Summary

Border Conflicts explores the enduring significance of territorial disputes in shaping international relations and national identities. The book examines how lines on a map become deeply intertwined with a nation's sense of self, often rooted in historical grievances and political maneuvering.

 
Many current border conflicts stem from the legacy of colonialism, where arbitrary divisions disregarded existing cultural and ethnic boundaries. These divisions created lasting tensions over resources, influence, and sovereignty, making them worth fighting for and shaping today’s geopolitics.

 
The book adopts a structured approach, beginning with fundamental concepts such as territoriality and nationalism. It then delves into specific historical and contemporary border conflicts across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas, illustrating the diverse factors at play.

 
By synthesizing these case studies, Border Conflicts identifies common patterns and underlying drivers, such as ethnic conflicts and power imbalances.

 
Ultimately, the work proposes potential solutions and strategies for conflict resolution, emphasizing diplomacy and international law to offer practical insights into the complexities of international relations.

    You are aware of your breath. 
    But are you aware of your thoughts? 
    Every result in your life begins with thinking — yet most of us rarely examine the patterns shaping our decisions, reactions, and relationships. 
    In this grounded and reflective audiobook, Alan George Cochlan invites you into the deeper principles behind the MetaImpact approach — where awareness becomes the foundation for genuine, lasting transformation. 
    This is not hype. 
    It is not quick-fix thinking. 
    It is an invitation to understand how thought drives behaviour — and how conscious awareness changes everything. 
    Through lived experience and clear insight, you will explore how to: 
    • Move from reaction to reflection 
    • Build internal strength without force 
    • Develop personal agency 
    • Transform quietly and sustainably 
    • Live with greater clarity and timing 
    Narrated in a calm, steady voice, this audiobook is designed to be absorbed — not rushed. 
    Transformation does not begin with grand gestures. 
    It begins with awareness. 
    If you are ready to notice how you think, you are ready for change.

    A Lambda Literary Award Finalist: from "an extraordinary new voice," a "passionate and clear-eyed and unputdownable" meditation on queerness, family, and desire (Mary Karr).For as long as they can remember, Cyrus Grace Dunham felt like a visitor in their own body. Their life was a series of imitations—lovable little girl, daughter, sister, young gay woman—until their profound sense of alienation became intolerable.Moving between Grace and Cyrus, Dunham brings us inside the chrysalis of gender transition, asking us to bear witness to an uncertain and exhilarating process that troubles our most basic assumptions about who we are and how we are constituted. Written with disarming emotional intensity in a voice uniquely theirs, A Year Without a Name is a potent, thrillingly unresolved queer coming of age story.Named one of Fall 2019's Most Anticipated Books by:TimeNYLONVogueELLEBuzzfeed BustleO MagazineHarper's Bazaar

  • Policing Gun Violence - Strategic Reforms for Controlling Our Most Pressing Crime Problem - cover

    In many US cities, gun violence is the most urgent crime problem. High rates of deadly violence make a city less livable, dragging down quality of life, economic development, and property values. 
     
     
     
    How can police departments find the right balance between over- and under-policing of high-violence areas? What are the best practices for police to preempt and deter gun violence, while engendering support and cooperation from the public? 
     
     
     
    Drawing on fifty years of research and practical experience, Policing Gun Violence argues that it is possible for the police to create greater public safety while respecting the rights of individuals and communities. While gun violence can be attributed to various systemic causes, Anthony A. Braga and Philip J. Cook make the case that violence is itself a root cause of social disparity and future violence. Effective law enforcement is a vital component of a just society. They review and synthesize the evidence in several key areas: enforcement of gun laws, policing hot spots, controlling high-risk groups through focused deterrence, enhancing investigations to increase the arrest and conviction rate, preventing officer-involved shootings, and disrupting underground gun markets. Policing Gun Violence serves as a guide to how the police can better utilize their considerable resources to make cities safer.

    This bundle consists of 2 books: 
    Ancient Greece: Thanks to ancient Greece, we know more about philosophy, politics, the democratic system, mythology, art, the Olympics, and many, many lingual references imbedded in almost every European language. Ancient Greece has had a significant impact on many concepts we still hold true today. 
    Ancient Greece was a northeastern Mediterranean society that existed from the 12th-9th centuries BC till the end of classical antiquity (c. AD 600). It was made up of a loose collection of culturally and linguistically associated city-states and other areas that were only combined once, under Alexander the Great's empire, for 13 years (336-323 BC). Classical antiquity was quickly followed by the Early Middle Ages and the Byzantine period in Western history. 
    Ancient Egypt: When we think of Ancient Egypt, we picture movies with mazes, pyramids, traps, mummies, and symbols. And although some of these things were definitely part of it, there is so much more to this ancient civilization. 
    Ancient Egypt was a North African society that grew in the lower banks of the Nile River, in what's now the nation of Egypt. Following ancient Egypt, old Egyptian civilization culminated circa 3100 BC (according to basic Egyptian chronology) with Menes' political marriage of Upper and Lower Egypt (usually related to Narmer). The Old Kingdom of the Early Bronze Age, the Middle Kingdom of the Middle Bronze Age, and the New Kingdom of the Late Bronze Age formed a series of steady kingdoms split up by periods of relative instability called Intermediate Durations.

    The Soviet Union at its height occupied one sixth of the world's land mass, encompassed fifteen republics, and stretched across eleven different time zones. More than twice the size of the United States, it was the great threat of the Cold War until it suddenly collapsed in 1991. Now, almost twenty years after the dissolution of this vast empire, what are we to make of its existence? Was it a heroic experiment, an unmitigated disaster, or a viable if flawed response to the modern world? Taking a fresh approach to the study of the Soviet Union, this Very Short Introduction blends political history with an investigation into Soviet society and culture from 1917 to 1991. Stephen Lovell examines aspects of patriotism, political violence, poverty, and ideology, and provides answers to some of the big questions about the Soviet experience. Throughout, the book takes a refreshing thematic approach to the history of the Soviet Union and it provides an up-to-date consideration of the Soviet Union's impact and what we have learnt since its end.
