The Nuremberg Trials (Volume 8)

International Military Tribunal

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

The Nuremberg Trials (Volume 8) is a pivotal compendium that delves into the groundbreaking proceedings held in the aftermath of World War II, where leading figures of Nazi Germany were held accountable for war crimes. This volume meticulously chronicles the testimonies, legal arguments, and judgments rendered during the trials, presenting a rich tapestry of evidence and moral consideration that galvanized international law and human rights. The literary style is characterized by its thorough and formal documentation, supported by an analytical lens that captures the profound moral complexities entailed in prosecuting crimes against humanity. Arising from a historical context that necessitated justice and reparation, this volume serves as both a scholarly resource and a powerful narrative of accountability. The International Military Tribunal, composed of judges and prosecutors from the Allied powers, was tasked with this monumental undertaking in 1945-1946. Their determination to address the atrocities of the Holocaust and wartime aggression was fueled by a collective responsibility to ensure that such acts would never go unpunished. This tribunal laid the critical groundwork for contemporary international law, addressing the very philosophical and moral questions surrounding justice in times of war. I highly recommend The Nuremberg Trials (Volume 8) to scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the intersections of law, ethics, and human rights. This volume not only highlights the historical significance of the trials but also serves as a compelling reminder of the need for vigilance in the face of human rights violations. It provides invaluable insights into how global societies reckon with their dark pasts while striving toward a more just future.

Inca Empire The: An Enthralling...

Billy Wellman

Did you know that the Incas worshiped the mummies of their emperors?
For the Incas, death didn’t exist; it simply took the dead to a different plane of life. So, the mummies of their emperors were treated as people; they were given food and drink and even visited each other ceremoniously. They also owned country estates, which generated enough profits to keep them in the style to which they were accustomed.
This might sound like a curiosity, but this form of ancestor worship was central to the Inca culture and to the history of the Inca Empire, which stretched from Ecuador and Colombia in the north to Chile in the south.
Everyone has seen pictures of one of the Incas’ greatest achievements: the mountain-top wonder of Machu Picchu. But Inca history has always been told by the Spanish colonizers who conquered them since the Inca had no formal writing. Now, archaeology is giving us more information on how the Inca really lived, helping us differentiate real history from myth and propaganda.
In this audiobook, you will discover how the Inca created an expansive empire in just a century and why that civilization crumbled so fast once the Spanish arrived.
You’ll also discover the following:How the Inca civilization developed out of a number of preceding cultures in the Andes and Peruvian coast;How quickly the Incas were able to expand and why they needed to;How the empire was administered and how runners were able to take messages from one end of it to the other with remarkable speed;The amazing Inca infrastructure program, which included building roads through mountain ranges and across raging rivers;Why Inca cuisine included tasty guinea pigs and llama jerky;And so much more!

Survival of the Virtuous - The...

Dennis L. Krebs

Do good guys finish last? Did we evolve to look out for number one? Are we bad by nature? At first glance, the theory of evolution seems to imply that all organisms are evolved to be selfish. 
 
 
 
In this book, evolutionary psychologist Dennis Krebs explains how virtuous behaviors such as altruism, justice, honesty, loyalty, self-control, purity, and respect for authority, have evolved in humans and other species. He argues that the key to solving puzzles of morality—such as what it is, how we acquire moral traits, why we sometimes behave badly, and how we make moral decisions—lies in figuring out what adaptive functions moral traits served in early human environments and how they are influenced by social learning, culture, and strategic social interactions in the modern world. Arguing that the primary function of virtuous behaviors is to enable individuals to advance their own interests and examining the moral decision-making mechanisms that evolved to serve these functions, this book considers the "new brain" mechanisms that are unique to humans and "old brain" mechanisms that we share with other species, illuminating how these work in conjunction with each other to guide our moral choices.

Intellectual Property - A Very...

Siva Vaidhyanathan

We all create intellectual property. We all use intellectual property. Intellectual property is the most pervasive yet least understood way we regulate expression. Despite its importance to so many aspects of the global economy and daily life, intellectual property policy remains a confusing and arcane subject. This engaging book clarifies both the basic terms and the major conflicts surrounding these fascinating areas of law, offering a layman's introduction to copyright, patents, trademarks, and other forms of knowledge falling under the purview of intellectual property rights. Using vivid examples, noted media expert Siva Vaidhyanathan illustrates the powers and limits of intellectual property, distilling with grace and wit the complex tangle of laws, policies, and values governing the dissemination of ideas, expressions, inventions, creativity, and data collection in the modern world. 
 
 
 
Through compelling case studies, including those of Starbucks, Coca-Cola, Sony, Amazon, and Google Books, Vaidhyanathan shows that the modern intellectual property systems reflect three centuries of changes in politics, economics, technologies, and social values. Although it emerged from a desire to foster creativity while simultaneously protecting it, intellectual property today has fundamentally shifted to a political dimension.
