Sinopse

In "The Crisis of the Naval War: British Royal Navy in World War I," John Rushworth Jellicoe offers a meticulous examination of the Royal Navy's strategic operations during the Great War. Written with a blend of firsthand experience and analytical rigor, Jellicoe's prose combines narrative clarity with tactical detail, illuminating crucial events such as the Battle of Jutland. As a primary source from a pivotal wartime figure, the book situates Jellicoe's perspectives within the broader context of military strategy and naval history, reflecting on the challenges faced by naval leadership amid unprecedented global conflict. Jellicoe, who served as the commander of the Grand Fleet, draws upon his unique insights and experiences to illuminate the complexities of naval warfare. His firsthand involvement in key naval engagements, alongside his eventual shift into governmental roles, uniquely qualifies him to dissect the nuances of naval command. His upbringing in an era marked by rapid naval innovation and geopolitical tensions further fuels his engagement with the pressing issues of strategy and leadership during wartime. This work is an essential read for anyone interested in naval history, military strategy, or World War I. Jellicoe's authoritative voice provides not only a comprehensive analysis of the Royal Navy's wartime actions but also valuable lessons on command and decision-making that resonate with contemporary strategic studies.

    An introduction to Eastern storytelling that opens listeners' minds to radically different ways of telling a satisfying story. 
     
     
     
    Discussions in the West around diversity in the arts often focus on the identities of characters and creators. Speculative fiction author and writing instructor Henry Lien makes the pathbreaking argument that diversity is about more than just plopping different faces into stories that are 100 percent Western in spirit; it can—and should—encompass diverse structures, themes, and values. 
     
     
     
    Using examples ranging from Parasite to The Thousand and One Nights to the Mario video game franchise, Lien shows how storytelling staples in the West, such as the three-act structure and themes of empowerment and change, are far from universal. He introduces the East Asian four-act structure (kishotenketsu), as well as circular and nested structures, and explains how Eastern value systems such as collectivism can dictate form. Spring, Summer, Asteroid, Bird is essential for any writer or reader who wants to broaden their understanding of how to tell a satisfying story.

    Many individuals – especially of non-white heritage – are suspended in an identity limbo. The need to divide and separate our lives, even ourselves, into neat boxes means that many British-born people with no ties to their parental culture are left adrift within our society. This is Anne East's experience.
    Neither able to claim one culture as her own or be fully accepted by all groups within British society as the Brit she is, it's a no man's land of cultural loss. In No Man's Land, Anne explores this chasm in more detail, how it is to feel one thing and yet be perceived as another, the emotions felt within this limbo, and why culture truly matters. More so, she considers how this has manifested through history, and the British Empire, with focus on the often unheard or ignored impacts on those of East and Southeast Asian heritage.

    Given the growing success of this book, first published in 2009 and then updated in 2014, this third edition has been fully revised and updated by the author, incorporating the latest expressions of social chaos, instrumentalized by the powers that be for the past eight years.
    How to become the masters of the world in the age of the Internet? The good-old method of the pyromaniac fireman still works. Renamed “shock strategy” or social engineering, it consists of plunging populations into crisis and anguish to better centralize order and power in the hands of an oligarchy usurping the identity of the savior. In the twentieth century, politics has moved from the art of persuasion to technical issues of hacking minds and optimizing group management. To that end, several disciplines and approaches are applied—cybernetics, marketing, management—to trap the masses into organized chaos, while they try to respond to the panic provoked by a transhumanist computer dictatorship based on biometrics, the all-digital, the vaccine pass, and eventually the suppression of cash and privacy.
