Sinossi

World War Facts examines how major wars have indelibly shaped our world, focusing on the causes, military innovation, and long-term consequences of these conflicts. It explores the multifaceted origins of war, from political ideologies to economic pressures, and highlights how military advancements have transformed warfare.

 
Did you know that the rise of nationalism and complex alliance systems were critical in triggering World War I? Or that World War II significantly accelerated technological development and reshaped international organizations? The book presents detailed case studies, beginning with theoretical foundations and moving through major conflicts like World War I, World War II, and the Cold War. Each chapter builds upon the last, offering a comprehensive analysis of war, society, and global politics.

 
By drawing on primary sources and interdisciplinary perspectives, World War Facts avoids simple narratives, instead emphasizing the complex interplay of cause and effect. This book provides a fresh perspective by connecting historical events and their lasting impacts. Its accessible style makes it valuable for general readers, students, and scholars seeking a deeper understanding of military history, political conflicts, and global conflicts.

  • How to Have Antiracist Conversations - Embracing Our Full Humanity to Challenge White Supremacy - cover

    How to Have Antiracist...

    Utilizing Dr. Martin Luther King's Beloved Community framework, activists will be empowered to create change and equity through fierce yet compassionate dialogue against racism and systematic white supremacy. 
     
    Can a person be both fierce and compassionate at once? Directly challenge racist speech or actions without seeking to humiliate the other person? Interrupt hateful or habitual forms of discrimination in new ways that foster deeper change? Dr. Roxy Manning believes it's possible-and you can learn how. 
     
    In this book, Dr. Manning provides a new way to conceive of antiracist conversations, along with the practical tools and frameworks that make them possible. Her work is grounded in the idea of Beloved Community, as articulated by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as a goal to aspire to and even experience now, in the present, when we refuse to give up on the possibility of human connection within ourselves, with potential allies, and with those whose words and actions create harm. This book fuels courage and provides tools to confront everyday forms of racism. It walks the reader through an effective, efficient model of dialogue that utilizes concepts of nonviolent communication and helps normalize talking about racism instead of treating it like a "third rail," strictly avoided or touched at one's peril. 
     
    Readers will 
    - Be empowered to identify what kind of antiracist conversation they want to have-for example, do they only want to be heard, or do they want to negotiate a change in policy? 
    - Learn how to engage in antiracist conversations whether they are the Actor (person who says or does something racist), the Receiver (the target of racism), or the Bystander. 
    - Learn how to notice the underlying needs and values that motivate all human actions and how those values can open up pathways to transformation. 
     
    Examples of antiracist conversations highlight different ways to initiate dialogue, raise awareness, speak one's truth, and make clear, doable requests or demands for change. 
     
    Drawing on her experience as a clinical psychologist, a nonviolent communication practitioner, and an Afro-Caribbean immigrant, Dr. Manning provides a model of antiracist dialogue with practical applications for individuals and organizations.

    SELF RELIANCE is an essay written in 1841 by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

    ★ This essay is an analysis into the nature of the aboriginal self on which a universal reliance may be grounded. 
    ★ Emerson emphasises the importance of individualism and its effect on an individual's satisfaction in life. He stresses that anyone is capable of achieving happiness, simply if they change their mindset. 
    ★ Emerson focuses on seemingly insignificant details explaining how life is "learning and forgetting and learning again".

    I’ve already written a couple of books on prophecy and premonitions including my own experiences. 
    But as an engineer I felt that I really had not fully communicated what I’ve learned about these abilities and how we can apply this knowledge to our lives. 
    Thus the purpose of this book is to be as detailed as I can be about what premonitions are and how you can use them to improve your life and change your probable futures. 
    As an engineer and experiencer of many modes of premonitions and prophecies I feel I have a lot to offer here and want you the reader to benefit from what I’ve learned. 
    Historical prophecies are also covered as are the real source of premonitional abilities, techniques to see your own futures, how far ahead people can see the future, how to use these techniques with a group of people, and much more on the importance of prophecy in our world. 
    The ability to change the direction of your fate is also discussed.

    "Barghouti is the future. He is intelligent, empowered, and non-violent. He is completely impressive. It would help Americans to see such a picture of Palestinian political engagement, when they have such a distorted image of who Palestinians are. Some day they will know him." —Phillip Weiss, author of Mondoweiss: The War of Ideas in the Middle East 
     
     
     
    THIRTY YEARS ago, an international movement utilizing boycott, divestment, and sanction (BDS) tactics rose in solidarity with those suffering under the brutal apartheid regime of South Africa. The historic acts of BDS activists from around the world isolated South Africa as a pariah state and heralded the end of apartheid. 
     
     
     
    Now, as awareness of the apartheid nature of the State of Israel continues to grow, Omar Barghouti, founding member of the Palestinian Civil Society Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel, presents a renewed call to action. Aimed at forcing the State of Israel to uphold international law and universal human rights for the Palestinian people, here is a manifesto for change.
