    History of Ireland - A History...

    Much of the history of Ireland is defined by the basic facts of its location as an island perched on the very western edge of Europe. Events that had a profound impact on other parts of Europe—the rise of the Roman Empire, the diaspora of Celtic people, and the settlement of Anglo-Saxons in Britain—either had relatively little impact in Ireland or happened much later than in other parts of Europe. 
    Ireland’s geography also meant that it was just across the Irish Sea from a larger and more powerful nation: England. Over the last 500 years, the relationship between Ireland and England has had a profound impact on cultural, social, and economic life in Ireland. Sometimes, that relationship was positive for both, but often, it was not, and many Irish people suffered as a direct consequence. Ireland finally became an independent republic in 1949, but the northeastern part of the island became Northern Ireland, still a part of the United Kingdom and ruled from London, which led to growing tensions in the north. Those tensions would become a defining factor in the twentieth-century history of Ireland. This is the story of Ireland.

    Was Navalny deliberately poisoned? Does the evidence we have justify sanctions against Russia? Was the recording with the KGB agent a set-up? Is Navalny really the "main opponent of Vladimir Putin"? Does his film about "Putin's Palace" reflect reality? This book is the first investigation of the Navalny case. It is based on official American, British, Russian, French and German documents. Written by an ex-agent of the Swiss secret service who fought for ten years against the Soviet Union, this account highlights a new way of practicing foreign policy: passionate, disordered, without hindsight or constructive purpose. The immediate application of sanctions while the facts remain unclear removes all space for diplomacy. The Western unison around this affair and the censorship against dissenting voices reveal a disturbing evolution of society and its growing vulnerability to manipulation. We create realities out of our prejudices: this is the definition of conspiracy, which has become the main weapon of Western countries. We do what we reproach the autocrats for. Jacques Baud, a colonel in the Swiss army, is an expert in chemical and nuclear weapons, and trained in counter-terrorism and counter-guerrilla warfare. In the service of the United Nations, he was head of doctrine for peacekeeping operations in New York, and engaged in Africa. At NATO, he led the fight against the proliferation of small arms.

  • On The Shortness Of Life - Stop living your life for anything except yourself in the present moment - cover

    On The Shortness Of Life - Stop...

    L Anneus Seneca, Aubrey Stewart

    In this Stoic epistolary essay, addressed to his father-in-law Paulinus—a prefect of the Roman grain supply—Seneca challenges the conventional lament that life is too short. He argues instead that life is long enough, but is made brief and miserable by our habits: we waste time on trivial pursuits, anxious ambition, social obligations, and regret for the past or longing for the future.  
    Through a series of crisp rhetorical contrasts—between biological duration and genuinely lived time, between busyness and meaningful leisure—Seneca insists that the present moment, when fully seized and reflected upon, yields a span ample for wisdom. He famously distinguishes between those who “die” and those who have merely “spent” their lives without ever possessing them.  
    In twenty short chapters, the essay dissects common forms of temporal waste: mourning lost opportunities while repeating the same errors, chasing posthumous fame, and treating life as a rehearsal for some deferred “living.” Drawing on Epicurean and earlier Stoic sources, Seneca offers practical criteria for measuring a life’s true duration: awareness, intentionality, and the cultivation of inner freedom from external demands. Stop living for money, or fame, or your master; live for yourself, in the moment you're in. 
    A compact critique of Roman imperial ambition and a perennial guide to temporal autonomy, On the Shortness of Life is a foundational text in the Stoic approach to mortality, agency, and the ethics of attention. Its influence has permeated Western culture for millennia, including lumiaries such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Michel de Montaigne, and Francis Bacon.
