Sinopse

In "The Mob Mentality," Gustave Le Bon delves into the psychological phenomena that govern crowd behavior, weaving an intricate tapestry of social theory and psychological insight. Through a meticulous examination of historical events and sociological patterns, Le Bon articulates the ways in which individuals lose their sense of personal responsibility within a collective. His work employs a clear, yet provocative prose style, akin to the emerging schools of psychological thought during the late 19th century, offering readers a perspective on how emotions and collective identity can eclipse rational thought in a crowd setting. Gustave Le Bon, a pioneering social psychologist and sociologist, wrote this seminal text amidst a backdrop of social unrest and political upheaval in Europe. His extensive background in medicine and anthropology influenced his interest in the dynamics of crowds, leading him to investigate the collective behaviors that arise in times of crisis or change. Le Bon'Äôs insights are precursors to many modern theories of mass psychology, revealing how group dynamics can shape societal movements. Readers seeking to understand the complexities of human behavior within group contexts will find "The Mob Mentality" invaluable. Le Bon's exploration not only enhances our comprehension of historical events but also resonates in contemporary society, where mob dynamics can still influence public opinion and action. This work is essential for anyone interested in psychology, sociology, or the interplay between individual agency and collective power.

    If you’ve ever wondered why people keep talking about Palestine, or the point of keeping up with a long-drawn conflict in the Middle East and what difference you could possibly make, this book is for you. Political analyst and podcaster Walid Jumblatt Abdullah takes on questions that Singaporeans have often raised about Palestine, laying out answers that clarify and inform. 
     
    Walid examines myths (“Could Gaza Have Been Singapore?”) and sheds light on the double standards of Western powers, to whom human rights seem to matter, except for where Palestine is concerned. Explaining how the Palestinians have been systematically dehumanised for decades, the book highlights how they continue to exist nevertheless, their very existence an act of resistance. 
     
    Why Palestine? is an illuminating starting point for newcomers to the issue, and a passionate primer that seasoned activists will welcome for capturing the heart and hope of a long-disenfranchised people and those who support them.

    The 50 years following the assassination of Severus Alexander on March 19, 235 CE has been generally regarded by academics as one of the lowest points in the history of the Roman Empire. This stands in stark contrast to the previous 150 years, which included the reigns of the Five Good Emperors and has been universally praised as one of the high points of the empire. Severus Alexander was the last of the Severan emperors, and the subsequent years of crisis (235-285 CE) were characterized by a series of short reigns, usually ending in the violent death of the reigning emperor. 
    At the same time, this period of time also saw the empire beset by threatening forces on all sides. The Romans faced a newly resurgent Persia in the east, as well as significant forces from German tribes on the Rhine and Goths along the Danube. The various conflicts would result in the unprecedented death of a sitting emperor in battle, which took place in 251 with Emperor Decius, and Emperor Valerian was captured in 260 CE.  
    Diocletian's reign would see reforms put into place to achieve the desired end of the Imperial Crisis, and several of the emperors before him may well have had the ability to manage the reform process, but the army’s power and willingness to use and abuse power ensured that few of them truly had a chance to really make their marks. It was the worst period in the history of the Roman Empire to that point, even as it forced the Romans to deal with belligerent foreign powers and problems created by the emergence of increasingly powerful and populous provinces. 
    The pressures created by population growth, both within the empire and outside of it, have been thoroughly researched, but more recently, issues created by climate change have also commanded attention.
