  It never seems to stop; every few months, news of a school shooting causes an increasing number of people to become fearful and frustrated over our inability to prevent these incidents. This is where 'The Psychology of School Shooters: Unraveling the Minds of Those Who Would Do the Unthinkable' steps in. 
  With an examination of infamous school shootings in recent decades, within the United States and beyond, this book dives into the root of the issue by unraveling the complex factors that culminate in an individual deciding to commit a school shooting. By understanding these complex factors, we take a crucial step towards effective prevention. 
  Amongst the factors that will be explored include the varying motives behind school shootings, and the catalyst caused by the Columbine High School Shooting that led to subsequent school shootings such as the Red Lake Senior High School Shooting, the Parkland High School shooting, and the Robb Elementary School shooting, and unfortunately many others. 
  Each chapter accompanies readers through the specifics of each school shooting case, meticulously retracing the steps leading up to the tragic events, capturing the moments as they unfolded, and navigating the aftermath that rippled through affected communities. By reading this book, you will have a thorough understanding of school shooters’ psychology and what goes on in their minds to do the unthinkable.

  Medieval Japan - Samurai and...

  The rise of feudal Japan marked a significant turning point in the nation's political and social history. Beginning in the late 8th to early 9th centuries, the centralized power of the imperial court in Kyoto began to wane. As emperors became more ceremonial figures, real power shifted into the hands of powerful landowning families and military clans in the provinces. These regional lords, or daimyo, started to assert control over their own territories, gradually weakening the authority of the imperial government. 
  This period of decentralization gave birth to a new system where local warlords governed through a network of vassals and military retainers. In return for loyalty and service, these retainers were granted land or a share in the profits from agricultural production. This land-based reward system laid the foundation for the feudal structure that would define medieval Japan for centuries to come. Unlike in Europe, where feudalism was based on strict legal contracts, Japan’s version emphasized personal loyalty and honor, often backed by military strength. 
  The emergence of powerful clans such as the Minamoto and Taira further accelerated the move toward feudal governance. Their rivalry culminated in the Genpei War (1180–1185), a brutal conflict that ultimately led to the downfall of the Taira clan and the rise of the Minamoto. In 1192, Minamoto no Yoritomo was appointed Seii Taishogun, or Shogun, by the emperor, establishing the first shogunate in Kamakura. This event marked the formal beginning of military rule in Japan and the creation of a dual-government system, where the emperor remained as a symbolic figure while the shogun held actual power.

  Being Cosmopolitan - A Political...

  What does it mean to be cosmopolitan? Typically, cosmopolitanism is understood as a broad moral orientation, involving some kind of commitment to global moral equality. On this understanding, to be cosmopolitan is simply to evidence that moral orientation oneself. By contrast, Being Cosmopolitan takes up a thoroughly political approach. The focus is on what it might mean, and what it is like, to be political in a distinctly cosmopolitan form. What it means to be cosmopolitan in this thoroughly political sense cannot involve appeal to any particular moral orientation, because politics is about, inter alia, the contestation of such orientations and commitments. Instead, this book offers an account that is based upon the internalization of particular kind of global "social imaginary," involving the imagination of a global public to which certain issues—or global public affairs—are understood to pertain. 
   
   
   
  Within which kind of global order is it possible, or comfortable, for a cosmopolitical agent to live? In answer to this question, the book argues against the viability of both a world of self-determining peoples, and of "pluralist" global visions—both of which are popular with moral cosmopolitan theorists.
