Was It Worth It?

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

War is a complex and challenging phenomenon that has been with us for centuries. It is a topic that has been debated by philosophers, theologians, and political leaders for millennia. In this book, we explore the moral, ethical, and practical dimensions of war in a comprehensive and accessible manner.

We begin by examining the just war tradition and its principles, which have been used for centuries to justify or condemn the use of military force. We then consider the arguments for and against war from a variety of perspectives, including pacifism, realism, and humanitarian intervention.

We also explore the decision-making process that leads to war, the conduct of war, and the aftermath of war. We consider the role of leaders, the influence of public opinion, and the impact of new technologies on the decision to go to war. We also discuss the moral limits on the use of force, the responsibility to protect civilians, and the challenges of post-war reconstruction and peacebuilding.

This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the moral issues surrounding war. It is a valuable resource for students, scholars, policymakers, and anyone else who is interested in making informed judgments about the use of military force.

In this book, you will find:

* A clear and comprehensive overview of the moral issues involved in war

Mother's Secret - A...

Marilyn Walls

Artfully blending the genres of memoir and scientific research, Mother's Secret: A Nutritionist's View of Family and Alzheimer's Disease offers the compelling story of one woman's southern roots. She is familiar, perhaps like your mother or grandmother, a woman who gained strength during the upheavals of the Great Depression and World War II. Her independence served her well until dementia overwhelmed her and challenged her relationship with her daughters. 
Sadly, the spread of progressive brain disorders is wider than the Mississippi River. Mother's Secret, a hybrid book confronting these issues, combines personal experiences with information about a healthful diet, the benefits of botanicals, and current discoveries about brain function. Walls' powerful story will resonate with families affected by Alzheimer's, students in holistic or social programs, those wanting to make better choices for their own cognitive health, and anyone who likes a good read. While looking directly at the realities of Alzheimer's, the narrative transcends the disease to reveal both the loss and the glory of this mother's life.

Over the Years - Selected...

Gillian Bickley, Verner Bickley

The fifty poems collected in Gillian Bickley’s Over The Years have been chosen by Verner Bickley from her five previously published collections. 
“Sensitive, serious, sincere and sometimes a little sad...." (Dumitru M. Ion ( Romania), Member of the Arts and Sciences Academy in R. Macedonia, etc.,2014) 
"Driven by curiosity as a poet but also by responsibility as the president of "The International Festival Curtea de Argeş Poetry Nights" in Romania (There have been twenty editions, attended in total by over fifteen hundred guests from about a hundred countries), I read and translate the lyrics of hundreds of poets. That's how I discovered the exceptional poet Gillian Bickley from Hong Kong. What firstly drew my attention was the savant level of her poetry; the science of balancing the rational with the sentiment. Each of her poems is sometimes a small novel, an essay or at other times a lyrical sublimate. Her poems are remembrances: from the past (an ancient past, a medieval past, and so on), from her own past or a possible reader's past. The way of shaping her poetry especially fascinates the professional reader. Because, of course, a professional poet (as Gillian Bickley is) will always need a professional reader.” – Dumitru M. Ion, 2016.
