Sinopsis

Underground Cities History explores the fascinating phenomenon of subterranean urbanism, examining why civilizations throughout history chose to build elaborate cities beneath the earth. These underground metropolises served as defensive structures, havens from persecution, and testaments to human resilience. The book highlights architectural ingenuity, such as sophisticated ventilation systems and water management techniques, while also delving into the socio-political factors that drove communities to seek refuge below ground.

 
The book progresses from introducing key architectural concepts to detailed case studies of sites like Derinkuyu and Kaymakli in Cappadocia, as well as the catacombs of Rome, revealing the historical adaptation and daily life within these subterranean communities. Archaeological findings, historical texts, and architectural analyses combine to offer a comprehensive view of these hidden worlds. One intriguing aspect is how geological formations were ingeniously transformed into complex networks, showcasing a remarkable capacity for innovation under pressure.

 
Ultimately, the book argues that underground cities represent a significant chapter in human history, demonstrating the ability of civilizations to adapt and endure extreme challenges. By blending architectural analysis with social and historical context, Underground Cities History provides a deeper understanding of the motivations and innovations behind these remarkable feats of subterranean urbanism. The lessons learned offer insights applicable to modern urban planning, disaster preparedness, and even future extraterrestrial habitats.

    In On the Inconvenience of Other People, Lauren Berlant continues to explore our affective engagement with the world. Berlant focuses on the encounter with and the desire for the bother of other people and objects, showing that to be driven toward attachment is to desire to be inconvenienced. Drawing on a range of sources, including Last Tango in Paris, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Claudia Rankine, Christopher Isherwood, Bhanu Kapil, the Occupy movement, and resistance to anti-Black state violence, Berlant poses inconvenience as an affective relation and considers how we might loosen our attachments in ways that allow us to build new forms of life. Collecting strategies for breaking apart a world in need of disturbing, the book's experiments in thought and writing cement Berlant's status as one of the most inventive and influential thinkers of our time.

    Public Safety: A Necessity

    A community without public safety will be like the land of Israel in those days when there was no king in Israel—everyone does what seems good to them. They kill at will, rape both men, women, and children at will, steal at will, and whatsoever seems good to them, just like the animal kingdom. 
    I, O. T. Osawaru, the author of this book, observed that our societies are gradually becoming lawless. The police and other public safety departments were defunded while empowering criminals and making them heroes. Hence the need to write this book. And to shift our focus on the consequence of these acts and bring back law and order in our societies to preserve lives and properties. 
    After listening to this book, I pray you will become an advocate for the need for public safety and the funding of every public safety body—furthermore, to encourage every public safety officer for their noble service in our societies.

    ‘Twenty-first-century capitalism and the democracies that enabled it are self-destructing... a sobering ― and impeccably researched ― warning of what is likely to come next’ Bruce Whitfield  
    The leading lights of the tech revolution – Gates, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk – have been hailed as savants and saviours of the modern age. And yet they are at the forefront of wealth inequality not seen since the heyday of the robber barons in the late 19th century, part of the slide to the First World War. Today, rampant inequality is inciting social unrest and undermining faith in the institutions of the democratic state. Citizens have been left at the mercy of unfettered capitalism – mere data subjects, endlessly surveilled, marshalled and increasingly angry and polarised. 
    The decoupling of capitalism from democracy has fostered an economic system seemingly powered by greed alone, with the marginalisation of democratic principles facilitating the rise of authoritarians and populists like Putin, Xi Jinping, Trump and Boris Johnson. 
    How has it come to this? And does the unanticipated fightback in Ukraine, with support from the West, show us the way to reclaiming the lost spirit of freedom inherent in liberal democracy?

    On Settler Colonialism -...

    A prominent public intellectual tackles one of the most crucial political ideas of our moment. 
     
     
     
    Since Hamas's attack on Israel last October 7, the term "settler colonialism" has become central to public debate in the United States. A concept new to most Americans, but already established and influential in academic circles, settler colonialism is shaping the way many people think about the history of the United States, Israel and Palestine, and a host of political issues. 
     
     
     
    This short book is the first to examine settler colonialism critically for a general audience. By critiquing the most important writers, texts, and ideas in the field, Adam Kirsch shows how the concept emerged in the context of North American and Australian history and how it is being applied to Israel. He examines the sources of its appeal, which, he argues, are spiritual as much as political; how it works to delegitimize nations; and why it has the potential to turn indignation at past injustices into a source of new injustices today. A compact and accessible introduction, rich with historical detail, the book will speak to listeners interested in the Middle East, American history, and today's most urgent cultural-political debates.
