Sinopse

GE2020: an election that should not be forgotten for yielding startling outcomes, including the appointment of the first Leader of the Opposition. 
 
 
Voting in a Time of Change is part of a longitudinal study by editors Kevin YL Tan and Terence Lee, who have been assembling trenchant analyses of each General Election by leading academics and commentators since GE2011. Their long game makes possible specific and unique insights. Of GE2020, this is what they have to say: 
 
 
“The major political shift in Singapore that started in 2011 is marching on, even amidst a Covid-19 pandemic that was to have been a great disrupter. Whether we call this a ‘New Normal’ – as many did back in 2011 – or otherwise is not as important as the momentum for change that has built up since then. Covid-19 thus became a political backdrop to a social and political shift that was merely searching for a catalyst.” 
 
 
What insights and lessons can we carry forward to the next General Elections? This is an indispensable milestone publication for citizens who wish to commit to even more informed choices, and for political observers who are keeping close tabs on the evolution of our political landscape.

    All Roads Led to Gettysburg - A...

    It has long been a trope of Civil War history that Gettysburg was an accidental battlefield. Troy D. Harman argues for a new interpretation: once Lee invaded Pennsylvania and the Union army pursued, a battle at Gettysburg was entirely predictable, perhaps inevitable. 
     
     
     
    Most Civil War battles took place along major roads, railroads, and waterways. And yet this perspective hasn't been fully explored when it comes to Gettysburg. 
     
     
     
    Moreover, once the battle started, Harman argues, the blue and gray fought tactically for the two creeks that mark the battlefield in the east and the west as well as for the roadways that led to Gettysburg from all points of the compass. This is a perspective often overlooked in many accounts of the battle, which focus on the high ground—the Round Tops, Cemetery Hill—as key tactical objectives. 
     
     
     
    Gettysburg Ranger and historian Troy Harman draws on a lifetime of researching the Civil War and more than thirty years of studying the terrain of Gettysburg and south-central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland to reframe the story of the Battle of Gettysburg. In the process he shows there's still much to say about one of history's most written-about battles.

    A Book That Will Change the Way You See the World 
    What if everything you've been taught is only part of the story? What if the truth lies not in what we already know, but in what we dare to imagine? This book invites you to think beyond boundaries—to look past what science alone can explain, and open your mind to deeper questions about life, human nature, and the world we share. 
    Written in clear, everyday language, this isn't a book for scholars or specialists—it's a book for everyone. For the curious, the thoughtful, and the open-minded. For those who sense there's more to life than routines and rules. It challenges you to reflect, to rethink, and to rediscover what it means to be human. 
    This book begins with science—its triumphs, its insights, and the way it shapes our lives. But it doesn't stop there. It leads into something far more profound: a conversation about values, belief, society, and our place in a living, breathing universe. It asks not only what we know, but how we live—and whether we are living with awareness, responsibility, and compassion. 
    Inside, you'll find:A message that speaks to all of humanity, across belief systems and borders.A journey that connects scientific understanding with emotional truth and spiritual insight.Personal reflections, honest thoughts, and a call to awaken your own sense of purpose. 
    You don't need to agree with everything inside. You just need the courage to explore. To read with an open heart. And to let the ideas meet your own life in whatever way they will. 
    This book is for seekers, not followers. For those who aren't satisfied with easy answers, and who believe that real change starts with the way we think.

    Verbal abuse involves making negative, defining statements about a person or withholding responses to diminish their presence. Essentially, it means belittling, insulting, or patronizing someone, or gossiping behind their back. 
      
    When the abuser fails to apologize or retract their harmful statements, the relationship may be characterized by verbal abuse. Such abuse is often driven by underlying anger, which fuels and sustains the abusive behavior. 
      
    In schools and everyday life, verbal abuse, often accompanied by physical bullying, serves to elevate the abuser's status over their target and to rally others against the victim. Typically, the bully may not know any other way to connect with others emotionally.
