Sinopsis

Aviation History explores the profound impact of flight, from kites and gliders to the modern jet age, fundamentally altering travel and warfare. It examines how aviation's evolution reshaped geopolitical landscapes and redefined the speed of global interactions. Consider that early military aviation rapidly advanced during World War I, leading to the development of aerial combat tactics and technologies.Also, the interwar period saw the rise of commercial aviation, establishing international air routes and passenger aircraft, connecting the world in unprecedented ways. This book offers a comprehensive account of aviation, beginning with the pioneering dreams of flight and progressing through its militarization, commercialization, and its role in subsequent conflicts like World War II and the Cold War. It emphasizes that aviation's development isn't just technological advancement but a critical force in global power dynamics and sociocultural exchange. By drawing on pilot logs, technical documents, and military records, the book avoids simplistic narratives, providing a nuanced view of the complex forces shaping aviation. The book’s approach provides historical, social, and technological context, charting the progression from early experiments to advanced aircraft. It explores engineering, political science, and sociology to provide a holistic understanding of aviation's multifaceted impact. This makes it valuable for those interested in military history, technology, and the social impact of aviation innovation.

    The Evangelical Church in the United States and other parts of the world, in general, is in a crisis of identity and stuck at a pivotal crossroads of history, conflicted about its God-given role and direction.This paralysis has been exposed and magnified by a renewed and raging debate about the role and relevance of Christianity in the governance and destiny of nations.“God and Government” establishes the truth about our role as Christians in the public affairs of nation states. It resolves one of the Church’s last frontiers yet to be conquered by Biblical truth: the old age conflict of the separation of God’s Word from the civil governance of nations.It explains why Evangelical Christians, between the so-called Religious Right and the Religious Left, are deeply divided about the role of the Church in the national politics of the United States.God’s blueprint guides the affairs of nations and He is not silent on matters of good governance, righteousness, and justice. Only God has unlimited power- His government rests on the shoulders of His Son Jesus Christ who has, in turn, delegated authority to the individual, family, Church and the State. “God and Government” is the definite answer to the following questions, and much more.

    Advocates and activists in Singapore contribute to policy discussions and positive change through a combination of deft manoeuvres and patient politics. Yet civil society is often unacknowledged, their skill and labour instead frequently misunderstood, even earning them the label of “troublemakers” or “enemies of the state”. 
     
    This collection of essays and interviews is a candid reflection on the intentions, beliefs and strategies behind the practice of advocacy across a spectrum of causes. The contributors come from varying backgrounds and include academics, artists, lawyers, journalists, non-profit and advocacy organisations, student and community organisers. They share practical insights into their aims and community-building work, and the tactics they employ to overcome obstacles, shedding light on how to navigate a city-state with shifting socio-political fault lines and out-of-bound markers. 
     
    With an introduction, “It is Time to Trim the Banyan Tree”, by Constance Singam, and a conclusion, “Their Struggle is Ours to Continue”, by Suraendher Kumarr.

    Child abuse casts a long shadow over the history of childhood. Across the centuries there are numerous accounts of children being beaten, neglected, sexually assaulted, or even killed by those closest to them. This book explores this darker side of childhood history, looking at what constituted cruelty towards children in the past and at the social responses towards it. Focusing primarily on England, it is a history of violence against children in their own homes, covering a large timeframe which extends from medieval times to the present. 
     
     
     
    Undeniably, the experience of children in the past was often brutal, and children were treated with, what seems to contemporary mores, callousness and cruelty. However, historians have paid far less attention to how the mistreatment of children was understood within its contemporary context. Most parents, both now and in the past, loved their children and there have always been widely shared understandings of the boundaries that separate the acceptable treatment of children from the intolerable and morally wrong. This book will examine how these boundaries have changed and been contested over time and, in doing so, provides a context to the many forms of violence experienced by children in the past.

    The Homeland actress’s “recollections of her unconventional youth in war-torn Beirut are heartbreaking yet humorous . . . in this unique” memoir (Publishers Weekly).   Raised in 1970s Lebanon on Charles Baudelaire, A Clockwork Orange, and fine Bordeaux, Darina Al-Joundi was encouraged by her unconventional father to defy all taboos. She spent her adolescence defying death in Beirut nightclubs as bombs fell across the city. The more oppressive the country became, the more drugs and anonymous sex she had, fueling the resentment directed at her daily by the same men who would spend the night with her.   As the war dies down, she begins to incur the consequences of her lifestyle. On his deathbed, her father’s last wish is for his favorite song, “Sinnerman” by Nina Simone, to be played at his funeral instead of the traditional suras of the Koran. When she does just that, the final act of defiance elicits a catastrophic response from her surviving family members.   In this dramatic true story, Darina Al-Joundi is defiantly passionate about living her life as a liberated woman, even if it means leaving everyone and everything behind in this “beautifully taut and relentlessly unemotional” memoir (Kirkus).
