Sinossi

Cold War Tensions explores the nearly half-century-long standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union, an era defined by ideological clash, proxy wars, and the looming threat of nuclear war. This book provides a crucial understanding of how these historical tensions continue to shape today's international relations.

 
One intriguing insight is the book's focus on proxy wars, such as those in Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan, showcasing how these conflicts became battlegrounds for the competing ideologies of communism and capitalism. Another is the detailed examination of the arms race, highlighting the precarious doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD).

 
This book uniquely approaches the Cold War by examining it through a global lens, considering the perspectives of countries beyond just the US and the Soviet Union. Its fact-based, analytical approach presents information in a clear and objective manner, making it accessible to a broad audience.

 
The book begins by outlining the ideological differences between the two superpowers, then moves into analyzing proxy wars, and culminates with a comprehensive investigation into the arms race, before analyzing the collapse of the Soviet Union.

    The risk of nuclear conflict today is at its highest point in decades. Geopolitical tensions are on the rise, and we are witnessing an unsettling increase in reckless nuclear threats and the use of nuclear blackmail. This has made the long-standing taboo against the use of nuclear weapons appear more fragile than ever before. In 2022, the famous Doomsday Clock was set to a chilling 90 seconds to midnight, marking the closest it has ever been since its inception in 1947. This unsettling moment in history underscores just how vulnerable the world has become to the catastrophic consequences of nuclear war. 
    In this fragile and precarious situation, it becomes even more crucial for the global community to fully grasp the profound humanitarian impact that any use of nuclear weapons would have. Whether in the case of a limited strike or a full-scale nuclear conflict, the consequences would be devastating not just for the immediate areas affected but for all of humanity and the environment. The environmental destruction, the loss of life, and the lasting psychological and societal trauma would ripple across borders, affecting every nation. 
    Greater awareness and a deeper understanding of these consequences are vital for mobilizing the global community to take decisive, collective action. Only through a heightened sense of urgency and responsibility can we work together to prevent the use of nuclear weapons. This awareness is also the key to advancing the cause of nuclear disarmament. Moving away from a security model based on the dangerous idea of mutually assured destruction and toward one focused on cooperation, diplomacy, and peace is not just desirable—it’s essential for ensuring the survival of humanity and the planet for future generations.

    The most famous book on politics ever written, The Prince remains as lively and shocking today as when it was written almost five hundred years ago. Initially denounced as a collection of sinister maxims and a recommendation of tyranny, it has more recently been defended as the first scientific treatment of politics as it is practiced rather than as it ought to be practiced. Harvey C. Mansfield’s brilliant translation of this classic work, along with the new materials added for this edition, make it the definitive version of The Prince, indispensable to scholars, students, and those interested in the dark art of politics. 
     
    This revised edition of Mansfield’s acclaimed translation features an updated bibliography, a substantial glossary, an analytic introduction, a chronology of Machiavelli’s life, and a map of Italy in Machiavelli’s time. 
     
    “Of the other available [translations], that of Harvey C. Mansfield makes the necessary compromises between exactness and readability, as well as providing an excellent introduction and notes.”—Clifford Orwin, The Wall Street Journal 
     
    ”Mansfield’s work . . . is worth acquiring as the best combination of accuracy and readability.”—Choice 
     
    ”There is good reason to assert that Machiavelli has met his match in Mansfield. . . . [He] is ready to read Machiavelli as he demands to be read—plainly and boldly, but also cautiously.”—John Gueguen, The Sixteenth Century Journal

    MANIFESTATION (How Thoughts Become Things!) is unlike any other book by the same name. Right from the jump, EQuin Cadmon peels back the veil of the elite's endless attempts to cover up our true past through resets every 100 years here on Earth. He quickly uncovers the truth behind the Tartarian Empire that reigned here for 1,000s of years and their free energy and unlimited abundance for all. He also goes on to prove to every reader that wanders this way exactly what Earth is; that it's not a globe after all flying through space at 627,000,000 mph in lock step with a burning ball of gas and 8 other planets; but flat and stationary. No other book every written walks you through and reveals our true intentionally buried past as it matters and relates to our power to MANIFEST. EQuin Cadmon ties it all together to bring the reader to the powered restored place to remember and activate their full mind potential to create anything they desire right out of thin air…or Aether. You never fully understood why it mattered that the powered elite have intentionally hidden our true past from us until now. What you'll discover by book’s end is that they needed us dumbed down to control us. They needed us divided in every way so that we wouldn't collectively increase our resonance and power to create heaven right here on Earth. No more! Do yourself a favor and open these pages and read and reread and share everywhere with everyone you love. This book is one for the ages!

    Have you ever wondered just what was the Hanseatic League?, How malt was made, or how eels get to the Sargasso Sea? The answers to these and many other questions will be found in this book. 
    Spanning the period from the Anglo-Saxons to the coming of the railway, two Points East is about the boats, the fishing and some of the lives lived on the North sea coast of Norfolk, from the once world-famous herring fishery in Great Yarmouth to the extraordinary rescues of Cromer’s famous lifeboatman Henry Blogg. 
    Judith Ellis lives in Norfolk with an insatiable curiosity and some very fine memories of sailing off the East Anglian coast. A lifelong interest in traditional boats combined with a love of history and sketching has found expression in this book.
