Sinopse

Locks And Secrets explores the fascinating history of security, revealing how locks and safes mirror broader technological and societal shifts. From ancient Egyptian pin tumblers to the intricate combination safes of the industrial era, the book examines the mechanics behind these devices while also considering their profound social implications.

 
Did you know that the development of warded locks in medieval Europe significantly impacted concepts of property and privacy? Or that security breaches have often driven innovation in lock technology? The book uniquely blends technology and history, presenting a chronological journey through key periods and advancements. It's not just about engineering; it's about understanding how our evolving notions of property, privacy, and power are reflected in the tools we use to protect our valuables.

 
By drawing on historical records, patents, and archaeological findings, the book provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of security technology's evolution. Each chapter builds upon the previous one, culminating in an analysis of modern security challenges. The study connects diverse fields such as criminology, engineering, and social history. This approach emphasizes the human element of security, highlighting the motivations, intentions, and consequences associated with the use of locks and safes.

    "A revolutionary diary that parses the lines of sex and power, in language that pushes itself around on the page like paint. With echoes of Emma Goldman's if I can't dance, Lardeux's revolution has fucking at its core. The Second Substance is fleshy, cinematic, intuitive." – Tamara Faith Berger, author of Queen Solomon
       
    “A nomadic miscellany of gruff scavengers and would-be pioneers has commandeered the derelict filling station at 69 Rue Principale—an anonymous sensualist and moonlighting authoritarian among them—all jockeying for position at the nexus of self-determination and fate. In Anne Lardeux’s enigmatic debut, presented here in a translation by Pablo Strauss, the constant friction between societal strictures and communal revision spark a series of disorderly experiments, abstract epiphanies blasting off in every direction. The Second Substance is a novel about overriding our programming, rewriting our code in order to initiate an even more radical set of protocols for eroticism, destruction, and rebirth.” – Justin Walls, Bookshop.org

    "Hitler's holocaust took over 6 million lives, hence he is rightly deemed a monster, but the british empire uprooted 15 million people from their homes, massacred millions and starved four million people to death. What about that?" 
    Abhijit Naskar, the scientist and reformer who's been at the forefront of humankind's struggle against discrimination, prejudice and injustice, gives us a work of making amends. In his simple yet bold words, as always, Naskar states: "There is no such thing as constitutional monarchy, you can either have constitution or monarchy."

    A collection of essays about Armenian identity and belonging in the diaspora. 
     
     
     
    In the century since the Armenian Genocide, Armenian survivors and their descendants have written of a vast range of experiences using storytelling and activism, two important aspects of Armenian culture. Wrestling with questions of home and self, diasporan Armenian writers bear the burden of repeatedly telling their history, as it remains widely erased and obfuscated. Telling this history requires a tangled balance of contextualizing the past and reporting on the present, of respecting a culture even while feeling lost within it. 
     
     
     
    We Are All Armenian brings together established and emerging Armenian authors to reflect on the complications of Armenian ethnic identity today. These personal essays elevate diasporic voices that have been historically silenced inside and outside of their communities, including queer, multiracial, and multiethnic writers. The eighteen contributors to this contemporary anthology explore issues of displacement, assimilation, inheritance, and broader definitions of home. Through engaging creative nonfiction, many of them question what it is to be Armenian enough inside an often unacknowledged community.

    There is an elite group that control the world. They run governments, companies and religions. They have done so for a very long time. 
     
    Their names have changed, their faces altered but their bloodlines remain the same. 
     
    We see glimpses of their power. We see the outcomes of their plots and schemes. We see revolutions and war. We succumb to their propaganda and manipulation again and again. Most have no idea that they are under the spell. 
     
    In the 18th century they emerged briefly into the spotlight to bring about world-wide cataclysmic change and they called themselves the Illuminati. 
     
    Quickly they spread and embedded themselves and their ideals within other secret societies. The French had a bloody revolution. America turned the tide against a royal regime. Russia, Spain and more, all fell to the zeal of a new world order. 
     
    This is the story of the world's most powerful secret and sacred order.
