  Rashtrakuta Empire - Military...

  The Rashtrakutas were one of the most powerful dynasties in Indian history, ruling vast territories across the Deccan and beyond. Their origins, however, remain a subject of debate among historians due to conflicting inscriptions and interpretations. Some sources trace their roots to the Kannada-speaking regions, while others suggest connections to northern India. Despite the uncertainty, it is widely accepted that the Rashtrakutas emerged as a prominent force in the Deccan by the 8th century. 
  The dynasty first gained prominence under the rule of Dantidurga, who established Rashtrakuta authority by overthrowing the Chalukyas of Badami. However, evidence suggests that the Rashtrakutas had been a significant regional power even before his reign. The earliest references to the name "Rashtrakuta" appear in inscriptions from the 6th and 7th centuries, indicating that they were already influential feudatories before rising to imperial status. Some scholars believe they originally served as administrators or military governors under the Chalukyas before asserting their independence. 
  The question of the dynasty’s ethnic and linguistic identity has long been debated. Some sources claim that they were of Kannada origin, citing inscriptions and literary works composed in the Kannada language under their patronage. Others argue that they may have had northern Indian roots, pointing to their interactions with Rajput and Gurjara clans. Regardless of their precise origins, the Rashtrakutas embraced the cultural diversity of the Deccan, ruling over a population that spoke multiple languages, including Kannada, Sanskrit, and Marathi.

  Primatology Ethics and Trauma

  It has been fifty years since the first language experiments on chimpanzees. Robert Ingersoll is well known for being one of the main carers and best friend of the chimpanzee, Nim Chimpsky, but there were other chimpanzees in the University of Oklahoma's Institute for Primate Studies, including Washoe, Moja, Kelly, Booee, and Onan, who were taught sign language in the quest to discover whether language is learned or innate in humans. Antonina Anna Scarnà's expertise in language acquisition and neuroscience offers a vehicle for critical evaluation of those studies. 
   
   
   
  Ingersoll and Scarnà investigate how this research failed to address the emotional needs of the animals. It is time to consider the research from a different perspective, examining the neglect and cruelty that was inflicted on those animals in the name of psychological science. This book re-examines those cases, addressing directly the suffering and traumatic experiences endured by the captive chimpanzees, in particular the female chimpanzee, Washoe, and her resultant inability to be a competent mother. 
   
   
   
  This book discusses the unethical nature of the studies in the context of recent research on trauma and offers a specific and direct psychological message, proposing to finally close the door on the language side of these chimpanzee studies.

  Monday, 4 September 1967 
  Marine Lance Corporal Jack Swan crested the face of a bare, rocky knoll in 
  the Que Son Valley of South Vietnam. Following Swan were the 164 Marines of 
  Mike Company, Third Battalion, Fifth Marines, First Marine Division. Their 
  mission was to locate and rescue two understrength and isolated companies 
  of felow Marines who were under attack by the North Vietnamese Armv 
  The sight of a quiet and serene rice paddy and shrub covered valley greeted 
  Swan. Too serene, he thought, as he caught sight of a trembling bush. "I think 
  I just saw that bush move!" he shouted. "If it moves again, shoot it!" his squad 
  leader commanded he bush moved Swan hired. and the hush went down 
  Then hell on earth broke loose. 
  Rocket-propelled grenades, AK-47 fire, mortars, and machine guns engulfed 
  the exposed Marines. The vaunted 2nd NVA Division, six thousand, five hundred 
  men strong and expertly camouflaged, had sprung their well-laid trap. 
  Instead of coming to the rescue of their embattled comrades, it was now the 
  men of Mike 3/5 who were about to be annihilated. Burdened with a rifle, the 
  M16, that would often malfunction, how could they hope to beat back a vastly 
  superior foe bent on their destruction? 
  Outnumbered, out-gunned, and exposed, would any of the men of Mike 3/5 survive?

  The Cost of Conviction - How Our...

  When you are faced with a decision, do you consider the best outcome, or do you consider your deepest values about which actions are appropriate? The Cost of Conviction contrasts these two primary strategies for making decisions: consequentialism, the former, or prioritizing one's sacred values, the latter. Steven Sloman argues that, while both modes of decision making are necessary tools for a good decision maker, people err by deploying sacred values more often than they should, especially when it comes to sociopolitical issues. In this book, Sloman provides a new understanding of today's societal ills and grounds that understanding in science. 
   
   
   
  The book begins by covering the philosophical and conceptual background of the two decision-making strategies, then takes a deep dive into the psychology of decision making. Drawing on historical and current examples of the use of the two strategies, the author provides a thorough overview of the psychology of decision making, including work on judgment, conscious and unconscious decision-making processes, the roles of emotion, and even an analysis of habit and addiction. 
   
   
   
  With its unique emphasis on sacred values, The Cost of Conviction is an eye-opening must-listen for all decision makers, especially those who wish to understand judgment, social decision making, and leadership.
