The meaning of life, what does that really mean? It comes down to finding your life's purpose, that defining moment when you understand that your life goals need to focus on things that are bigger than yourself. Self-love and self-doubt can be equally destructive. Purpose comes from finding that sweet spot where you can be confident and humble at the same time. Then we can identify the things in life that give us fulfillmentto have the ability to see where we fit into the puzzle of life and do what we were meant to do. This book is meant to be a map to guide us along the journey to that goal. It can help you stay focused and avoid the distractions that lead to confusion and apathy. Start at the beginning and fight the urge to jump ahead and skip crucial steps in the process. It just requires commitment and objectivity. Then what may now seem unattainable becomes very realistic.

"This is a major historical work that, in the field of Japanese imperialism, will set a standard for careful and comprehensive analysis. The Abacus and the Sword is the handiwork of a master historian."—Mark R. Peattie, author of Nan'yo: The Rise and Fall of the Japanese in Micronesia, 1885-1945 "This book . . . deserves a wide readership, especially among East Asia history specialists, for it represents difficult and complex scholarship at its best. . . . It is clear from an analysis of his documentation that he put solid study into the Japan-Korea relationship problem, one of the most complex in modern East Asian history—the equivalent perhaps of the English-Irish relationship in Western History. . . . This book is . . . well worth reading, not only for East Asian specialists but for anyone fascinated by the mysteries of history." Hilary Conroy, American Academy of Political Science

"Argument and imagination are often interdependent. The Aesthetics of Argument is concerned with how this relationship may bear on argument's concern with truth, not just persuasion, and with the enhancement of understanding such interdependence may bring. The rationality of argument, conceived as the advancement of reasons for or against a claim, is not simply a matter of deductive validity. Whether arguments are relevant, have force, or look foolish--or whether an example is telling or merely illustrative--cannot always be assessed in these terms. Martin Warner presents a series of case studies which explore how analogy, metaphor, narrative, image, and symbol can be used in different ways to frame one domain in terms of another, severally or in various combinations, and how criteria drawn from the study of imaginative literature may have a bearing on their truth-aptness. Such framing can be particularly effective in argumentative roles which invite self-interrogation, as Plato saw long ago. Narrative in such cases may be fictional, whether parabolic or dramatic, autobiographical or biographical, and in certain cases may seek to show how standard conceptualizations are inadequate. Beyond this, whether in poetry or prose and not only with respect to narrative, the 'logic' of imagery enables us to make principled sense of our capacity to grasp imagistically elements of our experience through words whose use at the imaginative level has transformed their standard conceptual relationships, and hence judge the credibility of associated arguments. Assessment of the argumentative imagination requires criteria drawn not only from dialectic and rhetoric, but also from poetics"--Publisher's website.

Space expert Bara delves into the secret space program, examining the possibility that there are secret bases on the Moon, and exploring the many other rumors surrounding the military’s secret projects in space. Starting with the mysterious airship flap of 1897, tracing its possible origin to a 19th century Prussian secret society, Bara posits that man has had anti-gravity technology for quite a long time. What else doesn’t the public know? Bara brings to light a lot of evidence showing that there is plenty. • On June 8, 1959, a group at the Army Ballistic Missile Agency produced for the U.S. Army a report entitled Project Horizon, a “Study for the Establishment of a Lunar Military Outpost.” The permanent outpost was predicted to cost $6 billion and was to become operational in December 1966 with twelve soldiers stationed at the Moon base. Did this happen? • The Brookings Report drawn up at the inception of NASA said we could expect to find alien artifacts in our exploration of space. Did NASA and the Pentagon find evidence of alien bases on the Moon? Did the Apollo 12 astronauts deliberately damage the mission’s TV cameras in order to hide their explorations of one of these bases? • Does hacker Gary Mackinnon’s discovery of defense department documents identifying “non-terrestrial officers” serving in space mean that the U.S. has clandestine space platforms designed to fight a war with an alien race? And, have civilian observers here on Earth photographed these secret military space platforms? Bara explores the evidence surrounding these questions and more in this explosive book. He maintains that aside from the actual secret space program, even the public space program—NASA—has at its core a secret agenda. Bara also examines the many allegations that the government has long been clandestinely working with aliens in various covert programs.

Businesses today face unprecedented challenges as they navigate the fusion of technology, cultural diversity, and organizational paradigms. Extending strategic marketing and financial policies globally is imperative, as is creating innovative and culturally tailored human resource management. However, organizations must embrace a truly global perspective to thrive. This book illuminates the intricate interplay between evolving global business landscapes and the need for organizations to adopt a holistic approach. Organizational Paradigms of Global Business: Fusion of Technology and Cultural Diversity chronicles and analyzes the accelerating transformations driven by technological innovations, organizational models, and production processes that have fundamentally altered societal and economic structures. From the impact of the Industrial Revolution to the emergence of post-modernity, this book assesses the societal transformations since the 1960s. Furthermore, it provides insights into contemporary global complexities, including corporate vulnerabilities, jobless growth sectors, outdated public policies, and shifting global power dynamics. This book meticulously examines the key dimensions of global companies, such as multiculturalism, geographic dispersion, and the knowledgeable workforce to provide strategies for navigating dynamic environments.

Hagerty analyzes how India and Pakistan interacted in diplomatic and military crises before their 1998 nuclear tests. He presents detailed studies of the January 1987 Indo-Pakistani crisis, precipitated by India's Brasstacks military exercises, and the 1990 confrontation over Kashmir. Hagerty concludes that relations between India and Pakistan in recent years support the argument that nuclear proliferation does not necessarily destabilize international relations and may even reduce the risk of war.

This collection of fifteen original essays offers new perspectives on armed conflict as a central aspect of science fiction and fantasy writing. Looking past the superficial conventions associated with ray guns and aliens, swords and sorcerers, the contributors show how writers in the genre today are not so much imagining war more fully as they are completely re-imagining it. Science fiction and fantasy writing is no longer mired in epic or chivalric models but is responding to new and more complex "real-world" motivations for armed aggression: advances in weaponry, shifts in the theaters of war, and changes in battlefield conditions. Most of the papers were presented at the annual J. Lloyd Eaton Conference on Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature, the field's most prestigious international gathering. The trend throughout the book is away from critical interest in stories of spatial or territorial conquest and toward works that deal with topics related to wars of temporal logistics and the internationalization of the combat zone, including urban street violence, gender conflicts, and resistance to runaway technology. The essays range from studies of the semantics and linguistics of warfare in science fiction to a critique of Osip Senkovsky's Fantastic Journeys of Baron Brambeus; from writer Joe Haldeman's assessment of the impact of his Vietnam experiences on his fiction to inquiries into a shared author/reader agenda in novels concerning potential mass destruction, including Stephen King's Dead Zone and M. J. Engh's Arslan. The collection also charts new directions in writing, such as the anti-apocalyptic science fiction of Samuel R. Delany, and embraces new modes of presentation, particularly computer animation and the bande dessinee, or illustrated narrative, as exemplified by French novelist Phillippe Druillet's La Nuit. Musician Bob Marley, film actor/directors Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Lee, and the cyberpunk film classics Terminator and the Road Warrior series are among other topics discussed. Together, the essays reinforce the editors' contention that the true function of these fantasies and science fictions is neither nostalgia nor fancy, but analysis. The contributors treat the texts they examine as a means not of playing war games but of understanding the role of war in the present and the future.
