Summary

"World War 1" explores the origins, events, and consequences of the global conflict that reshaped the 20th century. Delving into the intricate web of alliances, imperial ambitions, and nationalist fervor, the book analyzes how the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand ignited a war marked by brutal trench warfare and unprecedented technological advancements in military history. It reveals how the war acted as a significant turning point, ending the old world order and ushering in an era of global interconnectedness and international conflict. The book examines the underlying causes, major battles such as the Marne, Verdun, and the Somme, and the profound transformations resulting from the war, including the Treaty of Versailles. It further highlights the role of nationalism, militarism, and imperialism in creating a hostile environment in Europe. Drawing upon primary and secondary sources, the book provides a comprehensive account of the war, emphasizing its interconnected aspects and long-term consequences, while also addressing controversies surrounding the Treaty of Versailles. The book's approach is designed to be accessible to a broad audience. The book begins by examining the political and social landscape of Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, tracing the events that led to war. It then analyzes the strategies employed during major battles and concludes by exploring the war's consequences, including the reshaping of the global map. This exploration aims to deepen the reader's understanding of the past and its relevance to the present, making the books content valuable for those interested in World History and Military History.

    In January 2020, leading epidemiologist Professor Mark Woolhouse learned of a new virus taking hold in China. He immediately foresaw a hard road ahead for the entire world, and emailed the Chief Medical Officer of Scotland warning that the UK should urgently begin preparations. A few days later he received a polite reply stating only that everything was under control. 
 
In this astonishing account, Mark Woolhouse shares his story as an insider, having served on advisory groups to both the Scottish and UK governments. He reveals the disregarded advice, frustration of dealing with politicians, and the missteps that led to the deaths of vulnerable people, damage to livelihoods and the disruption of education. He explains the follies of lockdown and sets out the alternatives. Finally, he warns that when the next pandemic comes, we must not dither and we must not panic; never again should we make a global crisis even worse. 
 
The Year the World Went Mad puts our recent, devastating, history in a completely new light.

    Living in a dysfunctional family isn't easy. But while you can't choose where you come from, you can choose the lessons you take away. 
 
 
 
Bestselling recovery author Karen Casey looks at stories of people who grew up in dysfunctional families and "the good stuff" that can, ironically, come from the experience. She interviews survivors who emerged from the fires of turbulent households affected by abuse, addiction, or other problems, and reveals how they came to process their often-harrowing personal trials and, against the odds, triumph over their difficulties—using skills they honed in response to their childhoods. In The Good Stuff from Growing Up in a Dysfunctional Family, Casey reveals the stories and the skills they developed to live more creative and fulfilling lives, and not just survive but thrive. 
 
 
 
"Using her interviews as groundwork, she explores the benefits that result from surviving in a dysfunctional family, including resiliency, perseverance, a sense of humor, forgiveness, kindness, and the ability to discern real love." —Publishers Weekly 
 
 
 
"You just can't go wrong with Karen Casey." —Earnie Larson, author of Stage II Recovery

  • Noble Savage Deadbeat Dad - How Rousseau Invented Modern Society While Failing at Basic Human Decency - cover

    Noble Savage Deadbeat Dad - How...

    In this mercilessly funny takedown, Jean-Jacques Rousseau—history's most insufferable philosopher—gets the roasting he so richly deserves. "Noble Savage, Deadbeat Dad" exposes the spectacular hypocrisy of a man who abandoned five children at orphanages while writing the definitive guide to education, preached natural virtue while exposing himself to strangers, and railed against wealth while living off rich patrons. 
Laugh out loud as we dissect Rousseau's greatest contradictions: his fetishization of indigenous cultures (without meeting any actual indigenous people), his belief that society corrupts natural goodness (while engaging in deeply unnatural bedroom activities), and his conviction that he alone understood true freedom (while being pathologically dependent on others for basic survival). 
This savagely irreverent guide reveals how a paranoid, chronically constipated Swiss misanthrope somehow managed to inspire both democracy AND totalitarianism between bouts of accusing everyone he met of conspiring against him. With brutal honesty and razor-sharp wit, we explore how Rousseau's complete disaster of a personal life somehow produced philosophical insights that still haunt us today—especially when we complain about technology ruining society while scrolling through social media. 
Perfect for philosophy students in desperate need of comic relief, or anyone who enjoys watching narcissistic geniuses get thoroughly eviscerated. Warning: Reading this book in public may cause uncontrollable laughter and concerned looks from serious academics.
