Sinopsis

Birth Giver Value explores the high cultural significance of motherhood in agrarian societies, revealing how female fertility was crucial for community survival. It highlights the intertwining of childbirth with agrarian life's cultural, economic, and spiritual aspects, challenging simplistic views of patriarchal structures by showing how women's reproductive capabilities often afforded them considerable social standing. For instance, the book examines how agrarian societies elevated motherhood due to the essential role of mothers in ensuring the continuity of traditions and the labor force, demonstrating that this reverence was rooted in the practical realities of agrarian survival.

 
The book uniquely focuses on motherhood within agrarian societies, moving beyond generalizations to explore how agricultural practices shape perceptions of women. It unfolds by first introducing the concept of "birth giver value" and then presenting case studies from pre-industrial European villages, traditional Asian farming communities, and indigenous American agricultural societies. By drawing on anthropological sources, including ethnographic studies and historical documents, the book progresses to analyze the implications of birth giver value in contemporary social issues, such as declining birth rates and the changing roles of women.

    This is the story of how I tried to get the Hunter Biden laptop evidence to the authorities. 
     
     
     
    My life changed forever on April 12, 2019, when Hunter Biden stumbled into my shop requesting data recovery from one of his liquid-damaged laptops. After his father announced his candidacy for president of the United States, and Hunter failed to pay for and collect his computer, fear for my safety grew. There was paperwork in Hunter's possession giving me permission to examine and copy his data—someone was going to come looking for the laptop, and come looking for me. Concerned that I was sitting on evidence in a criminal investigation, I set out to hand everything over to the FBI. But, feeling betrayed by the FBI's inaction in providing the laptop as evidence during the impeachment trial, I then turned to Congress, and ultimately, to a lawyer for the president, Rudy Giuliani. When the story broke, Big Tech and social and mainstream media blocked the reporting. I was instantly labeled as a hacker and a criminal. My actions were labeled Russian disinformation, and it didn't take long before people started attacking my business and my character, forcing me to close my shop and flee the state.

    The pulsing beat of its nightlife has long drawn travelers to the streets of Shanghai, where the night scene is a crucial component of the city’s image as a global metropolis. In Shanghai Nightscapes, sociologist James Farrer and historian Andrew David Field examine the cosmopolitan nightlife culture that first arose in Shanghai in the 1920s and that has been experiencing a revival since the 1980s. Drawing on over twenty years of fieldwork and hundreds of interviews, the authors spotlight a largely hidden world of nighttime pleasures—the dancing, drinking, and socializing going on in dance clubs and bars that have flourished in Shanghai over the last century. The book begins by examining the history of the jazz-age dance scenes that arose in the ballrooms and nightclubs of Shanghai’s foreign settlements. During its heyday in the 1930s, Shanghai was known worldwide for its jazz cabarets that fused Chinese and Western cultures. The 1990s have seen the proliferation of a drinking, music, and sexual culture collectively constructed to create new contact zones between the local and tourist populations. Today’s Shanghai night scenes are simultaneously spaces of inequality and friction, where men and women from many different walks of life compete for status and attention, and spaces of sociability, in which intercultural communities are formed. Shanghai Nightscapes highlights the continuities in the city’s nightlife across a turbulent century, as well as the importance of the multicultural agents of nightlife in shaping cosmopolitan urban culture in China’s greatest global city.

    Both, namely the Heart and Mind, are the basic ingredients for forming a humble person. 
    The heart is like a small child who if left alone will endanger himself and others, Mind is like a 
    parent who if there are no children, the completeness of the family becomes unbalanced. The 
    heart will be good if it comes from wise directions at the level of reason, but it will be bad if it 
    comes from directions to the lack of understanding of the Mind. 
    This reason is also developed into a beautiful sentence from the scholars of wisdom, namely 
    العقل السليم فى الجسم التسليم 
    "A good reason is found in a good body" 
    in that sentence, there are those who say that its application is very dialectical, meaning that not 
    only is the reason mentioned first, all humans are able to implement it. the meaning of that 
    sentence is that the body can be the first application. dialectic is one of the evidences of a fact 
    where something cannot be 
    a thing that stops statically or definitely, it is so easy to move position from the beginning to 
    point A to point B, from being at point B a minute later it can be positioned at 
    point A, the most important part in this case is Nothing Is Out of the Participation 
    of the Almighty. Namely "a good body is very strongly bound to a good mind" 
    then it becomes; 
    الجسم السليم فى العقل التسليم 
    According to the famous Cultural Expert and Scholar Emha Ainun Nadjib, the following are the 
    various kinds of inversions of a dialectic, which are the diversity of perspectives and ways of 
    thinking of every human being who is willing to process it, for the sake of continuity and 
    suitability of a life path that is carried out.

    A monumental new history of British conflict, publishing for the eightieth anniversary of VE Day 
    'Impressive. A hundred individual histories, skillfully assembled, built into a poignant meditation on why they still matter' David Olusoga 
    'Brilliant' Piers Morgan 
    Published for the eightieth anniversary of the end of World War Two, this moving book examines the inspirations and individuals behind our memorial-studded country. Acclaimed historian Tessa Dunlop travels the length and breadth of the United Kingdom on a quest to uncover a story of national warring and national mourning, of fighting each other and of fighting together. In so doing, Lest We Forget summons a stellar cast of veterans, military experts and families of the fallen to reveal what our monuments and war heroes say about us, both then and now. 
    Why did Scotland take nearly 600 years to commemorate its most famous freedom fighter? When did Wellington become anti-Establishment? Who are the Glorious Dead? Can the Cenotaph stay above politics? And how do you commemorate contested, asymmetrical wars? 
    Through veteran testimony and contemporary voices like Falklands hero Simon Weston and HRH The Duke of Kent, Tessa brings to life the pride and the pain involved in commemorating 2,000 years of war and peace across Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales in a monumental British story. 
    Lest We Forget, freedom is not free. 
    'In this wonderfully incisive, moving and timely book about commemoration, Dunlop breathes life into 100 British monuments – some famous, others less so – that together reveal our island story. A stunning achievement.' Saul David 
    Dunlop's latest work, Lest We Forget, is a top pick for history enthusiasts. This non-fiction book, set to be a bestseller, explores the conflicts that have shaped our nation and the heroes who have emerged from them. 
    For fans of Alexander Larman (Power and Glory), Sally Bedell Smith (Grace & Power), J. Randy Taraborrelli (Jackie, Janet & Lee), Betty Webb (No More Secrets), and Michael Smith (The Real Special Relationship).
