Summary

In "Mysteries of the Libyan Desert," W. J. Harding King embarks on an enthralling exploration of the enigmatic landscapes of North Africa, weaving vivid descriptions and rich narratives that transport the reader into the heart of the desert's solitude and secrets. The book combines travel writing with historical accounts, folklore, and vibrant accounts of the diverse cultures that thrive in this arid expanse. King's style is both lyrical and analytical, artfully capturing the mystery that envelops the Libyan Desert while grounding the narratives in a broader literary context that echoes the works of travel writers and explorers of the 19th and early 20th centuries, emphasizing the themes of adventure, discovery, and the interplay between man and nature. W. J. Harding King, a noted explorer and scholar, brings to this work a profound interest in anthropology and geography, shaped by his travels throughout North Africa. His insightful observations and genuine passion for understanding the complexities of the Libyan Desert inform a narrative that is as intellectually stimulating as it is entertaining. Kings's background in both academic inquiry and adventure positions him uniquely to bridge the gap between rigorous research and vivid storytelling, providing a trove of knowledge for the curious reader. This book is a must-read for anyone intrigued by the mysteries of ancient cultures, the grandeur of the Sahara, or the art of exploration itself. With its compelling blend of history and adventure, "Mysteries of the Libyan Desert" promises to captivate both scholars and armchair travelers alike, inviting them to join King on a journey into the vast unknown.

    In the 19th century, the British and Russian empires were engaged in bitter rivalry for the acquisition of Southern Asian. Although India was the ultimate prize, most of the intrigue and action took place along its northern frontier in Afghanistan, Turkestan, and Tibet. Mapping the region and gaining knowledge of the enemy were crucial to the interests of both sides. 
 
 
 
The Great Trigonometrical Survey of India began in the eighteenth century with the aim of creating a detailed map of the subcontinent. Under the leadership of George Everest—whose name was later bestowed to the world's tallest mountain—it mapped the Great Arc running from the country's southern tip to the Himalayas. Much of the work was done by Indian explorers known as Pundits. They were the first to reveal the mysteries of the forbidden city of Lhasa, and discover the true course of Tibet's mighty Tsangpo River. 
 
 
 
These explorers performed essential information gathering for the British Empire and filled in large portions of the map of Asia. Their adventurous exploits are vividly recounted in Mapping the Great Game.

    Blackmail is a crime rooted in power, fear, and manipulation. At its core, it relies on the psychological leverage one person holds over another, using threats of exposing damaging information to force compliance. Understanding the psychology of blackmail requires examining both the mindset of the blackmailer and the emotional turmoil experienced by the victim. Unlike outright theft or violence, blackmail is a more insidious form of coercion, exploiting secrets, shame, and social consequences to exert control. 
The blackmailer operates from a position of perceived dominance. They recognize that their victim has something to lose—be it their reputation, career, relationships, or financial stability. The effectiveness of blackmail depends on the victim’s fear of exposure and their willingness to go to great lengths to avoid it. Many blackmailers justify their actions by believing they are simply taking advantage of an opportunity rather than committing an outright crime. They may rationalize their behavior as a means to an end, whether for financial gain, revenge, or power. Some blackmailers thrive on control, deriving psychological satisfaction from watching their victims squirm under pressure. 
On the other side, the victim experiences a profound psychological burden. Fear and anxiety consume their thoughts as they weigh the consequences of giving in to the blackmailer’s demands versus resisting them. The secrecy surrounding blackmail can make victims feel trapped and isolated, preventing them from seeking help. Guilt and shame often play a role, especially if the information being used against them is tied to personal failings or socially unacceptable behavior. Even when victims know they are being manipulated, the sheer terror of exposure can push them into compliance, making blackmail an effective tool of coercion.

    All the Rage - Why We Feel Anger...

    Anger is all around us, from divisive social media arguments and heightened political divides to road rage and personal spats; from Black Lives Matter and climate justice movements to Trump, incels, and white supremacists. When it materializes, it seems to cry out for recognition and response. It affects our bodies and can transition into violence. It can be inherited through the generations; it can manifest in criminal acts. What should we do with it, and can it ever be put to good use?Drawing on case studies of patients, developments in neuropsychology, literature, philosophy, and recent political events, acclaimed author and psychoanalyst Josh Cohen identifies the different forms of anger, including the most untrammeled and elemental fury, the more cynical anger that works towards political unrest, and the questioning anger of political protest. Rather than an emotion to ignore, he argues that anger is a primary human feeling. It maps itself onto every aspect of our intimate lives while politically and culturally shaping our world.In a time of intense dissatisfactions and spiraling divisions, and with anger a dominating force, All the Rage offers a new and original understanding of anger, so we may better handle the rage within us.
