Summary

"Minor Revolutions" explores the subtle yet profound transformations often overshadowed by major historical events. It argues that significant political and social change arises from gradual adjustments in bureaucratic systems, technological advancements, and shifts in social norms. The book challenges conventional narratives by focusing on these less conspicuous changes, demonstrating how they collectively reshape political landscapes and societal structures.

 
The book examines the evolution of governance in pre-modern states, the impact of technology on political power, and the shifts in social norms that led to political change. For instance, the spread of printing technology in the 18th and 19th centuries played a crucial role in political mobilization, subtly shifting public discourse.

 
It is structured into three sections, first introducing the concept, then examining case studies, and finally synthesizing findings to demonstrate how seemingly isolated changes collectively reshape political landscapes. By analyzing archival documents, government records, and quantitative data, "Minor Revolutions" reveals the importance of incremental changes and collective action. It introduces the concept of "compound change" to describe how minor revolutions build upon each other over time, leading to significant historical outcomes.

 
This approach offers a fresh perspective on familiar historical events, making it valuable for students, scholars, and general readers interested in understanding the dynamics of societal transformation.

After the War he changes his name and builds up a new career, starting a family, first in the States, later in Britain. While his friends and family have no idea of his activities during the War, his daughter Nora and his grandson Andrew, being interested in recent history, begin to suspect their (grand-) father’s dark secret.How far does moral responsibility go?

    A guide to your spiritual journey of transformation using the Enneagram.   “The Enneagram of the Soul invites us on a journey of profound self-discovery.” —from the foreword by Russ Hudson, bestselling coauthor of The Wisdom of the Enneagram  The Enneagram of the Soul is inspired by over two decades of inner and outer work with the Enneagram by leading expert Nhien Vuong. Nhien provides a path to wholeness for the self, enabling the reader to be steered gently yet firmly away from the trap of solely identifying with their personality type, so they can live more fully from their divine nature.   This book is divided into two parts. Part 1 shares nine Enneagram-informed principles that guide one’s journey of transformation using the Enneagram, nine contemplative practices to propel and support the transformational process, and nine prayers to lend heart to the journey. Part 2 offers forty activations, which consist of very brief questions, reminders, or practices on forty different themes customized for each of the nine Enneagram personality types. When we begin to access the wholeness of all nine Enneagram energies working in concert, we experience a greater sense of inner peace, purpose, and fulfillment.   “An important and uniquely useful contribution to the Enneagram literature in that she provides a pathway for the types, built around practices and principles.” —Beatrice Chestnut, author of The Enneagram Guide to Waking Up

    Mum 媽 is my first audiobook on my poetry written over a period of 10 years. Most of them are expressions of my life experiences and my deepest emotions. Writing poetry is one of my best self-help techniques. It helps to take away anxiety, stress, and sadness and it also expresses my happiness.
