Sinopsis

The Ultimate Book Club: 180 Books You Should Read (Vol.1) beautifully captures the essence of diversity in thought, style, and expression, spanning centuries and continents. This anthology brings together an eclectic mix of pivotal works that have shaped the literary landscape, orchestrated to illuminate the human condition and the relentless quest for understanding and interpretation. From the existential inquiries of Dostoevsky and Kafka to the nuanced social critiques of Austen and Eliot, and the lush naturalism of Hardy and Lawrence, each selection promises a unique stylistic approach to perennial themes such as love, morality, society, and self-discovery. The contributing authors and thinkers, ranging from poets to philosophers, share a collective repute for not only mastery in their specific domains but also their ability to transcend time and geographical boundaries with universally resonant themes. This volume does not merely represent a sum of significant literary works; it strives to bridge diverse voices of the Enlightenment, Romanticism, the Victorian era, and Modernism—offering a panoramic view of the intellectual fervor of each period. Scholars and enthusiasts can traverse from the dramatic flair of Shakespeare to the poignant pensiveness of Woolf, enriching one's literary palate. The Ultimate Book Club is an indispensable resource for avid readers, students of literature, and anyone delving into the expansive world of classical and modern literary giants. It promises not just a reading experience but an educational journey through the landscapes of varied human contexts and how they are mirrored in literary expressions.

    Science and Politics

    The recent coronavirus pandemic proved that the time-old notion seems now truer than ever: that science and politics represent a clash of cultures. But why should scientists simply "stick to the facts" and leave politics to the politicians when the world seems to be falling down around us? 
     
     
     
    Drawing on his experience as both a research scientist and an expert advisor at the center of government, Ian Boyd takes an empirical approach to examining the current state of the relationship between science and politics. He argues that the way politicians and scientists work together today results in a science that is on tap for ideological (mis)use, and governance that fails to serve humanity's most fundamental needs. Justice is unlikely—perhaps impossible—while science is not a fully integrated part of the systems for collective decision-making across society. 
     
     
     
    In Science and Politics, Boyd presents an impassioned argument for a series of conceptual and structural innovations that could resolve this fundamental tension, revealing how a radical intermingling of these (apparently contradictory) professions might provide the world with better politics and better science.

    “First-class . . . more than the biography of a great aviator and military leader. It also is a detailed and lively history of naval aviation.” —The New York Times Air Adm. Marc Mitscher is a legend in military circles for developing an entirely new concept of war at sea. His skills as both a carrier tactician and genius for leading men rank him with the best World War II combat commanders. However, because Mitscher shunned publicity and destroyed his private papers shortly before his death in 1947, his accomplishments are not widely known. In this outstanding biography, Theodore Taylor traces the aviator’s brilliant career from its beginnings and makes clear the major role played by the admiral in developing the Navy’s air program, providing a lively and detailed history of the progress of naval aviation. “The likable personality and day by day achievements of Mitscher shine through to lift this above the run of the mill military biography.” —Kirkus Reviews

    The Battle for Isurava -...

    ‘You are trying to survive, shirt torn, arse out of your pants, whiskers a mile long, hungry … you carry your boots because there’s no skin on your feet. But when you look around at some of the others – hell! They look crook! … you dig a number of holes in the ground and bury your dead. Nothing would be said, but you think ‘maybe it will be my turn next’. 
    Within 24 hours of the Japanese invasion of northern New Guinea at Gona in July 1942, the Australian militiamen of ‘B’ Company, 39th Battalion, spent four weeks fighting a delaying action against a crack Japanese force outnumbered by three to one. By mid-August, the rest of the battalion had arrived, and these men took up a position at Isurava, in the heart of the cloud covered mountains and jungles of the Owen Stanley Range.  
    The battle for Isurava would be the defining battle of the Kokoda Campaign and has rightfully been described as Australia’s Thermopylae. It was here that Australia’s first Victoria Cross in the Pacific war was awarded when the Japanese conducted several ferocious attacks against the Australian perimetre.  
    The outnumbered and poorly equipped Australians managed to hold back the Japanese advance for almost a week; only then did these battle scared and weary men begin a month long fighting withdraw towards Ioribaiwa Ridge just north of Port Morsby. However, their sacrifice provided time for the Australian 25th Brigade to be brought forward — finally forcing the Japanese to withdrawal just as they glimpsed the lights of Port Morseby.  
    Using diaries, letters and other first-hand accounts and following on from The Battles for Kokoda Plateau, leading military historian David W Cameron continues his detailed and riveting account of the war in the Owen Stanleys in 1942.
