Has the World Lost Its Humanity? offers an original and unique perspective of events during the darkest period of Iraq's modern history. The book is based on the author's personal and professional experience as director of the charity Medical Aid for Iraqi Children, MAIC. Through her fifteen years work at MAIC, May shares fascinating insight on the effects of UN sanctions on the daily life of Iraqis. She also explores issues rarely discussed before: the complex process of liaising with sanction departments in London and New York and she highlights the problems the charity encountered in the process. May describes emotionally her visits to children's hospitals in Iraq and the children's tragic suffering where even basic medical needs were mostly unavailable. The book also narrates heart-warming stories of ordinary people from all walks of life, offering selfless sacrifices to provide support to the Iraqi children. Academics, historians and the general public would find this book very informative and interesting.

Just a few years before the dawn of the digital age, Harvard psychologist Bert Kaplan set out to build the largest database of sociological information ever assembled. It was the mid-1950s, and social scientists were entranced by the human insights promised by Rorschach tests and other innovative scientific protocols. Kaplan, along with anthropologist A. I. Hallowell and a team of researchers, sought out a varied range of non-European subjects among remote and largely non-literate peoples around the globe. Recording their dreams, stories, and innermost thoughts in a vast database, Kaplan envisioned future researchers accessing the data through the cutting-edge Readex machine. Almost immediately, however, technological developments and the obsolescence of the theoretical framework rendered the project irrelevant, and eventually it was forgotten.

Lost Knowledge: The Concept of Vanished Technologies and Other Human Histories examines the idea of lost knowledge, reaching back to a period between myth and history. It investigates a peculiar idea found in a number of early texts: that there were civilizations with knowledge of sophisticated technologies, and that this knowledge was obscured or destroyed over time along with the civilization that had created it. This book presents critical studies of a series of early Chinese, South Asian, and other texts that look at the idea of specific “lost” technologies, such as mechanical flight and the transmission of images. There is also an examination of why concepts of a vanished “golden age” were prevalent in so many cultures. Offering an engaging and investigative look at the propagation of history and myth in technology and culture, this book is sure to interest historians and readers from many backgrounds.

As life goes on, some people begin to ask themselves questions. Questions that go deeper, beyond the surface level. Questions that require answers that give us a glimpse into the past, the present, and the future of our society. It is rare, to hold such deep discussions with another person, but some will find themselves asking, either when alone, maybe at night, or even in their ordinary day. As you read through the chapters of this book, a couple of questions will be asked, whether they are about people themselves, or society as a whole. As you read through the chapters, ask yourself the very same questions, that are asked in this book, and try to find the answers to them by using your knowledge and understanding of the situation described in each scenario.
