The Sound of Many Waters: A Journey Along the River Tay by Robin A. Crawford English | September 3, 2025 | ISBN: 1780279116 | 368 pages | EPUB | 4.41 Mb With the widest catchment area of any river in Britain, the Tay drains much of the lower Highlands of Scotland. A vast network of lochs and smaller bodies of water feed the Isla, Garry, Tummel, Almond and Earn, which all flow into this mighty river. As Robin Crawford walks along the banks of the Tay, we delve into the history of this landscape and his personal connection with it, from hill walks with friends into the mountains of the Tay's source to his student days in Dundee, where the Tay eventually spills out into the North Sea. Along the route we dip into the river's story: the gold-panners on the river Cononish, the Earthquake House outside Comrie, Beatrix Potter's holiday home near Dunkeld. Throughout, the river is our constant companion, connecting the small moments on which events turn and lives are changed forever.

The Socio-spatial Design of Community and Governance: Interdisciplinary Urban Design in China by Sam Jacoby English | EPUB | 2020 | 230 Pages | ISBN : 9811568103 | 209.4 MB This book proposes a new interdisciplinary understanding of urban design in China based on a study of the transformative effects of socio-spatial design and planning on communities and their governance. This is framed by an examination of the social projects, spaces, and realities that have shaped three contexts critical to the understanding of urban design problems in China: the histories of "collective forms" and "collective spaces", such as that of the urban danwei (work-unit), which inform current community building and planning; socio-spatial changes in urban and rural development; and disparate practices of "spatialised governmentality". These contexts and an attendant transformation from planning to design and from government to governance, define the current urban design challenges found in the dominant urban xiaoqu (small district) and shequ (community) development model. Examining the histories, transformations, and practices that have shaped socio-spatial epistemologies and experiences in China - including a specific sense of community and place that is rather based on a concrete "collective" than abstract "public" space and underpinned by socialised governance - this book brings together a diverse range of observations, thoughts, analyses, and projects by urban researchers and practitioners. Thereby discussing emerging interdisciplinary urban design practices in China, this book offers a valuable resource for all academics, practitioners, and stakeholders with an interest in socio-spatial design and development.

The Sleep Room: A Sadistic Psychiatrist and the Women Who Survived Him by Jon Stock English | July 22, 2025 | ISBN: 1419774476 | True EPUB | 432 pages | 1.5 MB The shocking account of the women tortured by a legendary psychiatrist in his infamous "sleep room," and the survivors fighting for change in the system Dr. William Sargant was one of the most revered figures in postwar psychiatry. He had a lucrative private practice in London and a bestselling book on brainwashing, and was a household name. He was also a regular lecturer in the United States, where he was a visiting professor at Duke University and had close connections with the CIA. But he was best known for the apogee of his career: the Sleep Room in Ward Five on the top floor of the Royal Waterloo Hospital in London. In this twilight world, Sargant's patients were subjected, often without their consent or that of their families, to continuous narcosis. They would be kept asleep for more than twenty hours a day for months at a time, roused only to be washed, fed, and given sessions of electroconvulsive therapy. Sargant believed in aggressive physical interventions: If the brain was sick, it needed to be splinted like a broken leg. Between 1964 and 1972, hundreds of women were treated in the Sleep Room, emerging with little sense of who they were or why they were there. Now in their seventies and eighties, they have come forward to share their stories. They also want answers: Who funded their dangerous treatment, and were they the unwitting victims of state-sponsored experiments? The Sleep Room is thriller writer Jon Stock's rigorous investigation into Sargant, the disturbing world of Ward Five, and the twisted science of the psychiatry that lay behind it.

The Simulation Hypothesis: An MIT Computer Scientist Shows Why AI, Quantum Physics, and Eastern Mystics All Agree We Are in a Video Game, 2nd Edition by Rizwan Virk English | July 22nd, 2025 | ISBN: 0593853385 | 400 pages | True EPUB | 20.11 MB The definitive exploration of one of the most daring and consequential theories of our time, completely revised and updated to reflect the rapid advances in artificial intelligence and virtual reality Are we living in a simulation? MIT computer scientist Rizwan Virk draws from research and concepts from computer science, artificial intelligence, video games, quantum physics, and ancient mystics to explain why we may be living inside a simulated reality like the Matrix. Simulation theory explains some of the biggest mysteries of quantum and relativistic physics, such as quantum indeterminacy, parallel universes, and the integral nature of the speed of light, using information and computation. Virk shows how the evolution of our video games, including virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing, will lead us to a technological singularity. We will reach the simulation point, where we can develop all-encompassing virtual worlds like the OASIS in Ready Player One or The Matrix-and in fact we are already likely inside such a simulation. While the idea sounds like science fiction, many scientists, engineers, and professors have given the simulation hypothesis serious consideration, including Elon Musk, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Nick Bostrom. But the simulation hypothesis is not just a modern idea. Philosophers of all traditions have long contended that we are living in some kind of "illusion" and that there are other realities that we can access with our minds. The Simulation Hypothesis is the definitive book on simulation theory and is now completely updated to reflect the latest developments in artificial intelligence and virtual reality. Whether you are a computer scientist, a fan of science fiction like the Matrix movies, a video game enthusiast, a spiritual seeker, or simply a fan of mind-bending thought experiments, you will never look at the world the same way again.

Law school graduate Santi Elcano's idealism is wearing away by the cases and clients he's assigned. When a young mother, Anna Weston, is brutally murdered and her body is found near Reno's infamous silver mines, Santi and his mentor in the public defender's office, C.J., are tasked with defending Michael Atwood, a man arrested for Anna's murder on scant physical evidence. Eight years later, a shocking letter from Atwood-now on death row-forces Santi to reexamine his role in the case. At the time, public obsession with Anna's disappearance and intense pressure on the police to make an arrest led to a rushed trial. As they investigated the case, Santi and C.J. became increasingly convinced they were defending an innocent man. Now, a horrific discovery leads Santi to reconsider everything he once believed, and all that it has cost him-love, family, and friendship. Illuminating the deals that get cut in the name of justice, The Silver State explores the murkiness between victim and perpetrator, and the cost of a life in the law. Turning the legal thriller on its head, Urza tells an electrifying, emotionally charged tale of systemic failure and moral ambiguity that asks: What if justice isn't something the legal system is truly capable of?For readers of Scott Turow'sPresumed Innocentand Bryan Stevenson'sJust Mercy."

The Shortest History of Turkey by Benjamin C. Fortna English | July 1st, 2025 | ISBN: 176064465X | 256 pages | True EPUB | 2.66 MB The world-changing story of Turkey - a country caught between two worlds This brilliant distillation traces Turkey's long and complicated history from the rise and decline of the Ottoman Empire - the most enduring, and perhaps the most important, Islamic empire in history - to the emergence of the modern Turkish Republic in the early twentieth century and the populist, authoritarian leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan today. Over more than nine centuries of change, Turkey has been a cultural melting pot, straddling Asia and Europe, and a nation-state bent on ethnic unity. It has seen conquest and reform, appeals to tradition and calls to modernise. It has been a home to Christians, Jews, Muslims and more, and it has aggressively pursued both secularisation and Islamisation. In The Shortest History of Turkey, historian Benjamin Fortna offers a concise yet nuanced overview of this complex trajectory, revealing how persistent tensions between opposing visions for Turkey have shaped, and continue to shape, the country and its people.

The Shortest History of France by Colin Jones English | March 25, 2025 | ISBN: 1913083306 | 260 pages | EPUB | 36 Mb From Caesar's Gallic Wars and Frankish tribes to revolution, cultural ascendance, and civil unrest, this book is a richly compact, eye-opening history of the world's most visited country. France is the most popular tourist destination in the world, thanks to its unsurpassed cultural and historical riches. Gothic architecture, Louis XIV opulence, revolutionary spirit, café society, haute cuisine and couture . . . what could be more quintessentially French? Rarely, however, do we think of France as a melting pot, and yet historian Colin Jones asserts it's no less a mélange of foreign ingredients than the United States, and by some measures more. As nationalism and anti-immigration rhetoric surge in France (and elsewhere), The Shortest History of France presents a portrait of a nation whose politics and society have always been shaped by global forces. Grounded in up-to-date historical scholarship that avoids the traps of national exceptionalism, Jones reminds us that it was only after the first millennium of French history―following constant subjugation to the Roman Empire, Germanic invaders, and the Holy Roman Empire―that a nation-state began to emerge. Even then, regions of France were independent and more closely linked to neighboring states. The medieval crusades and then overseas colonization were two further vectors of global connection, admitting Islamic, North African, and Caribbean influences. France has been home to the Enlightenment, The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and The Paris Agreement. Meanwhile, its darker moments have included the Vichy regime and the Algerian War, along with persistent racism, police brutality, and civil unrest. From the serious to the sublime, The Shortest History of France is a dynamic, global story enhanced with touches of cultural radiance―truly a retelling for our times.

The Secret Market of the Dead by Giovanni De Feo English | July 8, 2025 | ISBN: 1668077361, 9781668077382 | True EPUB | 336 pages | 6.6 MB An "enthralling" (Genevieve Cogman, author of The Invisible Library and Elusive) Italian-inspired gothic historical fantasy about a young woman who finds her power in the nocturnal realm that lurks beneath her town. Just beyond the waking edges of Lucerìa, an 18th-century town in the kingdom of Naples, lies the Night: an enigmatic fiefdom governed by seven immortals and fueled by Moira, the power to reshape one's destiny. On this porous border separating Day from Night, Oriana spends her time fantasizing about becoming a smith in her father's forge and eavesdropping on whispered tales of beasts and men who roam the nocturnal realm. But in the Night, these stories come alive, as Oriana saw for herself after she inadvertently trespassed into the Secret Market of the Dead, where vendors hawk Moira to those desperate enough to accept its immeasurably steep price. Years later, when her father chooses her twin brother to succeed him, Oriana challenges her sibling to a series of trials to determine the forge's true heir. But as the twins' fierce competition escalates, with the town and her own family set firmly against her, Oriana realizes that to break free from the stifling confines of Day, she must once again embrace the Night-and, as always, everything comes with a cost.

The Salt Stones: Seasons of a Shepherd's Life by Helen Whybrow English | June 3, 2025 | ISBN: 1571311629 | True EPUB | 256 pages | 9.4 MB Set in Vermont's Green Mountains, a profoundly moving meditation on the lessons and wisdom that come from raising a family, tending sheep, and living close to the land. In the heart of Vermont's Green Mountains, Helen Whybrow and her partner set out to restore an old two-hundred-acre farm. Knowing that "belonging more than anything requires participation," they begin to intertwine their lives with the land. But soon after releasing a flock of Icelandic sheep onto the worn-out fields, Whybrow realizes that the art of shepherding extends far beyond the flock and fences of Knoll Farm. In prose both vivid and lean, The Salt Stones offers an intimate and profoundly moving story of what it means to care for a flock and truly inhabit a piece of land. The shepherd's life unfolds for Whybrow in the seasons and cycles of farming and family-birthing lambs, fending off coyotes, rescuing lost sheep in a storm, and raising children while witnessing her mother's decline. Exploring the interdependence of animals, as well as of the earth and ourselves, Whybrow reflects on the ways sheep connect her to place and to the ancient practice of shepherding. Evocative, affectionate, and illuminating, The Salt Stones sings of a way of life that is at once ancient and entirely contemporary, inspiring us all to seek greater intimacy and a sense of belonging wherever our home place may be.

The Ruin of Being: Heidegger and Nazism by Bob Kowalski English | January 29, 2025 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0DVFLRS4R | 147 pages | EPUB | 0.79 Mb The book The Ruin of Being: Heidegger and Nazism offers a critical investigation into the intersections between Martin Heidegger's philosophy and his ideological commitment to the Nazi regime. The work not only explores Heidegger's affiliation with the Nazi Party but also provides a detailed philosophical analysis of how certain aspects of his ontology, especially in Being and Time, can be read in light of the political and moral context of his time. The author rigorously addresses the ethical implications of Heidegger's philosophy, questioning how key concepts such as "being-in-the-world" and "authenticity" might have been instrumentalized to justify or, at the very least, coexist with totalitarian ideologies. The author does not suggest that Heidegger's work is intrinsically Nazi, but rather that the lack of a clear ethical stance in his philosophy created openings for the thinker to ally with a regime that promoted extreme nationalism, racial exclusion, and oppression. The historical review in The Ruin of Being is compelling as it examines Heidegger's speeches and writings during his time as rector of the University of Freiburg, revealing how he articulated a critique of modernity that resonated with elements of Nazi ideology, particularly his technophobic and antidemocratic views. The author highlights, for example, Heidegger's use of enigmatic and ambiguous language, which sometimes disguised his support for the regime. However, the book goes beyond historical judgment. It questions the relevance of Heidegger's philosophy in the contemporary world, raising the provocative issue of whether we can separate the thinker's genius from the weight of his moral choices. This question is particularly relevant to philosophy and the humanities in general, which have sometimes avoided confronting the darker side of Heidegger's legacy directly. The great merit of the work lies in its ability to conduct a thorough examination without resorting to simplifications. Instead of offering a summary condemnation, the author proposes a critical reading, allowing the reader to take a stance on the complex relationship between philosophy, politics, and ethics. In summary, The Ruin of Being is a valuable contribution to studies on Heidegger and the ethical responsibility of philosophers and intellectuals in the world. By questioning the relevance of Heideggerian thought in a context that ignores its political implications, the book makes us reflect on the role of philosophy in times of moral and ideological crisis.
