Summary

The Viscountess Ethel Snowden (1881-1951), wife of Labour Party politician Viscount Philip Snowden, was a British socialist, human rights activist, and feminist politician. She was a leading campaigner for women’s suffrage before World War I and helped to found The Women’s Peace Crusade to oppose the war and call for a negotiated peace. At the end of the war, she was elected to the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party, which leads her travels in Russia in early 1920, where she was sent to conduct an impartial inquiry into the Bolshevik Revolution. Her findings were presented in a book, “Through Bolshevik Russia.” Although she generally liked Lenin, whom she interviewed while in Russia, she was critical of Bolshevism. She had told a reporter for the “Evening Standard” upon her return that "I oppose Bolshevism because it is not Socialism, it is not democracy and it is not Christianity", and likened working conditions to slavery. Her denunciations of the Soviets made her unpopular and she was soon voted off the National Executive Committee, in 1922. However, she remained active in politics due to her husband’s service in Parliament.

What World Is This? - A Pandemic...

Judith Butler

The pandemic compels us to ask fundamental questions about our place in the world: the many ways humans rely on one another, how we vitally and sometimes fatally breathe the same air, share the surfaces of the earth, and exist in proximity to other porous creatures in order to live in a social world. What we require to live can also imperil our lives. How do we think from, and about, this common bind? 
 
 
 
Judith Butler shows how COVID-19 and all its consequences—political, social, ecological, economic—have challenged us to reconsider the sense of the world that such disasters bring about. Drawing on the work of Max Scheler, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and critical feminist phenomenology, Butler illuminates the conditions in which we seek to make sense of our disorientation, precarity, and social bonds. What World Is This? offers a new account of interdependency in which touching and breathing, capacities that amid a viral outbreak can threaten life itself, challenge the boundaries of the body and selfhood. Criticizing notions of unlimited personal liberty and the killing forces of racism, sexism, and classism, this book suggests that the pandemic illuminates the potential of shared vulnerabilities as well as the injustice of pervasive inequalities.

Law And Limit The Architecture of the Infinite by Kiet Anh Le - How Existence Emerges from Law Beyond Time and Space - cover

Law And Limit The Architecture...

What if the universe didn't begin with a bang, but with a rule? 
In Law & Limit: The Architecture of the Infinite, independent theorist Kiet Anh Le redefines the origin of existence itself. Every event, every equation, presupposes structure — meaning that Law, not matter or time, is the true beginning of reality. 
Through a blend of logic, mathematics, and metaphysics, Le reveals a profound architecture of being built on three principles: 
Law (Λ) — the totality of consistent relations that make existence possible; 
Existence (E) — the realization of those relations; 
and the Outer Limit (Ωₗ) — the boundary that completes reality without infinite regress. 
Drawing insights from physics, philosophy, and formal reasoning, Law & Limit presents a daring synthesis where logic becomes cosmology and coherence becomes the foundation of all things. It's a philosophical journey beyond spacetime — into the very structure of the infinite.

Fallschirm-Panzer Division 'Hermann Göring' - A History of the Luftwaffe's Only Armoured Division 1933-1945 - cover

Fallschirm-Panzer Division...

In the early years of the Third Reich, Hermann Göring, one of the most notorious leaders of the Third Reich, worked to establish his own personal army to rival Himmler's SS and Reichswehr. The result: a private Prussian police force which grew into one of the most powerful armored units in Nazi Germany's Wehrmacht. 
 
 
 
This unit fought throughout the Second World War, meeting Anglo-American forces in vicious battles across the European theatres of Tunisia, Sicily, and Italy before finally being defeated by the Red Army on the Eastern Front. The Hermann Göring Panzer Division incorporates technical details of these battles with the turbulent politics and Machiavellian maneuvering of Hitler's inner circle, giving military-history enthusiasts fresh insights into the development and role of this unusual division through the war. 
 
 
 
Drawing on firsthand accounts and extensive archive material, World War II historian Lawrence Paterson presents a comprehensive and unbiased history of the establishment of the famous Fallschirm-Panzer Division.
