Sinopsis

"Empires Unraveled" explores the evolution of imperial power throughout history and its impact on contemporary global dynamics. This thought-provoking book examines the lifecycle of historical empires, the transformation of colonialism, and the emergence of new forms of global influence. By tracing the patterns of imperial rise and fall, the author argues that while traditional empires may have dissolved, the fundamental drivers of imperial ambition continue to shape our world in subtle ways.   
The book's unique perspective on the cyclical nature of power sets it apart, challenging readers to reconsider their understanding of current geopolitical landscapes. It employs innovative data visualization techniques to illustrate complex historical trends, making the information accessible to a broad audience. By bridging the gap between history, political science, and economics, "Empires Unraveled" demonstrates how imperial legacies continue to influence international relations and global economic systems.   
Progressing from ancient civilizations to modern power structures, the book guides readers through a comprehensive analysis of imperial history. It culminates in a critical assessment of contemporary global influence, offering practical frameworks for analyzing current events through the lens of historical patterns. This approach empowers readers to apply historical insights to present-day geopolitical situations, making it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand the forces shaping our interconnected world.

    Why did Ukraine lose the war against Russia? How do the two sides think and conduct their operations? What mistakes were made on both sides? How did the West contribute to Ukraine's defeat? 
    To answer these questions and many others, Jacques Baud draws on official information, American, Western and Russian documents that analyse Russian (and Soviet) strategies and tactics over the last 50 years. He explains how Russia understands and conducts war, and shows how our ignorance of this reality has pushed Ukraine towards defeat. 
    This audiobook is read by a synthesized voice.
    
    Jacques Baud was a member of Swiss strategic intelligence, a specialist in Eastern Europe and former head of doctrine for UN peacekeeping operations. During the Cold War, he worked on Soviet military art and the war in Afghanistan. Within NATO, he was involved in programs in Ukraine, notably after the 2014 Maïdan revolution.

    What has gone wrong with the left—and what leftists must do if they want to change politics, ethics, and minds. 
     
     
     
    Leftists have long taught that people in the West must take responsibility for centuries of classism, racism, colonialism, patriarchy, and other gross injustices. Of course, right-wingers constantly ridicule this claim for its "wokeness." 
     
     
     
    In Coming Clean, Eric Heinzerejects the idea that we should be less woke. In fact, we need more wokeness, but of a new kind. Yes, we must teach about these bleak pasts, but we must also educate the public about the left's own support for regimes that damaged and destroyed millions of lives for over a century—Stalin in the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia, or the Kim dynasty in North Korea. 
     
     
     
    Criticisms of Western wrongdoing are certainly important, yet Heinze explains that leftists have rarely engaged in the kinds of open and public self-scrutiny that they demand from others. Citing examples as different as the Ukraine war, LGBTQ+ people in Cuba, the concept of "hatred," and the problem of leftwing antisemitism, Heinze explains why and how the left must change its memory politics if it is to claim any ethical high ground.

    More than ever, it feels like cultural and political divisions over firearms are tearing the United States apart. Guns are an undeniable and contradictory presence in America, both widely owned and controversial. This book does something remarkable: it promotes insight over animosity in understanding the complex reality of guns in America. It challenges firearms skeptics, entertains enthusiasts, and informs the uncommitted by taking readers on a surprising journey inside gun culture. 
    A lifelong liberal from the San Francisco Bay Area, David Yamane became a new gun owner as a 42-year-old and embarked on an immersive twelve-year study of American gun culture. Weaving together his personal experiences and sociological observations to explain why guns make sense to those who own them, he illuminates defensive gun ownership, the risk of negative outcomes associated with firearms, and what responsible gun ownership looks like in the twenty-first century. This book lowers the heat on America’s inflamed arguments about firearms and models the civil discussions we desperately need.

    Mind control is the practice of influencing, manipulating, or dominating an individual’s thoughts, behaviors, or perceptions, often without their conscious awareness. Throughout history, different societies have employed various forms of psychological influence to control groups and individuals, from religious indoctrination to political propaganda and media conditioning. While some forms of persuasion are ethical and openly acknowledged, mind control often operates in subtle, deceptive ways, making it difficult for individuals to recognize or resist. 
    At its core, mind control exploits human cognitive vulnerabilities. The mind is naturally susceptible to suggestion, repetition, and emotional influence. When exposed to specific messages or ideas repeatedly, a person may begin to internalize them as truth, even in the absence of logical evidence. This principle is used in advertising, politics, religious movements, and personal relationships to shape opinions and behaviors. Whether through fear, guilt, reward, or isolation, those seeking control can manipulate their targets into conforming to specific beliefs or actions. 
    One of the most effective tools of mind control is misinformation. By distorting reality or presenting selective facts, individuals or institutions can shape perceptions to suit their own agendas. Governments have historically used propaganda to maintain control over populations, while corporations use psychological tactics to influence consumer behavior. In personal relationships, emotional abusers use manipulation techniques such as gaslighting to make their victims question their own perceptions and reality.

    It is time for an emotional reckoning on our path to racial healing, sustainable equity, and the future of DEI. Here's the tool to help us navigate it. 
     
     
     
    In this groundbreaking book, Esther Armah argues that the crucial missing piece to racial healing and sustainable equity is emotional justice—a new racial healing language to help us do our emotional work. This work is part of the emotional reckoning we must navigate if racial healing is to be more than a dream. We all—white, Black, Brown—have our emotional work that we need to do. But that work is not the same for all of us. 
     
     
     
    This emotional work means unlearning the language of whiteness, a narrative that centers white people, particularly white men, no matter the deadly cost and consequence to all women and to global Black and Brown people. That's why a new racial healing language is crucial. 
     
     
     
    Emotional Justice grapples with how a legacy of untreated trauma from oppressive systems has created and sustained dual deadly fictions: white superiority and Black inferiority that shape—and wound—all of us. These systems must be dismantled to build a future that serves justice to everyone, not just some of us.

    Why is it that our highly-interconnected and globalized world seems more chaotic and dangerous than ever? Have you ever wondered why the world seems to lurch from seemingly unconnected crisis to crisis? From the pandemic to climate change and net-zero policies? From food shortages to high inflation and collapsing markets? But are they really unconnected? This book explores the reality suggesting that, in fact, none of what is happening across the globe is happening by chance. 
    Right under humanity’s nose, supranational organizations such as the United Nations, the Club of Rome and Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum strive to usurp national sovereignties in the quest for a dystopian future, with the threat of transhumanism, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, central bank digital currencies, universal basic income and digital IDs looming ever closer. 
    This book compiles hundreds of pieces of evidence to expose the dystopian goals of a global control matrix lying in the shadows. By reading this book, you become part of humanity’s fight back against the new world order being forced on the globe. We must fight for our freedoms and for those of generations to come. 
    Humanity can, and will, win.
