Sinopsis

"Blackout Laws" examines the history of wartime blackout regulations, revealing their significant role in national security and their broad impact on civilian life. This book explores the intersection of military history, political science, and legal studies, highlighting how seemingly simple regulations reflect a nation's priorities during conflict. Notably, the enforcement of these laws during periods like World War II and the Cold War reveals a complex relationship between national security and civil liberties. 

 
The book begins by establishing the legal foundations of blackout regulations, then progresses to analyzing their diverse impacts on communities, considering factors such as urban versus rural settings. It assesses the effectiveness of blackouts in reducing casualties, using statistical data and case studies. 

 
Examining these historical precedents offers valuable insights into contemporary security measures and emergency preparedness protocols, making this book a unique and valuable resource for understanding wartime governance. This analysis challenges the perception of wartime legal measures as solely reactive, demonstrating their proactive function in shaping societal behavior and bolstering national defense. 

 
By bridging military history with legal studies and political science with urban studies, "Blackout Laws" provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the subject matter, also offering lessons applicable to modern emergency management and urban planning.

    There is one point that contemporary psychology and centuries old Eastern Buddhist and Taoist teachings agree on: if you wish to experience less suffering, you must change the way you see yourself. But what if the change that is needed is to let go of our selves entirely? What does this mean for those of us living in an increasingly self-obsessed and individualistic society? 
     
     
     
    In this compassionate and galvanizing book, Dr. Tom Davies gently invites you to consider the basic elements that define who you are. 
     
     
     
    ● In Part One, get to know your self. From the ground up, discover what the self truly is, how it links to identity, and how self-obsession is central to the human condition and the psychological pain that each of us experience. 
     
     
     
    ● In Part Two, overcome self-obsession. Free yourself from your psychological prison, and learn how to live the peaceful and joyful life that you deserve. 
     
     
     
    With a fresh and lucid style, Dr. Tom Davies combines his knowledge of the medical, psychological, and the philosophical to bring you real solutions to life's most challenging problems.

    Welcome to another round of history's most absurd stories and the timeless lessons that come with them. In More Lessons from History, Alex Deane has unearthed yet more bizarre tales that you certainly haven't heard before. If you're wondering how large, flightless birds might organise themselves against a military regiment, how you should respond to the glare of an international rugby player whose glass eye you just knocked out, exactly why carrots are orange, or whether the world's worst-run battleship ever ceased firing upon her comrades-in-arms, then look no further.
     
    In this second volume of his acclaimed series, Alex Deane reminds us that, throughout history, human nature has remained exactly the same, and the way that people responded to the most amusing, horrifying and convoluted of circumstances in the past can teach us everything we need to know about who we are today.

    The decline of the West, which at first sight may appear, like the corresponding decline of the Classical Culture, a phenomenon limited in time and space, we now perceive to be a philosophical problem that, when comprehended in all its gravity, includes within itself every great question of Being. 
    "If therefore we are to discover in what form the destiny of the Western Culture will be accomplished, we must first be clear as to what culture is, what its relations are to visible history, to life, to soul, to nature, to intellect, what the forms of its manifestation are and how far these forms — peoples, tongues and epochs, battles and ideas, states and gods, arts and craftworks, sciences, laws, economic types and world ideas, great men and great events — may be accepted and pointed to as symbols."
