Beschreibung

Naval Rebellions explores the compelling history of mutinies at sea, revealing how these acts of defiance have influenced military power, maritime law, and global trade. Far from being random outbursts, naval revolts often stem from systemic issues such as poor leadership and harsh conditions, highlighting vulnerabilities within maritime empires. Interestingly, these rebellions weren't always about material needs; sometimes they were protests against tyrannical leadership. The book examines pivotal events like the Spithead and Nore mutinies and the Potemkin uprising, showcasing the diverse motivations behind these revolts. By analyzing naval archives, court-martial records, and personal diaries, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of the social, economic, and political forces at play. It uniquely emphasizes the agency of lower ranks in challenging authority and shaping maritime history. 

 
Naval Rebellions progresses through three main sections: an overview of naval mutinies from the age of sail to modern times, detailed case studies of significant revolts, and an analysis of their long-term consequences on military strategy and global trade networks. This approach connects military history with legal studies, economic history, and social history, providing valuable lessons for contemporary issues of military leadership and organizational management.

Thought Forms

Annie Besant, C. W. Leadbeater

What do ideas look like? This clairvoyant view of the shape, color, and atmospheric effect of mental energy includes black-and-white drawings and color plates to convey a graphic representation of the power of thought. 
Prominent Theosophists Annie Besant and C. W. Leadbeater were pioneers in asserting that thoughts are, indeed, things. Originally released in 1901, Thought-Forms is a seminal work on what thoughts “look” like. It had an impact far beyond the circle of its primary readers and greatly influenced leading artists such as Piet Mondrian and Wassily Kandinsky. 
Simple in style and clearly written, Thought-Forms is a classic of the theosophical tradition that has as much to say in our own day as it did a century ago. It lucidly sets forth a way to conceive of the invisible realms within and around us, with implications both for how we view the world and how we act in it. 
Discussion includes the meaning of color, thought forms built by music, and the nature of helpful thoughts. Based on the authors’ clairvoyant vision, its illustrations suggest the form thoughts take in relation, for instance, to anger, fear, intellect, sympathy, devotion, and a meditative state. Annie Besant herself describes the book’s purpose as being to “serve as a striking moral lesson to every reader, making him realize the nature and power of his thoughts, acting as a stimulus to the noble and a curb to the base. With this belief and hope we send it on its way”.

Three Wise Monkeys - Through the...

Charles van Onselen

Volume 2 of Three Wise Monkeys explores Catholic Mozambique's role in the leisure economy of Protestant South Africa, as a place where bachelor miners and Randlords alike could project their fantasies of subtropical exotica, whether in the raucous bars and brothels of the port or in the development of the upmarket Polana Hotel and the vision of segregated 'tourist zones' for race-conscious Rand holidaymakers.
Mozambique's liminal place in the leisure and entertainment universe was nowhere better represented than in the rise and eventual fall of Lourenço Marques Radio. For decades, LM Radio beamed the hit songs of the day, and a certain vision of post-war modernity, to white South Africans increasingly in thrall to the stifling rule of Calvinist churches, the National Party and the Broederbond-dominated SABC. The eventual triumph of the SABC in muzzling LM Radio was a foretaste of the police state that came to imprison South African minds during the 1960s and 1970s.
