Beschreibung

In "The History of England: From Elizabeth to James I," David Hume delivers a meticulous account of English history during a pivotal period marked by the contrast between the reigns of Queen Elizabeth I and King James I. Hume'Äôs prose is characterized by a blend of narrative vigor and philosophical reflection, providing a rich context that connects political events with societal changes. The work captivates readers with its critical examination of the interplay between monarchy and Parliament, as well as the complexities of religious tensions, encapsulating the turbulent shift from the Tudor to the Stuart monarchy in a richly detailed historical tapestry. David Hume (1711-1776), a prominent Scottish philosopher and historian, brought to this historical narrative his deep understanding of human nature and skepticism toward received wisdom. His philosophical background influenced his historiography, prompting him to analyze historical events not merely as a series of facts but as a reflection of underlying human motivations and societal circumstances. Hume's approach diverges from traditional historical narratives by emphasizing a systematic inquiry into the moral implications of historical episodes, thus offering a profound exploration of the period's ethos. This work is highly recommended for scholars, students, and history enthusiasts alike, as it provides not only a thorough examination of a significant era in English history but also a rich philosophical engagement with the nature of governance and human behavior. Hume'Äôs keen insights and narrative finesse make this book a vital resource for understanding the forces that shaped modern Britain.

    The progress of the human race has been haphazard and inefficient with too much left to chance. We have been wasteful with our time, resources, and human effort. We have suffered unnecessarily with pointless wars and with billions still in poverty today. And now, our very existence is threatened by multiple Global Catastrophic Risks – from climate change and nuclear war, to AI and pandemics. But the global ‘order’ of today shows no chance of being able to solve and effectively coordinate the global responses so critically required to ensure the future of humanity. This is not good enough. It is far too soon for us to end. Our future, our potential as a species – we must protect and realise it. 
    This book explores what the human race could achieve with true global cooperation. 
    In this book are the Blueprints for the New World – with the global systems and institutions of the world re-engineered and re-designed to solve the global problems of today. To create the most prosperous Future of the Human Race. It explores the benefits of achieving global demilitarisation, a true global economy centred around Value creation and not consumerism, a new global currency and global language. The ability to effectively respond to global emergencies and threats, accelerating scientific progress through restructuring academia, global infrastructure projects such as a global electricity grid. True global justice crippling evil across the entire world. Reforming the global education system. Long term planning for the benefit of the entire human race. A global space agency to establish our foothold in space as fast as possible. And more. 
    No more should humanity blindly stumble forward into the future. It is time we finally took a firm hold of and controlled the destiny of the human race.

    The decline of the Roman Empire is one of the most studied events in world history, with numerous scholars and historians seeking to explain the causes and contributing factors that led to its fall. It is a complex process that unfolded over centuries, involving a combination of internal weaknesses and external pressures. Although the empire had been a dominant force for centuries, by the 5th century AD, it was struggling to maintain its territorial integrity and power. Several key elements contributed to this gradual decline. 
    One of the primary causes of the empire's decline was economic instability. Over time, the Roman economy became strained under the weight of military expansion, government spending, and inefficient management. Inflation began to plague the empire as the government devalued its currency to finance its military campaigns and public works. Additionally, the empire faced a growing reliance on slave labor, which hindered innovation and economic development. As the economy weakened, the cost of maintaining the empire’s vast infrastructure and military forces became increasingly difficult to manage, leading to a cycle of financial crises. 
    Political corruption and instability were also central to the empire's decline. Throughout its later years, the Roman government became riddled with corruption, particularly within the ruling elite. Emperors were often chosen based on their ability to maintain power rather than their administrative abilities, leading to a lack of effective leadership. The Senate, once a powerful institution, lost its influence, and political factions within the empire vied for control, often undermining efforts to address the empire’s growing problems. This fragmentation of political power weakened the central authority, making it difficult to implement coherent policies across the empire.

    There is important work to be done and we do not have forever on this earth, so we should do good when we can where we are with what we have, knowing improvement will take time and we will face challenges. 
    Important work: children need to be raised, people need to be loved and educated, homes need to be built, code needs to be written, songs need to be sung, clean water needs to be provided, scripts need to be produced, difficult conversations need to be had, systems need to be fixed. 
    The Enduring Urgency strategy can be used to improve our families and our communities, but it starts in the mind of each person. It is about holding a decade and a day at the same time; seeing who and where you want to be a decade from now and doing everything you can each day to become that person. Enduring Urgency is a strategy used by effective humans throughout history. For ease, David uses the following formula: 
    Enduring Urgency = Resilience + Patience + Consistent Focused Action 
    In this book, David shares stories and provides tools to help you build resilience, develop patience, and take consistent focused action in support of those important people and goals you have. The resilience is for the adversity you have, are, or will face. The patience is for your process and the time required to improve. The consistent focused action is for the compounding effect, the consequences of what happens when we act consistently over time.

    Social justice work, we often assume, is raised voices and raised fists. But what does it look like for those of us who don't feel comfortable battling in the trenches? Sustaining justice work can be particularly challenging for the sensitive, and it requires a deep level of self-awareness. 
     
     
     
    In Social Justice for the Sensitive Soul, writer Dorcas Cheng-Tozun offers six possible pathways for sensitive types: Connectors: relational activists whose interactions and conversations build the social capital necessary for change; Creatives: artists and creators whose work inspires, sheds light, makes connections, and brings issues into the public consciousness; Record Keepers: archivists who preserve essential information and hold our collective memory and history; Builders: inventors, programmers, and engineers who center empathy as they develop society-changing products and technologies; Equippers: educators, mentors, and elders who build skills and knowledge within movements and shepherd the next generation of changemakers; and Researchers: data-driven individuals who utilize information as a persuasive tool to effect change and propose options for improvement. 
     
     
     
    Cheng-Tozun expands the possibilities of how to have a positive social impact, affirming the particular gifts and talents that sensitive souls offer to a hurting world.
