Sinopse

"Artificial Borders Conflicts" examines how artificially imposed borders, often drawn by colonial powers with little regard for existing populations, continue to fuel conflict and instability worldwide. The book argues these borders aren't just lines; they actively shape political landscapes. It's crucial to understand the history of imperialism, such as the scramble for Africa, to understand the contemporary geopolitical landscape. These borders often disrupt social structures and exacerbate inter-group tensions, directly causing conflict. The book explores the historical context of artificial border creation, the socio-political ramifications for affected populations, and the long-term impact on international relations. 

 
Beginning with a theoretical framework for border studies, the book progresses chronologically and thematically, analyzing specific cases across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Consider the Sykes-Picot Agreement, where arbitrary lines redrew the Middle East, impacting current conflicts. The book analyzes potential solutions and strategies for mitigating the negative impacts of these borders. 

 
Through historical records, treaties, maps, demographic data, and case studies, the book demonstrates the impact of artificial borders. Readers will gain insights into the underlying causes of ongoing conflicts and critically evaluate policy proposals related to border management, conflict resolution, and international development. The book also addresses debates surrounding sovereignty, self-determination, and the legacy of colonialism.

    Max Heindel is recognized as one of the greatest western mystics of the 20th century and he is the founder of the Rosicrucian Fellowship and author of a number of essential Rosicrucian works.  
    First published in 1916, Heindel's "The Rosicrucian Mysteries" is regarded as a classic work providing a guide for students to understand basic Rosicrucian teachings. 
    Max Heindel's mysticism is set firmly in the western tradition of the Gnosis. Following a series of disappointments and ill health, Heindel claims to have been visited by a Spiritual Being, who he identified as an Elder Brother of the Rosicrucian Order. From this entity he received a compelling explanation of the spiritual evolution of both the Cosmos and Humanity, couched in terms best suited to the logical, linear mind of western culture. 
      
    "The Rosicrucian Mysteries" is an elementary exposition of these teachings and training methods, and a perfect introduction to the philosophy of this important teacher of the Western Mystery Tradition.

    How can we avoid worst-case scenarios? 
    From Nineteen Eighty-Four to Black Mirror, we are all familiar with the tropes of dystopian science fiction. But what if worst-case scenarios could actually become reality? And what if we could do something now to put the world on a better path? 
    In Avoiding the Worst, Tobias Baumann lays out the concept of risks of future suffering (s-risks). With a focus on s-risks that are both realistic and avoidable, he argues that we have strong reasons to consider their reduction a top priority. Finally, he turns to the question of what we can do to help steer the world away from s-risks and towards a brighter future.

    Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop was the largest landowner and richest woman in the Hawaiian kingdom. Upon her death in 1884, she entrusted her property--known as Bishop Estate--to five trustees in order to create and maintain an institution that would benefit the children of Hawai‘i: Kamehameha Schools. A century later, Bishop Estate controlled nearly one out of every nine acres in the state, a concentration of private land ownership rarely seen anywhere in the world. Then in August 1997 the unthinkable happened: Four revered kupuna (native Hawaiian elders) and a professor of trust law publicly charged Bishop Estate trustees with gross incompetence and massive trust abuse. Entitled "Broken Trust," the statement provided devastating details of rigged appointments, violated trusts, cynical manipulation of the trust's beneficiaries, and the shameful involvement of many of Hawai‘i's powerful. 
    No one is better qualified to examine the events and personalities surrounding the scandal than two of the original "Broken Trust" authors. Their comprehensive account together with historical background, brings to light information that has never before been made public, including accounts of secret meetings and communications involving Supreme Court justices.

    Over the last 2,000 years, ambitious men have dreamed of forging vast empires and attaining eternal glory in battle, but of all the conquerors who took steps toward such dreams, none were ever as successful as antiquity’s first great conqueror. Leaders of the 20th century hoped to rival Napoleon’s accomplishments, while Napoleon aimed to emulate the accomplishments of Julius Caesar. But Caesar himself found inspiration in Alexander the Great (356-323 B.C.), the Macedonian King who managed to stretch an empire from Greece to the Himalayas in Asia at just 30 years old. It took less than 15 years for Alexander to conquer much of the known world. Although his empire was quickly divided, his legacy only grew, and Alexander became the stuff of legends even in his own time.  
    	In the history of war, only a select few men always make the list of greatest generals. Napoleon. Caesar. Alexander. They are always joined by Hannibal, who has the distinction of being the only man who nearly brought Rome to its knees before its decline almost 700 years later. Rome never suffered a more horrifying defeat in its history than at Cannae, and indeed, Hannibal nearly rewrote the course of Western history during the Second Punic War. Even today there remains great debate on just how he accomplished his masterful invasion of Italy across the Alps. Since his army included war elephants, historians still argue over exactly where and how he crossed over 2,000 years after he managed that incredible feat.  
    	The ultimate conqueror, statesman, dictator, visionary, and opportunist, during his time in power Caesar expanded the borders of Rome to almost twice their previous size, revolutionized the infrastructure of the Roman state, and destroyed the Roman Republic for good, leaving a line of emperors in its place. His legacy is so strong that his name has become, in many languages, synonymous with power.
