Synopsis

In "History of the War in Afghanistan (Vol. 1-3)," Sir John William Kaye presents a rigorous and detailed examination of the First Anglo-Afghan War (1839-1842), unfolding the political and military complexities that characterized this tumultuous period. Kaye employs a blend of meticulous historical research and vivid narrative to explore the intricacies of British imperial ambitions, Afghan resistance, and the socio-political dynamics at play. His work is noted for its analytical depth and its incorporation of a variety of sources, including official documents, personal narratives, and contemporary accounts, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the war's implications within the broader context of British colonial policy in South Asia. Kaye, an accomplished historian and soldier himself, drew from his firsthand experiences in India and his intimate knowledge of the region and its people. His scholarly pursuits were deeply influenced by his complex relationships with both British military expeditions and Afghan society, imbuing his work with a balanced perspective that considers the nuances of culture and conflict. Those experiences allowed him to craft a narrative that is not just a military account, but a deeper commentary on the socio-political landscape of the time. This compelling work is indispensable for anyone seeking to comprehend the roots of modern geopolitical tensions in Afghanistan and the historical context of British imperialism. Kaye'Äôs insightful narrative not only enriches our understanding of a pivotal moment in history but also invites readers to reflect on the timeless themes of ambition, tragedy, and the consequences of war. History enthusiasts, students, and scholars alike will find Kaye'Äôs meticulous research and engaging style both informative and thought-provoking.

    The first edition of the 'small ADHD consultation', published in 2014, was originally created to provide my patients with a quick overview of the broad field of ADHD symptoms in adults as summarised as possible. It was important to me to integrate accompanying disorders and therapeutic options such as medication and coaching strategies. It is not uncommon for the underlying ADHD symptoms to be masked by disorders that develop later (such as obsessive thinking, anxiety, panic attacks and addictions). Only abnormalities in childhood, such as dreaminess or motor restlessness with impulsiveness, allow conclusions to be drawn. Patients and friends were kind enough to embellish this book with their contributions, sketches, pictures and poems. The significantly expanded 3rd edition of the 'Little ADHD Consultation' is due to the increased needs and demands of my patients and the new findings concerning ADHD. New topics such as neurofeedback, medication overview, neurobiological aspects and autistic accompanying phenomena as well as legal aspects and cannabis medication have been included. I wish you many A-HA experiences with this expansion.

    The City of The Sun

    The City of the Sun is a philosophical work by the Italian Dominican philosopher Tommaso Campanella. It is an important early utopian work. The work was written in Italian in 1602, shortly after Campanella's imprisonment for heresy and sedition. A Latin version was written in 1613–1614 and published in Frankfurt in 1623. 
    The book is presented as a dialogue between "a Grandmaster of the Knights Hospitaller and a Genoese Sea-Captain". Inspired by Plato's Republic and the description of Atlantis in Timaeus, it describes a theocratic society where goods, women and children are held in common. It also resembles the City of Adocentyn in the Picatrix, an Arabic grimoire of astrological magic. In the final part of the work, Campanella prophesies—in the veiled language of astrology—that the Spanish kings, in alliance with the Pope, are destined to be the instruments of a Divine Plan: the final victory of the True Faith and its diffusion in the whole world. While one could argue that Campanella was simply thinking of the conquest of the New World, it seems that this prophecy should be interpreted in the light of a work written shortly before The City of the Sun, The Monarchy in Spain, in which Campanella exposes his vision of a unified, peaceful world governed by a theocratic monarchy.

    Ram Shastri Prabhune conducted an enquiry and found Raghunathrao the culprit in addition to another fifty persons of which there was one female servant. 'The law,' he thundered 'was above the individual.'
    The intrepid judge fearlessly argued the point and told Raghunathrao on his face that he was himself found to be the chief culprit and as such deserved the capital punishment. Raghoba asked indirectly whether a person who had committed a crime under unavoidable circumstances and now wanted to repent could seek penance.
    When his point was put forth, Ram Shastri boldly declared, 'Dehant prayaschitta shivay doosra kahi prayaschitta nahin,' meaning 'the only penance was capital punishment or a death sentence.' Never before in the history of India or for that matter in any country a sitting judge had passed a death sentence on the ruling monarch. It was a rare show of judicial independence which we possibly do not see even in today's times. Those present in the court could not believe what they had just heard. There was a hushed silence...

This history, though filled with stories of terror and the unspeakable ways in which human beings can treat one another, is ultimately one of hope, underscoring the resilience of the human spirit. Stretching from the unification of Spain under Ferdinand and Isabella in the fifteenth century to the Napoleanic wars, The Inquisition details this incredible history in all its richness and complexity.
