quantitative empirical cognitive research that IQ has, the research in the field of cognitive learning has suggested that emotional intelligence is a key fundamental aspect of education. According to a report published by the National Center for Clinical Infant Programs, the level of success that a student has learned new material boils down to their levels of confidence, self-control, curiosity, their ability to communicate, their cooperativeness, their relatedness, and their intentionality. All these traits are aspects of emotional intelligence. More recently, social scientists are beginning to uncover the relationship of emotional intelligence to other organizational psychologies, such as leadership, group performance, individual performance, interpersonal exchange, performance evaluations, and change management. Humans are social beings, and as such, our level of success when dealing with people is intimately linked with our level of emotional intelligence.

    Mysterious North America:...

    At a time in antiquity when most of Europe was covered with forests and wandering tribes, Mexico had already developed complex civilizations, beginning with the Olmecs and followed by the Maya, a civilization with advanced knowledge of medicine, engineering and astronomy. The Maya calculated the precession of the equinoxes and cycles of the Pleiades, on which they based their year, since they believed they had come from that constellation. The last, and perhaps most famous, great civilization before the arrival of the Europeans was the Aztecs. 
    With so many ancient peoples whose influence, beliefs, and modifications to the landscape extend to the present day, Mexico is fertile land for legends, ghosts, surprising places, and mysteries. A belief in communing with things that lie beyond (stars, constellations, and life after death), mysticism, and apparitions are intimately woven into the colorful fabric of the Mexican nation. 
    As for the United States, many Americans think the land has always had a dark side and a strange side. Monsters and ghosts lurk in its woods and old houses, and strange monuments that may be from a forgotten civilization puzzle local investigators. All the while, the early inhabitants themselves were always superstitious, as evidenced by history’s most famous witch trials. 
    Canada has the reputation of being a boring place, but dig a little below the surface, and you’ll find a different Canada, a stranger Canada, one of murder, mystery, and paranormal experiences. The stories that follow will show that Canada, far from being a dull, staid nation where nothing much happens, is an epicenter of the mysterious. 
    Mysterious North America: Mysteries, Legends, and Unexplained Phenomena across the United States, Mexico, and Canada offers a vast compendium of strange, unexplained, and just plain odd stories across North America’s various regions.

    Nature's Resilience is about how resilience manifests itself in the natural world, and how such biological resilience may help us understand our own human resilience.
    
    The ways that biological organisms survive and thrive within a changing world can tell us a lot about ourselves, our behaviours and our approach to problem-solving. We may not be able to learn directly from the pine tree, the bear or the octopus, but they can reveal activities, behaviours, even chemicals or genes, that can benefit our world. What is more, animals and plants have been at the resiliency game for much longer than people and many have thrived through tumultuous, evolutionary times.
    
    The biological world can provide examples of how nature has solved challenges, and we should be humble enough to take note and reflect. The solutions can indeed have relevance for our complex and sophisticated range of human activities such as healthcare and wellbeing, including the sources of valuable drugs that can alleviate human ailments; physical security and national deterrence; crisis management and business continuity; organisational agility and corporate networking.
    
    By focusing on ten profiles of specific plants and animals, this book provides a unique window on our understanding of resilience in a broader context and by so doing provides pointers as to how we might improve and save ourselves from worsening the imbalance between the natural world and the human one.

    Ronald Reagan declares the Soviet Union an Evil Empire. The Apple Macintosh personal computer makes its debut. Michael Jackson's Thriller  dominates the charts. And Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics capture the NBA championship over the Los Angeles Lakers. It was 1984, and for the NBA and the nation, the year was full of milestone moments. 
     
     
     
    In Dynasty Restored, Thomas J. Whalen explores this dramatic season. The NBA had been struggling, seen as a minor sports league and suffering from poor attendance, lagging ratings, and drug scandals. The Celtics were beset by locker room turmoil, disruptive coaching, ownership changes, and underperforming stars. But Whalen reveals how that all changed when Bird and his fellow "Big Three" teammates Kevin McHale and Robert Parish, along with newcomer Dennis Johnson, banded together to lift the franchise to its fifteenth world championship and helped transform the league into a global entertainment brand. 
     
     
     
    Dynasty Restored offers insight into the barriers Larry Bird had to overcome to achieve NBA stardom, discusses the tensions that existed between Bird and McHale, and gives a probing analysis of the unique pressures Black Celtics players faced in a post-Boston Busing Crisis environment. And it shows how this singular season turbocharged the Celtics and the professional game to unprecedented heights.

    How did the State of Israel come into being, and why does it continue to enjoy such unwavering political, financial and military support from Western countries, particularly the United States? Written in the aftermath of the attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 and the devastating escalation that followed, Lines in the Sand brings together three penetrating essays that offer rare spiritual perspectives in the context of an historically grounded examination of the seemingly intractable Israel–Palestine conflict.
    The opening essay revisits the formation of Israel, focusing on the decisive role played by British and American elites. It studies the democratic legitimacy of international decisions such as the Balfour Declaration and the 1947 UN partition vote, explores contested ideas of a 'Jewish State' and a 'national home', and traces how imperial strategy, religious ideas and demographic engineering shaped Palestine's fate.
    The second and third essays examine the deeper origins and extraordinary influence of so-called 'Christian Zionism'. Tracing its roots from medieval proto-Protestant movements through the Reformation to modern American fundamentalism, Terry Boardman shows how apocalyptic theology, millenarian expectations and dispensationalist beliefs evolved into a powerful political force. He explains how this movement has shaped US foreign policy, sustained massive military aid to Israel, and helped determine events in the Middle East for more than seven decades.
    Informed by the work of Rudolf Steiner, these essays offer a challenging account of how theology, empire and power converged to shape one of the most enduring struggles of the modern world.
