  Corridors of Contagion brings to light the experiences of five people incarcerated across the United States as they navigate the onset of the pandemic—and the many months, stretched into years, that followed. Journalist Victoria Law combines this storytelling with a trenchant analysis of the structural failures of the US carceral system: failures that made prisons uniquely vulnerable to COVID-19 outbreaks, from overcrowding to solitary confinement, from insufficient healthcare to life sentences. 
   
   
   
  The book portrays the horrors of continual lockdowns not in the comfort of one's own home, but in prisons where routine violence and chaos is made even more unimaginable by the complete lack of control over protection from a terrifying and lethal new virus. The pandemic provided an opportunity for lawmakers and policy makers to rethink the nation's addiction to perpetual punishment. Instead, US jails and prisons doubled down on punishment under the guise of pandemic protections. As a result, people behind bars experienced increased stress, mental health challenges, increased violence, and higher rates of deaths, many of which could have been prevented. 
   
   
   
  Corridors of Contagion reminds listeners about both the particular horrors experienced by people in cages and the continued role of the US as the world’s prison nation.

  World’s Greatest Wars

  Wars are one of the defining characteristics of human psyche. They have, through bloodshed, chaos and ultimately suffering, pushed the human civilisation forward and still continue to do so. They are the means through which civilisations have defined themselves and paved the way for pages of history to become an eternal entity. Wars are perhaps the only event that have created as well as dissolved borders for new eras to stay in continuance. 
  Since such events have defined landmark stones in human history, it becomes essential to understand the causes and the purposes behind them and the socio-political results that followed. However, defining a ‘great war’ is a multi-faceted aspect and can be a difficult task from a historical point of view. Certain conflicts that have witnessed the lowest loss to human life have at many times extended till several decades and even centuries. Can they be regarded as great? Can such events be regarded as permanent memories that extended for not more than a couple of months or years but witnessed some of the largest losses to human life? In this compilation, some of the greatest human conflicts have been presented with the sole purpose to not only appreciate the socio-political and historical aftermath that followed after them but also to appreciate the scars that got left behind, for without scars, no page of history has ever been written. Like the old Latin maxim, “there is no peace without war” suggests, human civilisation indeed is written down through the annals of conflict and resolution. 
  The compilation starts with the 2nd World War, undoubtedly the greatest war in civilizationalhistory, in both scale, historical repercussions and damage incurred to both human and public life, with permanent transformations across the globe. This great war of 1937-45 was a result of the 1st World War, another great conflict encompassing much of the globe and the father of 2nd World War, and that cannot be ignored. The methodology to define a credible great warcan have several factors, and hereit has been comprised of dependents such as origins of the conflict, scale and influence over affected factions, regions, communities and peoples, approximate damage dealt to human life and most importantly, their socio-political repercussions. The book is sub-divided into several chapters corresponding to these conflicts with only brief historical perspectives and information. This is important since the last 5,000 years have seen countless number of large-scale conflicts involving millions of lives and even more. However, since the book addresses only the deadliest and greatest wars of civilisation, only a select few have been included in the list.

  On Peace Of Mind - The Stoic's...

  Lucius Anneus Seneca The...

  Written as a letter of a friend who’s not sure he’s on the right path De Tranquillitate Animi is one of the most intimate and practical works of Stoic philosophy. Serenus confesses to a restless indecision, a “sickness of the soul” that keeps him vacillating between public duty and private retreat, ascetic simplicity and worldly engagement.  
  Seneca has just returned from exile in Corsica to become the as tutor and advisor to the young Emperor Nero, and the dialogue reflects the acute pressure of a philosopher navigating the snares of the imperial court. At this time, he was one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in Rome, a position that sat uneasily with his Stoic professions and brought frequent accusations of hypocrisy. His advice to seek a modest, purposeful life reads not as serene counsel from a sage but as the hard-won reasoning of a man genuinely wrestling with his own compromises. 
  Seneca’s answer draws on the core Stoic tenets of mastering desire, accepting mortality, and anchoring the mind in virtue to map out a path to lasting tranquility. He insists that peace is won not by escaping the noise of the world but by cultivating an inner citadel, a steadiness that neither luxury nor danger can shatter. Brimming with vivid examples, self-revelation, and the hard-won wisdom of a man who would ultimately be ordered to take his own life by a famously insane emperor, On Peace of Mind remains a timeless antidote to anxiety and a guide to living with clarity amid chaos. 
   
  Compact, direct, and full of memorable aphorisms, this remains one of antiquity's most honest and practical guides to the art of living with oneself.
