Sinossi

"Manhattan Project" explores the United States' race to develop nuclear weapons during World War II, a feat accomplished through unprecedented scientific collaboration and industrial effort. The book delves into not only the physics that made the atomic bomb possible but also the immense engineering undertaking required to enrich uranium and produce plutonium at sites like Oak Ridge and Hanford. Readers will gain insight into how figures like Oppenheimer and Fermi contributed to this pivotal moment in science history and military affairs. The book uniquely balances scientific details with the ethical and strategic implications of using such destructive power. It examines the debates surrounding the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, acknowledging the complex moral compromises involved. Understanding the Manhattan Project is crucial, as it highlights the intersection of science, politics, and ethics in warfare and arms control. 

 
Structured in three parts, the book begins with the scientific principles of nuclear fission, progresses through the establishment and operation of key project sites, and concludes with an analysis of the decision to use atomic bombs and their lasting global consequences. This approach provides a comprehensive view, making it valuable for those interested in military history, science history, and the ongoing challenges of nuclear proliferation.

    Want to be truly inclusive? It's more than flying a rainbow flag on your church doors. 
     
     
     
    So your church website says you're welcoming, a rainbow flag flies out front, worship uses gender-inclusive language, and you make sure you greet the stranger next to you on Sunday mornings. But is all of that really enough? And what if those welcoming gestures actually keep visitors from returning and exclude dozens of other groups or people in your community? 
     
     
     
    In True Inclusion, public theologian and pastor Brandan Robertson shares how to move your church from mere welcome to radical embrace. Pointing to a clear biblical imperative for radical inclusivity in the sanctuary and in the public square, Robertson presents a paradigm-shifting vision of community, "where nothing is simple, nothing is easy, but everything is beautiful." Learn practical, step-by-step approaches to becoming deeply, robustly, and richly inclusive of all people regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, political affiliation, and socioeconomic status. 
     
     
     
    Written for people and communities at every stage of the journey, True Inclusion will challenge and inspire you to embody a gospel of radical embrace for all.

    Analyzes the current wave of depression, or "desertion," that is causing more and more people to abandon hope and desire in a world where social, political, and environment collapse seems inevitable. 
     
     
     
    Depression is rife amongst young people the world over. But what if this isn't depression as we know it, but instead a reaction to the chaos and collapse of a seemingly unchangeable and unlivable future? 
     
     
     
    In Quit Everything, Franco Berardi argues that this "depression" is actually conscious or unconscious withdrawal of psychological energy and a dis-investment of desire that he defines instead as "desertion." A desertion from political participation, from the daily grind of capitalism, from the brutal reality of climate collapse, and from a society which offers nothing but chaos and pain. 
     
     
     
    Berardi analyzes why this desertion is on the rise and why more people are quitting everything in our age of political impotence and the rise of the far-right, asking if we can find some political hope in desertion amongst the ruins of a world on the brink of collapse.

    Continue reading if you want to enhance the quality of your life and remove the anxieties and negative thoughts you experience daily... 
    We must be in excellent emotional and mental health, or we will adopt problematic behaviors. Anxiety is America's number one mental health condition. People describe becoming too self-conscious and having self-inhibiting tendencies as a consequence. Around the time they start school, most individuals suffer full-blown anxiety. They are impressionable at this age and might quickly become sensitive to the numerous forces around them. 
    Unfortunately, once worry enters the victim's head, it may be challenging to overcome, mainly if the sufferer is not proactive, leading to a life driven by inferiority. 
    People should treat their mental health as seriously as they do their physical health. Bad mental health would do much more harm than poor physical health ever could. 
    Among the topics covered in this guide are:How to Overcome Negativity and Limiting BeliefsTechniques for remaining calmHow to overcome your anxieties and overcome anxiety disordersMeditation's AdvantagesHow to Become More Self-AwareSuggestions for Improving Your Social Skills

    “First-class . . . more than the biography of a great aviator and military leader. It also is a detailed and lively history of naval aviation.” —The New York Times Air Adm. Marc Mitscher is a legend in military circles for developing an entirely new concept of war at sea. His skills as both a carrier tactician and genius for leading men rank him with the best World War II combat commanders. However, because Mitscher shunned publicity and destroyed his private papers shortly before his death in 1947, his accomplishments are not widely known. In this outstanding biography, Theodore Taylor traces the aviator’s brilliant career from its beginnings and makes clear the major role played by the admiral in developing the Navy’s air program, providing a lively and detailed history of the progress of naval aviation. “The likable personality and day by day achievements of Mitscher shine through to lift this above the run of the mill military biography.” —Kirkus Reviews
