  The Swift Conquest - Unraveling...

  The rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party did not occur in isolation but was the culmination of a confluence of societal, economic, and political factors. Post-World War I Germany was a nation in turmoil, grappling with humiliation, economic devastation, and political instability. The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, placed the blame for the war squarely on Germany's shoulders, imposing severe reparations that crippled its economy. The German people, burdened by hyperinflation, unemployment, and poverty, became disillusioned with the democratic Weimar Republic, which they perceived as weak and ineffectual. 
  Amid this chaos, Hitler emerged as a figure of radical change. A decorated veteran of the First World War, Hitler initially joined the German Workers’ Party, a small and obscure nationalist group. With his fiery oratory skills and an unrelenting focus on propaganda, he quickly rose to prominence, transforming the group into the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), or the Nazi Party. Hitler’s message was simple yet potent: he promised to restore Germany to greatness, overturn the Treaty of Versailles, and provide a scapegoat for the nation’s suffering—the Jewish people and other minorities. 
  By the early 1920s, Hitler had crafted a political doctrine that combined virulent nationalism, anti-Semitism, and a disdain for democracy. He also sought to exploit the populace’s fears of communism, which was gaining traction in Europe following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. The failed Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, an attempted coup in Munich, briefly landed Hitler in prison. However, this setback proved instrumental to his ideological development, as he used the time to dictate Mein Kampf, a manifesto outlining his vision for Germany’s future and the expansion of Lebensraum, or "living space," for the German people.

  Chapter 1: The Natural: You will learn about what it means for something to be considered natural. 
  Chapter 2: Government: You will learn what constitutes the nature of government and why it may be considered "unnatural." This is the main bulk of the book. Within this section, the world's biggest lie is exposed, in order to put an end to countless decades of suffering. 
  Chapter 3: Anarchy: You will learn what constitutes the real definition of "anarchy" many people do not learn about, and why it may be considered "natural." We come to understand that our reality is not the way it actually is supposed to be. 
  Chapter 4: Moral Suasion: You will learn about what it means to share this knowledge, how to put it into action and why it will benefit society immensely. It becomes apparent that morality and nature are core to our human existence moving forward. 
  Back of book: It's dangerous to question mankind when nature is disregarded. This is an honest evaluation for an honest world. People claim that they care about nature then proceed to claim that we cannot live without government. They then claim that we can't live with anarchy. Yet, there are lies so strong and evident that proves government to be unnatural, and therefore unfit to exist. Also, truths so strong and evident that proves anarchy to be natural, the way of life that must be understood and embraced. Many lives are in the hands of the few who create evil; but you are of the many, and with this knowledge you allow the many to be empowered to disregard the few. Nature will never be disregarded again, evil will never gain power again. It starts with your nature, if you are willing to use it in reading this book. You can liberate the world for all of time, for true freedom, health and happiness. Nature is all of time and we must learn to use our time wisely, if we care.

  The United States of English -...

  The story of how English became American—and how it became Southern, Bostonian, Californian, African American, Chicano, elite, working-class, urban, rural, and everything in between 
   
   
   
  By the time of the Revolution, the English that Americans spoke was recognizably different from the British variety. Americans added dozens of new words to the language, either borrowed from Native Americans (raccoon, persimmon, caucus) or created from repurposed English (backwoods, cane brake, salt lick). Americans had their own pronunciations (bath rhymed with hat, not hot) and their own spelling (honor, not honour), not to mention a host of new expressions that grew out of the American landscape and culture (blaze a trail, back track, pull up stakes). Americans even invented their own slang, like stiff as a ringbolt to mean drunk. American English has continued to grow and change ever since. 
   
   
   
  The United States of English tells the engrossing tale of how the American language evolved over four hundred years, explaining both how and why it changed and which parts of the "mother tongue" it preserved (I guess was heard in the British countryside long before it became a typical Americanism). Plentiful examples of the American vernacular, past and present, bring the language to life and make for an engaging as well as enlightening listen.

  "Think of Singapore instead as the Air-Conditioned Nation—a society with a unique blend of comfort and central control, where people have mastered their environment, but at the cost of individual autonomy, and at the risk of unsustainability." 
   
  Air-Conditioned Nation Revisited is an anthology of essays on Singapore politics by Cherian George. It draws upon his influential collection Singapore: The Air-Conditioned Nation (2000), on the country's politics of comfort and control, and from Singapore, Incomplete (2017), on its underdeveloped democracy. Updated for the impending transition to a new generation of leaders, this 20th anniversary edition of Air-Conditioned Nation offers critical reflections on continuity and change in Singapore’s unique political culture.
