Summary

The Nuremberg Trials (Volume 10) serves as a pivotal documentation of the groundbreaking post-World War II tribunal that sought justice for the most egregious war crimes. This volume meticulously compiles the texts of the proceedings, including the pivotal arguments presented by both the prosecution and defense, alongside the testimonies of key witnesses. The authors present a sober and analytical literary style that reflects the gravity of the events at hand, while embedding the trials within a broader historical context of international law and human rights. This volume delves deeply into the legal intricacies and ethical ramifications of justice in wartime, contributing significantly to the discourse on collective accountability and moral responsibility in military conflicts. The International Military Tribunal, established in the aftermath of the Holocaust and the Second World War, was instrumental in defining the principles of war crimes. Comprised of judges and legal experts from the Allied nations, this tribunal aimed to confront the failings of humanity by bringing high-ranking officials to justice. Their direct involvement in the trials provides a unique perspective that enhances our understanding of the legal challenges faced in prosecuting such unprecedented atrocities, forming a critical response to the tragedies that unfolded during the war. This volume is indispensable for readers interested in law, history, and ethics, as it not only chronicles a defining moment in international jurisprudence but also provokes reflective thought on the mechanisms of justice and humanity's ongoing struggle against tyranny. Scholars, law students, and history enthusiasts alike will find this work essential for grasping the complexities of war crimes, paving the way for a deeper understanding of contemporary issues in international law.

    Is it possible to renew the mind? - 24 May 1967 
• When the mind is living through imagination and thought, it is incapable of 
living in the complete fullness of the present. 
• Thought has created time, not chronological time but psychological time. That 
is, ‘I will be,’ ‘I should be.’ 
• Is it possible for the brain to be quiet, to give an interval between the old and 
the new? This interval is the timeless nature in which thought cannot possibly 
enter. 
• That which has continuity is repetitive, which is time. It’s only when time 
comes to an end there is something new taking place. 
• To die every day to every problem, every pleasure, and not carry over any 
problem at all; so the mind remains tremendously attentive, active, clear. 
• Since love is not desire or pleasure, how does one come upon it? 
• Q: Is the feeling of responsibility a part of the order and discipline you were 
talking about? 
• Q: Why don’t people get angry with what you are saying?

    An exuberant, incisive look at how Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater transformed a culture 
 
Going from a hobby toy for surfers to an Olympic sport, skateboarding has had a tumultuous history. Today, professional skateboarders land endorsement deals with Nike and Adidas, while popular television series like HBO’s Betty tell the stories of diverse crews of skaters living in New York City. So how did a fledgling subculture rise from its near-death knell in the ’90s to become ubiquitous today? It was simply a matter of finding the right messenger. 
 
In 1999, the bestselling video game Tony Hawk’sPro Skater was released, and a new generation was exposed to skateboarding culture right in their very own homes. Kids and adults alike could now spend hours playing as actual skateboarders, learning the vernacular, listening to the music skateboarders loved, and having fun onscreen before trying to skate IRL in the driveway. 
 
Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skateboarding culture ― and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness ― to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process.
