Ernest Shackleton - The...

Kelly Mass

Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton was an Anglo-Irish polar explorer whose remarkable journeys cemented his place among the most important figures of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Shackleton's story is one of daring, leadership, and resilience, traits that made him a legendary figure in the annals of exploration.
Born in Kilkea, County Kildare, Ireland, on February 15, 1874, Shackleton moved to Sydenham, south London, at the age of ten with his Anglo-Irish family. His early life was marked by a sense of adventure that would shape his future endeavors. Shackleton's first significant exposure to the polar regions came in 1901 when he joined Captain Robert Falcon Scott's Discovery expedition as a third officer. Although Shackleton’s time on the expedition was cut short due to health concerns, he had already proven his determination by marching to a new southern record of latitude 82°S, alongside Scott and Edward Adrian Wilson. Despite being sent home early, Shackleton had tasted the allure of the polar regions and was eager for more.
The opportunity came in 1907 when Shackleton led the Nimrod expedition to Antarctica. During this journey, he and three companions ventured farther south than any explorer before them, reaching 88°S, just 97 geographical miles from the South Pole. This achievement was monumental, representing the greatest advancement toward the pole at the time. In addition to their groundbreaking southern march, the team also made history by summiting Mount Erebus, Antarctica’s most active volcano. Shackleton returned a hero and was knighted by King Edward VII for his daring exploits.

The Berlin Wall - Its Beginnings...

Kelly Mass

From 1961 until 1989, the Berlin Wall stood as a stark symbol of division, not only physically separating the city of Berlin but also representing the broader ideological rift between the East and the West during the Cold War. On August 13, 1961, the German Democratic Republic (GDR), or East Germany, began constructing this formidable barrier. The Wall effectively cut off West Berlin from the rest of East Germany, including East Berlin, solidifying the physical and ideological separation between the communist East and the capitalist West. 
The structure itself was much more than just a wall; it was an elaborate system of fortifications. It included massive concrete walls, watchtowers, and a wide expanse known as the "death strip." This zone was equipped with anti-vehicle trenches, barbed wire, and other brutal defenses to prevent East Germans from escaping to the West. The Berlin Wall was not merely a barrier for the sake of separation; it was a powerful representation of the GDR's fear of its citizens escaping the supposedly superior socialist state.

Delusion and Dream

Sigmud Freud

Freud examines the similarities and differences between the two mental states, and argues that delusions can be understood as a kind of waking dream. He also discusses the role of wish fulfillment in both dreams and delusions, and suggests that they both provide insight into the unconscious mind. Additionally, Freud analyzes specific cases of delusions, including religious delusions and paranoid delusions, and discusses their psychological significance. Overall, "Delusion and Dream" provides a thought-provoking examination of the workings of the human mind and the relationship between conscious and unconscious mental states. Read in English, unabridged.

The Russian FSB - A Concise...

Kevin P. Riehle

Since its founding in 1995, the FSB, Russia's Federal Security Service, has regained the majority of the domestic security functions of the Soviet-era KGB. Under Vladimir Putin, who served as FSB director just before becoming president, the agency has grown to be one of the most powerful and favored organizations in Russia. The FSB not only conducts internal security but also has primacy in intelligence operations in former Soviet states. Their activities include anti-dissident operations at home and abroad, counterintelligence, counterterrorism, criminal investigations of crimes against the state, and guarding Russia's borders. 
 
 
 
In The Russian FSB, Kevin P. Riehle provides a brief history of the FSB's origins, placed within the context of Russian history, the government's power structure, and Russia's wider culture. He describes how the FSB's mindset and priorities show continuities from the tsarist regimes and the Soviet era. The book's chapters analyze origins, organizational structure, missions, leaders, international partners, and cultural representations such as the FSB in film and television. 
 
 
 
Based on both English and Russian sources, this book is a well-researched introduction to understanding the FSB and its central role in Putin's Russia.
