Sinopsis

Iceberg Threats examines the significant dangers icebergs pose to maritime navigation, offshore infrastructure, and coastal communities. It highlights how these seemingly beautiful natural phenomena can become instruments of destruction, impacting human safety and economic stability. The book delves into historical disasters, like the Titanic, analyzes present-day risks to oil platforms, and explores future impacts on coastal communities due to climate change. While advancements have mitigated some dangers, the book argues that a renewed approach to risk assessment and monitoring is vital.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the science of icebergs, then moving to historical impacts and modern-day threats. For example, it considers how increased maritime activity in iceberg-prone regions elevates risk. The book emphasizes the need for proactive measures to address emerging threats. 

 
It adopts a fact-based, analytical approach, providing a comprehensive overview of iceberg threats and potential solutions, making it valuable for maritime professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersection of natural hazards and human activity.

The Seminole Wars, also known as the Florida Wars, were a series of three interconnected military conflicts that took place in Florida between the United States and the Seminole people, a group of Native Americans who had established themselves in the region during the early 1700s. These wars, spanning from 1816 to 1858, were among the longest and most costly of the American Indian Wars in both human and financial terms for the United States. Although the wars were not continuous, they involved intermittent fighting and long periods of uneasy ceasefire. The conflicts ultimately played a pivotal role in shaping the history of both Florida and the Seminole Nation.

A controversial call to arms, Against Empathy argues that the natural impulse to share the feelings of others can lead to immoral choices in both public policy and in our intimate relationships with friends and family. 
Most people, including many policy makers, activists, scientists, and philosophers, have encouraged us to be more empathetic—to feel the pain and pleasure of others. Yale researcher and author Paul Bloom argues that this is a mistake. Far from leading us to improve the lives of others, empathy is a capricious and irrational emotion that appeals to our narrow prejudices. It muddles our judgment and often leads to cruelty. We are at our best when we are smart enough not to rely on it, and draw upon a more distanced compassion.  
Based on groundbreaking scientific findings, Against Empathy makes the case that some of the worst decisions that individuals and nations make—from who to give money to, when to go to war, how to respond to climate change, and who to put in prison—are too often motivated by honest, yet misplaced, emotions. With clear and witty prose, Bloom demonstrates how empathy distorts our judgment in every aspect of our lives, from philanthropy and charity to the justice system; from culture and education to foreign policy and war. Without empathy, Bloom insists, our decisions would be clearer, fairer, and ultimately more moral. 
Bound to be controversial, Against Empathy shows us that, when it comes to major policy decisions and the choices we make in our everyday lives, limiting our empathetic emotions is often the most compassionate choice we can make.
