Sinopsis

Military Ethics Today examines the critical role of ethical principles in modern warfare, questioning whether they are truly upheld amidst the harsh realities of armed conflict. It explores the evolution of military ethics, from ancient codes to the Geneva Conventions, highlighting the necessity of adapting ethical frameworks to address contemporary challenges like cyber warfare and autonomous weapons. The book argues that a proactive, values-driven approach, emphasizing continuous education and international cooperation, is crucial for mitigating ethical risks in modern conflict, especially given that the erosion of ethical standards can undermine peace and stability.

 
The book progresses by first introducing core ethical concepts such as distinction, proportionality, and necessity, alongside legal frameworks governing armed conflict. It then delves into specific ethical dilemmas, including the protection of non-combatants in urban warfare and the implications of targeted killings. By exploring these issues through historical case studies, legal analyses, and empirical research, the book offers a practical framework for military professionals, policymakers, and citizens to navigate the ethical complexities of twenty-first-century warfare. It underscores the importance of ethical training and leadership within military institutions, alongside robust international accountability.

    We communicate constantly, not just through words but through a rich tapestry of unspoken cues. From the subtle flicker of an eyebrow to the unconscious shift in posture, our bodies are constantly broadcasting messages, often revealing more than consciously intended. 
    This book serves as a guide to understanding this complex and fascinating world of nonverbal communication. We will embark on a journey to unlock the secrets hidden within human interaction.  
    We will explore the evolutionary basis of nonverbal communication, tracing its origins back to our primal ancestors and examining how these innate cues continue to shape our interactions today. 
    We will delve into the significant role of culture in shaping body language, understanding how societal norms and individual experiences influence our expression and interpretation of nonverbal signals. We will examine the anatomy of nonverbal cues in detail, providing a comprehensive overview of facial expressions, posture, gestures, proxemics (the use of space), and paralanguage (vocal cues), each with their own nuanced meanings and power to reveal emotions, intentions, and social dynamics. We'll investigate the art of integrating verbal and nonverbal cues to achieve a deeper understanding of communication, and learn to detect those inconsistencies that might signal deception or underlying emotions. Through practical exercises and real-world examples, you will hone your observational skills, and ability to spot subtle clues others miss. 
    The book goes beyond simply identifying individual cues, guiding you to integrate these observations into a holistic understanding of behavior, fostering enhanced empathy and providing insights into the motivations and feelings behind nonverbal expressions. 
    Ultimately, the knowledge within this book equips you to navigate the intricacies of human interaction with newfound confidence and understanding, enriching your life by fostering stronger and more meaningful relationships.

    Fairy tales are more than mere bedtime stories; they are living, breathing repositories of ancient wisdom and magick.In The Night House, bestselling author and word-witch Danielle Dulsky peels back the layers of these timeless narratives to reveal their potent role as guides for navigating today's world. Historically kept and passed on by women, fairy tales are distinguishable from other types of folk tales by their supernatural elements, and because of this, they were often dismissed as trivial fantasies for women and children. Danielle illuminates how this marginalization kept these stories safe from the witch-hunter's noose and allowed women to safely store and transmit their sacred age-old wisdom for new generations to uncover and explore. Her fresh and relevant commentary will support your kinship with the Earth, ancestors, and your own living myth. The Night House shows how a single fairy tale is actually a treasure box of coded knowledge and magickal practice that has remained largely intact, preserved under the floorboards of the Yaga's hut for us to find.

    Before the Second World War, military conflicts were fought under orthodox conditions, usually termed “conventional warfare,” but several innovations had significantly changed combat, leading inextricably to the race for a nuclear weapon in the 1930s and 1940s. Conflicts had been fought by armies on horseback with guns of varying sophistication since the 16th century, but mechanized warfare and machine guns changed this calculus and set the stage for future combat by the end of World War I. Other sinister changes entered the fray during this conflict, such as chemical weapons like chlorine and mustard gas. The total warfare brought about by World War I and ensuing wars like the Spanish Civil War made the quest for the most powerful weapons somewhat necessary. 
    The Manhattan Project would ultimately yield the “Little Boy” and “Fat Man” bombs that released more than 100 Terajoules of energy at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but as it turned out, the Axis were not far behind with their own nuclear weapons program. When the Nazis’ quest for a nuclear weapon began in earnest in 1939, no one really had a handle on how important nuclear weapons would prove to war and geopolitics. The attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, along with the Cold War-era tests and their accompanying mushroom clouds, would demonstrate the true power and terror of nuclear weapons, but in the late 1930s these bombs were only vaguely being thought through, particularly after the successful first experiment to split the atom by a German scientist. The nuclear age itself was in its infancy, barely 35 years old, but within a few short years the advent of nuclear war loomed over the world and the prospect of the enemy winning the nuclear race kept Allied leaders awake at night.

    Drawing from over twenty years of activism on local and national levels, this striking book offers an organizer's perspective on the intersections of immigrant rights, racial justice, and prison abolition. 
     
     
     
    In the wake of post-9/11 xenophobia, Obama's record-level deportations, Trump's immigration policies, and the 2020 uprisings for racial justice, the US remains entrenched in a circular discourse regarding migrant justice. As organizer Silky Shah argues in Unbuild Walls, we must move beyond building nicer cages or advocating for comprehensive immigration reform. Our only hope for creating a liberated society for all, she insists, is abolition. 
     
     
     
    Unbuild Walls dives into US immigration policy and its relationship to mass incarceration, showing how the prison-industrial complex and immigration enforcement are intertwined systems of repression. Incorporating historical and legal analyses, Shah's personal experience as an organizer, as well as stories of people, campaigns, organizations, and localities that have resisted detention and deportation, Shah assesses the movement's strategies, challenges, successes, and shortcomings. Featuring a foreword by Amna A. Akbar, Unbuild Walls is an expansive and radical intervention, bridging the gaps between movements for immigrant rights, racial justice, and prison abolition.
