Beschreibung

"Atomic Age" explores how the splitting of the atom not only unleashed unprecedented destructive power but also fundamentally altered international relations and reshaped global politics. The book delves into the complex history of nuclear weapons development, the Cold War arms race, and the lasting effects of atomic energy. It reveals how the threat of mutually assured destruction both stabilized and destabilized the global order, leading to proxy conflicts and constant fear.

 
The book examines the transformation of warfare, diplomacy, and societal anxieties, presenting a fresh perspective on the long-term societal and cultural impacts of nuclear weapons. Beginning with the scientific breakthroughs and the Manhattan Project, the book transitions into an examination of the Cold War, exploring the nuclear arms race, and concludes with an analysis of post-Cold War nuclear proliferation challenges.

 
Supported by declassified documents and firsthand accounts, it connects military history with political science and international relations. This multidisciplinary approach offers readers a comprehensive understanding of the atomic age and helps them better understand contemporary debates about nuclear disarmament and arms control.

    Obesity is becoming one of the preeminent public health concerns, with prevalence increasing throughout the world.
    Covering many aspects of contemporary obesity research, this timely book by some of the leading experts in the field explores issues relating to the biology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of obesity, including childhood obesity. The work is attuned to the needs of those living with obesity, with a chapter devoted to
    the harm caused by weight stigma and false narratives around lifestyle choices.
    'Obesity, the other pandemic of the 21st century' reviews the available evidence to prove that obesity should be considered not just as a key contributor towards other comorbidities, but as a disease by itself. Importantly, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on obesity is addressed, which raised the complexity and severity of the obesity and should be a call to action for the prevention and early treatment of this disease. This book has been developed by World Obesity Federation collaborators, and is aimed at healthcare practitioners, academics, policymakers, students, patients living with obesity and all those impacted by the issue.
    The research covered in these pages goes some way towards proving that obesity is quickly becoming 'the other pandemic' of the 21st century. Much like any major pandemic, the consequence of inaction is truly alarming.

    Five speeches from the legendary orators Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Cicero, and Pericles.431 BCE: Pericles’ Funeral Oration is a valedictory and eulogy for the great age of Athenian democracy. Reported by Thucydides, it was given at the first annual public funeral for casualties of the Peloponnesian War. That war ended twenty-seven years later with the democratic government of Athens overthrown by an oligarchy known as The Four Hundred. 324BCE: Two speeches by Alexander the Great, reported by the historian Arrian in his Anabasis. Both speeches are a direct address to his army on embarking on a new campaign. The first was given in Opis, Mesopotamia, when rallying his armies to start a new campaign into Persia. The army took heart, and successfully conquered the Persian Empire, adding it to Alexander’s many existing conquests. The second speech is given after the first campaign is over. This time Alexander is ready to move into the Indian subcontinent. After travelling across the known world, the entire army took the offer to quit fighting and go home. This leaves Alexander understandably upset, and produces history’s most finely worded example of saying “After all I’ve done for you! Well, you can all get stuffed then, you bunch of ingrates. I hope you choke.”In 63BCE, the Cataline Conspiracy shook Rome. It was a deep shock to the Roman system, and risked civil war. Included here are speeches by the Consul Cicero and the only extant speech of Julius Caesar.Cicero’s First Speech is a rabble-rousing, impassioned, and slightly unhinged attack upon Cataline and his associates. It speaks to the outrage of the body politic and the masses.Caesar’s speech is a jurisprudential appeal to create no new laws to punish these crimes. Caesar argues that the republic would be ultimately harmed if they were not punished only under existing laws, as people remember the punishment but not the crime.
