Synopsis

Strategic Assassinations explores how targeted killings have shaped history, focusing on the motives, strategic considerations, and political fallout of these acts. The book argues that assassinations are not isolated incidents but calculated interventions capable of destabilizing governments and altering history. For example, the book investigates assassinations that triggered regime changes, fueled social revolutions, and redrew geopolitical maps. The book uniquely examines assassinations as strategic tools with specific political objectives, moving beyond simple narratives. It uses primary sources, archival records, and scholarly analysis to support its arguments. The book progresses systematically, starting with core concepts and historical perspectives, then analyzing case studies, and concluding with ethical dilemmas and long-term consequences. Drawing from criminology, international relations, and sociology, the book enriches its analysis. It demonstrates how understanding the strategic logic behind assassinations can help policymakers anticipate and mitigate risks associated with political violence. Ultimately, Strategic Assassinations provides valuable insights into political violence's enduring impact on world events.

    What does it mean to live wisely in a world full of uncertainty? 
    Letters from a Stoic is a remarkable collection of personal letters written by the Roman philosopher Seneca to his friend Lucilius nearly two thousand years ago. In these thoughtful and deeply human letters, Seneca shares practical advice on how to face life’s challenges with courage, clarity, and calm. 
    Rather than writing as a distant philosopher, Seneca speaks like a trusted mentor and friend. He reflects on everyday struggles—fear, anger, wealth, loss, time, and the search for happiness—and offers guidance grounded in the principles of Stoic philosophy. 
    At the heart of his message is a powerful idea: true peace of mind does not come from external success or possessions. It comes from developing a strong character, a disciplined mind, and the ability to accept what we cannot control. 
    In these timeless letters, you will discover insights on how to: 
    - Overcome fear, anxiety, and unnecessary worry 
    - Use your time wisely and focus on what truly matters 
    - Build resilience in the face of hardship 
    - Cultivate inner peace and emotional balance 
    - Develop wisdom, self-discipline, and strength of character 
    Although written nearly two thousand years ago, Seneca’s reflections feel strikingly modern. His words continue to guide readers toward a calmer, more thoughtful, and more meaningful life. 
    This book is more than a classic work of philosophy—it is a series of conversations about how to live well. 
    A timeless guide to wisdom, resilience, and the art of living.

    Edited with a new introduction by Aimee McLaughlin
    "The Yellow Wallpaper" by American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman, first published in January 1892, is regarded as an important early work of American feminist literature for its illustration of the attitudes towards mental and physical health of women in the 19th century.
    What happens when a woman is pushed too far? Is she able to express her thoughts and feelings, or is she forced towards the expectation of behaving 'normally' again soon?
    A woman travels with her husband to an old colonial mansion after a nervous breakdown triggered by the birth of their child. Confined to the nursery and allowed only to breathe fresh air, eat well and rest in line with a regimented 'cure', she slowly begins to unravel at the seams. Her only distraction is writing in secret – that, and the woman she begins to see trapped inside the yellow wallpaper of the room itself.
    Isolated and breaking apart, she sets herself a task: to free the woman, and to become one with her temporary confinement.
    Charlotte Perkins-Gilman's 'The Yellow Wallpaper' presents a harrowing, disturbing account of mental stress, confinement and female turmoil - within which the only available solace can be found inside four peeling, sickly yellow walls ...
    Our new edition also features the sequence of poems "Woman" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
    "The gothic genre offers Gilman an effective mode of diagnosing contemporary culture whilst in tandem expressing her ensuing fears and anxieties. Gilman within this novella, gothicises the domestic setting, inverting the pillars of domesticity: family, security and understanding, in turn unveiling the dangers lurking behind the familiarity of gender roles within marital relations. The intimate first-person narration of the narrative serves to enhance Gilman's exposure of the oppressive forces of a male-dominated society, as she deplores her protagonist's inferior position in her domestic arrangement. The female narrator is encumbered by masculine superiority, undoubtedly dwelling in the middle of patriarchy. Embedded within her characterisation is the subjugated role bestowed upon Victorian women. Gilman projects derangement onto a familiar literary figure ― the middle−class wife and mother ― placing the source of this madness in the inviolate sphere for dutiful women ― the home."
