  Are we seeing history repeat itself?
  An urgent, surprising and altogether persuasive read, Repeat: A Warning from History will open your eyes.
  We live in an age that seems eerily familiar. A time of dictators, populists, organised lying, European wars, grabs for territory, ideological extremism and antisemitism. A time when things are falling apart and the centre is struggling to hold. The insurrection on the Capitol in January 2021 evoked chilling memories of the calamity of Hitler in the 1920s and 30s. The world needs to learn the lessons of these decades, and fast. Dennis Glover retells the story of the interwar years in a series of lessons drawn from unfolding events and the unheeded omens of those who spoke out but were ignored.

  Persuasion Psychology -...

  This book contains two titles. Here are some snippets of what you can find in there: 
  Book 1 - Why does understanding a psychological risk lead to physical reactions? The answer lies in human anatomy, specifically in the mechanisms behind real pain. Is mental pain comparable to physical pain? How does intense pain manifest? When it comes to physical pain, the process is straightforward. We rarely consider the basic motor reflexes controlled by the spine. 
  During physical sensation, a nervous impulse is transmitted through the nerves to the corresponding part of the brain, which then sends a response impulse to an organ. But how does mental pain occur? Our bodies possess a self-regulation function for all physiological processes. In essence, the brain responds to changes in the body's chemical processes. 
  Book 2 - Many believe that the most successful people in the world have mastered the ability to use their minds to attract what they desire. Imagine being able to draw what you want most into your life effortlessly, without having to take direct action. Imagine being able to manifest your goals and desires through the discipline of your thoughts. 
  Everything begins with thoughts, which most people don’t fully grasp, as actions are rooted in these ideas. Before diving into the methods that harness the power of the mind, it’s important to ask: What is the subconscious mind? 
  The subconscious is a part of the mind that, while not fully conscious, influences a person’s actions and feelings. Some view the subconscious as connected to the spirit or soul, capable of shaping your reality based on the messages it receives from your actions and beliefs.

  The Secret Listener - An Ingenue...

  Yuan-Tsung Chen

  The history of China in the twentieth century is comprised of a long series of shocks: the 1911 revolution, the civil war between the communists and the nationalists, the Japanese invasion, the revolution, the various catastrophic campaigns initiated by Chairman Mao between 1949 and 1976, its great opening to the world under Deng, and the Tiananmen Square Massacre. 
   
   
   
  Yuan-tsung Chen lived through most of it, and at certain points in close proximity to the seat of communist power. Born in Shanghai in 1929, she came to know Zhou En-Lai as a young girl while living in Chongqing, where Chiang Kai-Shek's government had relocated to, during the war against Japan. That connection to Zhou helped her save her husband's life in Cultural Revolution. After the communists took power, she obtained a job in one of the culture ministries. She frequently engaged with the upper echelon of the party and was a first-hand witness to some of the purges that the regime regularly initiated. Eventually, the commissar she worked under was denounced in 1957, and she barely escaped being purged herself. Later, during Cultural Revolution, she and her husband were purged and sent to live in a rough, poor area. They finally moved to Hong Kong, with Zhou's permission, in 1971. Chen gives a first-hand account of what life was like in the period before the revolution and in Mao's China.

  Deceptive Practices - Actions...

  Deception has been a fundamental part of human interaction throughout history, shaping societies, relationships, and institutions. Whether through subtle manipulation, outright lies, or carefully crafted misinformation, deception influences decisions, perceptions, and behaviors in both personal and collective spheres. While often viewed negatively, deception is not always malicious; in some cases, it serves strategic, protective, or even necessary functions. Understanding the role deception plays in society requires examining its various forms, motivations, and consequences. 
  One of the most common areas where deception is prevalent is in personal relationships. People deceive for different reasons, ranging from self-preservation to maintaining social harmony. White lies, for example, are often used to spare feelings or avoid unnecessary conflict, while more harmful deceptions, such as infidelity or emotional manipulation, can cause deep and lasting damage. The complexity of deception in relationships highlights its dual nature—sometimes beneficial, sometimes destructive. 
  Beyond personal interactions, deception extends into professional and institutional environments. In workplaces, deceptive practices can manifest as misleading job descriptions, false performance evaluations, or office politics designed to manipulate outcomes. Deception in business, such as false advertising or hidden fees, can mislead consumers, erode trust, and cause financial harm. Similarly, political deception—through propaganda, misinformation, and strategic framing of facts—shapes public opinion, influencing elections, policies, and societal norms.

  Enviroment in Times of War -...

  The impact of Russia's war against Ukraine has been devastating both politically and environmentally. On top of the environmental damage directly caused by military operations, the invasion has put an abrupt end to the EU-Russia "green cooperation", which had previously raised many hopes. At the same time, it has also shifted international attention away from climate and environmental concerns, which are particularly acute in the post-Soviet region.
  This Report analyses some of the main climate change and environmental issues in the post-Soviet space, providing an initial assessment of the invasion's impact. The bulk of the latest scholarly and policy production on these matters focuses on Russia – given the country's geopolitical and energy relevance. However, this analysis finds that environmental disasters such as the desertification of the Aral Sea transcend state borders and require a broader approach both from an analytic and policy standpoint.
