Tokugawa Rule

Sinopse

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.

We Agnostics: How William James...

Paul Schulte

Bill Wilson was a washed up Wall Street analyst after the Great Crash of 1929 who was dying of alcoholism and decided to clean up. He read “Varieties off Religious Experience” by eminent Harvard Professor William James (whose own brother had died of alcoholism). The rest, as they say, is history and the result was what Aldous Huxley called the most Important social movement of the 20th century. This book weaves together brief excerpts from James’ book (which had radical ideas about spirituality being an end to itself and mostly separate from religion) with the writings of Bill Wilson to show how the two men’s thinking interacted to create the 12 Step movement. It sheds light on the profound influence James had on early 20th Century Agnosticism. It is solid analysis of James’ important contribution to American Spiritualism. Most of all, though, it is a reflection on the 12 Steps of AA & a meditation on what ‘Higher Power’ means. It is a soothing hot soak in the great writing of two men who developed a way out of the soul sickness that is addiction. They both saw spirituality as separate from religion which arises from the basic human need for some private higher power during moments of self-despair. The relief that comes makes life larger, allows us (finally) to belong and offers dignity — for alcoholics or those who live with alcoholics. It works. It really does. Read a sentence or a page per day. This book is a journey of reflection and meditation.

What a Bloody Awful Country -...

Kevin Meagher

"Highly readable" – Irish News
"A gripping appraisal of Northern Ireland's turbulent first century. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how we have got to where we are today." – Suzanne Breen, Belfast Telegraph
"A timely and lucid analysis of the Troubles that asks hard questions of successive British governments. The good news for the current government is that it also offers some answers." – Rory Carroll, The Guardian
***
"For God's sake, bring me a large Scotch. What a bloody awful country!" Home Secretary Reginald Maudling, returning from his first visit to Northern Ireland in 1970
As a long and bloody guerrilla war staggered to a close on the island of Ireland, Britain beat a retreat from all but a small portion of the country – and thus, in 1921, Northern Ireland was born.
That partition, says Kevin Meagher, has been an unmitigated disaster for Nationalists and Unionists alike. Following the fraught history of British rule in Ireland, a better future was there for the taking but was lost amid political paralysis, while the resulting fifty years of devolution succeeded only in creating a brooding sectarian stalemate that exploded into the Troubles.
In a stark but reasoned critique, Meagher traces the landmark events in Northern Ireland's century of existence, exploring the missed signals, the turning points, the principled decisions that should have been taken, as well as the raw realpolitik of how Northern Ireland has been governed over the past 100 years.
Thoughtful and sometimes provocative, What a Bloody Awful Country reflects on how both Loyalists and Republicans might have played their cards differently and, ultimately, how the actions of successive British governments have amounted to a masterclass in failed statecraft.
