This book gives its reader a potent enabling tool because it is it. It helps you instantly increase personal, social and environmental well-being that is accredited and free. Savor momentous 54 sense contact with the breathtaking balance and beauty in natural areas, backyard or backcountry.Improve your every relationship by 85% as you help the natural world help you help yourself and others integrate Nature's wisdom into your life and livelihood.We have learned to reject nature-connected interactions and endure our miseries because we teach ourselves to deny we are doing this as well as refute the social technology that enables us to remedy it. This white paper lets you invoke a special revolutionary wisdom tool, one that stops us from injuring our Planet along with our life, heart, spirit and soul. This paper helps us create moments in Nature that let the life of Earth teach us what we need to know to transform our madness, disorders and discontents into reasonable relationships. It works because it interlaces us with authentic Nature, in and around us, the fountainhead of authority in how its perfections work.Do you know what the greatest truth in your life is that you can trust and it is not God, Love, Honesty or Nature? Most people think they do while their heartaches demonstrate that they don't. Today's catastrophic excessiveness and earth misery result from us learning to omit our greatest asset while "How to Liberate your Natural Essence" warranties: "Reading this white paper is the greatest truth in your life that you can trust because it is it" -It empowers you to use it anytime and it is the essence of love.-It feelingly registers in your psyche. -It contains 54 natural senses/sensibilities, not just five. It is self-evident.-It is the missing film in your sensing and thinking camera. It enables you to live in balance.

Most people and disciplines want to stop the madness of our destructive relationships and peacefully increase personal, social and environmental well-being. They are disheartened that our abusive society does not provide them with an effective way to accomplish this. Revolutionary Wisdom provides that art and science. It makes sense that the life of the Universe/Nature/Earth loves to live its balance, beauty, and integrity, in and around us. However, us simply knowing this seldom stops our abuse of it because the destructive ways we learn to think and act are habitual or addictive. Our leaders cannot help us stop them because they have the same habits and addictions. Revolutionary Wisdom empowers us to scientifically create sensory moments in natural areas, backyard or back country, that let the self-correcting life of Universe/Nature/Earth consciously connect our fifty-four senses with the wisdom of Nature's perfection. Our application of this art enables us to happily transform our abusive attachments into more sensible ways of thinking, feeling and relating as we help others do the same. A pilot reader of Revolutionary Wisdom says: "This book is like wearing an 'intelligent love helmet' that enables your mind to register forty-seven otherwise silent callings in a natural area. You not only understand them, but you can also enjoyably think and act with their amazing wisdom and teach others to do the same. These attractions were a natural part of you at birth but our contemporary 'indoor socialization helmet' uncomfortably disconnects you from them." Natural intelligence and mental health studies with Project NatureConnect include your life experience and prior education in combination with the humanized physics of Albert Einstein and his GreenWave Unified Attraction Field along with newly discovered Nature constructs. With thanks to the pioneering work of Dr. Stacey Mallory, the core reality of our lives as an autobiography can now be the central focus of science, academic papers and degrees. This book helps us find and replace destructive elements of that core that were produced by our "indoor socialization helmet." The revolutionary wisdom that you find in natural areas enables you to add hands-on, updated, problem solving, nature-connected processes and professional credentials to your health, loves, relationships, livelihood, and community. Designed for academic and independent study Revolutionary Wisdom is an Organic Psychology book and course for reconnecting with Nature in local natural areas instead of inadequately substituting for their integrity. The substitutes too often abusively indoctrinate us to dominate the life of Nature, in and around us and suffer the painful consequences. To remedy this, Revolutionary Wisdom enables us to stop our suffering by creating time and space in a natural area that reinstates us back to health and happiness. Only read this book while you are consciously in contact with a natural area or natural thing, backyard or back country, that most attracts you. The more natural and attractive the area, the better. A weed, insect, tree, pet or the sky and clouds are fine when backyards, parks and other natural areas are not available. At that contact moment and each moment after that, you are a seamless, whole life continuum of the scientifically validated space-time Universe and its unified field. That contact moment is the source of your 54-senses and all other things except stories that deny it. All things in that instant are attached to everything that preceded it and all things that follow it. As your 54 senses grok it, you gain its inherent integrity.

From the Balfour Declaration of 1917 to the Suez Crisis of 1956, Britain's strategic interests in Palestine and in the Middle East underwent radical changes. A leading authority on the British Mandate in Palestine and the rise of the state of Israel, Professor Michael J. Cohen focuses on these changing interests in this anthology of some of his seminal works. This book includes previously unpublished material and an introductory chapter surveying the changing views and interpretations of the Declaration over the past 100 years. Britain's imperial interests are the key to understanding these changes, why she supported the Zionist cause until the mid-1930s, and why her priorities changed thereafter. After the Second World War her priorities changed once again and Allied strategic planners drew up contingency plans to meet the threat of a potential Third World War against the Soviet bloc. This anthology closes with an analysis of the botched Suez War. This caused not only the failure of the military operation, but a grave crisis with the Americans, Eden's fall from power, and the denouement of Britain's Middle East hegemony. Professor Cohen's essays are essential reading for anyone wanting a clear understanding of the Middle Eastern context of the Palestine Mandate, and the rise of the State of Israel during this period.

This collection of articles analyzes the underlying motivation, strategy and interests which lay behind "Great Power" (British and post-World War II American) involvement in Palestine and the Middle East, from 1917 to 1948.

Churchill's exalted position in the pantheon of Jewish and Zionist heroes has been almost taken for granted. This book looks beyond the myth and makes a sober reappraisal of the British statesman's attitudes and policies towards the Jews and to Zionism.

Cohen examines the struggle leading to the creation of the state of Israel, placing British evacuation of Palestine in the context of Britain's postwar weakness. The author describes the policies and character of each of the major actors in his story--Bevin. Truman. Ben-Gurion, and the Mufti of Jerusalem. Originally published in 1982. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

In 1917, the British issued the Balfour Declaration for military and strategic reasons. This book analyses why and how the British took on the Palestine Mandate. It explores how their interests and policies changed during its course and why they evacuated the country in 1948.During the first decade of the Mandate the British enjoyed an influx of Jewish capital mobilized by the Zionists which enabled them not only to fund the administration of Palestine, but also her own regional imperial projects. But in the mid-1930s, as the clouds of World War Two gathered, Britain’s commitment to Zionism was superseded by the need to secure her strategic assets in the Middle East. In consequence she switched to a policy of appeasing the Arabs. In 1947, Britain abandoned her attempts to impose a settlement in Palestine that would be acceptable to the Arab States and referred Palestine to the United Nations, without recommendations, leaving the antagonists to settle their conflict on the battlefield.Based on archival sources, and the most up-to-date scholarly research, this comprehensive history offers new insights into Arab, British and Zionist policies. It is a must-read for anyone with an interest in Palestine, Israel, British Colonialism and the Middle East in general.

The period covered by this book witnessed a significant change in Allied strategy for the Middle East. Its focus switched from Egypt to the states of the so-called northern tier of the Middle East: Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Pakistan. This book reveals the extent to which the UK clung on to great-power pretensions and used bluff, even deception, in order to give the impression that it disposed of greater military resources than was in fact the case. It describes not only Anglo-American tensions in the Middle East, but also the Americans' reluctance to take over Britain's former hegemony in the region. Finally, it reveals the extent to which the Allies' relationship with Israel was a constant restraint upon their freedom of action in the area, and their ability to forge military alliances with Arab states.

This description of Allied contingency plans for military operations in the Middle East - in the event of conflict with the Soviet Union - argues that diplomatic events and crises in the Middle East in 1945-55 are understandable only in the context of assets sought by the Allies in that region.

Here is a brief, intelligent, even-handed analytical account of the origins of the Arab-Zionist conflict and its development from early in the twentieth century until 1948, focusing particularly on the period when Britain ruled Palestine under mandate from the League of Nations.
