Philip Snowden

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "Socialism and Syndicalism," Philip Snowden offers a profound examination of the political ideologies emerging from the industrial age, framing socialism and syndicalism as responses to the socio-economic conditions of the early 20th century. Written in a clear and engaging style, the book navigates the complexities of labor movements, critiquing both the capitalist framework and the shortcomings of existing Marxist institutions. Snowden's analysis draws on a rich tapestry of historical events and theoretical perspectives, positioning his arguments within the broader context of class struggle and workers' rights, while articulating a vision for collective action and societal transformation. Philip Snowden, a prominent British socialist and influential politician, was deeply embedded in the labor movement of his time, serving as a Member of Parliament and later as the first Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer. His personal experiences with socioeconomic injustices and firsthand involvement in labor activism significantly influenced his political outlook. Snowden's commitment to social justice and reform is palpable throughout the book, as he advocates for a revolutionary approach to labor rights, rooted in the principles of solidarity and self-management. This work is essential reading for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in the roots of modern socialism and labor rights. Snowden's incisive thought offers not only a historical perspective but also a call to action, urging contemporary readers to engage with the ideals of collective empowerment and to envision a more equitable future.

Making Makers - The Past the...

Michael P. M. Finch

Making Makers presents a comprehensive history of a seminal work of scholarship which has exerted a persistent attraction for scholars of war and strategy: Makers of Modern Strategy. It reveals the processes by which scholars conceived and devised the book, considering both successful and failed attempts to make and remake the work across the twentieth century, and illuminating its impact and legacy. It explains how and why these volumes took their particular forms, unearths the broader intellectual processes that shaped them, and reflects on the academic parameters of the study of war in the twentieth century. In presenting a complete genesis of the Makers project in the context of intellectual trends and historical contingency, this book reflects on a more complex and nuanced appraisal of the development of scholarship on war. In so doing it also offers contributions to the intellectual biographies of key figures in the history of war in the twentieth century, including Edward Mead Earle and Peter Paret. Making Makers contributes to an intellectual history of military history and contextualizes the place of history and historians in strategic and security studies. It is not only a history of the book, but a history of the networks of scholars involved in its creation, their careers, and lines of patronage, crossing international boundaries, from Europe to the USA, to Asia and Australia.

Emotional Abuse - Inflicting...

Cito Harder

Emotional abuse is one of the most insidious forms of mistreatment, often leaving deep psychological wounds that are not immediately visible. Unlike physical abuse, which leaves external scars, emotional abuse erodes a person’s sense of self-worth, independence, and emotional stability over time. It can occur in various relationships, including romantic partnerships, family dynamics, friendships, workplaces, and even societal structures. Understanding what emotional abuse is, how it manifests, and the long-term effects it has on victims is essential for recognizing and addressing it.
At its core, emotional abuse is a pattern of behavior aimed at controlling, belittling, or manipulating another person through psychological means. This can include gaslighting, where the abuser makes the victim question their own reality, constant criticism that undermines self-confidence, and emotional withholding, where love and affection are used as tools for control. Unlike one-time conflicts or disagreements, emotional abuse is a repeated, systematic approach that leaves the victim feeling trapped, powerless, and unworthy.
One of the most damaging aspects of emotional abuse is that it often happens gradually, making it difficult for victims to recognize. Many victims rationalize or minimize their experiences, believing that they are overreacting or that the abuser’s behavior is justified. Emotional abusers often shift blame onto their victims, making them feel responsible for the mistreatment. This cycle of manipulation creates emotional dependency, where the victim feels unable to leave the abusive situation due to fear, guilt, or the hope that things will improve.

Down to Earth Dharma - Insight...

Rebecca Bradshaw

Buddhist teachings and heart-centered practices from the "feminine paradigm" to embrace receptivity and bring more balance to your life, relationships, and the world. 
 
 
 
With deeply thoughtful, lyrical prose, this book invites listeners to engage with the world from a unique perspective that encourages feeling, intuitive understanding, embodiment, interdependence, and sacredness. Weaving together classical Theravada Buddhist teachings and mindfulness practices, the book teaches us when and how to channel our receptive and active orientations—sometimes called the feminine and masculine paradigms—to feel more at home in ourselves and the world and drop more deeply into the Buddhist teachings on suffering and happiness. 
 
 
 
Rebecca Bradshaw, a respected Buddhist teacher in the Insight Meditation community, offers teachings that are simple yet require us to explore aspects of ourselves that go against much of our social conditioning that values goal-oriented busyness, productivity, independence, outgoing energy, and other “active” qualities. When overemphasized, this orientation can cause destructive emotions and behaviors, but we can counter them by embracing more receptive qualities. The receptive or feminine paradigm takes us deeper into the heart of the classical Buddhist teachings, leading to openness and freedom of the heart-mind.
