  India has an amazing history, from some of the world’s earliest civilizations to its contemporary high-tech culture and a huge diversity of religions, arts, and people. 
  This book takes you all the way from India’s prehistoric beginnings at Mohenjo-daro to the development of Buddhism and the Maurya Empire, the Hindu empires of the Middle Ages, the Mughals who brought Islam to the mix (and created the Taj Mahal), the British Raj, and finally the fight for independence and the modern yet ageless India of today. 
  On the way, you’ll find out some fascinating facts about Indian culture, history, and historical figures. Here is just a glimpse of what you can discover in this book: 
  ·      How National Highway 1 goes all the way back to the Mauryan Empire! 
  ·      The importance of nonviolence in Indian culture 
  ·      How just 20,000 British officials ruled a population of millions 
  ·      How the illiterate emperor Akbar headed a huge revival of art and scholarship, mixing Hindu, Muslim, Jain, and even Christian influences 
  ·      Why only ten of the eleven Sikh gurus were actual people—and who the eleventh guru is 
  ·      How India exported Buddhism to the world 
  ·      India’s intense artistic heritage, from rock-cut temples and acutely observant Mughal miniatures to Anish Kapoor’s contemporary abstracts

  "SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE": 10-MINUTE...

  Daniel Goleman

  In "Social Intelligence," Daniel Goleman explores how our relationships affect the brain, health, and well-being. He proposes that humans are biologically programmed to connect emotionally and distinguishes between two neural pathways: a fast, intuitive one (the low road) and a rational, conscious one (the high road). Goleman introduces concepts such as emotional contagion, empathy, mirror neurons, and the importance of attachment from infancy. 
   Goleman also differentiates between I/Thou relationships, based on genuine connection, and I/It relationships, which are more impersonal. He warns about the risks of the "dark triad" (narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism) and the emotional blindness that can affect individuals with trauma or autism spectrum conditions. He emphasizes that social intelligence is not innate but moldable through experience and environment, thanks to social epigenetics. 
   The author analyzes how love, leadership, education, and emotional health are influenced by our social skills. He also critiques the negative impact of technology and the mechanization of the medical system on empathy. Finally, Goleman advocates for a more compassionate society where social intelligence is cultivated through cultural, educational, and community efforts to improve our lives and relationships.

  ""A brilliant, riveting, funny, terrifying journey into the beating heart of Trumpland."" —Liza Mundy, author of Code Girls 
  In this daring work of immersive journalism, based on hundreds of hours of reporting, Carl Hoffman journeys deep inside Donald Trump’s rallies, seeking to understand the strange and powerful tribe that forms the president’s base.  
  Hoffman, who has written about the most dangerous and remote corners of the world, pierced this alternate society, welcomed in and initiated into its rites and upside-down beliefs, and finally ushered to its inner sanctum. Equally freewheeling and profound, Liar’s Circus tracks the MAGA faithful across five thousand miles of the American heartland during a crucial arc of the Trump presidency stretching from the impeachment saga to the dawn of the coronavirus pandemic that ended the rallies as we know it. 
  Trump’s rallies are a singular and defining force in American history—a kind of Rosetta stone to understanding the Age of Trump. Yet while much remarked upon, they are, in fact, little examined, with the focus almost always on Trump’s latest outrageous statement. But who are the tens of thousands of people who fill these arenas? What do they see in Trump? And what curious alchemy—between president and adoring crowd—happens there that might explain Trump’s rise and powerful hold over both his base and the GOP? 
  To those on the left, the rallies are a Black Mass of American politics at which Trump plays high priest, recklessly summoning the darkest forces within the nation. To the MAGA faithful, the rallies are a form of pilgrimage, a joyous ceremony that like all rituals binds people together and makes them feel a part of something bigger than themselves. Both sides would acknowledge that this traveling roadshow is the pressurized, combustible core of Trump’s political power, a meeting of the faithful where Trump is unshackled and his rhetoric reaches its most extreme, with downstream consequences for the rest of the nation. 
  To date, no reporter has sought to understand the rallies as a sociological phenomenon examined from the bottom up. Hoffman has done just this. He has stood in line for more than 170 hours with Trump's most ardent superfans and joined them at the very front row; he has traveled from Minnesota to Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and New Hampshire immersing himself in their culture.   
  Liar’s Circus is a revelatory portrait of Trump’s America, from one of our most intrepid journalists.

  Operation Balak: The History of...

  Less than two weeks after the creation of Israel, the state’s leader, David Ben-Gurion, announced the creation of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). This represented the combined military forces that would protect the new state, and while it might have sounded impressive on paper, the reality was very different. The new army was comprised mainly of ex-members of several paramilitary organizations that had fought for the establishment of the new state, but they lacked heavy weapons, armor and air defenses. The Israeli navy and air force did not exist other than as largely notional organizations, and at the beginning of 1948, the Israeli Air Force did not possess a single combat aircraft of any type.  
  	To many outsiders, the defeat of the nascent Jewish state seemed a certainty, yet in an unbelievably short space of time, and despite international embargoes on the export of arms to the region, Israel was able to procure sufficient arms to equip its armed forces and to successfully defend its territory in what became known as the War of Independence (also known as First Arab–Israeli War). 
  	This was not the last war that Israel would fight, nor the largest, but its very survival as a state depended on avoiding complete military defeat in 1948. The efforts to do so were tied to a series of secret operations that provided the aircraft and weapons that enabled Israel to survive the First Arab–Israeli War. The smuggling would center on procuring advanced European weaponry, which ironically meant that some of the weapons that reached Israel hailed from none other than Nazi Germany.
