More than simple objects of vanity, mirrors have played a crucial role in shaping our understanding of both the universe and ourselves. The book explores how mirrors evolved from ancient pools of water to sophisticated scientific instruments, tracing technological advancements in mirror-making. One intriguing fact is that early mirrors were often associated with divination and ritual practices, highlighting their cultural significance beyond mere reflection. Exploring the cultural significance of mirrors across different societies, the book also details their instrumental role in scientific progress. Mirrors and Reflection examines how mirrors are indispensable in telescopes, lasers, and medical imaging. This comprehensive approach sets this book apart, weaving together technological history, cultural analysis, and scientific applications. The book starts by establishing a historical context, then investigates the development of mirror-making technologies, and culminates in examining the modern applications of mirrors in science.

    It is unclear if U.S. policy makers and military leaders fully realize that we have already been thrust into an artificial intelligence race with authoritarian powers. The United States' peer adversaries—China and Russia—have made clear their intentions to make major investments in AI and insert this technology into their military systems, sensors, and weapons. Algorithms of Armageddon examines this most pressing security issue in a clear, insightful delivery by two experts. 
     
     
     
    The authors cover in depth debates surrounding the AI "genie out of the bottle" controversy, AI arms races, and the resulting impact on policy and the laws of war. Given that global powers are leading large-scale development of AI, it is likely that use of this technology will be global in extent. Will AI-enabled military weapons systems lead to full-scale global war? The later chapters of the work explore these questions, point to the possibility of humans failing to control military AI applications, and conclude that the dangers for the United States are real. 
     
     
     
    Neither a protest against AI, nor a speculative work on how AI could replace humans, Algorithms of Armageddon provides a time-critical understanding of why AI is being implemented through state weaponization, the realities for the global power balance, and more importantly, U.S. national security.

    A biography chronicling one man’s service during World War II as a Royal Navy commander and his career before & after in the tea business. Jake Wright’s initiation to war was on the beach at Dunkirk, helping evacuate stragglers. Then volunteering for Motor Torpedo Boats, he served with valor throughout World War II, becoming one of only forty-four officers in WWII to receive a DSC with two Bars . . . Derek Wright learned about small boats from his father, who tragically died when Derek was just fourteen years old. Sent away from his family to finish his education, he left school at sixteen to join the global tea trade. Soon after he finished his training with Brooke Bond, famous for their “Dividend” tea, Hitler invaded Poland and Britain was at war. By then known to his friends as “Jake,” he was one of the first Volunteer Reserves to be called up to fight for his country. Plucked from his naval training in HMS King Alfred, his warfighting initiation was on the beach at Dunkirk, helping evacuate stragglers after Operation DYNAMO. He then volunteered for Motor Torpedo Boats, where he served with valor and distinction. While Hitler’s U-Boats were torpedoing shipments of tea bound for Great Britain, Jake Wright reciprocated by torpedoing Axis coastal shipping off Europe. His first Command was MTB 331, trained for a daredevil mission to puncture German boom defenses protecting their battleships. In his next Command, MTB 32, he was wounded in action whilst torpedoing a German convoy, but kept his small ship fighting against the odds to win the action and sink his enemy; for his bravery he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. Further acts of gallantry in action, combined with tactical innovation, saw him earn two bars to his DSC as well as a Mention in Despatches; he became one of only forty-four officers in the Second World War to receive a DSC with two Bars. After demobilization he returned to the tea trade, rising to become one of Brooke Bond’s senior directors supplying Britain’s beloved beverage. He even helped refine how to make the perfect cup of tea. This is the life story of a determined, brave, innovative, and decorated officer who has earned a place in the hearts of our nation. It is the story of Derek “Jake” Wright, DSC**.Praise for Torpedoes, Tea, and Medals “A must read . . . an enthralling look at motor torpedo boat operations off the coast of France and Belgium during World War II.” —Naval Historical Foundation “Wright clearly had a really action-packed war and this book skillfully combines his coastal forces experiences with his influential role in the tea business.” —Captain Andrew Welch, FNI, Royal Navy Retired

    The Mandela Effect is a psychological phenomenon in which large groups of people remember an event, fact, or detail differently from documented reality. The term originates from a widespread belief that Nelson Mandela died in prison during the 1980s, despite historical records confirming his release in 1990 and later presidency of South Africa. Since then, the Mandela Effect has come to describe various collective false memories, ranging from misremembered movie quotes to altered brand logos and even significant historical events. While some view it as mere confusion or misinformation, others see it as evidence of alternate realities or shifts in consciousness.  
    The phenomenon gained widespread recognition through the internet, where individuals began sharing their experiences of remembering things differently than historical records suggest. Social media platforms, online forums, and viral discussions have amplified these false memories, making them more widespread and reinforcing the belief that something unusual is occurring. Many people report feeling unsettled upon discovering that their memories do not align with reality, further fueling speculation about the cause. Some theories suggest that quantum physics, parallel universes, or glitches in reality could be responsible. Others argue that the Mandela Effect is a result of how human memory works, shaped by cognitive biases and external influences.  
    Memory is not a perfect recording of past events; rather, it is a reconstructive process that can be influenced by suggestion, misinformation, and group reinforcement. Psychological research has shown that memories can be distorted over time, leading to the formation of collective false memories.
