  Twenty-five years after the attacks of September 11, 2001, former Canadian intelligence analyst Phil Gurski delivers a sober and deeply informed assessment of what the world misunderstood about terrorism, intelligence, and national security in the aftermath of 9/11. Drawing on decades inside Canada’s intelligence community, 9/11 The Unfinished Battle examines how the Global War on Terror reshaped governments, intelligence agencies, geopolitics, and civil liberties—while failing to eliminate the threat it sought to destroy.
  		 
  Far from a retrospective history, this book is a forward-looking analysis of how terrorism, espionage, foreign interference, and transnational repression continue to evolve. Gurski argues that the West’s greatest mistake was assuming the threat landscape had fundamentally changed, when in reality many of the same ideological and geopolitical forces remain firmly in place. Combining intelligence insight with geopolitical analysis, 9/11 The Unfinished Battle offers a pragmatic blueprint for building long-term security without sacrificing democratic values.
  		 
  “Phil Gurski delivers a clear, compelling, and deeply informed account of the global War on Terror, from its violent beginnings to the unstable world it has helped create today.” — Martin Gallagher, PhD
  		 
  Ideal for readers of Malcolm Gladwell, Ben Rhodes, and contemporary geopolitical nonfiction, this is an essential examination of the unfinished legacy of 9/11—and what comes next.

  Human Nature

  The poems in Human Nature offer a stunning and tender ecology. It’s impossible to turn away from the awe and beauty, even as the poems also engage in playfulness and grief and resistance. In these deeply spiritual poems, the body is intricately bound to the natural world. As readers of this work, we can feel both the immense power and smallness of our human hands trembling in each shimmering line. 
  —Stacey Waite, author of Butch Geography 
  Embodying a rainbow of emotions, the poetry of Paschold grounds the reader to the world around them and those that inhabit it, big and small. 
  —Joel Sartore Photography - Office Staff 
  Julie Paschold takes a bold swing right in the title of her collection Human Nature, the delineation of which has been the prime ambition of literary folks since the first someone put pen to paper. Even, or especially, when “[w]e thin-skinned hairless beings” look outside ourselves at spiders and crocodile icefish, we also hold up a mirror in order to study our own reflection. Who can’t at times identify with “a prairie vole, / popcorn of the prairie, / . . . everything is out to eat me”? And it’s not just our fellow critters we see ourselves in: Even “[t]he sky has a sliver caught in her thumb.” It's this commonality which drives the poems and helps us understand where and how we fit in. 
  —JV Brummels, author of All the Live-Long Day

  The Art Of War - The Classic...

  Lionel Giles, Sun Tzu

  • 0

  There are many versions of this work in English, and it is included as a useful reflection once one has pondered Daoism’s key texts. The title is properly ‘'Sun Tzu's Military Method'. It was written at the time of the Dao and Zhuang Zi, several centuries before the Lieh Tzu. For fifteen hundred years, it was part of China’s canonical strategic anthology, which became known as the Seven Military Classics.In modern Anglophone culture it is often the only strategic text someone has read, supplanting and exceeding the previous dominant strategic text (von Clausewitz’s On War, 1832, tr. 1874). Leaders from Mao Zedong and Takeda Shingen to Võ Nguyên Giáp and Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. have explicitly acknowledged the book’s influence on them. This translation is notably the second major version of it in English. It follows a translation by Everard Ferguson Calthrop that Giles found deeply contemptible, as one can see from the introduction. It is important to note that most scholars do not consider the Art of War one of the classic Daoist texts. While it is a product and application of the philosophy, it is more of an exegetical monograph than a consideration of the philosophical underpinnings of Daoism. Much like the Zhuang Zi, it takes the core ideas and realizes them in specific practical situations. It does so with such certainty that many contest it as a ‘true’ Daoist work. As you will see from the discussions embedded elsewhere, the key Daoist texts value contradiction and paradox far too much to be as procedurally simple as the Art of War is.It is not clear that this criticism is fair, however. A much kinder perspective is that Daoism’s great failure is in its apparent lack of any utilitarian or social value. While Confucianism provides a balance, Sun Tzu’s work attempts to build a more practical version of Daoism than the key texts allow for.
