  The Glorious Revolution -...

  The Glorious Revolution of 1688 was not an event that occurred overnight; it was the culmination of years of political, religious, and social tensions in England. By the late 17th century, England was experiencing a period of instability and growing unrest, especially regarding the power of the monarchy versus the authority of Parliament. King James II, who ascended the throne in 1685, was a deeply polarizing figure. His reign would ignite the political crisis that eventually led to what would become known as the Glorious Revolution—a bloodless overthrow of the monarchy that profoundly reshaped English government and society. 
  James II, a devout Catholic, introduced policies that alarmed the predominantly Protestant English population. He sought to expand royal power at the expense of Parliament, leading to widespread fear of a return to Catholicism and absolute monarchy, similar to the reigns of his predecessors. His attempts to grant religious tolerance to Catholics and appoint them to high government and military positions created a rift between him and Parliament, which was largely controlled by Protestants. Moreover, his apparent disregard for the Protestant majority's concerns about his intentions deepened the divide between the monarchy and the English people. 
  At the same time, the political landscape of England was undergoing significant changes. The Whigs and Tories, the two major political factions of the time, were increasingly at odds over issues of religion and royal power. The Whigs, with their preference for constitutional monarchy and limited royal power, were particularly opposed to James II’s policies. They sought to preserve the Protestant faith and limit the king’s ability to impose his will without Parliament’s consent. On the other hand, the Tories, while still supportive of the monarchy, became increasingly wary of James's actions and the possibility of his dynastic line establishing a Catholic monarchy in England.

  Perceptions

  PERCEPTIONS consists of short pieces, poetry or poem-like essays, written over a period of thirty years, on various serious and reflective topics, but with some humorous and occasional work too. As in Gillian Bickley's previous collections, the subjects occur internationally: this time, in the Pyrenees, Nigeria, Hawai'i, Albania, as well as Hong Kong. Taken as a whole, this fifth poetry collection recognizes the need for shelter and survival, the desire for love, for achievement, for feelings of self-worth, for objects on which to bestow reciprocal affection and the search for high-order achievements beyond the self. Reaching beyond this, Perceptions considers the needs of other species, our responsibilities towards them and the fragile environment that we all share. 
  "The poignance of her many perceptions crowds upon us." -- Stuart Christie 
  "This collection addresses universal topics in a thoughtful manner using common sense that most readers can appreciate. – Cairns Media Magazine 
  "An interesting addition to home-grown literature" – Clarissa Sebag-Montefiore, Sunday Morning Post, Hong Kong,17 June 2012

  The Fight for Privacy -...

  Privacy is disappearing. From our sex lives to our workout routines, the details of our lives once relegated to pen and paper have joined the slipstream of new technology. As a MacArthur fellow and distinguished professor of law at the University of Virginia, acclaimed civil rights advocate Danielle Citron has spent decades working with lawmakers and stakeholders across the globe to protect what she calls intimate privacy—encompassing our bodies, health, gender, and relationships. When intimate privacy becomes data, corporations know exactly when to flash that ad for a new drug or pregnancy test. Social and political forces know how to manipulate what you think and who you trust, leveraging sensitive secrets and deepfake videos to ruin or silence opponents. And as new technologies invite new violations, people have power over one another like never before, from revenge porn to blackmail, attaching life-altering risks to growing up, dating online, or falling in love. 
   
   
   
  A masterful new look at privacy in the twenty-first century, The Fight for Privacy takes the focus off Silicon Valley moguls to investigate the price we pay as technology migrates deeper into every aspect of our lives: entering our bedrooms and our bathrooms and our midnight texts; our relationships with friends, family, lovers, and kids; and even our relationship with ourselves.

  Zoroastrianism: The History and...

  The Sasanian Empire was important for a number of reasons. Besides being the last of three great Persian dynasties, they carried on many Persian cultural traditions relating to religion and kingship. The Sasanians fostered and promoted the native religion of Zoroastrianism to the point of persecuting other religions from time to time. It was during the Sasanian period that the numerous Zoroastrian hymns, prayers, and rituals were collected under one book, known as the Avesta.  
  	Thanks to the Sasanians’ efforts with regard to religion, modern scholars know much more about Zoroastrianism than they would have if the religion continued to disseminate orally. Their efforts also protected Zoroastrian knowledge in later years after the dynasty was long gone and Islam became ascendant in Persia. Zoroastrianism is technically still a living religion today, but the religion is mysterious and not widely known among those who don’t study it, and historians themselves are divided over when the religion’s prophet lived and when the religion was officially adopted in Persia. Zoroastrianism’s historical development has also failed to intrigue significant numbers of people, perhaps due to its geographical location and cultural background. Zoroastrianism developed among the Persian people, who have traditionally not been part of the standard Western, early Islamic, or Far Eastern cultural groupings, and when Persia later became part of the greater Islamic world, it was to the detriment of Zoroastrianism. Finally, Zoroastrianism is a “closed” religion, which has also kept it shrouded in mystery to a certain degree. Although contemporary Zoroastrians are quite open about their faith and willing to help non-Zoroastrian scholars, converts are rarely accepted by the faithful, adding a sense of insularity to the faith.
