    Leviathan

    Leviathan is a book written by Thomas Hobbes and published in 1651. It is one of the most important works in political philosophy and is considered a cornerstone of modern political thought. 
The main argument of Leviathan is that humans are fundamentally selfish and violent, and that without a strong government to control them, they would inevitably descend into a state of chaos and conflict. Hobbes famously characterized this state as "the war of all against all." 
In order to avoid this scenario, Hobbes argued that individuals must surrender their natural rights to a sovereign authority. This sovereign, which Hobbes called the Leviathan, would have absolute power to enforce its will upon the people, and in exchange would provide them with security and protection. 
Hobbes believed that the ideal form of government was an absolute monarchy, where the sovereign's power was not limited by any laws or institutions. He argued that any attempt to limit the power of the sovereign would be doomed to failure, as it would only lead to the re-emergence of the state of nature and the breakdown of society. 
Leviathan is also notable for its contributions to social contract theory, which argues that individuals enter into a contract with their government in order to protect their rights and maintain order in society. Hobbes' social contract theory was influential in the development of political thought and continues to be studied and debated today.

    A technological, strategic, and tactical history of ancient naval ships from Alexander to the battle of Actium. 
 
 
 
The period covered in this book is well known for its epic battles and grand campaigns of territorial conquest, but Hellenistic monarchies, Carthaginians, and the rapacious Roman Republic were scarcely less active at sea. Huge resources were poured into maintaining fleets not only as symbols of prestige but as means of projecting real military power across the Mediterranean arena. 
 
 
 
Taking the period between Alexander the Great's conquests and the Battle of Actium, John Grainger analyzes the developments in naval technology and tactics, the uses and limitations of sea power and the differing strategies of the various powers. He shows, for example, how the Rhodians and the Romans eschewed the ever-larger monster galleys favored by most Hellenistic monarchs in favor of smaller vessels. This is a fascinating study of a neglected aspect of ancient warfare.

    Personality Disorders -...

    Personality disorders are complex mental health conditions that affect the way individuals think, feel, and behave, often leading to difficulties in relationships, work, and daily life. Unlike temporary mood swings or behavioral patterns influenced by stress, personality disorders are deeply ingrained and persistent, typically emerging in adolescence or early adulthood. These disorders shape a person’s worldview, emotional responses, and interactions with others, often resulting in distress for both the individual and those around them. 
Personality is a unique combination of traits that influence how a person perceives and responds to the world. In individuals with personality disorders, these traits become rigid and maladaptive, making it difficult to function in a socially acceptable or emotionally stable way. The severity of symptoms can vary, but in many cases, individuals struggle with emotional regulation, self-image, and interpersonal relationships. Some may withdraw from social interactions due to deep-seated mistrust, while others may exhibit erratic or impulsive behaviors that create conflict. 
Personality disorders are categorized into three clusters based on shared characteristics. Cluster A includes disorders that involve odd or eccentric thinking and behavior, such as paranoid and schizotypal personality disorders. Cluster B consists of dramatic, emotional, and erratic conditions, including borderline and narcissistic personality disorders. Cluster C encompasses anxious and fearful disorders, such as avoidant and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders. While these clusters help in understanding the broad patterns of personality disorders, individual experiences can differ significantly.

    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.
