The Soviet Union, once the most powerful socialist state on the planet, dominated global politics and economics for much of the 20th century. From its establishment in 1922 until its disintegration in 1991, the USSR stood as a superpower, rivaling the United States in military strength, technological innovation, and ideological influence. The Soviet Union was not just a political entity; it was the manifestation of a grand vision of socialist governance that sought to reshape the world. Its rise to power was marked by revolution, war, and the forging of a unique socio-economic structure that stood in stark contrast to the capitalist world. However, by the late 1980s, the Soviet Union faced insurmountable challenges. The centralized economy, which had initially driven industrial growth, was beginning to falter under the weight of inefficiency and stagnation. The military and political dominance the USSR had long enjoyed began to erode, and the ideological tenets that had once inspired its citizens no longer resonated with the younger generation. The political leadership, while still powerful, was marked by infighting, and the population grew disillusioned with the government’s inability to reform. Amid this turmoil, Mikhail Gorbachev ascended to the position of General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1985. Gorbachev’s policies of perestroika (restructuring) and glasnost (openness) sought to address the growing dissatisfaction and revive the Soviet state, but they inadvertently exposed the deep-rooted problems that had been festering for decades. The decision to allow greater political freedom and economic flexibility unintentionally sparked a wave of unrest throughout the Soviet republics. Nationalist movements, long suppressed, began to rise, and demands for greater autonomy became louder...Show book
Chasing what feels easy is a human instinct—but it's only when young people embrace challenges that they become stronger versions of themselves and lead more joyful, meaningful lives. In our happiness-obsessed society, we can become isolated in comfort zones and overly focused on temporary pleasures. Kids naturally do the same. In our effort to protect and help them, we often shield them from discomfort. But are we unwittingly denying them experiences that will form them into strong, capable adults? Could it be that we're training them to believe that challenges ought to be avoided, and that if they're struggling, they're not well? In The Happiness Crisis, global educational leader Jon Eckert speaks from decades of experience, explaining how he has seen parents, teachers, and coaches nurture transformation in kids ages 9 to 22. With practical wisdom, humor, and real-world evidence, he'll show you how toinvite young people into challenges, risks, and adventures;prioritize real-life connections that show others they matter;resist living in echo chambers and chasing fleeting success; andwelcome kids into lives that move beyond circumstantial happiness to lasting joy. Decades from now, the most resilient adults will be the most joyful. They'll know that joy isn't freedom from struggle; it's the fuel that allows them to struggle well. Young people can begin living that way now—if we invite them to.Show book
The Bauhaus Movement is one of the most influential art and design movements of the 20th century, shaping not only the world of architecture, but also industrial design, graphic design, and education. Founded in 1919 in Weimar, Germany, the Bauhaus school represented a radical shift in the way artists and designers approached their work, bridging the gap between art and industrial production. The term "Bauhaus," which translates to "building house," symbolized the school's fundamental belief in the fusion of craftsmanship and design with new technological advances. It advocated for an integrated, functional approach to design, emphasizing simplicity, clean lines, and the use of modern materials such as steel, glass, and concrete. At the heart of the Bauhaus movement was the idea of total design, an approach that sought to unify art, craft, and industry into a single cohesive whole. The Bauhaus school emphasized collaboration between artists, architects, and designers, breaking down the traditional boundaries between fine arts and applied arts. This approach was revolutionary at a time when art was still often considered a separate entity from industrial production. The school encouraged students to experiment with new techniques and materials, while maintaining a commitment to functional design that was both aesthetically pleasing and usable in the modern world. One of the defining features of the Bauhaus movement was its focus on the intersection of art and technology. The early 20th century saw rapid advancements in industrial production and materials science, which gave rise to new possibilities in design. Bauhaus educators believed that the application of these new technologies should be at the core of creative work. This philosophy led to the creation of iconic pieces of modern furniture, groundbreaking architectural designs, and revolutionary typography that defined the aesthetic of the era.Show book
It has been a century since the massacre at Jallianwala Bagh, but Punjab is still to recover from the shock of it. The British Empire never did either-the impact of those bullets fired for ten minutes at an unarmed, peaceful crowd inside a community park with one narrow exit rang through its remaining years in India. Yet, the true horror of the event itself has been forgotten, as also the volatile atmosphere in Punjab at the time. What was the catalyst for the events of that day and how did it become a turning point in India's struggle for independence? Why did the British feel the need to impose martial law on Amritsar, which had shown little inclination for violence, despite provocation? What do we know about the individuals whose lives spun out of control on 19 April 1919, never to recover? Why did the people of Punjab suffer barbaric punishments, including public flogging, torture and even bombing, unknown to the rest of the world? These are the questions fuelling the research that eventually gave shape to this meticulous and determined reconstruction of that crucial day, and the events which followed. Based on the reports of the Hunter Committee and the Indian National Congress, as well as other historical documents, Jallianwala Bagh, 1919: The Real Story provides a sharp analysis of General Dyer's actions and their fallout-the official narrative and the Indian counter-narratives.Show book
