  Woman’s Equality - The Capacity...

  The decision to write this book was driven by a dual compulsion that compelled me in two directions. The process of the work I worked through to create an environment in which women were being held to ransom made me realize that I needed to examine what was wrong with women in our society and what we were doing wrong to create what everyone was doing right. Initially, I wished to analyze both sexes' psychology from an empathetic interpretation and from a psychological perspective. This experience helped me gain a deeper understanding of the roots of the problems facing women today. Additionally, I have gained a better understanding of the role men can play in certain situations when dealing with these issues by providing them with support and mediation. 
  I believe that men and women are inextricably linked and forever entangled in a tussle, and neither one can survive alone without the other. During the first human settlements, the purpose of this book was to examine the role played by women in the early history of human settlements. It was to explain how they were portrayed during that time and to explore how they were deprived of the right to equal rights. This is why I have highlighted the importance of women, their emotional strength, their role in society, and how they make a valuable contribution to society at large. For these reasons, I have stressed the importance of women in society. Women make a significant contribution to our environment. If we refuse to acknowledge that contribution in ourselves, we will not be able to witness the progress we demand in our society at the pace we desire.

  The Eastern Han Dynasty: A History of China, PART TWO takes you on a thrilling ride through one of China's most dramatic and chaotic eras. This book pulls you right into the palace, where figures like Empress Dou plot and scheme to secure power, even using poison and false charges to remove rivals. You'll watch the rise and fall of powerful families like the Dous and the Liang clan, who used their ties to the throne to control the empire — but always at a heavy cost. 
  You'll follow brave officials like Yuan An, Yue Hui, and Cai Yong, who risked everything to speak the truth and challenge corruption. These weren't dry, stiff scholars — they were real people caught in a deadly game of politics, facing off against terrifying figures like Liang Ji and the infamous Ten Regular Attendants, the emperor's most corrupt and dangerous eunuchs. 
  This book doesn't just tell you about emperors and generals; it shines a light on the students, rebels, and farmers, too. You'll see how the National Academy students stood up to the powerful, how the Yellow Turban Rebellion shook the empire, and how even everyday folk got tangled in the madness, whether they were sucked into fake "filial" shows or forced to pay crushing taxes to fund the emperor's endless luxuries. 
  You'll walk through lavish palace gardens, secret court meetings, bloody battlefields, and fake street markets set up inside the palace for the emperor's entertainment. From wild feasts to puppet rulers, from political assassinations to daring military campaigns, the Eastern Han was packed with stories that read like the best kind of historical drama — because they were real.

  The first full-length treatment of Ed Broadbent’s ideas and remarkable seven-decade engagement in public life
  		 
  Part memoir, part history, part political manifesto, Seeking Social Democracy offers the first full-length treatment of Ed Broadbent’s ideas and remarkable seven-decade engagement in public life. In dialogue with three collaborators from different generations, Broadbent leads readers through a life spent fighting for equality in Parliament and beyond: exploring the formation of his social democratic ideals, his engagement on the international stage, and his relationships with historical figures from Pierre Trudeau and Fidel Castro to Tommy Douglas, René Lévesque, and Willy Brandt. From the formative minority Parliament of 1972–1974 to the contentious national debate over Canada’s constitution to the free trade election of 1988, the book chronicles the life and thought of one of Canada’s most respected political leaders and public intellectuals from his childhood in 1930s Oshawa to the present day. Broadbent’s analysis also points toward the future, offering lessons to a new generation on how principles can inform action and social democracy can look beyond neoliberalism. The result is an engaging, timely, and sweeping analysis of Canadian politics, philosophy, and the nature of democratic leadership.

  Does learning require thinking, or only awareness? - To be aware is to be conscious, to be in relationship with what you observeoutwardly and also our inward reactions. - Awareness reveals that I have a conclusion from which I act, which prevents thefree flow of energy. - You see that you have many opinions and conclusions. - You don't know whyyou have them or how to be free of them. Start with not knowing. - Knowledge is in the past whilst learning is vital, in the present. - In learning, which is a constant movement, can opinion and conclusion ever beformed? - Can thought be slowed down naturally? In learning about the function ofthought, slowing down takes place without control or effort. -Can the mind empty itself without effort? -Do LSD and other drugs slow down the mind?
