Sinopse

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 This approach offers a comprehensive overview, drawing from archaeological surveys, historical documents, and architectural plans to provide a multifaceted understanding.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.

  • A Rare Recording of US Admiral Thomas H Moorer on the USS Liberty Attack - cover

    A Rare Recording of US Admiral...

    US Admiral Thomas H. Moorer

    On June 8, 1967, during the Six-Day War, the USS Liberty, a United States Navy technical research ship, was attacked by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats. The combined air and sea attack killed 34 US crew members (naval officers, seamen, two marines, and one civilian NSA employee), wounded 171 crew members, and severely damaged the Liberty. At the time, the ship was in international waters north of the Sinai Peninsula, roughly 25 nautical miles northwest from the Egyptian city of Arish. Though Israel apologized for the attack, saying that USS Liberty had been mistaken for an Egyptian ship, survivors of the USS Liberty have maintained that the attack was deliberate. Admiral Thomas Hinman Moorer, the 7th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, later accused President Lyndon B. Johnson of having covered up that fact. As Moorer wrote in a January 2004 article: “Did our government put Israel's interests ahead of our own? If so, why? Does our government continue to subordinate American interests to Israeli interests? These are important questions that should be investigated by an independent, fully empowered commission of the American government.”

    Worst Cases - Terror and...

    Al Qaeda detonates a nuclear weapon in Times Square during rush hour, wiping out half of Manhattan and killing 500,000 people. A virulent strain of bird flu jumps to humans in Thailand, sweeps across Asia, and claims more than fifty million lives. A single freight car of chlorine derails on the outskirts of Los Angeles, spilling its contents and killing seven million. An asteroid ten kilometers wide slams into the Atlantic Ocean, unleashing a tsunami that renders life on the planet as we know it extinct. 
     
    We consider the few who live in fear of such scenarios to be alarmist or even paranoid. But Worst Cases shows that such individuals—like Cassandra foreseeing the fall of Troy—are more reasonable and prescient than you might think. In this book, Lee Clarke surveys the full range of possible catastrophes that animate and dominate the popular imagination, from toxic spills and terrorism to plane crashes and pandemics. Along the way, he explores how the ubiquity of worst cases in everyday life has rendered them ordinary and mundane. Fear and dread, Clarke argues, have actually become too rare: only when the public has more substantial information and more credible warnings will it take worst cases as seriously as it should. 
     
    A timely and necessary look into how we think about the unthinkable, Worst Cases will be must reading for anyone attuned to our current climate of threat and fear.

    Dark History of Penn's Woods -...

    When ships under the command of white Europeans first sailed into the Delaware Bay in 1609, southeastern Pennsylvania's documented history of the strange and unusual began. This book tackles seven true "dark histories" from Chester and Delaware counties, which include tales of murder, witchcraft, cannibalism, tragic accidents, and macabre events that actually happened in the Greater Philadelphia region. All stories are meticulously researched and placed within the greater context of Pennsylvania and world history. For example, the murder of three children by an indentured servant is placed within the context the kidnapping of children into servitude in England for sale to the Americas. The trial and execution of a woman for killing her infants is placed within the context of the rights of women in early America and how the court system failed them. The treatment of witchcraft is placed within the larger relationship of Quakers with the supernatural in Pennsylvania. This is not a book of ghost stories; this is an exploration of the real events that led people to believe in ghosts. It aims to strike a balance between a colloquial work that is accessible by a variety of listeners, and an solid academic work.

    The Expanding Circle - Ethics...

    What is ethics? Where do moral standards come from? Are they based on emotions, reason, or some innate sense of right and wrong? For many scientists, the key lies entirely in biology—especially in Darwinian theories of evolution and self-preservation. But if evolution is a struggle for survival, why are we still capable of altruism? 
     
     
     
    In his classic study The Expanding Circle, Peter Singer argues that altruism began as a genetically based drive to protect one's kin and community members but has developed into a consciously chosen ethic with an expanding circle of moral concern. Drawing on philosophy and evolutionary psychology, he demonstrates that human ethics cannot be explained by biology alone. Rather, it is our capacity for reasoning that makes moral progress possible. In a new afterword, Singer takes stock of his argument in light of recent research on the evolution of morality.
