Summary

In "Statement of the Provision for the Poor," Nassau William Senior critically examines the institutions and policies surrounding poverty alleviation in 19th-century England. Through a meticulous blend of empirical observation and moral philosophy, Senior articulates the inefficacies and unintended consequences of contemporary welfare systems. His literary style is characterized by a clear, analytical voice that invites rigorous debate, making the work a cornerstone in social policy discourse. The book offers a significant contribution to the emerging field of social economics, situating itself within the broader Victorian context of reform, industrialization, and the evolving understanding of socio-economic responsibilities. Nassau William Senior, an influential economist and a founding figure of the statistical school of political economy, drew on his extensive background in public service and academia to pen this critical assessment. His experiences as a professor at Oxford and as a member of various governmental commissions informed his insights into poverty, welfare, and moral duty. Senior was deeply concerned with the effects of poverty on society, and this work reflects his dedication to creating a more equitable system that balances compassion with practical governance. "Statement of the Provision for the Poor" is an essential read for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of poverty and welfare. Senior's thought-provoking arguments challenge readers to consider the moral imperatives and practical implications of social assistance, making it a vital text for contemporary discussions on poverty and ethics.

    Ancient Norse mythology's fabled universe features gods, giants, and mortals living among the cosmic infrastructure of Nine Realms that will, according to the book titled "Exploring the Realms of Norse Mythology: Exploring the Nine Realms: Unveiling the Rich Tapestry of Norse Mythology," reveal itself very soon. 
    There were books covering each and every kingdom. The writers started with Asgard, the land of powerful gods, went on through the mysterious and fertile lands of Vanaheim to hard rocky plains of Jotunheim, the land of giants, all along assisted by the central axis formed by Yggdrasil, the World Tree. 
    And then readers are taken down on this road with them where epic myth and the lore of Norse culture narrates the stirring tale of heroism, honor and destiny. It has to be said that the book includes detailed retellings of important myths, old gods such as Odin, Thor, and Freyja, or spiritual and cultural ideals in this exhaustive inquiry. 
    The book has been built chapter by chapter upon an exploration of one of the Nine Realms: on each world's cosmic function, its inhabitants, and symbolism in Norse mythology. The book also delves into how these old tales continue to inspire and echo today in speaking to common human concerns. 
    "Exploring the Realms of Norse Mythology" is an enlightening, encyclopedic treatment for anyone keen on really understanding the depth and power of Norse myths, which would be ideally suited to either the connoisseur of myths or any newcomer to the subject matter. It inspires readers into rediscovering the old classics and what they have to say nowadays.

    “[A] seasoned national security professional and gifted writer” offers an in-depth analysis of what might happen after a nuclear attack on US soil (Matthew Kroenig, author of Exporting the Bomb).   In the parlance of disaster preparedness, “right of boom” refers to the terrifying moments after a crisis hits. In Right of Boom, national security specialist Benjamin Schwartz examines what could happen after a nuclear explosion takes place in the United States—the event that many experts have acknowledged as the greatest single national security threat we face. While many assume such an attack would automatically trigger a globally devastating exchange of nuclear attacks, Schwartz demonstrates that the realities are far more nuanced and complex.   Hypothesizing an explosion in downtown Washington, DC, Schwartz maps out the likely ramifications while going deep into history to explore the limited range of options available to a commander in chief. Drawing from his experience as an analyst at the Departments of Defense, State, and Energy, Schwartz offers a fully panoramic view of a terrifyingly real possibility.  “Should be required reading.” —The Washington Free Beacon

    Border fixity—the proscription of foreign conquest and the annexation of homeland territory—has, since World War II, become a powerful norm in world politics. This development has been said to increase stability and peace in international relations. Yet, in a world in which it is unacceptable to challenge international borders by force, sociopolitically weak states remain a significant source of widespread conflict, war, and instability.In this book, Boaz Atzili argues that the process of state building has long been influenced by external territorial pressures and competition, with the absence of border fixity contributing to the evolution of strong states—and its presence to the survival of weak ones. What results from this norm, he argues, are conditions that make internal conflict and the spillover of interstate war more likely. Using a comparison of historical and contemporary case studies, Atzili sheds light on the relationship between state weakness and conflict. His argument that under some circumstances an international norm that was established to preserve the peace may actually create conditions that are ripe for war is sure to generate debate and shed light on the dynamics of continuing conflict in the twenty-first century.
