Synopsis

The Collected Works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau presents a comprehensive assemblage of the influential philosopher's writings, showcasing his profound impact on political theory, education, and literature. The anthology features seminal texts such as 'The Social Contract' and 'Emile, or On Education', characterized by Rousseau's emotive prose and his pioneering exploration of the human condition and social structures. Rooted in the Enlightenment, Rousseau's works grapple with themes of individualism, freedom, and the relationship between society and the natural world, inviting readers to question the status quo and their place within it. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a polymath of the 18th century, emerged from a tumultuous upbringing shaped by the shifting cultural landscape of Europe. His early life, marked by poverty and loss, galvanized his philosophical inquiries into human nature and societal constructs. Influenced by the prevailing intellectual currents and his personal experiences, Rousseau championed ideas of authenticity, emotional depth, and the inherent goodness of humanity, which critically informed his multifaceted writings collected in this volume. This compilation is an essential read for scholars and enthusiasts of Enlightenment thought, political philosophy, and educational theory. Rousseau's insights remain remarkably relevant, urging contemporary readers to reflect on their values and social conditions. Engaging with his works offers a journey into the intellectual roots of modern democracy and educational reform, making it an indispensable addition to any thoughtful library.

    The Shocking Truth about Stress...

    Stress is often seen as an unavoidable part of modern life. From overwhelming work deadlines to financial struggles and personal conflicts, stress seems to lurk around every corner. Society has long accepted stress as a necessary evil, something we must learn to endure. But what if everything you’ve been told about stress management is wrong? What if the traditional methods of coping—deep breathing, relaxation techniques, and work-life balance strategies—aren’t enough to truly free you from its grip?  
      
    For years, experts have preached the same advice: meditate, take breaks, practice mindfulness, and reduce your workload. While these techniques may offer temporary relief, they fail to address the root causes of stress. Many people follow these recommendations diligently, only to find themselves still overwhelmed, exhausted, and frustrated. The real problem isn’t just the stress itself but how we understand and manage it. The shocking truth is that most stress management techniques only scratch the surface, ignoring the deeper psychological, physiological, and societal factors that keep stress alive.  
      
    Modern life is more demanding than ever. The pressure to succeed, maintain relationships, stay financially stable, and keep up with an always-connected digital world makes stress an inescapable force. The reality is that stress is not just an emotional reaction—it is a full-body experience that affects your mind, health, and overall well-being. Chronic stress can lead to anxiety, depression, heart disease, and even a weakened immune system. It changes the way you think, the way you make decisions, and the way you interact with others. And yet, most people continue to treat stress as if it’s just a fleeting feeling that can be soothed away with a few minutes of meditation.

    Kargil - From Surprise To Victory

    In February 1999, Pakistani Army personnel, disguised as jihadi militants, infiltrated into mountainous Kargil and occupied key vantage points. Their intrusion triggered a limited war between the world's newest nuclear states. It was a bitter battle, and one that threw up important lessons for India's defence preparedness, as also its responses to conflicts such as this. This incisive book by General V.P. Malik, former Chief of the Army Staff, analyses the reasoning behind the Pakistani Army's moves and tactics and reviews crucial issues such as the extent of intelligence and surveillance failure on the Indian side and the measures necessary to redress these failings. Away from questions of strategy and tactics, however, Kargil is also a reminder of the unalloyed heroism that was on display during those grim weeks, heroism that become a benchmark for valour.

    A Short History of Spaghetti...

    Intellectually engaging and deliciously readable, a stereotype-defying history of how one of the most recognisable symbols of Italian cuisine and national identity is the product of centuries of encounters, dialogue, and exchange.
     
    Is it possible to identify a starting point in history from which everything else unfolds—a single moment that can explain the present and reveal the essence of our identities? According to Massimo Montanari, this is just a myth: by themselves, origins explain very little and historical phenomena can only be understood dynamically—by looking at how events and identities develop and change as a result of encounters and combinations that are often unexpected.
     
    As Montanari shows in this lively, brilliant, and surprising essay, all you need to debunk the “origins myth” is a plate of spaghetti. By tracing the history of the one of Italy’s “national dishes”—from Asia to America, from Africa to Europe; from the beginning of agriculture to the Middle Ages and up to the 20th century—he shows that in order to understand who we are (our identity) we almost always need to look beyond ourselves to other cultures, peoples, and traditions.

    Stolen Fragments - Black Markets...

    In 2012, Steve Green, billionaire and president of Hobby Lobby, announced a purchase of a Biblical artefact—a fragment of papyrus carrying lines from Paul's letter to the Romans, and dated to the second century CE. Noted scholar Roberta Mazza was stunned. When was this piece discovered, and how could Green acquire such a rare item? The answers, which Mazza spent the next ten years uncovering, came as a shock: the fragment had come from a famous collection held at Oxford University, and its rightful owners had no idea it had been sold. 
     
     
     
    The letter to the Romans was not the only extraordinary piece in the Green collection. They soon announced newly recovered fragments from the Gospels and writings of Sappho. Mazza's quest to confirm the provenance of these priceless fragments revealed shadowy global networks that make big business of ancient manuscripts. 
     
     
     
    Mazza's investigation forces us to ask what happens when the supposed custodians of our ancient heritage act in ways that threaten to destroy it. Stolen Fragments illuminates how these recent dealings are not isolated events, but the inevitable result of longstanding colonial practices and the outcome of generations of scholars who have profited from extracting the cultural heritage of places they claim they wish to preserve. Where is the boundary between protection and exploitation?
