  The brilliant and disturbing 100-year history of modern terrorism and car bombs—the ubiquitous weapon of urban mass destruction 
   
  On a September day in 1920, an angry Italian anarchist named Mario Buda exploded a horse-drawn wagon filled with dynamite and iron scrap near New York's Wall Street, killing forty people. Since Buda's prototype the car bomb has evolved into a "poor man's air force," a generic weapon of mass destruction that now craters cities from Bombay to Oklahoma City. 
   
  In this provocative history, Mike Davis traces the its worldwide use and development, in the process exposing the role of state intelligence agencies—particularly those of the United States, Israel, India, and Pakistan—in globalizing urban terrorist techniques. Davis argues that it is the incessant impact of car bombs, rather than the more apocalyptic threats of nuclear or bio-terrorism, that is changing cities and urban lifestyles, as privileged centers of power increasingly surround themselves with "rings of steel" against a weapon that nevertheless seems impossible to defeat.

  Political Philosophy - Ideas and...

  Political philosophy plays a central role in the development of societies, offering profound insights into the principles and ideas that shape governance and human relations. At its core, political philosophy seeks to understand the fundamental questions of power, authority, justice, and the rights of individuals within a collective. By examining these issues, political philosophy provides a framework for interpreting and evaluating the structures that govern our lives, from the most intimate social arrangements to the global political order. It is through political philosophy that we come to grips with the nature of justice, equality, freedom, and the role of the state in promoting the common good. 
  In every society, political philosophy serves as a critical lens for understanding the legitimacy of authority and the relationship between the individual and the state. Whether through the ideas of ancient philosophers like Plato and Aristotle or the modern theorists such as Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau, the study of political philosophy allows us to explore the moral and practical foundations of governance. These thinkers sought answers to questions that remain relevant today: What is the rightful role of the government? What are the limits of state power? How can societies balance the competing interests of freedom, equality, and social order? 
  Moreover, political philosophy is essential for the functioning of a healthy democracy. By engaging with political ideas and questioning the established norms, political philosophers encourage critical thinking and the evaluation of political systems. They provide the intellectual tools for assessing the values that underlie our laws, policies, and political institutions. Political philosophy also serves as a guide for navigating complex moral dilemmas in governance, offering insights into how we can create a just society where the rights of individuals are respected while promoting the collective well-being.
