Synopsis

Himalayan Kingdoms explores the captivating history of isolated societies nestled in the Himalayas, revealing how geography shaped their unique cultures and interactions with the world. These kingdoms, including Bhutan, Nepal, and Sikkim, strategically navigated regional conflicts and external pressures to preserve their autonomy. Intriguingly, the Silk Road played a dual role, connecting these societies through trade and cultural exchange, while also exposing them to potential conflicts. This book emphasizes the resilience of cultural identities and the strategic importance of the region as a crossroads for trade and power.

 
The book unfolds by first introducing the geographical and cultural landscape of the Himalayas, setting the stage for understanding historical developments. It then examines key kingdoms, detailing their histories, social structures, and cultural practices. Next, it analyzes external pressures from empires and nations, and the strategies these kingdoms employed to maintain their autonomy. Finally, the book explores the modern legacies of these kingdoms, considering their ongoing struggles to preserve their cultural identities in an era of globalization.

 
By integrating historical analysis with cultural sensitivity and geopolitical awareness, Himalayan Kingdoms offers a multifaceted perspective on the region's past and present.

    Sunset, 8 June 1982, East Falkland. Eight specially trained Royal Marines infiltrate Goat Ridge, a long rocky hilltop between Mount Harriet and Two Sisters which are occupied by a battalion of 600 Argentine infantry. Their daring mission was to hide out in hostile territory, reconnoiter the Argentine position and then report back. From their hiding place just metres away from the enemy, they note and sketch the Argentine positions, then withdraw as stealthily as they had come. Their daring patrol provides essential intelligence that guided the British assault which overwhelmed the Argentine defences two days later.This was just one example of the missions undertaken by the Royal Marines Mountain and Arctic Warfare Cadre during the Falklands War, all of which are described in graphic detail in Rod Boswell's eyewitness account. Using his own recollections and those of his comrades, he describes their operations in the Falklands - the observation posts set up in the no man's land between San Carlos and Port Stanley, their role in the raid at Top Malo House, and the reconnaissance patrols they carried out close to the Argentine lines during the conflict.This celebrated first-hand account gives a fascinating insight into the operational skills of a small, specially trained unit and shows the important contribution it made to the success of the British advance. It also records the entire experience of the Falklands War from their point of view - the long voyage south through the Atlantic, the landings, the advance and the liberation of Stanley.For fans of Goose Green, Fighting for Queen and Country and First into Action.

    Optimize your life using science-backed advice and discover how to get your brain working at peak efficiency.   We all know how to nudge our brains to perform better. A strong cup of coffee helps us get through a dull meeting, and a brisk walk helps us think more clearly. But what if some nudges could optimise how we focus, create and process information even more effectively, to take mental performance to new heights?   Today, most office workers are expected to operate with industrial-era efficiency. Yet the work that matters most in our technology-dominated workplace – generating brilliant ideas, solving complex problems, and learning – can’t be manufactured like outputs on an assembly line. Instead, we need a new, HYPEREFFICIENT way of working: rather than imposing the rhythms of work on our brains, Dr. Mithu Storoni proposes we impose the rhythm of our brains on our work. Storoni explains that our brains function like a car’s engine, with multiple gears that put our brains in optimal mode for different mental challenges. Drawing on the latest research, she shows us how to seamlessly shift our brains into the best gear for the tasks we need to be doing, so we can perform at our best throughout the day, every day.
