Summary

In Patterns of Power, we embark on a captivating journey to explore the intricate and multifaceted nature of power. This comprehensive book delves into the historical, social, political, and cultural contexts of power, offering a profound understanding of its dynamics and impact on our world.

We begin by examining the evolution of power structures across civilizations, analyzing how power has been wielded by individuals and institutions throughout history. We investigate the psychology of power, shedding light on the motivations and behaviors of those who seek and maintain power, as well as the effects of power on those subjected to it.

Furthermore, we explore the relationship between power and various societal institutions, including politics, economics, and culture. We examine how power shapes political decision-making, economic policies, and cultural norms, and how these institutions, in turn, perpetuate and reinforce power structures. We also investigate the role of media, education, and religion in shaping perceptions of power and the ways in which these institutions can be used to maintain or challenge existing power dynamics.

Additionally, we delve into the complex relationship between power and technology. We explore how technological advancements have transformed the ways in which power is exercised and experienced, and the implications of these changes for individuals, societies, and the world at large. We discuss the potential of technology to empower individuals and promote social change, while also considering the risks and challenges associated with its use and misuse.

Throughout the book, we draw upon a wide range of case studies, historical examples, and contemporary issues to illustrate the diverse manifestations of power and its impact on our lives. We encourage readers to engage critically with the concepts and theories presented, fostering a deeper understanding of power dynamics and their implications for social justice, equality, and human flourishing.

Patterns of Power is an essential read for anyone seeking a comprehensive exploration of power and its intricate workings in our world. It is a thought-provoking and enlightening work that challenges conventional perspectives and inspires readers to think critically about the nature of power and its role in shaping our societies and lives.

    Presciently researched before the invasion of Ukraine, Blowing up Ukraine is the first comprehensive investigation into the lethal methods Russia has used since 1999 to take over Ukraine – culminating in full-blown unprovoked war in 2022 and mounting atrocities. In this chilling, riveting and alarming narrative the authors cite ample evidence, draw historical analogies, and marshal sources that are new, little known, or anonymous by necessity.Over twenty years, Vladimir Putin skilfully manipulated Ukraine's self-serving politicians and oligarchs, only to be thwarted time and again by peaceful revolutions of ordinary Ukrainians – the Maidan – against government corruption and being pushed into Russia's arms. As Putin became obsessed with conquering Ukraine, Blowing up Ukraine shows how the Kremlin has become a threat to global stability and Ukraine is almost certain to be the first battleground of World War III if the West is not careful to take a stance

    They Told Us To Move: Dakota—Cassia

    What happens when an entire community is moved?  
 
Dakota Crescent was one of Singapore's oldest public housing estates and a rental flat neighbourhood for low-income households. In 2016, its residents—many of whom are elderly—were relocated to Cassia Crescent to make way for redevelopment. To help them resettle, a group of volunteers came together and formed the Cassia Resettlement Team. 
 
They Told Us to Move tells the story of the relocation through interviews with the residents from the Dakota community and reflections by the volunteers. Accompanying these are essays by various academics on urban planning; gender and family; ageing, poverty, and social services; civil society and citizenship; and architectural heritage and place-making. Through this three-part conversation, the book explores human stories of devotion, expectation, and remembrance. It asks what we can achieve through voluntary action and how we can balance self-reliance and public services. 
 
This book is for people who want to understand the kind of society we are, and question what kind of society we want to be.

    My aim with this book is to help bring some clarity and a sense of direction to adults and younger people alike. 
As an adult, if you find yourself kind of stuck, say you’ve had a fair amount of experiences up to this point, you are financially independent and overall pretty content but feel you kind of lost contact with some of your dreams and aspirations from around…10 years ago…keep on reading. 
Or, if you’re a student who feels overwhelmed in today’s world where we’re all constantly flooded by the online medium which fights for each second of our attention and distorts reality by feeding us fake reference points…keep on reading. 
It’s completely understandable how someone can feel lost and not know what to do with one’s life. 
While I do not claim to hold an absolute truth, I firmly believe that this book can and will be seen as a clear and solid starting point in helping you find at least some answers to questions you have or may have, whether you’re an adult looking to improve your life, or a student feeling your life is just starting out. 
In short, my idea was to take Abraham Maslow’s Expanded Hierarchy of Needs and pump it full of steroids. 
I wanted to take this pyramid and turn it into a tesseract. 
Ok…so maybe that fifth cup of coffee at 3 a.m. wasn’t such a good idea after all.
