Cryptography in World War I: The History of the Efforts to Make and Break Secret Codes during the Great War by Charles River Editors Price verified 36 minutes ago

World War I stood apart in many ways from earlier wars, not least in the way that it reached to nearly every corner of the planet and involved a noticeable segment of humanity's collective resources. Battles erupted not only on land and the sea's surface as they had for centuries, but also in the ocean depths and the windswept heights of the sky. Nearly every conceivable terrain saw use as a battlefield: the neat farmland and small towns of Western Europe; the streets of major cities; thick forests; open steppes stretching for hundreds of miles; deserts in Africa; rugged mountain ranges; and many other regions of the globe. But one of the war's most crucial struggles happened in the realm of the unseen, inside the human mind and amid the invisible flow of radio waves. Every war is a battle of wits as intelligence-gathering, tactics, and strategies clash, from the level of individual action up to the grand, overarching schemes of generals and statesmen. Intelligence took on a freshly ...

The Distinction of Peace: A Social Analysis of Peacebuilding (Configurations: Critical Studies Of World Politics) by Catherine Goetze 5.0 Stars (2 Reviews)    Price verified 13 minutes ago

"Peacebuilding" serves as a catch-all term to describe efforts by an array of international organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and agencies of foreign states to restore or construct a peaceful society in the wake -- or even in the midst -- of conflict. Despite this variety, practitioners consider themselves members of a global profession. In The Distinction of Peace, Catherine Goetze investigates the genesis of peacebuilding as a professional field of expertise since the 1960s, its increasing influence, and the ways it reflects global power structures. Goetze describes how the peacebuilding field came into being, how it defines who belongs to it and who does not, and what kind of group culture it has generated. Using an innovative methodology, she investigates the motivations of individuals who become peacebuilders, their professional trajectories and networks, and the "good peacebuilder" as an ideal. For many, working in peacebuilding in various ways -- as an aid worker ...

Problematic: The Psychology of Social Justice Fanaticism by Ryan Rogers 4.0 Stars (6 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

For most Americans it can be confusing the first time you hear that gardening is racist or that men can have babies. But most of us realize that to question these things would bring a world of trouble, so we keep our heads down and our mouths shut. This book delves into the psychology of social justice fanaticism, or as it more commonly called, Wokeness. In this book you will learn how Wokeness mimics several psychological disorders, such as OCD, paranoia, and borderline personality disorder. You will see the social psychology of how the Woke are able to unconsciously dismiss or ignore any information that fails to confirm their worldview. The social justice movement is compared to cults, conspiracy theories, and political fanaticism like communism. This ideology is perhaps most accurately compared to a religion, one where its adherents conduct their rituals loudly to let others know how much holier they are than the unbelievers. After reading this book you will gain a thorough ...

Free Will or Won’t: … are we in charge of our lives or not? by Geoff Canham 5.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 9 hours ago

Some claim that modern science has demonstrated that free will is an illusion, while others say that is ridiculous. This book looks at all sides of the subject to find out if we have free will, and if so, how much. What are the arguments for free will and what are the arguments against? What is free will anyway? Do we live in the deterministic world of classical physics or the random world of quantum mechanics? Does free will differentiate us from other animals, or are we all just driven by instinct? Without consciousness we really couldn't have free will, but how far have we come in understanding what consciousness is and how it comes about? Geoff examines the latest findings of neuroscience to find out if our brains are more than just computers programmed by our genes and our environment, addressing the subject in a readable but thorough way.

The Annals of Petronius Jablonski: An Odyssey of Historic Proportions and Priceless Treasure of Philosophy by Petronius Jablonski (Chandelier Press) 3.3 Stars (16 Reviews)    Price verified 15 hours ago

When his classic Pontiac is abducted by a deity who lives in the depths of Lake Michigan, Petronius Jablonski is offered Enlightenment in compensation. To obtain it he must decipher the coded features of an odyssey. He neglects to share these minor details with his longsuffering girlfriend, Sandy, who accompanies him. Home-schooled by an eccentric father, Petronius holds the modern world in contempt, the demise of polytheism and eighteenth century English in general, the plague of democracy and "internets" in particular. Despairing of his ability to understand the journey and rarely paying attention, he engages the Reader's assistance. His propensity for digressions complicates the search for a solution while making a mockery of first person narration. He anticipates absurd questions and adds chapters in response, he accuses the Reader of being smitten with Sandy and makes her less attractive, and he revolutionizes Philosophy by superseding Occam's overrated Razor and Plato's ...

When was the last time you participated in an election for an online group chat or sat on a jury for a dispute about a controversial post? Platforms nudge users to tolerate nearly all-powerful admins, moderators, and "benevolent dictators for life." In Governable Spaces, Nathan Schneider argues that the internet has been plagued by a phenomenon he calls "implicit feudalism": a bias, both cultural and technical, for building communities as fiefdoms. The consequences of this arrangement matter far beyond online spaces themselves, as feudal defaults train us to give up on our communities' democratic potential, inclining us to be more tolerant of autocratic tech CEOs and authoritarian tendencies among politicians. But online spaces could be sites of a creative, radical, and democratic renaissance. Using media ...

Through Prison Bars: The Lives and Labours of John Howard and Elizabeth Fry by William H. Render 3.8 Stars (22 Reviews)    Price verified 11 hours ago

A fascinating look -- first published in 1894 -- at two philanthropists known as the "Prisoner's Friends" and the early history of prison reform. Prisons in England were once dark, inhumane places lacking any regulations. The facilities were poorly managed and unsanitary, and prisoners were treated like animals. One man and one woman, the "Prisoner's Friends," sought to change that. Through Prison Bars is an in-depth account of John Howard and Elizabeth Fry and their work in the prison reform movement in Great Britain and Europe that began in the eighteenth century and continued into the nineteenth. Author William H. Render explores their childhoods and family lives, deeply spiritual backgrounds -- Howard was a Calvinist while Fry was a dedicated Quaker -- and early days in prison philanthropy, as well as what motivated them to get involved in the first place: Howard's early days as the high sheriff of Bedfordshire and Fry's visit to the women's prison at Newgate in London. ...

Above the Clouds: Artful Musings on Civics by Isabella Berdyna Zysk Price verified 14 hours ago

Above the Clouds: Artful Musings on Civics presents four pieces of allegorical art and a brief discussion of the civic virtues that they represent: Peacefulness, Purposefulness, Integrity, and Courage. While there are many qualities of character that the leaders of any country might consider essential for fostering civic competence and responsibility among their citizenry, I consider these four to be foundational. The allegories are each presented in three layers: Flora, Fauna, and Flowerbabies. While you may smile at the sweetness of the Flowerbabies, they represent us, the citizens, in our capacity to "bloom" in positive character attributes. The Fauna is a spirit totem animal that animates the theme of the attribute, and the Flora is the background that supports the theme. While the allegorical art is simple, I hope it will encourage readers to think about the important role they each play as citizens. Note: The art is created through digital manipulation of license-free ...

Play gives us the inspiration and courage to confront, "what do we do when no one has the answer?" Play invites us to risk connection in the face of the unexpected and unfamiliar. The ability to imagine solutions to some of our most significant challenges lies in gifts that we already have but that we might have let go of too soon. Reconnect to the best parts of yourself that you may have left on the playground. Play might be one of the most outstanding resume skills you are not including. In play, we are extraordinary! It's time to reinstate the power of the do-over. Join me on this journey as I show you that play is worth risking a little of yourself to become more yourself in the process. From the science of play to personal communications with ...

CHAT (The Quantum Architects Book 1) by Peter Lihou 4.4 Stars (6 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

The social media giants of the early decades in the 21st century have died and been replaced by 'CHAT', a new artificial intelligence network built on a powerful quantum computer, affectionately called the 'Engine'. Avoiding the failings of its predecessors, CHAT has become ubiquitous. A key feature is the network's ability to translate any language to the language of the user, in real time; meaning that everyone around the world can speak to each other as if they are all speaking the same language. CHAT's artificial intelligence was developed at a remote campus of Cambridge University in Warwick, England. The academics at Warwick, led by Professor Nick Caine, continue to search for new human, as well as non-human languages, to extend the capabilities of the Engine. The Engine polls the Internet for signals by connecting to a wide range of equipment, from wildlife monitors to space stations. But one mysterious signal initially eludes the powerful translation abilities of the ...

Self, Society, and Spontaneity by Erik Davis 3.8 Stars (5 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

Frankfurt School Critical Theory is influential on the left; Austrian School Neoliberalism is influential on the right. Their differing perspectives are analogous to the different notions of the unconscious held by Freud and Jung. Freud thought that the unconscious was our enemy to be brought under control of the conscious; Jung thought that the unconscious was our friend to be respected through a kind of dialogue. Analogously, Karl Marx tended to think that social systems are our enemy, to be overcome through rationality and conscious activity; while Friedrich Hayek tended to think that the spontaneous and unconscious processes of social systems (especially, market and law) are our friends, to be embraced through respect for complexity and liberty. The approach here is an integral one involving the synthesis of opposites by appreciating the truth in both. The result is the ongoing development of two major projects: an interdisciplinary social science via the general praxeology of ...

Virginia Woolf: A Life from Beginning to End (Biographies of British Authors) by Hourly History 4.0 Stars (184 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Discover the remarkable life of Virginia Woolf... Free BONUS Inside! Virginia Woolf ranks among the most influential writers of the twentieth century. Embracing the Post-Impressionist times in which she lived, her novels reflect the artistic shift from romanticism to abstract. Plot mattered very little to Woolf. Her writing was a stream of consciousness outside of time and place. Her novels, including her best-known work, Mrs. Dalloway, invariably dwell on gender roles and the concept of reality. Woolf suffered from mental illness throughout her life. Her inner torment formed the basis of much of her writing. Virginia made multiple suicide attempts and was institutionalized several times throughout her life as she feared a loss of control due to her increasing depression and manic episodes. Her husband, Leonard Woolf, with whom she had mainly a platonic relationship, remained supportive of her until her death. On March 28, 1941, Virginia Woolf walked into the River Ouse ...
