Synopsis

Cold War Bunkers unveils the hidden world of subterranean facilities built by governments as a last-ditch response to potential nuclear fallout. These structures embody the architectural, historical, and military significance of an era defined by the pervasive fear of nuclear annihilation. Did you know that these bunkers weren't just about physical protection; they also represented a massive investment of resources and psychological energy aimed at preparing for a potential doomsday scenario? The book explores these bunkers as tangible expressions of societal anxieties during the Cold War.

 
This exploration begins by setting the historical context, detailing the arms race and the doctrine of mutually assured destruction. The narrative then transitions into an examination of the architectural designs, analyzing layout, materials, and life-support systems. Particular focus is given to specific examples worldwide, revealing their intended purpose and level of preparedness.

 
The book culminates by discussing the legacy of these bunkers, their current status, and insights into our ongoing relationship with nuclear threats.

    Tipu formed a large corps of young Muslim lads whom he called his sons and now provided them with handsome young wives from the Hindu fold. These atrocities were perpetrated during the wet months of 1785. In Malabar he had converted, in one stroke, a hundred thousand Hindus to his faith. Portuguese missionaries wrote that 'he tied naked Christians and Hindus to the legs of elephants and made the elephants move around till the bodies of the helpless victims were torn to pieces.' In 1786 he declared himself emperor and had the khutba read in his name in all the mosques throughout his kingdom. His contention was that 'those idiots who introduce the name of Shah Alam in the khutba act through ignorance since the real condition of the so called emperor is this: that he is actually enslaved and a servant of the Scindia. So to pronounce the name of someone dependent on the infidels while reciting the sacred khutba was blasphemy.

    Lewen Weldon was mapping the desert of Egypt when the First World War broke out. A fluent Arabic speaker, he was recruited to run a network of spies and confidential agents from a steam yacht onto the Syrian coast behind Turkish lines. He took his men ashore in small boats at night, which also allowed him to land and conduct personal interviews before returning back through the surf. This vivid tale of adventure becomes eyewitness history as we encounter Armenians escaping the massacres, passionate Arab nationalists, resolute Turkish soldiers and a heroic network of Jewish volunteers. Weldon's modesty and self-deprecating Irish wit, complete with a few prejudices, take us to the vivid heart of his experience. This is a story that simply had to be told.

    First and foremost, interacting with difficult people is one of the best ways to hone important life skills such as communication, empathy, and problem-solving. When we are confronted with challenging individuals, we are compelled to engage in productive communication in order to find a solution. We need to make sure that we are actively listening to them so that we can understand their point of view, that we are asking questions to explain their worries, and that we are expressing ourselves in a clear and confident manner. When we have to deal with difficult people, it can provide us with an opportunity to practice and enhance our communication skills, which can be useful in many different aspects of our lives. 
    In addition, interacting with difficult people might help us develop empathy, which is the capacity to comprehend and identify with the emotions of another person. It is very simple for us to become preoccupied with our own feelings and disappointments when we are forced to interact with difficult people. However, taking the time to think about things from the perspective of another person might help us build empathy and compassion for that individual. Building greater relationships with other people enables us to develop empathy, which in turn can help us become better at problem solving and better negotiators. 
    In addition, engaging with difficult people can assist us in developing abilities necessary for problem-solving. When we are confronted with a challenging individual, we have the responsibility of figuring out how to resolve the conflict while still honoring our own boundaries and requirements.

    With humor and heart, Over Our Dead Bodies does for the undertaking profession what Mary Roach's Stiff did for cadavers, and, like Caitlin Doughty's Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? gives us permission to embrace our morbid curiosity. From the authors of Mortuary Confidential. 
     
     
      
    Not knowing what to do, I sat on the church steps and waited. As the gravity of my failure began to well up in me, I began to cry . . . 
     
     
      
    I HAD LOST THE HEARSE! 
     
     
      
    From a dysfunctional family who turn their mother's wake into a full-blown riot, to funeral crashers looking for free meals, to a horse-drawn hearse taking the dearly departed for the ride of their afterlife, these accounts from actual undertakers will have you laughing, thinking, and gasping in disbelief. A literal graveyard of wild coincidences, slapstick humor, and touching moments, Over Our Dead Bodies explores the lighter side of the dead, the living, and the lone undertaker who has to make it all go as planned—even if it doesn't.
