One, in 1975, hinted at its contents: "a not very serious book that answers the questions of what I think about government, life, death, and God."

In The Drone Age, Michael J. Boyle addresses some of the biggest questions surrounding the impact of drones on our world today and the risks that we might face tomorrow. Will drones produce a safer world because they reduce risk to pilots, or will the prospect of clean, remote warfare lead governments to engage in more conflicts? Will drones begin to replace humans on the battlefield? Will they empower soldiers and peacekeepers to act more precisely and humanely in crisis zones? How will terrorist organizations turn this technology back on the governments that fight them?

Scott Hartley first heard the terms fuzzy and techie while studying political science at Stanford University. If you majored in the humanities or social sciences, you were a fuzzy. If you majored in the computer sciences, you were a techie. This informal division has quietly found its way into a default assumption that has misled the business world for decades: that it's the techies who drive innovation.

We inherit mechanisms for survival from our primeval past - none so obviously as those involved in reproduction. The hormone testosterone underlies the organization of activation of masculinity: It changes the body and brain to make a male. It is involved not only in sexuality but in driving aggression, competitiveness, risk-taking - all elements that were needed for successful survival and reproduction in the past. But these ancient systems are carried forward into a modern world.

The aim is to simplify complex concepts while maintaining scientific accuracy. Technical anatomical and physiological terms are thoughtfully explained throughout the text, often accompanied by helpful diagrams and figures. It is the author’s hope that this exploration of the human voices mechanism—how it operates in both speech ...

In this enlightening exploration, Schopenhauer introduces the concept of will, a term that embodies humanitys deepest impulses—desire, striving, wanting, effort, and urging. His philosophy reveals that all of nature, including human existence, is driven by an unquenchable will to life, which paradoxically leads to our suffering. The relentless pursuit of more is the root of this pain. Schopenhauer also delves into the notion of representation (Vorstellung), referring to the mental images we form of objects perceived as separate from our minds. This includes our own bodies, which he termed ...

On the Bondage of the Will, or De Servo Arbitrio in Latin, is a pivotal work by Martin Luther published in December 1525. This powerful treatise serves as Luthers response to Desiderius Erasmuss challenge in his work, De libero arbitrio diatribe sive collatio (On Free Will), which had been released just a year earlier. The crux of their debate revolves around a fundamental question are human beings truly free to choose between good and evil after the Fall of Man? This exchange between Luther and Erasmus marks one of the earliest and most significant discussions of the Reformation, delving deep...

In this profound work, Schopenhauer explores the core notion that beneath our perceived reality lies an insatiable Will, eternally striving for satisfaction. Each human Subject interprets the Objects around them through the lens of this driving force, yet the complexities of life and individual differences often obscure our understanding of it. To truly grasp the essence of the Thing-In-Itself, we must look beyond the ‘principium individuationis’—a concept trapped within the cause-and-effect constraints of the Principle of Sufficient Reason. Art serves as a transformative medium, ...
