Synopsis

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: G. K. Chesterton, the man beyond the writer


The early twentieth-century was a time when many works, including popular essays, were written on eugenics and eugenic theory, usually to promote the ideas. However, significant anti-eugenic essays also circulated, the most famous of which is “Eugenics and Other Evils” (AKA Eugenics and Other Evils: an argument against scientifically organized state), written by English author and philosopher G. K. Chesterton and originally published in 1922, just a few years after the close of the 'Great War.'
In “Eugenics and Other Evils,” Chesterton argues that eugenic laws are a means of suppressing the poor, and predicts the abuse of eugenics. The book was influential enough that the British Parliament began to question eugenic legislation, and indeed eugenic legislation as existed in the United States was never passed in Great Britain.

    Umayyad Caliphate’s Invasions of...

    Amid the upheaval in the Islamic world following Muhammad’s death, the Umayyad Caliphate lasted for less than a century, but it spent that time becoming one of the most influential of the major caliphates. Its official existence was from 661-750, and the rulers were the male members of the Umayyad dynasty, roughly translated from Arabic as the “Sons of Umayyah.” Its primary base of power was in Syria following the creation of a dynastic, hereditary rule headed by one of Syria’s long-lasting governors, Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan. 
    	The history of the Iberian Peninsula is closely bound to the Umayyad Caliphate. The term “Spain” was not in wide use until the region was united by the monarchs of Aragon and Castile, and the Arabs called the lands they ruled in the Iberian Peninsula Al-Andalus, traditionally thought to be an Arabic transliteration of Vandal, the Germanic tribe which briefly ruled the region in the early fifth century. The English name Andalusia derives from the Spanish Andalucia, which is still used by Spain to name its southern region. While the Moors have always been associated with Spain due to their lengthy stay on the Iberian Peninsula, the most famous battle they were involved in was actually fought in modern France. While the Franks were consolidating a kingdom there, Muslim forces were pushing out of North Africa and into the Iberian Peninsula in the early 8th century, and by the dawn of the 730s, the Umayyad dynasty had expanded its territory from the Atlantic to the Pyrenees. 
    The Umayyads also constantly fought the Byzantines, and on August 15, 717, their formidable army, under the command of General Maslama ibn 'Abd al-Malik, arrived in Thrace and laid siege to the imposing walls of Constantinople. This event, which lasted a full year until August 15, 718, represented the apex of the Islamic expansionist project aimed at definitively eradicating the Byzantine Empire and subjugating its seemingly impregnable capital.

    A Lifetime Doing Nothing - Tales...

    This book is a compilation of teachings told in short stories about the author's attempts to undo the done. He offers this little book as a more ardent, and hopefully lucid, attempt to explain the paramount importance of doing nothing as a way to undo oneself. 
     
    ----------------------------- 
     
    "In my experience, all our problems do indeed stem from this hyperactive and delusional thinking we have acquired over time. 
     
    There is a way to eradicate the light-speed, blind reactions and the habitual confusion. The way is very simple. It boils down to just two words: do nothing. That s it. Do nothing. Sit quietly in a room alone and do nothing. Watch the monkey mind and do not try to fix it or eliminate it or drown it out or engage it. 
     
    This is doing non-doing. Observe the mind, on autopilot as usual, screaming editorial comments from the sidelines like some frenzied play-by-play announcer and do nothing about it. Don't turn the monologue into a dialogue. Do nothing. 'Nothing to see here, folks. Let s keep it moving.'"
