Sinossi

"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.

    J.B. Rhine (1895 - 1980), widely considered to be the "Father of Modern Parapsychology," was the world’s leading investigator of psychic phenomena, ESP and the paranormal. He founded the parapsychology research lab at Duke University and the Journal of Parapsychology. Dr. Rhine, who coined the term "extrasensory perception" (ESP) to describe the apparent ability of some people to acquire information without the use of the known five senses), wrote several books on ESP and the paranormal. Rhine investigated ghosts, telepathy, poltergeists, and other unseen parapsychology phenomena from 1927 to 1965 at his Duke laboratory, and for several years after that at a private laboratory. The following was recorded from a Rhine lecture on psychokinesis and his ESP experiments.

    We have experienced a shift in American character: we've become a nation of moochers. Increasingly dependent on the efforts of others over our own, Americans are free to freeload. From the corporate bailouts on Wall Street to the alarming increases in personal default and dependency, from questionable tax exemptions to enormous pension, healthcare, and other entitlement costs, the new moocher culture cuts across lines of class, race, and private and public sectors. And the millions that plan and behave sensibly, only to bail out the profligate? They're angry.Charles Sykes' argument is not against compassion or legitimate charity, but targets the new moocher culture, in which self-reliance and personal responsibility have given way to mass grasping after handouts. A Nation of Moochers is a persuasively argued and entertaining rallying cry for Americans who are tired of playing by the rules and paying for those who don't.

    Explore freedom, power, and the biggest challenges of the twenty-first century with two extraordinary thinkersTwo world-renowned figures of contemporary politics come together to debate alternatives for the future: José "Pepe" Mujica, former President of Uruguay and an ex-guerrilla who acquired an international following for his message of sustainability and common sense, and Noam Chomsky, who revolutionized linguistics and has become a beacon for radical thinking around the world. From the meeting of these peerless figures emerge reflections on the major global issues of our time: climate change, corruption, populism, the crisis of capitalism, and the logic of the market economy, among many others. Speaking especially to younger generations who inherited an unstable world, Chomsky and Mujica emphasize the values required to survive the challenges of the twenty-first century and to build a new world: democracy, freedom, humility, and friendship. Brought together by Mexican activist Saúl Alvídrez, Chomsky and Mujica offer a wise and passionate guide to salvaging the future.

    ""If not you, then who?  If not now, then when? We need more women to speak up and make their voices heard. Young women have valuable experiences and perspectives.  We need you in this fight.” Senator Elizabeth Warren, from a Girl’s Guide to Joining the Resistance  
      
    So—the presidential election of 2016 happened. You cried, you ranted, you marched. But how do you stay engaged for the long term? How do you keep fighting while also continuing your real life? How do you get involved when you feel far from the action? How do you stay vigilant without being furious all. the. time? 
      
    Needing to take action after the election, Emma Gray, Executive Women’s Editor at HuffPost, put on her journalist hat and set out to get answers to these questions from some of the most prominent thought leaders and activists of our time. She spoke with march organizers, and senators, long-time activists, and newcomers across political movements to find out the best ways to listen to those who have been doing this for a while, join in, and create sustainable action. In all of her conversations, one theme came up again and again: young women are essential to the resistance. 
      
    Interweaving the interviews with her own experiences covering resistance events and being a member of the media in a time when the media has been under assault, Emma has created a down and dirty guide for women of all ages to roll up their sleeves and resist the forces that are a threat to our rights.

    Mummification, the art and science of preserving bodies after death, has fascinated both historians and scientists for centuries. In ancient Egypt, mummification was not merely a process of preservation but also a vital part of the culture’s religious beliefs. The Egyptians believed in an afterlife, where the soul would continue to exist in a parallel realm. The preservation of the body was considered essential for the soul’s journey, as it would serve as a vessel for the soul's return. This chapter delves into the origins and purpose of mummification, shedding light on the techniques that evolved over millennia. 
    The practice of mummification is believed to have begun around 3500 BCE, initially as a natural process. Early Egyptians buried their dead in shallow graves in the hot, dry desert sands. The dry conditions naturally desiccated the bodies, preserving them for years or even centuries. However, as Egyptian society developed and religious beliefs became more complex, the need for a more deliberate and refined method of preservation emerged. Over time, the Egyptians developed techniques to prevent decomposition, ensuring that the deceased would be preserved for the afterlife. 
    Mummification’s primary purpose was to ensure the deceased’s body remained intact for the soul’s journey to the afterlife. Ancient Egyptians believed that the body was necessary for the soul to recognize and reunite with the deceased in the next world. The process, therefore, was not just about keeping the body intact; it was about ensuring the deceased's spiritual well-being. Alongside the physical mummification process, elaborate burial rituals were performed, including the offering of food, goods, and prayers to help guide the deceased through the afterlife.
