Summary

Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine has cost hundreds of thousands of lives and is fundamentally an attack on democracy. Under international law, the invasion of a United Nations member state which poses no imminent threat to the invader amounts to the serious crime of aggression. But can Putin be prosecuted? And if so, will he ever be held to account?
This remarkable book, by one of the world's most celebrated human rights lawyers, shows how the Nuremberg trials of Nazi leaders validate the prosecution of Putin. Ironically, Putin's defence hinges on a doctrine invented by George W. Bush to justify his invasion of Iraq, which Geoffrey Robertson exposes as contravening international law. If Putin fails to attend court, Robertson argues that he could be tried fairly in his absence, ensuring a verdict that will give pause to China and other countries which look to destroy democracy.
This brilliant deep dive into international law offers a unique perspective on an unjust war, highlighting why democracy is not safe unless Putin can be put – at least metaphorically – behind bars.

    "The Principles of Political Economy, and Taxation" is a book written by David Ricardo, a British economist who lived from 1772 to 1823. First published in 1817, the book is considered a landmark in the development of classical economics, and is one of the most influential works in the field. 
In the book, Ricardo lays out his theories of economic rent, labor value, and comparative advantage. He argues that economic rent, which is the difference between the value of a resource and its production cost, is the main source of wealth in an economy. He also discusses the relationship between labor and value, and how labor contributes to the creation of wealth. 
Ricardo's most famous contribution to economics is his theory of comparative advantage, which argues that countries should specialize in producing goods for which they have a comparative advantage, even if they could produce other goods more efficiently. This theory has had a profound impact on international trade policy. 
"The Principles of Political Economy, and Taxation" was controversial in its time, and Ricardo's ideas were met with criticism and opposition. However, his work has had a lasting impact on the field of economics, and is still studied and debated today.

    You’ve probably heard of mind maps before. In school you surely had teachers create them more than once, with a main idea in the middle, and the branches that popped out in all directions, with sub-themes, which looked like a giant spider on the blackboard. You probably didn’t give much thought to them back then, and you’ve probably even forgotten about them in general by now. 
	The thing is, though they might bring you back to thoughts of elementary-level learning, Mind Maps can be an excellent visual tool for pretty much everything you can imagine. It’s been argued that the type of memory people use the most is visual. Mind Maps are great for exploiting this memory because they have the additional benefit of working similar to the way our mind does. 
	We have grown used to note-taking and list-making, but our brain does not work in a linear way; it actually functions by making free associations between ideas that branch from one onto the other. Mind Maps are the same. You part from a main idea, which then opens onto more sub-topics that are related directly to it. This helps structure the information you will be working with, which in turn helps you analyze, understand, and compress the data correctly, which then makes it easier for you to remember it and create new ideas parting from that point. 
	Mind Maps are a very simple way to arrange your thoughts in an analytical, but also artistic way, something that makes more than one area of your brain work on it, making it engage various cognitive functions, so that you can learn or organize your ideas better. This book will teach you mind mapping techniques from A to Z. Get it Now!

    Dr. Alicia Blando learned during the early days of the HIV epidemic that American medical practices fail to holistically support patients. Seeing a gap in medical care, Dr. Blando started seeking advice from unconventional counselors, such as psychics, mediums and astrologers, as well as learning from indigenous healers. “Open for Interpretation: A Doctor’s Journey into Astrology” follows Dr. Blando’s self-discovery journey through her astrological chart and demonstrates how readers can apply this ancient practice to their own path to self-discovery.  
In conjunction with Western medicine, Dr. Blando believes that the tenets of astrology can support a person’s health, wellbeing, and self-understanding, and can even offer insight into predispositions for certain diseases and illnesses. Dr. Blando takes readers on her pursuit of life’s age-old question, “Am I walking the right path?” She travels from Manhattan to the Peruvian Amazon, Belize, and Bolivia, and learns about time-proven, holistic methods of healing. In her stunning memoir, she shares her story of finally finding the guide she’s been seeking—and explains how we can all use that map to access our higher selves and untapped potential.  
In “Open for Interpretation”, Dr. Blando’s expedition off the beaten path leads her to true self-exploration and connection with the world around her, as well as a desire to share her knowledge and experience.
