Old Maritime Rules

Summary

"Old Maritime Rules" masterfully explores the fascinating evolution of maritime laws and practices from ancient civilizations to their lasting impact on modern seafaring. The book reveals how the Phoenicians, as master sailors of the Mediterranean, established the first documented system of maritime protocols around 1200 BCE, creating foundational practices for navigation signals, weather prediction, and cargo handling that would influence centuries of maritime development.Through meticulous analysis of archaeological evidence, translated documents, and maritime artifacts, the book traces how these early maritime codes spread and evolved across different seafaring cultures. The narrative progresses from Phoenician innovations through Greek and Roman adaptations, culminating in the sophisticated Viking sea-laws that introduced advanced navigation techniques for northern waters.The author skillfully demonstrates how these ancient practices form the bedrock of contemporary international maritime law, supporting this connection with evidence from recovered ship logs, trading documents, and harbor regulations. The book stands out for its comprehensive integration of multiple disciplines, combining maritime archaeology, trade history, and modern naval operations to create a complete picture of ancient seafaring regulations.Using newly translated maritime documents and recent archaeological discoveries, it challenges previous assumptions about ancient maritime capabilities while providing practical insights for modern maritime operations. This approach makes the complex subject matter accessible to both scholars and general readers interested in the fascinating intersection of ancient history and modern maritime practices.

Can Deliberation Cure the Ills...

James S. Fishkin

In our modern world of propaganda, social media enclaves, misinformation, and manipulation, the connection between "the will of the people" and political action has broken down, political divisions are becoming increasingly intractable, and democracies are growing ever more ungovernable. Democracy is in crisis. 
 
 
 
In Can Deliberation Cure the Ills of Democracy?, James S. Fishkin argues that deliberative democracy can have surprisingly positive effects on all of these problems and charts a unique path to fixing them with his method of Deliberative Polling. After decades of applying and perfecting the methods of deliberative democracy in countries all over the world, this book synthesizes the results of 150 applications and shows how the method can be applied to resolve many of democracy's seemingly intractable challenges. It can clarify the public will and depolarize our divisions. 
 
 
 
Fishkin demonstrates that deliberative democracy is a practical solution if applied widely and lays out a vision for how to combine elections with deliberation to build a more deliberative society, one that cures our extreme partisanship and leads to substantive dialogues that foster mutual respect and more engaged voters. Deliberation provides a story of thoughtful empowerment and democratic reform, strengthening but not replacing our current institutions.

Rudolf Hoess - The Sadistic...

Kelly Mass

We’ve all had our humble beginnings, and we seemed so innocent as children. However, for some people, given their childhood and circumstances, and then the political or war-driven environment they face, it goes completely wrong. Such was the case for Rudolf Hoess, a cruel, murderous Nazi commander who had been brainwashed by the system that justified his aid in exterminating millions of Jews. 
Rudolf Franz Ferdinand Hoess was a Nazi German SS-officer who was found guilty of war criminal activities after Nazi Germany was beat. Höss was the commandant of Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp for the longest time (from four May 1940 to November 1943, and again from eight May 1944 to January the 18th 1945). He tried out and executed techniques to accelerate Hitler's directive to get rid of the Jewish population of Nazi-occupied Europe. 
Learn more about what Rudolf Hoess did and why he has become so infamous in the history of World War 2.
