Sinopsis

In his reflective work "Happiness," Karl Hilty delves into the profound dimensions of human contentment, blending philosophical inquiry with practical wisdom. His literary style is marked by clarity and intimacy, engaging readers with a conversational yet erudite tone. Hilty explores the nuances of happiness through a tapestry of personal anecdotes and broader cultural observations, situating his arguments within the context of early 20th-century thought, which sought to balance individual fulfillment with societal expectations. His keen insights invite readers to ponder not only the pursuit of happiness but also the moral and ethical frameworks that underpin it. Karl Hilty, a Swiss philosopher and educator, drew inspiration from his own life experiences in crafting this seminal text. Having navigated the complexities of personal and professional life, he profoundly understood the interplay between external circumstances and internal states of being. His dedication to education and moral philosophy informed his thoughts about happiness, making him a significant voice in discussions surrounding human well-being during his time. This book is an essential read for anyone intrigued by the philosophical underpinnings of happiness and its relevance in contemporary society. Hilty's reflections not only resonate with the quest for personal fulfillment but also challenge readers to consider their own definitions of happiness in a rapidly changing world. Engage with "Happiness" to discover pathways to contentment grounded in thoughtful reflection and ethical living.

    Become the flute. I need to become the flute. 
    A rare opportunity—private music lessons with my professor. 
    His teaching methods are unconventional. He stands behind me, arms wrapped around my frail body while he guides my trembling fingers. The tight chastity cage in my underwear is a constant reminder of what we’ve done… 
    To become skilled, he says I need to become one with the instrument. I need to let his music flow into my brain. 
    Becoming the instrument…becoming an object. 
    Flutes don’t think. They just sit with an open hole, waiting for a man to breathe inside.

    Over the course of its history, England has engaged in an uncountable number of battles, but none of her military heroes has had a greater military legacy than Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, 1st Duke of Bronté. Whether traveling to Trafalgar Square or one of the hundreds of pubs named after him, seemingly it becomes easy to believe that no Briton has cast as long a shadow. Nelson is known across the world for his decisive victory at Trafalgar, made all the more legendary by the fact that he was mortally wounded at the height of his greatest feat. And it is understandable that any man who could thwart Napoleon’s ambitions as well as Nelson did would earn a place in the history books. But Nelson embodied every virtue of his homeland as a dashing, courageous military officer who was impeccably cultured, and the best at what he did. Indeed, as the personification of the supremacy of the Royal Navy, the man and his life had a powerful resonance well before his death. 
    Before Trafalgar, Nelson had already earned enduring fame for the British victory at the Battle of the Nile. In 1798, he was given command of a small squadron and sent ahead to Gibraltar, and eventually given instructions to hunt down and destroy Napoleon’s fleet. Indeed, the coming battle was the battle of annihilation Nelson had sought – of 13 French battleships engaged, 2 were destroyed and 9 were captured. British losses were negligible, with no ships lost and about 900 killed or wounded. French casualties were at least 2,000, with thousands more captured. The French Mediterranean fleet had been wiped out, and Napoleon’s expeditionary force was now stranded. 
    With Nelson’s decisive victory, the Royal Navy had once again asserted itself as the dominant power in the Mediterranean. At the same time, Nelson’s inability to intercept Napoleon at sea allowed the French transports and ground forces to survive unscathed, and they eventually made their way back to France.

    World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. This book follows military operations of the US Army in France from 16 December 1944 to 25 January 1945. 
    In his political testament Mein Kampf ("My Struggle") Adolf Hitler wrote, "Strength lies not in defense but in attack." Throughout World War II, attempts to gain or regain the initiative had characterized Hitler's influence on military operations. Thus, when the military situation in late 1944 looked darkest on the Western Front, an enemy offensive to redress the balance on the battlefield—and thereby cripple or delay the Allied advance—should have come as no surprise.
    Hitler's great gamble began during the nights of 13, 14, and 15 December, when the initial assault force of German armor, artillery, and infantry gradually staged forward to attack positions along the Belgian-German-Luxembourg border. This mustered force, with more than 200,000 men in thirteen infantry and seven panzer divisions and with nearly 1,000 tanks and almost 2,000 guns, deployed along a front of 60 miles—its operational armor holdings equaling that on the entire Eastern Front. Five more divisions moved forward in a second wave, while still others, equipped with at least 450 more tanks, followed in reserve.
    On the Allied side the threatened American sector appeared quiet. The 15 December daily situation report for the VIII Corps, which lay in the path of two of Hitler's armies, noted: "There is nothing to report." This illusion would soon be shattered.

    In the critical essays collected in Black Looks, bell hooks interrogates old narratives and argues for alternative ways to look at blackness, black subjectivity, and whiteness. Her focus is on spectatorship—in particular, the way blackness and black people are experienced in literature, music, television, and especially film—and her aim is to create a radical intervention into the way we talk about race and representation. As she describes: "the essays in Black Looks are meant to challenge and unsettle, to disrupt and subvert." As students, scholars, activists, intellectuals, and any others who have engaged with the book since its original release in 1992 can attest, that's exactly what these pieces do.
