Beschreibung

"Arctic Borders" explores the intensifying geopolitical competition in the Arctic region as melting ice opens new strategic possibilities. The book examines the historical roots and current legal battles surrounding territorial claims made by Russia, Canada, the United States, Denmark (Greenland), and Norway. Readers gain insight into how climate change is transforming the Arctic into a crucial arena for resource exploitation and military positioning, underscoring the urgent need to understand its evolving border dynamics.

 
One interesting fact highlighted is the inadequacy of current international legal frameworks, such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), to resolve overlapping claims and ambiguities in the Arctic. For example, the legal status of the Northwest Passage and the Northern Sea Route remains contested, raising the potential for conflict.

 
The book's approach is to weave together historical analysis, legal scrutiny, and geopolitical strategy to provide a comprehensive view. Beginning with Arctic exploration history, the book progresses systematically through each nation's territorial ambitions and concludes with a discussion of Indigenous communities' rights.

 
This book is particularly valuable for policymakers, scholars, and anyone interested in international relations or environmental policy. By integrating legal, political, and environmental considerations, "Arctic Borders" offers a nuanced understanding of the Arctic's challenges and opportunities. It addresses the complex interplay between national sovereignty, international cooperation, and the sustainable development of this increasingly important region.

    Carl Gustav Jung (July 26, 1875 - June 6, 1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. Jung's work was influential in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, and religious studies. Working as a research scientist, Jung came to the attention of Sigmund Freud, and the two men conducted a lengthy correspondence for a while. However, while Jung worked on his Psychology of the Unconscious, tensions manifested between him and Freud because of various disagreements, including those concerning the nature of libido. While Jung did think libido was an important source for personal growth, unlike Freud, he did not believe that libido alone was responsible for the formation of the core personality.

    This Very Short Introduction to Moses Maimonides surveys his many intellectual, literary, and professional ventures. Born in Islamic Cordoba, he ultimately settled in Cairo, where he served as jurist and civic leader and a highly esteemed physician with responsibilities at the Fatimid and Ayyubid courts, even as he deepened his philosophical-theological pursuits. He moved seamlessly between specialized, private, and public Jewish and Muslim spheres. 
     
    His written works traverse multiple disciplines, employ several literary genres, and address various elite and popular audiences. This book organizes Maimonides's thinking and writings thematically and puts his works into dialogue with one another. It proposes that the key to engaging Maimonides on his own terms is to understand he applied a rationalist's regimen characteristic of his scientific research and practice of medicine to all of his life's work: he observed and studied a problem, diagnosed it, and then prescribed a remedy for it whether the concern was physical, metaphysical, spiritual, intellectual, or social in nature.His Arabic and Hebrew contributions to each of his fields of inquiry were translated and disseminated far and wide and found a prominent place among religious and scientific intellectuals in the Latin West and throughout the Jewish and Islamic worlds.

    A major literary event: a never-before-published work from the author of the American classic Their Eyes Were Watching God that brilliantly illuminates the horror and injustices of slavery as it tells the true story of one of the last known survivors of the Atlantic slave trade—abducted from Africa on the last ""Black Cargo"" ship to arrive in the United States. 
    In 1927, Zora Neale Hurston went to Plateau, Alabama, just outside Mobile, to interview eighty-six-year-old Cudjo Lewis. Of the millions of men, women, and children transported from Africa to America as slaves, Cudjo was then the only person alive to tell the story of this integral part of the nation’s history. Hurston was there to record Cudjo’s firsthand account of the raid that led to his capture and bondage fifty years after the Atlantic slave trade was outlawed in the United States. 
    In 1931, Hurston returned to Plateau, the African-centric community three miles from Mobile founded by Cudjo and other former slaves from his ship. Spending more than three months there, she talked in depth with Cudjo about the details of his life. During those weeks, the young writer and the elderly formerly enslaved man ate peaches and watermelon that grew in the backyard and talked about Cudjo’s past—memories from his childhood in Africa, the horrors of being captured and held in a barracoon for selection by American slavers, the harrowing experience of the Middle Passage packed with more than 100 other souls aboard the Clotilda, and the years he spent in slavery until the end of the Civil War. 
    Based on those interviews, featuring Cudjo’s unique vernacular, and written from Hurston’s perspective with the compassion and singular style that have made her one of the preeminent American authors of the twentieth-century, Barracoon brilliantly illuminates the tragedy of slavery and of one life forever defined by it. Offering insight into the pernicious legacy that continues to haunt us all, black and white, this poignant and powerful work is an invaluable contribution to our shared history and culture.

    FT Recommended Book on Global Trade War
    'It succeeds both in explaining how global trade works and how it affects things many voters actually care about' – Financial Times
    'My hero on this is Dmitry Grozoubinski, who has written the most beautiful book' – author Rory Stewart
    Why Politicians Lie About Trade reveals how international trade really works – the roadblock tariffs, the hard-won deals and the damaging disputes.
    Written with the expectation that the US would trigger a global trade war, this book takes readers on a revealing and sometimes funny tour of the shadowy workings of the $32 trillion-a-year international business that puts goods on our shelves and food in our mouths.
    Using clear writing and lively case studies, former trade negotiator Dmitry Grozoubinski reveals the underlying political and geographical forces that shape the impact of cross-border trade on food, jobs, gender, conflict, climate change and many other issues.
    And he reveals what politicians cover up about the system – and why it matters to your world.
    In short, Why Politicians Lie About Trade contains everything you need to know about the tricky network of imports and exports that rules our world – and is an ideal companion to popular business books like How to Lie With Statistics, Taxtopia and Freakonomics.
    Heayweight publications such as the Financial Times and the World Trade Review have endorsed the book, along with popular authors Ian Dunt, James O'Brien and Rory Stewart.
    Reviews 
    'Despite being an entertaining read, his book is no joke. Structured in two parts, it succeeds both in explaining how global trade works and in illustrating how the rather rarefied topic of international trade policy affects things many voters actually care about: jobs, national security, climate change, and so on. Given how protectionism is increasingly touted as a simple solution to complex social and economic strains, it is also excellently timed.' Felix Martin, Financial Times
    'You will come out of it far more knowledgeable than you went in, and shielded from some of the more egregious deceit politicians want to inflict on you. You'll also laugh out loud.' Ian Dunt, author of How Westminster Works
    'Written by a former trade negotiator who has trained many British diplomats, this book is authoritative, yet – and here's the strange part – actually fun to read. Dmitry Grozoubinski has a rare knack for explaining complex information in an accessible and light-hearted way.' Richard Baldwin, Professor of International Economics
    'Writing a 300-page book on international trade policy issues in a way that is not only accessible but also entertaining would be a serious challenge for most authors. Dmitry Grozoubinski's new book rises to that challenge.' Chris Horseman, Bordelex
    'Much of the book's strength lies in its language. It largely avoids technical and academic-style terminology, and the content is presented with a wry and sometimes mischievous sense of humour. This approach makes even the most arcane and obscure parts of the book engaging.' Justin Brown, Lowy Institute 
    'Enraging & enlightening in equal measure. And the measure is absolutely enormous.' James O'Brien, author of How They Broke Britain
