Sinopsis

This two-volume edition was written by an American historian Justin Harvey Smith, specialist on the Mexican-American War. For his exceptional work Smith was awarded with Pulitzer Prize for History.Aseveryone understands, the conflict with Mexico has been almost entirely eclipsed by the greater wars following it. But in the field of thought mere size does not count for much; and while the number of troops and the lists of casualties give the present subject little comparative importance, it has ample grounds for claiming attention.

    This book explores why there is a major war again in Europe. Putin's actions need to be understood if not forgiven. With the Ukraine conflict seen as a proxy war of NATO versus Russia, how likely is the fighting to spread? 
     
     
     
    The author, a highly respected journalist and political commentator, explains why Russia invaded a sovereign neighbor. To what extent did NATO's expansion to Russia's borders in the aftermath of the Cold War provoke Putin? Did the West's recent humiliating defeats in the Middle East and South Asia encourage Putin to exploit what he saw as its decadent strategic weakness and lack of resolve? What were the reasons for Russia's savage behavior in Ukraine? How might the Ukraine war end and what will the post-bellum world look like? 
     
     
     
    The war in Ukraine has had worldwide impact with cost of living, food and energy crises, and raised the risk of nuclear Armageddon by accident or intent. It examines the complex military and political issues in layman's language while the story is told as a compelling historical narrative. 
     
     
     
    Professor Moorcraft, who has worked in Ukraine and has witnessed Russian troops in action in Afghanistan, is superbly qualified to write this work.

    THINK! YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. 
    'Thinking' is what we use to navigate life. It is the lens through which we see the world. Thoughts determine the quality of our lives; they determine its problems and its achievements, Work, success, relationships, happiness, everything depends on the way we think. Yet, have we ever investigated it? Why is our life the way it is? Have we searched for the answers in our own thoughts? 
    It makes sense to periodically review our thinking and thus re-adjust our navigation to achieve the results we seek. When our thoughts are set right, problems are solved and goals achieved. 
    How do we know what we know? How do we verify what we think? How do we improve our thinking? Epistemology or the theory of knowledge helps us. 
    This book analyses thoughts through an interesting amalgamation of such diverse subjects as Indian epistemology, Vedanta and mythology: and Western psychology, logic and literature. 
    Let us review our thoughts. Know how we think and how to improve that thinking. Think right to accelerate life. 
    After all, our life is the story we tell ourselves.

  • Depression VS Laziness - 6 Indicators You’re Struggling with More than Fatigue - cover

    Depression VS Laziness - 6...

    In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to mistake symptoms of depression for laziness. The pressure to stay productive and achieve more can make anyone feel inadequate when they struggle with daily tasks. But while both laziness and depression can result in a lack of motivation or energy, they stem from very different causes and have vastly different implications. Recognizing the difference between the two is essential for self-compassion and for seeking the proper help and treatment. 
      
    Laziness is often associated with a lack of desire to do things, simply choosing to avoid effort or responsibility. It can be seen as a personal failing or a bad habit, something that can be corrected by willpower and discipline. However, the concept of laziness often oversimplifies the complex reasons people may avoid action. Many factors, including fear, perfectionism, or lack of structure, can contribute to this behavior. 
      
    Depression, on the other hand, is a mental health condition that goes far beyond feeling "lazy." It's characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. Depression can impact every aspect of life, including sleep, appetite, and the ability to concentrate. Unlike laziness, which is typically seen as a temporary choice, depression can cause deep, overwhelming fatigue that can make even the most basic tasks feel insurmountable.
