The United States is addicted to crude oil. In this book, Andrew Price-Smith argues that this addiction has distorted the conduct of American foreign policy in profound and malign ways, resulting in interventionism, exploitation, and other illiberal behaviors that hide behind a facade of liberal internationalism. The symbiotic relationship between the state and the oil industry has produced deviations from rational foreign energy policy, including interventions in Iraq and elsewhere.

In this monumental history, Vaclav Smil provides a comprehensive account of how energy has shaped society, from pre-agricultural foraging societies through today's fossil fuel-driven civilization and offers listeners a magisterial overview of humanity's energy eras.

The world has entered a new era of geopolitical conflict.

Uranium is a common element in the earth's crust and the only naturally occurring mineral with the power to end all life on the planet. After World War II, it reshaped the global order---whoever could master uranium could master the world. Marie Curie gave us hope that uranium would be a miracle panacea, but the Manhattan Project gave us reason to believe that civilization would end with apocalypse.

In 1999, Texas passed a landmark clean energy law, beginning a groundswell of new policies that promised to make the US a world leader in renewable energy. As Leah Stokes shows in Short Circuiting Policy, however, that policy did not lead to momentum in Texas, which failed to implement its solar laws or clean up its electricity system. Examining clean energy laws in Texas, Kansas, Arizona, and Ohio over 30 years Stokes argues that organized combat between advocate and opponent interest groups is central to explaining why states are not on track to address the climate crisis.

In Fueling Freedom, energy experts Stephen Moore and Kathleen Hartnett White make an unapologetic case for fossil fuels, turning around progressives' protestations to prove that if fossil fuel energy is supplanted by "green" alternatives for political reasons, humanity will take a giant step backwards and the planet will be less safe, less clean, and less free.

In a world where oil-rich states are more likely to start war than their oil-dependent counterparts, it's surprising how little attention is still paid to these so-called petrostates. These states' wealth props up the global arms trade, provides diplomatic leverage, and allows them to support violent and nonviolent proxies. In Oil, the State, and War, Emma Ashford explores the many potential links between domestic oil production and foreign policy behavior and how oil production influences global politics.

The universe responds to our feelings. This idea is crucial in manifestation—but when we try to put it into practice, things fall flat and we feel stuck.

The aliens who gave humanity its death sentence are still not responding to our overtures for a negotiation. We keep trying to open communications with them but all we get back is silence. Russia tried to nuke them but all that happened was Moscow was sent into the sun. Even with the invention of an artificial uterus, the so-called Baby Machine, the Earth’s population of humans has begun a steady decline that, unless something changes, will end in ninety-some years with the death of the last human being. The three graduate students who discovered wormholes, Lily Yuan, Kevin Langly, and ...

Wie Hunger oder Durst ist Müdigkeit ein Mechanismus unseres Körpers, der uns am Leben hält und vor Überforderung bewahrt. Wenn der Schlaf jedoch keine Erholung mehr bringt, erfahren wir ein anderes Müdesein. Eines, das wir als krank machend empfinden und dessen Auslöser wir oft nicht identifizieren können. Dr. med. Anne Fleck hat die heimlichen Ursachen für andauernde Müdigkeit unter die Lupe genommen: Unentdeckte Infektionen, übersehene Stoffwechselstörungen, Nahrungsmittelintoleranzen, kranke Zellen oder Umwelttoxine können an unserer Leistungsfähigkeit zehren.

Rituals that involve harvesting the emotional energy of whole populations are the very root of why the world's mainstream media even exists and are given the powers they are given to promote an entity or agenda even against the interests of the people. The extent to which these rituals are rooted in human blood sacrifice, ritual abuse are known to few as well as they are to the Jews, who through history have been a favorite sacrificial object. The use of human hormones in the perfume industry is well known but very little has been written about hormones of trauma taken from those ...
