Synopsis

In an era defined by increasing individualism and social fragmentation, the concept of community has taken on renewed significance. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of community, delving into its historical roots, contemporary manifestations, and future prospects.

The book begins by examining the origins of the idea of community in Western thought, tracing its evolution from utopian visions to anthropological studies of traditional societies. It then analyzes the impact of modernity on community, highlighting the forces that have led to its erosion in recent centuries.

However, the book also recognizes the resurgence of interest in community in recent decades. It discusses the rise of communitarian thought, identity politics, and the role of technology in fostering new forms of community. It also explores the challenges posed by globalization and environmental degradation to community formation.

Through its interdisciplinary approach, the book provides a nuanced understanding of the complex and multifaceted nature of community in the 21st century. It examines the role of community in promoting social justice, economic development, health, and environmental sustainability. It also considers the challenges posed by the digital age and the impact of globalization on community formation.

Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the concept of community. It is essential reading for scholars, policymakers, activists, and anyone seeking to build stronger and more resilient communities in a rapidly changing world.

This book offers a timely and thought-provoking examination of one of the most fundamental aspects of human existence. It is an invitation to reflect on the significance of community, to celebrate its enduring power, and to envision new ways of building strong and resilient communities in the face of the challenges of the 21st century.

Phaedo - Plato

Plato

Phaedo is one of the dialogues written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. It is a philosophical exploration of the nature of the soul, the afterlife, and the concept of knowledge. The dialogue is set on the day of Socrates' execution, and it recounts the conversation between Socrates and his followers, including Phaedo, about his impending death and their beliefs about the soul. 
Throughout the dialogue, Socrates argues that the soul is immortal and that the pursuit of knowledge is the key to achieving true wisdom. He uses a variety of analogies, including the idea of the soul being like a prisoner trapped in the body, to illustrate his points. Socrates also discusses the theory of Forms, which holds that there is a separate, ideal realm of existence that contains perfect and eternal Forms or Ideas, such as Beauty or Justice, that the physical world merely approximates. 
Phaedo is considered one of Plato's most influential works, and it continues to be studied and debated by philosophers and scholars today. Its themes of the nature of the soul, the afterlife, and the pursuit of knowledge are central to many philosophical and religious traditions, and its exploration of these concepts continues to be relevant to contemporary discussions in ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics.

Middle East in World War I The:...

Editors Charles River

World War I, also known in its time as the “Great War” or the “War to End all Wars”, was an unprecedented holocaust in terms of its sheer scale. Fought by men who hailed from all corners of the globe, it saw millions of soldiers do battle in brutal assaults of attrition which dragged on for months with little to no respite. Tens of millions of artillery shells and untold hundreds of millions of rifle and machine gun bullets were fired in a conflict that demonstrated man’s capacity to kill each other on a heretofore unprecedented scale, and as always, such a war brought about technological innovation at a rate that made the boom of the Industrial Revolution seem stagnant.  
	Most books and documentaries about the First World War focus on the carnage of the Western Front, where Germany faced off against France, the British Empire, and their allies in a grueling slugfest that wasted millions of lives. The shattered landscape of the trenches has become symbolic of the war as a whole, and it is this experience that everyone associates with World War I, but that front was not the only experience. There was the more mobile Eastern Front, as well as mountain warfare in the Alps and scattered fighting in Africa and the Far East. 
	Then there was the Middle Eastern Front, fought across the Levant and Mesopotamia, which captured the imagination of the European public. There, the British and their allies fought the Ottoman Turkish Empire under harsh desert conditions hundreds of miles from home, struggling for possession of places most people only knew from the Bible and the Koran.
