  Daniel Goleman

  In his book “Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ”, Daniel Goleman explores the importance of emotional skills in personal, professional, and social life. He argues that emotional intelligence (EI) is a crucial factor for success and well-being, often more influential than intelligence quotient (IQ). 
  Through examples, case studies, and scientific analysis, Goleman breaks down the components of EI and its impact on various aspects of life, challenging the traditional view that separates reason from emotion and emphasizing the need to integrate both in education and society.  
  Additionally, Goleman examines how emotional intelligence influences decision-making. According to him, emotions play a crucial role in the decision-making process, helping us quickly assess situations and make decisions based on past experiences. 
  For example, “emotional hijacking” is a phenomenon in which the amygdala, a part of the brain associated with emotions, takes control and triggers impulsive responses before the neocortex, the brain's rational part, can fully process the information. While useful in emergencies, this mechanism can lead to hasty decisions in modern contexts.  
  Goleman also discusses the importance of emotional intelligence in preventing antisocial and criminal behaviors. According to the author, many problematic behaviors, such as aggression and delinquency, are linked to low emotional intelligence. 
  People who lack emotional skills often struggle to manage their impulses and empathize with others, which can lead to destructive behaviors. Goleman cites studies showing that violent criminals often have a history of emotional neglect and lack of attention in childhood, emphasizing the importance of early emotional education.

  A Brief Guide to Maritime Strategy

  James R. Holmes

  • 0

  A Brief Guide to Maritime Strategy is a deliberately compact introductory work aimed at junior seafarers, those who make decisions affecting the sea services, and those who educate seafarers and decision-makers. It introduces listeners to the main theoretical ideas that shape how statesmen and commanders make and execute maritime strategy in times of peace and war. Following in the spirit of Bernard Brodie's Layman's Guide to Naval Strategy, a World War II-era book whose title makes its purpose plain, it will be a companion volume to such works as Geoffrey Till's Seapower and Wayne Hughes's Fleet Tactics and Coastal Combat, the classic treatise that explains how to handle navies in fleet actions. It takes the mystery out of maritime strategy, which should not be an arcane art for practitioners or policy-makers, and will help the next generation think about strategy.

  Women's Diaries of the Westward...

  More than a quarter of a million Americans crossed the continental United States between 1840 and 1870, going west in one of the greatest migrations of modern times. The frontiersmen have become an integral part of our history and folklore, but the Westering experiences of American women are equally central to an accurate picture of what life was like on the frontier. 
   
   
   
  Through the diaries, letters, and reminiscences of women who participated in this migration, Women's Diaries of the Westward Journey gives us primary source material on the lives of these women, who kept campfires burning with buffalo chips and dried weeds, gave birth to and cared for children along primitive and dangerous roads, drove teams of oxen, picked berries, milked cows, and cooked meals in the middle of a wilderness that was a far cry from the homes they had left back east. Still (and often under the disapproving eyes of their husbands) they found time to write brave letters home or to jot a few weary lines at night into the diaries that continue to enthrall us. 
   
   
   
  In her new foreword, Professor Mary Clearman Blew explores the enduring fascination with this subject among both historians and the general public, and places Schlissel's groundbreaking work into an intriguing historical and cultural context.

  España - A Brief History of Spain

  Giles Tremlett

  Bestselling author Giles Tremlett traverses the rich and varied history of Spain, from prehistoric times to today, in a brief, accessible primer for visitors, curious listeners and hispanophiles. 
   
  Spain's position on Europe's south-western corner has exposed it to cultural, political and actual winds blowing from all quadrants. Africa lies a mere nine miles to the south. The Mediterranean connects it to the civilizational currents of Phoenicians, Romans, Carthaginians, and Byzantines as well as the Arabic lands of the near east. Hordes from the Russian steppes were amongst the first to arrive. They would be followed by Visigoths, Arabs, Napoleonic armies and many more invaders and immigrants. Circular winds and currents linked it to the American continent, allowing Spain to conquer and colonize much of it. 
   
  As a result, Spain has developed a sort of hybrid vigour. Whenever it has tried to deny this inevitable heterogeneity, it has required superhuman effort to fashion a 'pure' national identity – which has proved impossible to maintain. In España, Giles Tremlett argues that, in fact, that lack of a homogenous identity is Spain's defining trait.
