Democracy in America

Alexis de Toqueville

Sinopse

Democracy in America is a classic work of political and social analysis written by Alexis de Tocqueville, a French political thinker and historian. The book was published in two volumes, the first in 1835 and the second in 1840, following Tocqueville's extensive travels and observations of the young United States.

Tocqueville's primary goal in writing "Democracy in America" was to understand the functioning of American society and the success of democracy in the United States. He wanted to explore the strengths and weaknesses of democracy and its impact on individual liberties, social equality, and political institutions. The work is considered a landmark in the study of democracy and remains widely read and influential.

Alexis Charles Henri Clérel, comte de Tocqueville (29 July 1805 – 16 April 1859), usually known as just Tocqueville, was a French aristocrat, diplomat, political scientist, political philosopher and historian. He is best known for his works Democracy in America (appearing in two volumes, 1835 and 1840) and The Old Regime and the Revolution (1856). In both, he analyzed the living standards and social conditions of individuals as well as their relationship to the market and state in Western societies. Democracy in America was published after Tocqueville's travels in the United States and is today considered an early work of sociology and political science.

The Future of Urban Mobility -...

Lyric Vale

The concept of smart cities has emerged as a transformative force in urban development, redefining the way people live, work, and move within urban spaces. At its core, a smart city integrates advanced technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and big data, to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of urban infrastructure. By leveraging these technologies, cities can address the growing challenges of population density, resource management, and environmental sustainability.
One of the key components of smart cities is their ability to connect and optimize various urban systems. Transportation networks, for instance, are becoming more interconnected and intelligent. Sensors embedded in roads, traffic signals, and public transit vehicles gather real-time data that helps manage congestion, optimize routes, and improve safety. In cities like Singapore, smart traffic management systems have already reduced travel times and minimized emissions, showcasing the potential of technology-driven solutions.
Smart cities also prioritize sustainability by incorporating green initiatives and resource-efficient systems. Renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines, are increasingly integrated into urban grids, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Water management systems, equipped with IoT sensors, monitor usage and detect leaks to prevent waste. These efforts are particularly important as cities strive to achieve climate targets and reduce their ecological footprints.

The Dhammapada Vol 5 - The Way...

Osho

"The World Is on Fire" is the title of the first chapter in this fifth volume of The Dhammapada, Osho's contemporary presentation of the sayings of Buddha. What does Buddha mean by fire? He means anguish, anxiety, despair, misery; that's what Buddha means by fire. It is a symbol. Everybody is on fire because everybody is divided, split, schizophrenic. Everybody is on fire because there is great anxiety in the world, the anxiety of: "Am I going to make it this time or not?" Does this sound familiar to you?
This series is not an interpretation of Buddhism, it is not intended to turn you into a Buddhist. Osho does not promote any following or old scriptures—at all.
This series is all about raising of our consciousness, about real wisdom—and it is not coming from some ancient religious figure—it comes from you, it is inside of you. Buddha experienced it, Osho shared the experience and you can too. It is not coming from someone—it is discovered within ourselves. Buddha speaks in the language of his day; Osho speaks our language—he takes the role of a spiritual translator of a message which is timeless.
In these crazy times—find a nice space, start listening to this series of talks and Osho takes you into a world of wonders—within yourself.

- The World Is on Fire
- The Heart Has No Questions
- Now My Mind is Free
- Transforming Unconsciousness into Consciousness
- Love Yourself and Watch
- Wonder and Awe
- You Are the Source

The Last Best Hope - A History...

John Hulsman

In this brilliant exploration of American history and contemporary conservative politics, foreign policy expert John Hulsman draws on his years at the heart of Washington to present a compelling new vision of conservative realism. 
In our current Age of Insecurity, Hulsman suggests, there has never been a bigger need for the re-ascendance of realist principles in conservative circles. By drawing on U.S. history to illustrate realist precepts at the heart of the American story, The Last Best Hope provides a practical, realist foreign policy for a new age of American politics. 
There has never been a greater time to re-claim the primacy of conservative thought. By fusing the populist Jacksonian base of the GOP with the more libertarian Jeffersonian school of thought, this cogently argued manifesto hopes to grasp that opportunity, and to act as a clarion call for a new dominant realist foreign policy.
