  "The Idea of Progress" by J.B. Bury is a seminal work in the history of ideas, first published in 1920. In this book, Bury explores the concept of progress, tracing its development from ancient times to the modern era. He examines the ways in which people have understood and pursued progress throughout history, and the impact that this has had on the world. 
  Bury argues that the idea of progress is a central feature of Western civilization, and that it has shaped the course of history. He shows how the idea of progress emerged in ancient Greece and Rome, and how it was further developed during the Renaissance and Enlightenment. Bury also examines the ways in which progress has been measured and evaluated over time, and how it has been used to justify social and political change. 
  Throughout the book, Bury offers a nuanced and critical perspective on the idea of progress. He acknowledges the many benefits that progress has brought, but also highlights the negative consequences of pursuing progress without sufficient consideration for its wider impact. He argues that progress should be guided by ethical considerations, and that we must be mindful of the unintended consequences of our actions. 
  "The Idea of Progress" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that continues to influence contemporary debates about the meaning and value of progress. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of ideas, and the ways in which they shape our understanding of the world.

  Embedded within military intelligence and communications, wartime cryptography was a man’s world filled with engineers, mathematicians, statisticians, military tacticians, political scientists, and linguists. But women working top-secret desk jobs played an integral role. They helped shorten the length of the war, saving countless lives in the process. 
  Bringing to light the quiet heroism of female code breakers of WWII, learn about these exceptional women who saved lives and changed the tide of the greatest war in human history. 
  Even as they applied themselves to complicated counterintelligence work and labored daily alongside their male colleagues, they fought an uphill battle on many different fronts, inside and outside the office. 
  Their stories and accomplishments have remained firmly under the radar—often missing from official documentation, history books, public lore, and public awareness. 
  The British feat of breaking the German Enigma code at Bletchley Park has been celebrated in popular culture in various books and movies, but the stories of many women who worked to break codes in the complex world of cryptography remain relatively untold. 
  Learn the true stories of female code breakers whose top-secret work helped win World War II, including: 
  ●      Elizebeth Friedman, Joan Clarke, Violet MacKenzie and other great minds working for the Allied forces from the US, UK and Australia—all trailblazers in the field of cryptography 
  ●      a simple rundown on cryptography as a science, the history of its use, and what it took to break wartime codes 
  ●      the legacy of these exceptional women, and the impact of their work. 
  Despite the constant need to prove themselves, these brilliant women never thought of themselves as heroes.

  Political Rumors - Why We Accept...

  Adam J. Berinsky

  Political rumors and misinformation pollute the political landscape. This is not a recent phenomenon; before the currently rampant and unfounded rumors about a stolen election and vote-rigging, there were other rumors that continued to spread even after they were thoroughly debunked, including doubts about 9/11 (an "inside job") and the furor over President Obama's birthplace and birth certificate. If misinformation crowds out the truth, how can Americans communicate with one another about important issues? In this book, Adam Berinsky examines why political rumors exist and persist despite their unsubstantiated and refuted claims, who is most likely to believe them, and how to combat them. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on original survey and experimental data, Berinsky shows that a tendency toward conspiratorial thinking and vehement partisan attachment fuel belief in rumors. Berinsky argues that in fighting misinformation, it is as important to target the undecided and the uncertain as it is the true believers. In a world where most people don't pay attention to politics, political leaders are often guilty of disseminating false information—and failing to correct it when it is proven wrong. Berinsky suggests that we should focus on the messenger as much as the message. Just as important as how misinformation is debunked is who does the debunking.

  Yaadon Ke Bikhre Moti - Batware...

  'Every thoughtful person, concerned for the future of this country, needs to read this book.' - Prof. Irfan Habib 
  Yaadon ke Bikhre Moti, the Hindi translation of the bestselling Remnants of a Separation, is a unique attempt to revisit the Partition through objects that refugees carried with them across the border. These belongings absorbed the memory of a time and place, remaining latent and undisturbed for generations. They now speak of their owner's pasts as they emerge as testaments to the struggle, sacrifice, pain and belonging at an unparalleled moment in history. A string of pearls gifted by a maharaja, carried from Dalhousie to Lahore, reveals the grandeur of a life that once was. A notebook of poems, brought from Lahore to Kalyan, shows one woman's determination to pursue the written word despite the turmoil around her. The product of years of research, this book is an alternative history of the Partition - the first and only one told through material memory that makes the event tangible even seven decades later.
