Sinopsis

Edmund Burke's 'Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents' is a seminal political treatise that delves into the underlying causes of political unrest in society. Published in 1770, Burke's work showcases his eloquent and persuasive writing style, making profound arguments against the abuses of power and advocating for the maintenance of traditional institutions. This book is a prime example of Burke's literary prowess and his profound insights into the workings of government and society during the tumultuous times of the late 18th century. Through well-reasoned analysis and eloquent prose, Burke presents a compelling case for addressing the grievances of the people and promoting stability in government. His work continues to influence political thought and theory to this day. Edmund Burke, a prominent Irish statesman and philosopher, was a key figure in the development of conservatism. His experiences in politics and his deep moral convictions led him to write 'Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents' as a call for reform and a critique of the abuses of power within the British government. Burke's belief in the importance of upholding traditional institutions and his defense of the rights of the common people are reflected in this timeless work. I recommend 'Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents' to readers interested in political philosophy, history, and the development of conservative thought. Burke's insights are as relevant today as they were in his time, making this book a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of political theory and societal unrest.

    This is a 2-book combo, which has the following titles: 
      
      
    Book 1: What is dopamine? And how does it work?  
      
    Dopamine has been the topic of many debates and discussions among neuroscientists, clinicians, and analysts. It has been controversial and fascinating at the same time. Dopamine seems to give us motivation to succeed, to exercise, to seek rewards, to survive, and to procreate. It rewards us when we follow our instincts and can be the source of addictive behavior. People with ADHD have special challenges regarding dopamine fluctuation and appear to frequently suffer from a deficiency or overdose. Thus, regulating such dopamine levels is crucial to one’s satisfaction and happiness in life. 
      
      
      
      
    Book 2: Dopamine makes us human. It has been proven over and over again that it manifests itself differently in animals. It has been researched and been found identical to human traits and our motivation to do anything in life, our creativity, and our problem-solving skills. 
      
    Dopamine is also a drug, a neurotransmitter our brains release and cause us to become dependent on substances, porn, attention, entertainment, or other pleasurable things in life. 
      
    In this guide, we will go over some of the great opportunities and dangers of dopamine. We will discuss the difference between the left and right brain, and the most common differences between dopamine in the female and male brain. Last but not least, we will share some thoughts about achieving goals and its relationship to dopamine triggers. 
      
    All of these topics can give you greater insight in your own psyche as well as others. Please take a look inside or listen to the audio version of the book.

    Both Grant and Sherman shared the same theory of war: anything that might help the enemy's war effort should be considered a military target. After the Atlanta campaign, Grant explained to Sherman that the Confederates must be “demoralized and left without hope,” and he instructed Sherman, “Take all provisions, forage and stock wanted for the use of your command. Such as cannot be consumed, destroy. Leave the valley so barren that crows flying over it...will have to carry their provender with them.” This strategy sought the total economic collapse of the South, as well as completely disabling the South’s capability of fielding armies. In addition to the wholesale plundering of Southern resources, including taking them from civilians, the Union reversed its policy of swapping prisoners, realizing it had a far bigger reserve of manpower than the South. The Atlanta Campaign was a perfect example of this, as both sides lost about the same number of casualties. By September 1864, however, Sherman still had about 80,000 men, while Hood’s army was reduced to about 30,000. 
    Following the design of Grant's innovative and successful Vicksburg Campaign, Sherman's armies eliminated their need for traditional supply lines by living off the land. 	Ultimately, Sherman’s armies cut a path of abject destruction 60 miles wide and 300 hundred miles long from Atlanta to Savannah, which some likened to a Biblical blight. And as Sherman had intended, he did indeed made Georgia “howl.”  
    Due in large part to the March to the Sea, Sherman remains controversial across much of the United States today. The South considered him akin to a terrorist and adamantly insisted that he was violating the norms of warfare by targeting civilians. In many ways, Sherman is still the scourge of the South nearly 160 years after he vowed to make Georgia howl.

    This is a 3-book bundle, which addresses various subtopics, including but not limited to these: 
      
      
    Book 1: When it comes to Borderline Personality Disorder, many people are left in the dark. They still have questions about what it is, what makes it so attractive to start a relationship with a borderliner, or how it differs in men and women. 
      
    This guide will not leave you in the dark, however; it will talk about these topics and so much more, such as society’s changing view of the disorder, the ages of a borderliner, how they change identities and how medical diagnoses can vary, and the disorder across different races and the two genders. 
      
      
      
    Book 2: What causes someone to have Borderline Personality Disorder? Well, the opinions vary, and each person’s life is different, but to point you in the right direction, we’ll discuss some patterns and common life events and traumas that can contribute to it. 
      
    Aside from this, we’ll discuss the big question that has often been thrown out there: Is the disorder mostly a feminine disorder or does it happen to men as well? The differences between Borderline and Bipolar Disorder will be indicated also, since many people are confused about those differences. 
      
      
    Book 3: In this guide, the first thing we’ll point out is how difficult it is to go through life with a mother or father who has Borderline Personality Disorder. We’ll do this by giving multiple examples and discussing them. 
      
    Second, we’ll touch on anticipatory anxiety and social problems that people with the disorder may have, and the question of whether to openly talk about the disorder with the patients.

    The air war over Europe during World War II proved that combat in the sky can be even more devastating than combat on the ground. When the war ended, every major city in Germany was virtually destroyed. A German writer admitted that his own nation, in taking up the sword to conquer the world, had "summoned up those bands of furies which raced across the German skies."
