  A unique analysis of the numbers that came to define Chinese politics and how this quantification evolved over time. 
   
   
   
  For decades, a few numbers came to define Chinese politics—until those numbers did not count what mattered and what they counted did not measure up. Seeking Truth and Hiding Facts argues that the Chinese government adopted a system of limited, quantified vision in order to survive the disasters unleashed by Mao Zedong's ideological leadership. Jeremy Wallace explains how that system worked and analyzes how the problems that accumulated in its blind spots led Xi Jinping to take drastic action. Xi's neopolitical turn—aggressive anti-corruption campaigns, reassertion of party authority, and personalization of power—is an attempt fix the problems of the prior system, as well as a hedge against an inability to do so. The book argues that while of course dictators stay in power through coercion and cooptation, they also do so by convincing their populations and themselves of their right to rule. Quantification is one tool in this persuasive arsenal, but it comes with its own perils.

  The bitter Battle of Stalingrad on the Eastern Front was the turning point of World War II. The relentless and unstoppable German advances that had seen the panzers sweep hundreds of miles into Russia was finally brought to a halt. The elite German Sixth Army was first fought to a standstill, then surrounded and forced to surrender. 
   
  Over one and a half million people lost their lives during the six months of fighting, many of them civilians caught up in the campaign. For the first time in the war, the German army had been defeated on the field of battle. Before Stalingrad the Russians never won; after Stalingrad they could not lose. 
   
  This book looks at the titanic struggle that ended in the total destruction of the second city of the Soviet Union, the greatest battle the world has ever seen.

  Dive into the depths of the mind with "The Human Psychology Bible," a comprehensive two-part series that seeks to unravel the intricate tapestry of human behavior and thought. Authored by the insightful Alan G. Fields, this definitive compilation, featuring "Human Psychology 101" and its advanced counterpart "Human Psychology 202," offers a profound look into what propels our actions, shapes our personalities, and defines our interactions. 
  "The Human Psychology Bible" is not just another academic text; it's an engaging journey into understanding the gray complexities that govern our everyday lives. Alan G. Fields draws upon extensive research, real-life anecdotes, and relatable stories, breaking down the seven core aspects of human psychology: emotions, personality, decision-making, morality, perception, behavior, and relationships. 
  In "Human Psychology 101," Fields lays the foundation, mapping the landscapes of the mind with a vibrant introduction to psychological principles. It's a guide designed to elucidate the mechanics of the mind, offering a window into why people behave the way they do — a sort of psychological sleight of hand that transforms the mystifying into the comprehensible. 
  Advancing to "Human Psychology 202," the exploration deepens. Fields skillfully addresses the complexities of human thought processes, unmasking the often irrational patterns that can lead to negativity and self-sabotage. This section delves into the power of thought and its profound impact on our actions, encouraging readers to break free from the chains of limited thinking and embrace the full spectrum of mental possibilities.
