Sinopsis

In "Jules of the Great Heart," Lawrence Mott weaves a compelling narrative that explores the life of Jules, a free trapper and outlaw navigating the rugged Hudson Bay region during its formative years. Combining historical fact with richly drawn characterizations, Mott employs a vivid literary style that blends adventure with introspective reflection, immersing readers in the untamed landscape of early North American wilderness. Through meticulous research, Mott reconstructs a nuanced period marked by cultural tensions, economic opportunities, and the quest for personal freedom, creating a tapestry that reflects the larger themes of exploitation and survival inherent in American frontier life. Lawrence Mott, an accomplished historian and writer with deep roots in American frontier studies, draws upon his extensive knowledge of the era to breathe life into this richly realized tale. His passion for the rugged terrain and complex interactions among its diverse inhabitants informs his portrayal of Jules. Mott'Äôs background in anthropology and history'Äîcoupled with personal interests in the narratives of outlaws and adventurers'Äîinformed his choice to focus on a character who embodies both rebellion and resilience against an evolving landscape. I highly recommend "Jules of the Great Heart" to readers interested in captivating historical narratives that not only entertain but also provide profound insights into the human condition. Mott's masterful storytelling and keen attention to historical detail will appeal to both history enthusiasts and fiction lovers alike, offering a riveting glimpse into a pivotal time in North American history.

    In the 75th anniversary year of the sinking of the Lisbon Maru, A FAITHFUL RECORD OF THE LISBON MARU INCIDENT is a recent translation from an original Chinese publication covering an important chapter in Hong Kong’s wartime history. It gives details of the Lisbon Maru Incident of 1942, seen through the eyes of the Chinese fishermen who rescued hundreds of British prisoners of war from Hong Kong, whose ship had been torpedoed. The Japanese had tried to keep them in the holds as the ship sank so that they would drown, and then shot at them as they tried to escape. These courageous fishermen not only prevented hundreds more deaths, they also hid three prisoners under the noses of the Japanese until they could be sent secretly on a journey across more than 1,000 miles of China to reach Chongqing, from where they could tell the world what had happened. The book also recounts the visit to Zhoushan in 2005 of one of the survivors of the sinking and his emotional reunion with those who saved him; as well as a visit to Hong Kong in the same year of the last few remaining fishermen who had taken part in the rescue.

    Since ancient times, the Hindus have had a lunisolar cycle based on the combination of solar and lunar years, determined by the course of the sun and the moon, but with the lunar year beginning near the solar year. Exactly how their earliest Calendar was arranged remains a mystery. Our focus is on the current form of their Calendar, developed around 400 under the influence of Greek astronomy and introduced into India at no long time. 
    There are two kinds of Hindu years, solar and lunar.  
    To understand the lunar Calendar, we will first explain the solar year, which governs the lunisolar system. Bengal, including Madras's Orissa, Tamil, and Malayalam districts, used solar years for civil purposes. General religious rites and festivals are regulated by the lunar year and the details of private and domestic life, such as choosing auspicious occasions for marriages and journeys, choosing lucky moments for shaving, etc. Almanacs that follow the lunar year contain details about the solar year, such as the sun's course through the zodiac signs. Despite following the solar year, almanacs include lunar year details.

    Urban disasters have become an increasingly pressing concern as the world continues to urbanize at an unprecedented rate. Cities, once seen as bastions of opportunity and progress, are now at the forefront of vulnerability to both natural and human-made catastrophes. The rapid growth of urban populations, coupled with poorly planned infrastructure and environmental challenges, has created a precarious landscape where the impact of disasters can be catastrophic. 
    One of the primary drivers of urban disaster risk is the sheer scale of urbanization. By 2050, it is estimated that nearly 70% of the world’s population will reside in urban areas. This rapid urban migration often leads to the expansion of informal settlements, where millions live in overcrowded conditions with inadequate access to basic services such as clean water, sanitation, and healthcare. These areas, typically located in hazard-prone zones like floodplains and unstable hillsides, are particularly vulnerable to disasters. When disasters strike, the lack of preparedness and resilience in these communities amplifies the loss of life and property. 
    Climate change further exacerbates the threat of urban disasters. Rising global temperatures are intensifying the frequency and severity of natural hazards, such as hurricanes, floods, heatwaves, and wildfires. Coastal cities, home to millions, face increasing risks from sea level rise and storm surges, threatening vital infrastructure and displacing large populations. Additionally, the interconnected nature of urban systems means that the failure of one critical system, such as electricity or transportation, can cascade into widespread disruptions, leaving cities paralyzed in the wake of a disaster.
