Sinopse

In 'A Code for the Government of Armies in the Field,' the United States War Department, under the guidance of Francis Lieber, offers a seminal collection that brings together pivotal legal and ethical guidelines for military conduct during wartime. This anthology serves not only as a historical artifact but also as a reflection on the evolving perspectives on warfare and the moral considerations it entails. The work stands out for its pioneering approach to codifying wartime conduct, addressing themes of humanity, justice, and the rights of individuals and communities in conflict zones. The diversity within its pages showcases a range of legislative styles and philosophical insights, marking a significant moment in the intersection of law, military ethics, and international relations. The contributors, spearheaded by Francis Lieber, bring a rich assortment of backgrounds in law, military strategy, and ethics. Liebers role as a legal scholar and his contributions to the codification of laws of war serve as the foundation for this collection, reflecting broader 19th-century debates about morality, statecraft, and the conduct of war. This anthology emerges from and contributes to a crucial period of transformation in how societies conceive of military ethics, human rights, and international law, embodying a critical moment of convergence between historical practices and modern legal standards. 'A Code for the Government of Armies in the Field' is a must-read for scholars, legal practitioners, and anyone interested in the ethical considerations of warfare and the historical underpinnings of modern international law. This anthology offers an unparalleled opportunity to engage with foundational texts that continue to influence contemporary discourse on military conduct and legal ethics. By exploring the diverse insights and rigorous analyses presented by Lieber and the United States War Department, readers will gain a nuanced understanding of the complexities surrounding wartime ethics, the evolution of international humanitarian law, and the enduring quest for justice in the context of armed conflict. This collection is an invaluable resource for navigating the intersection of history, law, and morality, inviting a profound contemplation on the legacy and lessons of wartime governance.

    Music can play an important part in our lives yet how many of us appreciate the effect it has on our brains, bodies and moods, or understand how we can use music as a medicine? Music has the power to reduce everyday symptoms, such as stress, insomnia, pain, depression, and even snoring, as well as helping challenges found in neurological conditions such as freezing and gait problems, and difficulties with voice and swallowing. With modern advances in technology, scientists are now able to measure the precise effect of music on body and brain. Music as Medicine presents many research studies which have examined the effect of music on various conditions, and offers clear suggestions as to how readers can use music to reduce various symptoms, whether a person thinks themselves musical or not. It covers three aspects of musical involvement: listening to music, moving to music and making music. Daphne Bryan, PhD, takes a special look at the benefits of music for neurological conditions, Parkinson's in particular. Music stimulates many areas of the brain and in the case of damaged brains, it can activate alternative pathways to act in the place of damaged ones. Many of the symptoms discussed are also experienced by people with other diagnoses and by those who are otherwise fit and healthy so this book contains much that is relevant to all.

    Fair Play - The Moral Dilemmas...

    Revolutionary War officer Nathan Hale, one of America's first spies, said, "Any kind of service necessary to the public good becomes honorable by being necessary." A statue of Hale stands outside CIA headquarters, and the agency often cites his statement as one of its guiding principles. But who decides what is necessary for the public good, and is it really true that any kind of service is permissible for the public good? 
    These questions are at the heart of James M. Olson's book, Fair Play: The Moral Dilemmas of Spying. Olson, a veteran of the CIA's clandestine service, takes listeners inside the real world of intelligence to describe the difficult dilemmas that field officers face on an almost daily basis. Far from being a dry theoretical treatise, this fascinating book uses actual intelligence operations to illustrate how murky their moral choices can be. Listeners will be surprised to learn that the CIA provides very little guidance on what is, or is not, permissible. Rather than empowering field officers, the author has found that this lack of guidelines actually hampers operations. Olson believes that U.S. intelligence officers need clearer moral guidelines to make correct, quick decisions.

    Summary, Analysis & Review of Ryan Holiday's and Stephen Hanselman's The Daily Stoic by Instaread Preview: The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman is an introduction to the practical application of Stoic philosophy in the format of a daily devotional. Often derided as discouraging emotion, Stoicism is a philosophy that encourages discipline, fortitude, and control of perceptions. The greatest possession of a Stoic is reasoned choice, which cannot be taken away. There are three disciplines in the practice of Stoicism. Perception is the first discipline; it focuses on the need for accurate and unbiased observation of the world. This requires clarity of thought free from external influences or extreme emotions. This internal peace is reflected in the Stoic's externally calm demeanor. A Stoic must be self-aware and have an unbiased perception of himself or herself. Action is the second discipline of Stoicism. Stoics act in the best interest of the self and others according to their values and the character they want to cultivate… PLEASE NOTE: This is a Summary, Analysis & Review of the book and NOT the original book.

    The former Stanford University sailing coach sentenced in the Varsity Blues college admissions scandal tells the riveting true story of how he was drawn unwittingly into a web of deceit in this eye-opening memoir that offers a damning portrait of modern college administration and the ways in which justice and fairness do not always intersect.  
     For eleven years, John Vandemoer ran the prestigious Stanford University sailing program in which he coached Olympians and All-Americans. Though the hours were long and the program struggled for funding, sailing gave Vandemoer’s life shape and meaning.  
    But early one morning, everything came crashing down when Vandemoer, still in his pajamas, opened the door to find FBI and IRS agents on his doorstep. He quickly learned that a recruiter named Rick Singer had used him as a stooge in a sophisticated scheme designed to take advantage of college coaches and play to the endless appetite for university fundraising—and wealthy parents looking for an edge for their college-bound children.  
    Vandemoer was summarily fired, kicked out of campus housing, his children booted from campus daycare. The next year of his life was a Kafkaesque hellscape, and though he was an innocent man who never received a dime was the first person to be convicted in what became known as the Varsity Blues scandal.  
    A true story that reads like a suspense novel, Rigged Justice lays bare how a sophisticated scheme could take advantage of college coaches and university money—and how one family became collateral damage in a large government investigation that dominated national headlines.
