Summary

Wacky Political Moments explores history's most bizarre political episodes, revealing how seemingly minor missteps can trigger major consequences. It's not just about funny stories; it’s an examination of the fragility of power and the chaos that can lie beneath political order. For instance, a speech about turnips once nearly caused a constitutional crisis, highlighting how easily things can go awry. The book uses these political absurdities as a lens to understand critical moments often overlooked.

 
This book delves into the psychology behind political decision-making, especially during times of stress. It examines how leaders react to the unexpected and what cognitive biases influence their choices, providing insights into decisions that seem irrational in hindsight.

 
Beginning with a definition of "wacky" in politics, the book moves through history, focusing on rhetorical gaffes, unusual leadership decisions, and international incidents caused by miscommunication. By studying these moments, readers gain a deeper understanding of power dynamics and the impact of human error on political stability.

    The inspiring story of a feisty pioneering woman who sought freedom and adventure in the outback and became the first woman to work as an opal miner in Australia. 
 
People always asked her if she was ever afraid, living out in the desert alone with all those rough and scruffy men. But Minnie Berrington was not the faint-hearted type, and never had been. Being tough came naturally to her, growing up with three brothers and a family that went from riches to ruins. 
 
Only a slip of a girl, Minnie could match any man in stamina, perseverance and strength. She arrived in Coober Pedy when camels still brought in essential supplies, and water was so scarce that no-one washed. Together with the other miners, she braved the heat, the flies and the dust. Every day she waited for that special sound the pick made when it cracked opal. 
 
The first woman to dig her own shafts in the Australian opal fields, Minnie began her working life as a typist in London. But she and her younger brother, Victor, sought freedom and adventure in the 1920s and found plenty of it in the outback.

    At an age when most are aiming for retirement, Bob Higgins moved to Uganda with his wife Carol. Over the course of fourteen years, they trained church leaders with the International School of Ministry video curriculum, provided clean water to rural communities, and ran a mobile clinic while establishing a home for children orphaned by rebel warfare in Northern Uganda. Initially resistant to the idea of taking on the continual care of so many orphans, their Otino Waa Children's Village soon became home to hundreds of children. Bob's retelling of the origins of PATH Ministries shows that God can do extraordinary things through faithful service in difficult places.

    What is commonly called the kingdom of Pontos flourished for over two hundred years in the coastal regions of the Black Sea. At its peak in the early first century BC, it included much of the southern, eastern, and northern littoral, becoming one of the most important Hellenistic dynasties not founded by a successor of Alexander the Great. It also posed one of the greatest challenges to Roman imperial expansion in the east. Not until 63 BC, after many violent clashes, was Rome able to subjugate the kingdom and its last charismatic ruler Mithridates VI. 
 
 
 
This book provides the first general history of this important kingdom from its mythic origins in Greek literature to its entanglements with the late Roman Republic. Duane Roller presents its rulers and their complex relationships with the powers of the eastern Mediterranean and Near East, most notably Rome. He includes detailed discussions of Pontos' cultural achievements—a blend of Greek and Persian influences—as well as its political and military successes, especially under Mithridates VI, who proved to be as formidable a foe to Rome as Hannibal. Previous histories of Pontos have focused almost exclusively on the career of its last ruler. Setting that famous reign in its wide historical context, Empire of the Black Sea is an engaging and definitive account of a powerful yet little-known ancient dynasty.
