Summary

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.

Add college basketball to that list, and you have yourself a superfecta. Looking beyond these time-honored traditions, however, visitors will find in Kentucky a diverse patchwork of faces and places, each as unique as the state's geography.Kentucky, Y'all is an entertaining and informative compilation of the state's favorite oddities, cultural quirks, traditions, and rites of passage.

    One overlooked figure in the Punic Wars is Hamilcar Barca, who is now best remembered for being Hannibal’s father. However, before Hannibal marched out of Spain, it was Hamilcar who had positioned forces there, and he was already a significant historical figure in his own right. Indeed, had it not been for his death, his legacy likely would have been more important than that of his illustrious son, who is now remembered as one of history’s greatest generals.  
	In the history of war, only a select few men always make the list of greatest generals. Napoleon. Caesar. Alexander. They are always joined by Hannibal, who has the distinction of being the only man who nearly brought Rome to its knees before its decline almost 700 years later. Rome never suffered a more horrifying defeat in its history than at Cannae, and indeed, Hannibal nearly rewrote the course of Western history during the Second Punic War. Even today there remains great debate on just how he accomplished his masterful invasion of Italy across the Alps. Since his army included war elephants, historians still argue over exactly where and how he crossed over 2,000 years after he managed that incredible feat.  
	Although the Romans gained the upper hand in the wake of the First Punic War, Hannibal brought the Romans to their knees for over a decade during the Second Punic War. While military historians are still amazed that he was able to maintain his army in Italy near Rome for nearly 15 years, scholars are still puzzled over some of his decisions, including why he never attempted to march on Rome in the first place. Hannibal will always be listed among history’s greatest generals, and his military campaign in Italy during the Second Punic War will always be studied, but part of the aura and mystique surrounding the Carthaginian legend is that there is still a lot of mystery.

    This recording contains four addresses of Felix Adler (1851-1933) concerning spirituality from the perspective of Ethical Culture, an educational and religious movement founded and first led by Adler, based on the belief that living in accordance with ethical principles is central to a meaningful and fulfilling life. – Lee Smalley “Spirituality is morality carried out to the finish….The ultimate end (of spirituality) itself is to elicit worth in others, and, by so doing, in one's self. The indispensable condition of this attitude is to ascribe worth to every human being before even we observe it, to cast as it were a mantle of glory over him, to take toward every fellow human being the expectant attitude, to seek the worth in him until we find it. 
 
Felix Adler was a German American professor of political and social ethics, rationalist, influential lecturer on euthanasia, religious leader, and social reformer.

    Forget GDP, and focus instead on living standards, people’s ability to get what they want. When you do that you’ll see why, contrary to universal belief, capitalism helps the living standards of the less well-off much more than those of the rich. You’ll also see why no matter who or what the government taxes, or even if it taxes nobody, nearly the entire cost of government is paid for in the form of reduced living standards for the poor or anyone else on a tight budget. 
Despite covering serious issues that affect the lives of everyone, the book is designed to be easy and entertaining even for those who know little about economics. That’s because the laws of economics are ultimately based on universal aspects of human nature. If you are a human, you’ll get it.
