Synopsis

This military history examines the development of French Army doctrine from the end of WWI to the disastrous German invasion of WWII. The importance of military doctrine has never been more powerfully demonstrated than in May of 1940, when France suffered a swift collapse in the face of German aggression. Though the French had spent twenty years preparing for just such an event, their military was defenseless against the type of fighting they suddenly faced. Few defeats have been so unexpected.  In The Seeds of Disaster, military historian Robert Doughty examines the doctrinal origins of this historic failure. Doughty traces the development of the French Army’s military doctrine from 1919 to 1939, revealing how its fundamental misunderstandings of modern warfare led to an elaborate yet inept system of defense.

    Marco Emilio Polo, born in Venice, was a Venetian merchant, explorer, and writer who became renowned for his extraordinary travels across Asia between 1271 and 1295. His journey, which spanned much of the Silk Road, was chronicled in The Travels of Marco Polo, also known as Book of the Marvels of the World and Il Milione (circa 1300). This book introduced Europeans to the vast and mysterious cultures of the East, revealing the immense wealth and size of the Mongol Empire and the Yuan Dynasty in China. It provided the first detailed European account of countries like Persia, India, Japan, and several other regions in Asia, offering a window into worlds previously unknown to the West. 
    Marco's journey was influenced by his family’s mercantile background. His father and uncles, Niccolò and Maffeo Polo, were established traders who had ventured into Asia, meeting the powerful Mongol leader, Kublai Khan. In 1269, after returning to Venice, they reunited with Marco and set off again for Asia. Along the Silk Road, they encountered various cultures and challenges before reaching Cathay, modern-day China, where they were welcomed by Kublai Khan’s court. The Khan was impressed with Marco’s intelligence and demeanor, appointing him as his foreign emissary. This role allowed Marco to undertake diplomatic missions across the Mongol Empire and beyond, traveling to places such as Burma, India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia.

    How good is the NHS, really?
    That is the question this book seeks to answer, as the health service emerges from the gravest crisis in its history with more money – but greater challenges – than ever before.
    During the pandemic, voters made extraordinary sacrifices to save the NHS from collapse. Thanks to these efforts and the dedication and bravery of the NHS workforce, hospitals were able to treat patients with coronavirus, but millions of others lost out. Now an exhausted and depleted NHS workforce faces a huge backlog. The gap between supply and demand for publicly funded healthcare has never been so wide.
    With record numbers waiting for treatment, the politicians' answer has been to spend ever more taxpayers' money. The question is whether throwing cash at the problem will work.
    Every day, millions of patients receive care that is fair, good or outstanding. In keeping with Nye Bevan's founding principles, the same treatment is available to rich and poor, free at the point of need. Public support for the concept remains overwhelming. Yet for every positive NHS experience there are negatives: care that is substandard, disjointed and arrives too late. A cult of secrecy surrounds errors and failings. Politicians on all sides dissemble and lie.
    This book seeks to strip away the spin and uncover the true state of the NHS: the good, the bad and the ugly. It explores an increasingly urgent question: in an era of pandemics, can the NHS provide the quality of service patients deserve?

    “How emotional you are!”  
    So often we hear this comment from a friend or a family member.   
    Mostly we fumble as we think of a response because we do not know what to say as we cannot relate to what it means to be ‘emotional.’  
    Emotions make us human.  
    They give us information about what is going on inside us.  
    Emotional Quotient (EQ) is the level of awareness of what is taking place or going to take place. It is the ability to comprehend and use that knowledge effectively. Emotions help us reflect on how we are mentally equipped to give our life direction. Our emotional responses make us win friends, build healthy relationships or lose them. It is our EQ that allows us to stay ahead at work, and be focused and cheerful.   
    In recent times there is a lot of focus on one dimension of human well-being, physical health.  
    But then, physical health is just one part of our overall health. A partial one.  
    The equation to have a healthy life begins with a healthy and high EQ plus a healthy mind.  
    Once these two, our emotional quotient (EQ) and mental health (MH) are in place then our physical health (PH) will be in good shape. If we have a high EQ then even if we have any physical illness it will not make us stressed or discouraged to live a good and effective life. This seems understandable and logical but is very difficult to follow. This is where this book helps. Not only to open the perspective of well-being and health to have a multidimensional outlook but also to sustain it. too,
