  The Falklands War (Guerra de las Malvinas) was a brief but intense conflict in the South Atlantic between Argentina and the United Kingdom. Fought over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands and their territorial dependencies—South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands—the war lasted from April to June 1982. The confrontation marked a significant chapter in the longstanding dispute between the two nations over these remote territories. 
  On April 2, 1982, Argentina launched an invasion of the Falkland Islands, quickly seizing control. The following day, Argentine forces invaded South Georgia. These aggressive actions were framed by the Argentine government as a reclamation of their sovereign territory, asserting claims they had maintained since the early 19th century. However, the United Kingdom, viewing the invasion as an attack on a British Crown colony, responded decisively. On April 5, the British government dispatched a naval task force to the South Atlantic. After intense naval and air engagements, the British launched an amphibious assault on the islands. The conflict concluded 74 days later, on June 14, 1982, with Argentina’s surrender and the restoration of British control over the islands.

  The major work of Rabbi Moses Almosnino (1515-1580), “Conduct of Life,” remains to this day an essential reference in classical Judeo-Spanish literature, now finally available in English in its first translation. First published in Ladino in 1564 as, Sefer Hanhagat hahayim and in 1729 as “Regimiento de la vida”, this three-volume edition is part of the prestigious collection Veritas è terra orietur. The work aims to disseminate the timeless teachings of ethics, in the words of the author: “In all that has been said, my intention is only to make you understand how the one who follows the path of virtue and customs of practising good and pure knowledge since childhood, lives a happy and fulfilled life (Volume 1, chapter 2)” The third volume deals with justice (Volume 3, chapters 1-3) and friendship (chapters 4-8 and 13), love (chapter 9), the five intellectual virtues: understanding, science, wisdom, prudence, and art (chapter 10-11), and the learning of sciences as a path to virtue (chapter 12). This work presents itself as a pedagogical endeavor, intended to provide advice for leading a virtuous life.“Conduct of Life” draws heavily from the Nicomachean Ethics but transcends this source by situating itself at the universal intersection of several traditions: Greco-Arabic philosophy, Judeo-Christian scholasticism, classical Sephardic Judaism, and medieval Jewish thought. Thus, this work contributes to peace and intercultural understanding among peoples.

  The Einstein Syndrome - Bright...

  The Einstein Syndrome is a follow-up to Late-Talking Children, which established Thomas Sowell as a leading spokesman on the subject of late-talking children. While many children who talk late suffer from developmental disorders or autism, there is a certain well-defined group who are developmentally normal or even quite bright, yet who may go past their fourth birthday before beginning to talk. These children are often misdiagnosed as autistic or retarded, a mistake that is doubly hard on parents who must first worry about their apparently handicapped children and then see them lumped into special classes and therapy groups where all the other children are clearly very different. Since he first became involved in this issue in the mid-90s, Sowell has joined with Stephen Camarata of Vanderbilt University, who has conducted a much broader, more rigorous study of this phenomenon than the anecdotes reported in Late-Talking Children. Sowell can now identify a particular syndrome, a cluster of common symptoms and family characteristics, that differentiates these late-talking children from others; relate this syndrome to other syndromes; speculate about its causes; and describe how children with this syndrome are likely to develop.
