Synopsis

Tokugawa Rule explores how the Tokugawa Shogunate transformed Japan from a warring state into a realm of extended peace and stability, lasting from 1603 to 1868. It examines the shogunate's strategies, including strict social and political policies, a system of national isolation known as sakoku, and economic manipulation to consolidate power.

 
One intriguing aspect was the rigid social hierarchy, where each class had specific roles and expectations. Another was the sankin-kotai system, where regional lords were required to spend alternate years in Edo, effectively acting as hostages.

 
The book presents a cohesive analysis of the key factors that contributed to the shogunate's longevity. It begins by setting the stage with Japan's pre-Tokugawa political landscape and then delves into the establishment of the bakuhan system, a dual structure of central shogunate control and regional domain governance. Progressing through the core tenets of Tokugawa rule, it examines social policies, the impact of sakoku, and the shogunate's economic strategies. Finally, it analyzes the internal and external pressures that led to the Meiji Restoration, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of this formative period in Japanese history.

Teaching of the Heart The:...

Zinovya Dushkova

The Teaching of the Heart has been given to Mankind as a Great Revelation of the Cosmic Light Forces standing guard over not only the planet Earth, but the entire Solar System too. The Messengers of Distant Worlds and unknown star systems, the Masers of Wisdom have Revealed the secret Treasures of Shambhala to you that store secret scrolls since time immemorial. And when the Dates are imminent, Mankind is endowed with the wise knowledge that Their chosen Messenger begins to spread around the world, putting them into the form of the Teachings of Light. Previous Doctrines focused mostly on the mental body — the human mind. But at the junction of two epochs, a Terrible Hour came for the Earth, the position of the heavenly bodies changed, energies of unprecedented Strength are directed towards our planet. The most powerful streams of Fire are pouring out of the unknown depths of the Universe, threatening to incinerate all life on our long–suffering earth. And only a loving human Heart, which keeps a spark of Divine Light and performs Service of the Forces of Good, can accept and assimilate those healing currents.
The Call of the Heart is a book that opens like a Royal Gateway, inviting you to step into other spheres where Just Cosmic Laws rule. Those who have managed to ascend the steps of Transfiguration and become truly Godlike already live in this world! The currents of Immortality are embedded in each line of the Teaching of the Heart, in every book, all of which are united by an invisible Fiery thread. Nevertheless, your kind hearts, like priceless diamonds, will begin to acquire new Luminous facets after reading and listening to these books, and — what is the most important — after applying the Advices given by the Greatest Masters of Mankind.
Good luck on the Way of the Heart! And blessed be those who hear the Call of the Heart of the Creator!

Independent Nation: Should Wales...

Will Hayward

"A brilliant, insightful primer … A must-read for anyone interested in the future of this country, whatever their view." – Matt Chorley
"A thorough investigation." – Carwyn Jones, First Minister of Wales 2009–2018
"An accessible and refreshing read, whichever side of the debate you are on." – Leanne Wood, leader of Plaid Cymru 2012–2018
"This is a comprehensive, intelligent and much-needed guide to the issues from one of Wales's leading journalists." – Richard Sambrook, emeritus professor at Cardiff University, former director of BBC News
"Highly recommended." – Martin Shipton, political editor-at-large, Western Mail
"Lucid and compelling." – Professor Richard Wyn Jones, director of Cardiff University's Wales Governance Centre
"An engaging and clear-eyed analysis of what is at stake when we talk about independence for Wales." – Mark Blyth, director of the William R. Rhodes Center for International Economics and Finance, Brown University
***
Should Wales leave the UK? It's a conversation that has – unfairly – been all but disregarded by many, including some of the Welsh themselves, with all the focus on their Celtic cousins in Scotland. But independence movements are gaining momentum across Europe, and Wales will be a key voice in these debates. Support for Welsh autonomy is at an all-time high, with the latest polls suggesting as many as one in three are in favour. This is not just unprecedented; it is all but revolutionary.
Scotland's 2014 referendum taught us that once the independence genie is out of the bottle, it does not go back in. Meanwhile, the Brexit campaign demonstrated that these arguments come with inflated claims, misinformation and scaremongering that can easily poison a complex debate.
In Independent Nation, Will Hayward brings nuance back to the arena for this crucial national conversation. Brimming with interviews from experts and painting a detailed, colourful picture of the realities of life in Wales – from extreme poverty and disconnected infrastructure to expensive urban regeneration and cafés of Gavin and Stacey fame – this is an open-eyed look at the truths and falsehoods around the country's future. Impartial, informed and thoroughly entertaining, Independent Nation raises the standard of debate around an issue that will affect us all.

The Saved and the Spurned -...

Noel Russell

For several months before World War II, hundreds of persecuted Jews, mainly from Nazi-occupied Vienna, tried to escape to Northern Ireland. They had learned of a Stormont job-creation scheme to tackle the region's chronic unemployment by offering financial support to skilled professionals.
Almost all applicants were rejected, and more than 125 of these men, women and children were murdered in the Holocaust.
Based on extensive archival research, unpublished family memoirs and letters, and interviews with survivors and their descendants, this extraordinary book describes the applicants' desperate efforts to save their families and themselves, and highlights the tireless work done by committed Northern Irish people to rescue them. It also explores how the small numbers of refugees admitted made a major contribution to Northern Ireland's economic, social and cultural life that continues to this day.
