Summary

In "De re militari," Vegetius offers a comprehensive examination of military strategy and tactics, presenting a detailed guide for Roman military practices that resonates through the ages. Written in a clear and systematic style, the treatise emphasizes the importance of discipline, training, and the moral character of soldiers. Vegetius deftly amalgamates historical examples with poignant insights, reflecting the military climate of late antiquity, when the Roman Empire faced increasing external pressures. His work not only serves as a manual for commanders but also highlights the ideological underpinnings of military strength, linking preparedness with the stability of the state. Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus, a Roman author typically associated with the late 4th century AD, lived during a time of transformation for the Roman military. His background and experiences within a crumbling empire may have influenced his desire to compile and reformulate military wisdom for both contemporary and future audiences. Vegetius's unique perspective, advocating for a return to discipline and classical virtues amid decline, reflects his concern for the Roman state, embedding his work in the historical context of military reform. "De re militari" is essential reading for historians, military scholars, and anyone interested in the evolution of military thought. Vegetius's insights remain relevant, providing not only a glimpse into the tactical frameworks of Rome but also timeless lessons in leadership and governance. This book will enhance your appreciation of military practices and their historical significance.

    Love will always triumph over Evil The world is ruled by a handful of Super Rich. These, in their short-sighted management of the planet, are leading Humanity to its own self-destruction. The problem is that the same destructive dynamics, typical of the egoic mind that dominate the Universal Masters, also dwell in us common mortals, so on a smaller scale we are all co-responsible for the current situation. Do we want to continue on this path, remaining in our `old ego`, and thus become passive accomplices of Humanity`s self-destruction? Or do we want to be protagonists of the global Awakening of Consciousness, to head towards a New Promised Land, save ourselves from the nuclear holocaust, and build the Earthly Paradise? But how to `Be the change we want to see realised in the world?`

    Hidden agendas exist in nearly every aspect of life, shaping decisions, influencing behavior, and often determining the outcomes of interactions without those involved fully realizing it. A hidden agenda refers to a concealed motive or underlying intention that differs from what is outwardly expressed. Unlike open and transparent objectives, hidden agendas operate beneath the surface, often serving personal, financial, or strategic interests that are not explicitly stated. 
    At their core, hidden agendas stem from the fundamental human need for control, advantage, or self-preservation. People may withhold their true intentions out of fear of rejection, loss of power, or diminished influence. In many cases, hidden agendas are not inherently malicious; they can be driven by self-interest, strategic planning, or the need to protect sensitive information. However, when used manipulatively, they can undermine trust, deceive others, and lead to unethical or harmful consequences. 
    One of the key characteristics of a hidden agenda is deception or misdirection. A person or group may present one set of intentions while secretly pursuing another. This is common in politics, business, and even personal relationships, where individuals may disguise their true motivations to gain support, manipulate outcomes, or secure an advantage. For example, a corporate leader advocating for a policy change may claim it is for the benefit of employees, while in reality, it serves to increase profits or consolidate power.

    After finishing with 3% of the presidential vote in 1904, Eugene V. Debs helped organize one of the world’s most notorious unions over the coming year. Debts and a number of other prominent labor activists and socialists in Chicago decided to hold a national conference in June 1905, and they extended invitations to socialists and many of the more radical unions. About 200 activists assembled for the 1905 meeting. Many of the attendees were from the Western Federation of Miners, which had been extremely active in organizing unions and strikes throughout the West, including Big Bill Haywood. A number of notable activists attended, including the famous Mother Jones, as well as Lucy Parsons, an activist since her husband was hanged for his part in the Haymarket Affair in Chicago. The result was the formation of the Industrial Workers of the World, a union better known by the acronym IWW. 
    	The IWW’s members have been known for more than a century as the Wobblies, and no one knows how they got the name, although there are stories that an immigrant had trouble pronouncing the letters. That would be appropriate, because the Wobblies went out of their way to unionize immigrants, who formed a sizable percentage of the American labor force in the years the IWW was influential. The Wobblies quickly became a considerable force in American labor and by far the most colorful union of its era, if not always particularly effective.  
    	The Wobblies are still around, but the years of their real effectiveness were rather brief, lasting from about 1905-1919. This work tells the story of how they came about, the peak of their influence, and the lasting legacy they forged.

    Across the West, racial injustice has become a matter of urgency. Terms like 'critical race theory' and 'intersectionality' are everywhere and, in the rush to get it right, Britain has followed the lead of the world's dominant political power: America. But what if we've been looking in the wrong place? 
    In This is Not America, Tomiwa Owolade argues that too much of the debate around racism in Britain is viewed through the prism of American ideas that don't reflect the history, challenges and achievements of black communities at home. 
    Humane, empirical and passionate, this book promises to start a new conversation around race and, vitally, shed light on black British life today.
