Beschreibung

In "Defenseless America," Hudson Maxim presents a provocative and prescient examination of the vulnerabilities that America faces in a changing world. Written during the early 20th century and characterized by its incisive rhetoric and logical reasoning, the book delves deep into military preparedness and national security, arguing for the necessity of an advanced defense strategy. Maxim effectively combines a mix of historical analysis and speculative foresight, critiquing complacency in a time of growing international threats while drawing on examples from past conflicts to underscore his assertions. Hudson Maxim, a prominent American inventor and a passionate advocate for military reform, brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to this work. His background as an artillery expert and his involvement in munitions development lend authority to his arguments, as he implores his nation to be vigilant in the face of external aggressions. This work is informed by the tumultuous context of World War I, during which America grappled with its position and responsibilities on the world stage. "Defenseless America" is a must-read for those interested in military history, national security, and the evolution of American defense policy. Maxim's compelling arguments challenge readers to consider the implications of national vulnerability and the moral imperative of preparedness, making it a timeless call to action for citizens and policymakers alike.

    Chris is sixteen. He wants to do well at college, have fun with his mates, be a good boyfriend and son. But anxiety takes its grip and won't shake loose. This is his true story.
    
    Chris Westoby takes us inside his past self, a teenager from a small English town. He's trying to be a good friend, student, son and boyfriend, but he struggles to be in company without wanting to hide. And things only get worse: it's nearly impossible to take the bus to college without catching the next bus home.
    
    His obsessive germaphobia begins to destroy his life. How can one boy overcome all this? Chris gives an unflinching, raw account of his troubles and presents what he's has learned. This book offers an outstretched hand to those fighting these same battles, or to anyone who's watching someone else go through the same.
    
    'The Fear Talking' does not promise to solve your problems, but it shows you that you're not alone. That's all Chris ever wanted, really; to unflinchingly capture the warmth and darkness of the teenage years.

    My Brother's Keeper tells the behind-the-scenes story of how the American president and the Israeli prime minister clashed about peace, war, and the future of the region. 
     
     
     
    Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu viewed the world—and especially the Middle East—differently. The US president wanted to end what he saw as America's perpetual war against the Muslim and Arab worlds, use diplomacy to bring about a Palestinian state coexisting peacefully with Israel, and apply his signature foreign policy vision to reward the Islamic Republic of Iran in exchange for the scaling back of their nuclear pursuits. The Israeli premier wanted his country to thrive without the senseless bloodshed of terror and violence, and he was determined to protect the Jewish state from threats of annihilation by a member of the axis of evil that would one day be armed with nuclear weapons. Netanyahu wanted peace for peace, as well as the acceptance of Israel as a full-fledged part of the Middle East. In 2014, during a pivotal summer of terrorist violence, a war in Gaza, and the advancement of a nuclear deal with Iran, the two men clashed, threatening the US-Israeli strategic alliance and the future of the region. The Middle East would never be the same.

    "Fromm crossed the boundaries of traditional disciplines to expound his view on the alienation of man in an increasingly technological world." —Newsweek 
     
     
     
    Erich Fromm's basic idea was to look at the individual as a social being, and to look at society as an ensemble of many individuals who have not only mutual ideas and convictions based on a common practice of life, but also a shared psychic structure. With his concept of "social character," Fromm created a new interdisciplinary thinking presented in this compendium. 
     
     
     
    The Erich Fromm Reader exhibits the true genius of an original thinker in seeing the connections between overlapping knowledge from many different fields. Here, interdisciplinarity is not only a lip service but the impact of Erich Fromm's unique social psychological notion.
