A Question of Time

Taiwan is a flourishing liberal democracy and a key player in the global economy. Yet it is far from secure. China considers it a renegade province and has not renounced its right to use force to resolve the dispute. Taiwan must therefore deter China’s aggression by convincing Chinese leaders that the costs using force against Taiwan will outweigh any possible benefits. In this monograph, a team of researchers from George Mason University and the University of Waterloo suggest a holistic strategy that Taiwan can use to enhance its conventional deterrence posture. Their conclusions are simple but radical: instead of organizing its defenses around a small inventory of conventional jets, ships and tanks, Taiwan should acquire large numbers of cheap, asymmetric weapons. It should also transform its massive reserve command into a territorial defense force trained to wage guerrilla warfare. By threatening to wage a never-ending war of denial against an invader, Taiwan can more credibly impact China’s cost-benefit calculus.

Dear Loll

The Manchester Guardian journalist Gerard Fay was called up to fight in World War II in the summer of 1940. He joined the army as an ordinary soldier and his wife Alice or 'Loll' (short for Lollipop) remained in the north of England. There began a fascinating correspondence between the couple recording Gerard's commission in the South Wales Borderers which led to his service on D-Day on 6 June 1944 and subsequent wounding, and Alice's life on the home front raising two children.

Here is a collection of vivid poetry that aims to take readers on a powerful journey into the depths of abstract imagery and realization. This journey begins with The Unseen Grove, an inspirational poem that grows louder with each flowing page, leading readers down a reflective, rocky path infused with courage, growth, and hope. The journey then continues with more works that seek to express life in such a way that poetry alone can achieve, with richness and beauty. ”When you feel something and you're at a breaking point, you have to decide to keep feeling that way or to change, and you can clearly see the paths before you. One path leads to the death and despair of your treasured soul, the other to peace, or at least a way to peace. A long hard path, but at least it's the right path. It's basically a choice to either fight or succumb. Are you willing to fight, or will you crumble and die inside, like you have before?"

A meaningful, inspiring work of poetry that speaks to the lost soul, 31 Poems On the Island of Love, Loss, and Grief will hypnotize you with vivid imagery and frightening tension. Be prepared for travel to surreal places that are mired in desolation, yet also infused with hope. --- Her tears crystallized within the body an avenue of representation. When the soul tears, we often leave marks hidden underneath our skin, gaping wounds that need time to heal. Hallelujah commadre, let us dance on the roof tops, and sing in whispers So as not to wake the evil that sleeps by candle light, down in the room below. The festival is starting! Come dance, feel the weave, breathe in the air, the surroundings, the Wagons lined up row by row. Wooden, hard and unmoving, like your soul was before you came here. The trip of a soul time, halfway across her world. She will sleep well tonight, lavender and roses pollinating outside the Window, where glass meets wood.
