  Legacy of Empire - Britain...

  It is now more than seventy years since the creation of the state of Israel, yet its origins and the British Empire's historic responsibility for Palestine remain little known. Confusion persists too as to the distinction between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. In Legacy of Empire, Gardner Thompson offers a clear-eyed review of political Zionism and Britain's role in shaping the history of Palestine and Israel. Thompson explores why the British government adopted Zionism in the early twentieth century, issuing the Balfour Declaration in 1917 and then retaining it as the cornerstone of their rule in Palestine after the First World War. Despite evidence and warnings, over the next two decades Britain would facilitate the colonisation of Arab Palestine by Jewish immigrants, ultimately leading to a conflict which it could not contain. Britain's response was to propose the partition of an ungovernable land: a 'two-state solution' which - though endorsed by the United Nations after the Second World War - has so far brought into being neither two states nor a solution. A highly readable and compelling account of Britain's rule in Palestine, Legacy of Empire is essential for those wishing to better understand the roots of this enduring conflict.

  Imperial Japan - Expansion World...

  The rise of Imperial Japan is a remarkable story of transformation and ambition. It was a journey from isolation to global power, marked by rapid modernization, industrialization, and an expanding empire. At the start of the 19th century, Japan was still a feudal society, deeply rooted in its traditional ways, with the Tokugawa shogunate governing the country in relative peace for over two centuries. However, Japan’s world would change forever when the United States, under Commodore Matthew Perry, forced the country to open its ports in 1854 after a period of strict isolation. 
  This marked the beginning of the Meiji Restoration in 1868, a pivotal event that reshaped Japan’s destiny. The Meiji Restoration was a time of intense reform, where Japan sought to modernize in order to survive and compete with the Western powers. The young Emperor Meiji played a crucial role in transforming Japan from a feudal society into a centralized, modern state. The Japanese government adopted Western methods of governance, education, and technology, while also developing a new sense of national pride and unity. The feudal system was dismantled, and Japan was rapidly industrialized, building a powerful military and a burgeoning economy. 
  The Meiji government’s aggressive modernization policies allowed Japan to catch up with the West in terms of technological and military advancements. Railroads, factories, and telegraphs quickly spread throughout the country. The education system was restructured, producing a new generation of skilled workers and intellectuals who were eager to contribute to Japan’s growing power. By the late 19th century, Japan had established a modern, strong economy capable of competing on the world stage.

Do you think that mind control is the most powerful key to having everything you want? Well, you are on the right track, so keep reading…Everyone wants success in life, but only a few admit that to themselves… Fewer admit that to others. Just try for a moment to think about the life you have always wanted, visualize it, and define an image that represents it.Now focus on the feeling that image generates ... Well, this is what is called daydreaming.But what if this dream could come true?Most of the books told you that to achieve success, you need to be a better person, the best version of yourself. True… but it’s not enough! What they don’t tell you is that you must develop the ability to make everyone do what do you want, when you want. You have just two methods.

  Healing of a Psychotherapist - A...

  An unhappy childhood often affects who we become in adulthood and our capacity to enjoy whatever successes we achieve. In Healing of a Psychotherapist: A Journey of Rebellion, Reflection, and Redemption, Charles McCormack, MA, MSW, LCSW-C, uses his own life in illustration. With searing honesty, McCormack lays bare his personal and professional ordeals, along with the lessons he’s drawn and continues to draw. Though his story is unique, his struggles are not; thus, McCormack’s narrative works its way into the heart of each of us. His take home, the one given to him by his mother on her deathbed, is clear. Staring into his eyes, she was emphatic: “Charlie. Have a good life. Have a good life.,” refusing to break her hold upon him until he finally committed, “I will, mom, I will, “ all the while thinking, “how the hell do I do that?” McCormack hopes that sharing his story through this book brings his readers insight and healing. 
  Mr. McCormack holds master's degrees in Psychology and Social Work. Since 1974, he has worked in in-patient psychiatric units, family violence, sexual abuse treatment, and SUDs treatment programs, and private practice. In 1988, he was named the Senior Social Worker of Adult Long-term Inpatient Services at Sheppard Pratt. His writings include “Treatment of the Borderline/Schizoid Couple,” "Treating Borderline States in Marriage," and "Essence" (memoir), awarded the Montaigne Medal for being the most thought-provoking of books. He was a long-term faculty member of the Washington School Psychiatry and Clinician of the Year (Maryland Society of Clinical Social Work). Long before social work embraced trauma-informed approaches, McCormack wrote about and trained social workers in ways of conceptualizing and humanizing work with individuals and couples impacted by major psychopathology. In 2023, McCormack was the recipient of the University of Maryland School of Social Work's Emeritus Award for contributions to the profession.
