Sinopsis

A new assessment of the Falklands War from the Argentine perspective.

In 1982, the United Kingdom and Argentina fought a war over an historical disagreement over the colonial “ownership” or rights over the Falkland Islands. Within months of the Argentinian defeat, General Edgardo Calvi, then the Argentine Head of the Army Joint Chief of Staff, was instructed to undertake a wide-ranging and formal inquiry to investigate the performance of the Argentine Army during the Falklands. Calvi concluded that while the Army had the motivation, it lacked the organization, equipment, training, and ability to oppose an army capable of operating in a variety of environments. The war exposed political, military, and public weaknesses in a period of considerable internal unrest during the seven years of the Dirty War. Several senior officers who fought in the Falklands were imprisoned for offenses committed during the Dirty War. Secrecy and political disagreements isolated the Service chiefs of staff from the logistic and operational planning. This book tells the story of the Falklands War from the Argentine Army perspective.

    The Chinese Great Leap Forward...

    The origins of the Great Leap Forward are deeply rooted in the political ambition and ideological vision of Mao Zedong, the founding leader of the People’s Republic of China. Following the success of the Communist revolution in 1949, Mao sought not only to rebuild a war-torn nation but to rapidly transform it into a socialist utopia capable of rivaling the industrial powers of the West. By the mid-1950s, China had already launched its First Five-Year Plan, modeled after the Soviet approach to centralized economic planning. Encouraged by early gains in heavy industry, Mao envisioned a second phase of development that would leap over traditional stages of economic growth. 
    At the heart of this vision was a push for mass mobilization. Mao believed that the sheer size of China's population could be harnessed as a revolutionary force capable of achieving miraculous feats. The Great Leap Forward, initiated in 1958, was designed to propel China into a modern communist society by emphasizing agricultural collectivization and rural industrialization simultaneously. Rather than relying on expert knowledge or slow-paced industrial planning, Mao favored decentralized enthusiasm and ideological commitment, trusting that the collective will of the people would overcome any technical limitations. 
    One of the most radical elements of this plan was the establishment of people’s communes, which replaced the traditional family unit and private farming with large-scale collective labor. Households were merged into communes comprising thousands of individuals, who would eat, sleep, and work under strict communal arrangements. The idea was to increase efficiency and free up labor for industrial production, especially in rural areas where backyard furnaces were set up to produce steel. This was accompanied by an aggressive campaign to eliminate what were seen as capitalist tendencies, including private plots and individual incentives.

    Predating written language and marching on through human history, the desire for ever-better timekeeping has spurred technological innovation and sparked theories that radically reshaped our understanding of the universe and our place in it. 
     
     
     
    Chad Orzel, a physicist and bestselling author, continues his tradition of demystifying thorny scientific concepts by using the clocks and calendars central to our everyday activities as a jumping-off point to explore the science underlying the ways we keep track of our time. Ancient solstice markers depend on the basic astrophysics of our solar system; mechanical clocks owe their development to Newtonian physics; and the ultra-precise atomic timekeeping that enables GPS hinges on the predictable oddities of quantum mechanics. 
     
      
     
    Along the way, Orzel visits the delicate negotiations involved in Gregorian calendar reform, the intricate and entirely unique system employed by the Maya, and how the problem of synchronizing clocks at different locations ultimately required us to abandon the idea of time as an absolute and universal quantity. Sharp and engaging, A Brief History of Timekeeping is a story not just about the science of sundials, sandglasses, and mechanical clocks, but also the politics of calendars and time zones, the philosophy of measurement, and the nature of space and time itself.
