Sinopsis

In "The Postage Stamp in War," Frederick John Melville deftly explores the intriguing interplay between philately and military history. This meticulously researched work chronicles how postage stamps serve as more than mere postal tools; they embody national identity, propaganda, and morale during wartime. Utilizing a blend of meticulous archival research and vivid illustrations, Melville's narrative captures the evolution of postage stamps from instruments of communication to powerful symbols of national pride and unity, particularly during pivotal conflicts such as World War I and II. His literary style, characterized by clarity and an engaging tone, invites readers to view the complexities of war through the lens of stamp design and distribution, thus positioning philately within a broader historical and cultural context. Frederick John Melville was an esteemed philatelist and historian whose passion for stamps was fueled by a lifelong interest in the ways in which mundane artifacts can reflect significant societal changes. His extensive background in both postal history and military studies allows him to weave a compelling narrative that connects aspects of culture and conflict. Melville's dedication to uncovering the often-overlooked stories behind postal materials reveals his belief in their importance in understanding sociopolitical environments. This book is highly recommended for enthusiasts of history, military studies, and philately alike. Melville's insightful analysis not only enriches the reader's understanding of postage stamps but also invites a broader reflection on how seemingly ordinary items can capture the essence of human experiences in times of strife. Scholars and casual readers will find solace in the beauty of Melville's scholarship, which bridges the personal and the political.

Pragmatism

In this book, James argues that the most important criterion for evaluating ideas and beliefs is their practical usefulness in real-life situations, rather than their abstract truth or correspondence to reality. James introduces the concept of "pragmatism," which he defines as a method of approaching philosophical questions by examining their practical consequences. He argues that truth is not an absolute and fixed entity, but rather a relative and changing one that is determined by the practical outcomes of our beliefs and actions. Read in English, unabridged.

A Woman's Guide to Claiming...

For too long, women have been told to confine themselves-physically, socially, and emotionally. Eliza VanCort says now is the time for women to stand tall, raise their voices, and claim their space. 
 
Women fight the pressure to make themselves small in private, professional, and public spaces. VanCort, a teacher, consultant, and speaker, provides the necessary tools for women to rewrite the rules and create the stories of their choosing safely and without apology. 
 
VanCort identifies the five key behaviors of all "Space-Claiming Queens": use your voice and posture to project confidence and power, end self-sabotage, forge connections, neutralize unsafe spaces, and unite across differences. Through personal narrative, research, and actionable strategies, VanCort provides how-tos on combating challenges, such as antimentors and microaggressions, and gives advice for building up your "old girls" club, asking for what you're worth, and owning your space without apology. 
 
Bold, fun, and enlightening, this book is birthed from VanCort's incredible story. Having a mother with schizophrenia forced VanCort to learn to be small and invisible at an early age, and suffering a traumatic brain injury as an adult required her to rethink communication from the ground up. Drawing on these experiences, and those of real women everywhere, VanCort empowers women to claim space for themselves and for their sisters with courage, empathy, and conviction because "when we rise together, we rise so much higher."

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an innovative approach that combines the principles of mindfulness with cognitive therapy techniques to address mental health challenges and enhance mental clarity. Developed as a preventative intervention for depression relapse, MBCT has grown in popularity and application across various mental health contexts due to its effectiveness in cultivating awareness and emotional resilience. 
At its core, MBCT integrates mindfulness practices—rooted in ancient meditative traditions—with evidence-based cognitive behavioral strategies. Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment with a sense of openness, curiosity, and non-judgment. It encourages individuals to observe their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without being swept away by them. When combined with cognitive therapy, which focuses on identifying and restructuring negative thought patterns, MBCT provides a powerful framework for managing psychological distress. 
The origins of MBCT trace back to the pioneering work of Zindel Segal, Mark Williams, and John Teasdale. Inspired by Jon Kabat-Zinn's Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program, these researchers sought to adapt mindfulness techniques specifically for individuals prone to recurrent episodes of depression. Over time, MBCT has demonstrated significant benefits not only in preventing depression relapse but also in treating anxiety, stress, and other mood disorders.

Selected as one of the Best Books of 2023 by The Economist. 
In this urgent, thought-provoking book, Bjorn Lomborg presents the 12 most efficient solutions for the world's poorest and our global SDG promises. • If you want to make the world better, Best Things First is the book to read. 
World leaders have promised everything to everyone. But they are failing. The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals are supposed to be delivered by 2030. The goals literally promise everything, like eradicating poverty, hunger and disease; stopping war and climate change, ending corruption, fixing education along with countless other promises. This year, the world is at halftime for its promises, but nowhere near halfway. Together with more than a hundred of the world’s top economists, Bjorn Lomborg has worked for years to identify the world’s best solutions. Based on 12 new, peer-reviewed papers, forthcoming in Cambridge University Press’ Journal of Benefit-Cost Analysis, this book highlights the world’s best policies.
