Stories are one of the most fundamental aspects of the human experience. They seize our attention, help us make meaning, allow us to better understand ourselves (and others), and offer new perspectives on the world. But how do you make a story do all that? As a New York Times best-selling..

As a New York Times best-selling author and award-winning host of NPR's All Things Considered, Ari Shapiro knows the power of storytelling better than most. He's covered wars in Iraq, Ukraine, and Israel. He's sat down with celebrated authors and struggling families. He's reported from migrant caravans on the ground and press pools aboard Air Force One. And the longer he's worked in the field, the more convinced he's become of storytelling's primal importance.

"Stories are about more than information," he says. "They're an opportunity to foster understanding. That's why, whether you're a journalist or some other kind of storyteller, thinking deeply about storytelling, and working to make your stories come alive for the audience, is so worthwhile."

In The Power of Storytelling with Ari Shapiro, this master of the craft reveals the storytelling secrets he's learned over the course of his storied career as a reporter and performer. From finding a good story and choosing the right characters to conducting interviews and even delivering a story effectively out loud, the skills and techniques in these 12 fascinating lessons are a powerful toolkit for all kinds of storytellers at all levels of experience. This is a one-of-a-kind chance to get behind the microphone with a world-class journalist; to peer over his shoulder as he discovers and shapes some of his most memorable stories; and to learn how a great story, well-told, has the power to touch the hearts and minds of complete strangers.

Go behind the Scenes of Ari's NPR Stories

How does one succeed at storytelling? What makes one story memorable and another forgettable? How can a single story elicit deep emotional responses in an audience?

These are just a few of the questions that serve as the launchpad for Ari's helpful strategies on powerful storytelling. While no story is guaranteed to thrill everyone, your chances of telling a memorable story increase when you employ certain techniques and follow certain rules.

"Journalistic stories are grounded in facts and current events," Ari explains, "but nobody will remember them if they're just the facts. Stories are about more than information. Working to make your stories come alive for the audience is so worthwhile."

And what better way to see these techniques and rules in action than through Ari's own journalism? Each lesson in The Power of Storytelling with Ari Shapiro takes you behind the scenes of some of Ari's most powerful news stories. For example

Pacing. While reporting on millions of Venezuelans migrating a 250-mile journey into neighboring Colombia, Ari had to be careful not to lull listeners to sleep but to keep them enthralled. To do so, he consciously varied the pacing of his story. To hit his audience with the emotional gut punches these migrants were enduring, he had to slow down and let the audience absorb what they'd just heard.
Connection. In 2008, while in Houston covering Hurricane Ike, Ari met a mother and adult daughter, Linda and Evelyn, looking for a generator to help power a breathing machine for Linda's adult son, Mike. Ari followed them throughout the day, knowing that in Evelyn and Linda he'd found relatable characters trapped in a high-stakes situation-characters his audience would not only want to spend time with but would want to root for.
Transparency. When Ari visited the Poland-Ukraine border at the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in March 2022, he and his team arranged an interview with a family of Ukrainian refugees. Before the interview, he and his team sat down to explain how they would approach the conversation. He wanted to ensure his interview subjects knew they were in control of the discussion.
Improvisation. During a 2014 interview about Ferguson, Missouri, where demonstrations and violence followed the security officer killing of Michael Brown, Ari came prepared with questions. But one of the main reasons Ari considers this story so powerful and effective is that, when it came time to interview the mayor of Ferguson, James Knowles, he let his questions go. (Ari reveals the exact moment he set his script aside, and what happened next.)
Borrow from Ari's Storytelling Toolkit

The Power of Storytelling with Ari Shapiro is a chance for you to pore over Ari's own tried-and-true toolkit for memorable storytelling. With Ari's engaging and empowering lessons, you'll gain the confidence to use these tools toward whatever story it is you're trying to tell, from a news report to a novel to a public performance. As you go, you will learn

Don't Be Afraid to Vary the Emotional Palette. Think of a good story like a good dessert-There's not just one sweet note but a little bit of tartness or saltiness to offset the sugar. Moments of humor, surprise, and delight are worth including in even the saddest story because they keep it moving in unexpected directions and make it multidimensional. Just like life.
When in Doubt, Work from a Template. Organizing your material into a story can be daunting, but you don't need to invent a structure from scratch. Instead, work from tried-and-true templates. You can tell your story chronologically, or from two perspectives, or even start at the end and jump back in time to explain how we got there.
Always Think about Your Audience. Keeping your audience at the forefront of your mind when telling stories will guide you toward more meaningful tales and will also help you figure out what to include in your story (and what to leave out).
Tap into the power of archetypes. There's a reason that humans have been telling the same kinds of stories for millennia: Familiar characters have a deep pull on our psyche. If you're telling stories about large, abstract ideas, you don't need to reinvent the wheel. Instead, try finding an archetype (the hero, the trickster) to build a story on.
Whether you want to tell great stories yourself, or simply want an insider's look at how great stories come into being, The Power of Storytelling with Ari Shapiro is an engaging, insightful, and unforgettable learning experience.

Description
The United States has a long history of immigration, shaping its cultural, economic, and demographic landscape. Immigration to the U.S. has occurred in various waves, driven by diverse factors including political unrest, economic opportunities, and social conditions in different parts of the world. The early phases of U.S. immigration were largely unrestricted, with millions of people arriving from Europe in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This was a time of significant industrial growth, and immigrants provided much of the labor needed to expand the country's infrastructure and economy.However, as immigration increased, so did concerns over its impact on American society. In response, the U.S. began to impose regulations and restrictions. The Immigration Act of 1924 introduced quotas that limited immigration from certain regions, particularly targeting Asian and Southern European countries. These laws reflected broader anxieties about preserving national identity and concerns about labor competition. Over time, these restrictions evolved, and with the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, the U.S. removed quotas based on national origin, opening the doors for immigrants from Asia, Latin America, and Africa.Today, U.S. immigration policies remain a subject of political debate, particularly concerning issues like undocumented immigration, refugee admissions, and border security. The country continues to attract people from around the world, drawn by its promise of economic opportunity, education, and personal freedom. Despite the controversies surrounding immigration, it remains a vital part of the U.S.'s identity and growth, influencing everything from its labor force to its cultural diversity. As the global landscape shifts, U.S. immigration policy continues to adapt, reflecting both domestic needs and international pressures.

TTC - The History of the United States Navy
Released 8/2023
MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch
Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 24 Lessons (12h 43m) | Size: 10.2 GB

From its inception, the United States has been a maritime nation. Ever since the first use of sea power during the American Revolution, the growth, the trajectory, and the international standing of the United States has been deeply tied to its maritime role and its naval forces

The United States Navy has played a vital role both in resolving conflicts and in peacekeeping, spanning the entire history of the United States-from subduing piracy in the 18th century to action in the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, two World Wars, and the Vietnam War, as well as more recent international crises, and its longstanding work in ensuring maritime freedom across the globe.

Today, the US Navy, the world's most powerful naval force, remains a critical tool of American foreign policy, and a key player in preserving geopolitical stability throughout the world, as well as maintaining the security of the United States and its allies.

For these reasons and more, the story of the United States Navy offers essential perspectives on how the United States came to be, the unfolding of its history, the experiment of American democracy, and the nation's transformation into a global superpower. Beyond all of this, the history of the US Navy is a spellbinding and deeply poignant human story-a chronicle of extraordinary commitment, ingenuity, valor, sacrifice, and patriotism, spanning the 250 years of its existence.

In The History of the United States Navy, you'll relive the extraordinary saga of America's naval forces, from the first naval shipbuilding on Lake Champlain in 1775 to the present age of nuclear-armed submarines. These 24 lectures unfurl a huge and multifaceted historical narrative, following the emergence of the US Navy from a fledgling naval force to the greatest maritime power in world history, unfolding over four centuries and mirroring the rise and development of the United States. Your guide is Professor Craig L. Symonds of the US Naval Academy, a celebrated maritime historian and favorite Great Courses lecturer, who brings to the table an astonishingly detailed and far-reaching knowledge of US naval history, coupled with a flair for engrossing storytelling.

An Epic Story of Enterprise and Endurance

Among many noteworthy features of US naval history, you'll discover that

By the 1830s, the US Navy had forged a global presence, through standing naval squadrons in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, the coasts of Africa and Brazil, and the East Indies;
In its first decades, the US Navy endured tremendous controversy over its very existence, by "navalist" versus "anti-navalist" factions within the United States;
The submarine, now a core element of naval forces worldwide, was developed by the Confederate states during the Civil War;
A US naval fleet commanded by Commodore Matthew C. Perry opened Japan to trade with the West in 1853, ending centuries of Japanese isolationism; and
In the Second World War, the US Navy grew to the almost unimaginable size of 6,000+ warships, mounting massive naval campaigns simultaneously on opposite sides of the world, and playing a vital role in the Allied victory.
Across the course, you'll follow the evolution of naval technology, from the Age of Sail to the nuclear era. You'll observe how naval warfare changed with the technology and the times. And you'll witness how pivotal US naval engagements were fought, in moments such as the battle of Manila Bay in the Spanish-American War, the monumental World War II battle of Saipan, and the game-changing assault on Incheon in the Korean War.

Professor Symonds brings memorable depth and perspective to the story through compelling commentary on the Navy's tragedies, as well as its triumphs; key naval reforms; and blemishes on the Navy's record, such as racial and gender discrimination. The result is a rich and multidimensional panorama of naval history, profiling the US Navy's integral role in the nation's unfolding.

Landmarks of Naval Technology, Strategy, and Engagement

Ranging across the centuries, the lectures present an in-depth view of the operations of the Navy, encompassing subject matter such as

American Sea Power and Firepower. As a key feature of the story, track the unfolding development of the warships and armaments which defined naval warfare in each era, from the 18th century "ships of the line" and frigates and the 19th century's ironclads, steam warships, and battleships to the destroyers, aircraft carriers, submarines, and nuclear-powered vessels of modern times.
A New Nation on the High Seas. Early in the course, visualize the colorful and dramatic exploits of the young US Navy as it established global reach; study the events of the Navy's actions against piracy in Algiers and Tripoli and the "Quasi war" against France in the Caribbean; and chart the Navy's great expedition circumnavigating the globe from 1838 to 1842, in search of new land masses, fauna, and flora.
Naval Conquests of the Civil War. Delve into significant naval advances and engagements during this historic conflict, including the advent of ironclad and steam-powered warships, as well as major new weaponry; study the famous battle of the USS Monitor and the USS Merrimack, the first ironclads; US naval action against Confederate river defenses; and major naval campaigns at Charleston, South Carolina, and other strategic Confederate forts.
The 19th Century: On the World Stage. Witness the transformation of the US Navy in the late 19th century-its modernization and major expansion as a crisis-ready standing fleet. See how the US Navy emerged as a global naval power during the Spanish-American War; mark the age of the battleship as the premier naval warship; and gauge the Navy's role in American diplomacy in the midst of a worldwide naval arms race.
The US Navy in World War II. Across four lectures, survey the massive role of the US Navy in the Second World War. Take the measure of aircraft carrier warfare, which dominated the Navy's wartime operations; study the major Allied effort to safeguard Britain's maritime supply lines, and the Navy's large-scale amphibious operations in Europe and Asia; and along the way, envision the events of the legendary battles of Midway, Guadalcanal, and D-Day.
The Cold War and Vietnam. With the advent of the Cold War, take account of sweeping changes in the Navy's work, reflecting a new geopolitical climate. Chart the Navy's integral work in nuclear deterrence, through its submarine forces. Study the role of the Navy and Marines in the Korean conflict. Study the Navy's response to political crises in the Mediterranean, Asia, and Cuba, and its critical operations throughout the Vietnam War.
The Navy in Today's World. Over recent decades, study the Navy's spectrum of operations within a precarious political environment. Delve into key naval incidents in the Middle East and the Navy's actions in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Learn about its core peacetime work in combatting piracy and the drug trade, providing humanitarian aid, safeguarding endangered ships, and more.

A Force to Reckon With

The course concludes with a penetrating look at China's current naval buildup and the issues and frictions that characterize China's territorial claims to Taiwan and other islands within Asian waters. Professor Symonds incisively highlights the perils the US Navy faces in its current roles and the challenges of administering great naval power in the contemporary world.

You'll also keep track of the extraordinary technology that undergirds the Navy's work in the modern era, such as highly sophisticated "smart bombs" and missiles; the "C-wiz," a shipboard missile defense system; and the nuclear-powered USS Gerald R. Ford, the largest warship ever built.

Brimming with historical detail and compelling insights, the 24 lectures of The History of the United States Navy offer you an unforgettable view into a core element of American history and experience.

What Will You Learn?
Learn the US Navy's history, from its inception to its emergence as a global naval power

Track the development of the warships and armaments that defined naval warfare in each era

"Theories of everything" go back to the ancient Greeks and their idea that indivisible atoms are the building blocks of reality. This conjecture grew into modern atomic theory, which has been perfected by relativity theory and quantum theory. But there's never been anything like string theory. Designed to describe the universe at the largest and smallest scales, string theory is the most ambitious and far-reaching theory of everything yet devised, leading to intriguing speculations, such as

Strings, Not Particles: In string theory, the fundamental units of matter and energy are inconceivably tiny strings, not point-like particles as in conventional theories. The advantage is a wide range of different modes that can represent diverse phenomena.
Extra Dimensions: Strings can't do their job without existing in a multitude of dimensions-10 according to the standard version of the theory. Why don't we perceive these extra dimensions? They are "compactified" and thus invisible at our human scale.
Multiple Universes: The versatility of string theory allows for different laws of physics that may have developed in separate regions of the rapidly expanding universe in the moments after the Big Bang. We might live in one isolated bubble of this multiverse.
For all of its amazing insights, string theory is, so far, unproven-and some critics claim that it is unprovable. Yet it has already led to breakthroughs in our understanding of black holes, the Big Bang, cosmic inflation, and dark energy, not to mention gravity and the other fundamental forces. In The Mind-Bending Physics of String Theory, noted string theorist Professor Shamit Kachru of the Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics takes you deep into this fascinating subject in 12 lectures that are rich in mathematical concepts without requiring a background in higher math.

Spanning the multi-decade origin and evolution of string theory, Professor Kachru provides an up-to-date survey of modern theoretical physics and its astonishing power to uncover the most profound secrets of nature.

Solving the Mystery of Gravity

One of those profound secrets is the long-sought connection between gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. The last three are far stronger than gravity, but operate primarily in the subatomic region. They are perfectly described by quantum mechanics. Meanwhile, gravity is the outlier, involving enormous masses like stars and planets that extend their pull across vast reaches of space. Gravity is vanishingly weak at the quantum scale and can't be explained by standard quantum theory.

String theory aims to unite these fundamental forces to forge a single, comprehensive theory that can simultaneously explain the physics of the subatomic and cosmic realms. Such a breakthrough would marry quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of gravity, known as general relativity-a match that has so far challenged the most brilliant minds in physics.

In The Mind-Bending Physics of String Theory, you investigate how string theory may be able to accomplish this and other feats. Some of the exotic concepts you explore include

Planck Length: Quantum mechanics and general relativity converge at the smallest possible distance, called the Planck length, which is more than a billion, billion times smaller than the diameter of a proton. This is the characteristic length of strings.
Supersymmetry: One way to make the tricky math of string theory work out is to double the number of particles it has to explain! This may sound counterintuitive, but Dr. Kachru shows how a principle called supersymmetry makes the numbers compute like magic.
Duality: Another problem is the multitude of string theories with markedly different parameters. However, on analysis, many turn out to be mathematically the same-a property called duality. Entirely new, more powerful string theories emerge from this process.

Venture across Time, Space, and Unseen Dimensions

As director of one of the world's premier programs in theoretical physics, Dr. Kachru is in the vanguard of research on string theory. No comparable lecture series for a general audience goes into the detail he presents in this course, profusely illustrated with animations and graphics. String theory is complicated, and he doesn't pretend otherwise. However, even scientists simplify their subject to make calculations more manageable, as you learn through a stratagem called the "spherical cow." This is a widespread practice in theoretical physics that removes complexities to streamline a problem-as if a farmer ignored the appendages on his herd of cattle to get a rough-and-ready estimate of the space needed for a barn.

Dr. Kachru uses supersymmetry as a spherical cow, discounting the fact that the symmetry between particle types cannot be perfect in the real world. Following this approach, he leads you through a breathtaking landscape, featuring

Branes: Short for "membranes," these are surfaces on which strings can attach, giving rise to different particles and properties. Although represented in two dimensions, they can exist as p-branes in higher dimensions, where "p" is the number of dimensions.
Compactification: Imagine a one-dimensional line, enlarged to reveal a hidden dimension, curled around like a tube. This extra dimension has been "compactified." In string theory, the geometry of compactification can get quite complicated!
Calabi-Yau Manifolds: The extra dimensions in 10-dimensional string theory (six plus the four familiar dimensions of space and time) can be compactified in a class of complex geometric shapes called Calabi-Yau manifolds, which lead to a host of subatomic phenomena.
Equipped with these concepts, you venture across time, space, and unseen dimensions. You explore the Big Bang, the dazzlingly brief era of cosmic inflation, the profound mystery of dark energy, the enigma black holes, the conundrum of quantum gravity, the unification of the four fundamental forces, and much more-everything really, for The Mind-Bending Physics of String Theory is your introduction to a set of ideas that may be, at long last, the theory of everything.

What Will You Learn?
Learn why many physicists believe that tiny strings, not particles, are the bedrock of matter and energy

Discover why string theory requires extra dimensions-a total of 10 according to the standard version

Probe the connection between string theory and black holes, the Big Bang, and cosmic inflation

See how string theory unites gravity and the other fundamental forces into a "theory of everything"

TTC - The Power of Mathematical Visualization
Last updated 12/2023
MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch
Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 24 Lessons ( 12h 22m ) | Size: 10.3 GB

Many people believe they simply aren't good at math-that their brains aren't wired to think mathematically. But just as there are multiple paths to mastering the arts and humanities, there are also alternate approaches to understanding mathematics. One of the most effective methods by far is visualization. If a picture speaks a thousand words, then in mathematics a picture can spawn a thousand ideas.

The Power of Mathematical Visualization teaches you these vital problem-solving skills in a math course unlike any you've ever taken. Taught by award-winning Professor James S. Tanton of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), these 24 half-hour lectures cover topics in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, number theory, probability, statistics, topology, and other fields-all united by fascinating connections that you literally see in graphics and projects designed by Professor Tanton. In demand worldwide for his teacher and student workshops, Dr. Tanton is MAA's Mathematician-at-Large-a globe-trotting advocate for teaching math "with beauty and joy and wonder and humanness," as he was recently quoted in The New Yorker magazine.

As an example of Dr. Tanton's approach, see the many applications of a simple game called dots-and-boxes, which is the gateway to a universe of mathematical concepts and operations- some of which might seem quite unrelated

Long division: Elementary college students typically learn a traditional method of long division that works but can seem abstract. By contrast, the dots-and-boxes approach is more intuitive and actually explains why the traditional method works.
Binary arithmetic: The binary base system uses only 1's and 0's, which is how computers calculate with on/off switches. The game of dots-and-boxes makes arithmetic in binary and any other base system child's play-even for fractional bases.
Polynomials: The study of polynomials in algebra is, astoundingly, mostly a repeat of grade-college arithmetic, done in base x rather than base 10. Dots-and-boxes comes to the rescue for intimidating-looking polynomial problems, and even for dividing polynomials.
Decimals: With dots-and-boxes, you can demonstrate that every fraction has an infinitely long decimal expansion with a repeating pattern. For example, 1/3 = 0.33333.; 1/4 = 0.25000. (the repeating pattern is zero); and 13/99 = 0.131313..
And that's just the beginning. Once your mind is attuned to think about mathematical relationships in terms of visual models such as dots-and-boxes, the insights start to pile up. That's when you are truly doing mathematics-not just mechanically following an algorithm or formula you memorized in college. Visual thinking lets you see the logical steps that lead to an answer and grasp the solution that must be true.

Throughout the course, Dr. Tanton often adjourns to his tabletop lab to illustrate mathematical ideas with activities that you can try at home, involving poker chips, marbles, strips of paper, and other props. Some seem positively magical, like the miraculous division of a pile of jelly beans in the last lecture, where your method is inspired by a simple folding pattern.

Do Math the Way the Pros Do

Visual thinking is not a trick or a crutch designed for beginners; it is a key technique often employed by professional mathematicians to achieve brilliant insights, forge new paths of discovery, and find deeper connections in the world of mathematics. For this reason, The Power of Mathematical Visualization is suitable for a wide audience, including

math students at every level, who want to survey the subject from the refreshing heights of the visual perspective;
puzzle and math aficionados, who love the creative side of mathematics and the opportunity for endless exploration;
math teachers, who want an idea-filled 12-hour demonstration of joyous and effective teaching; and
parents, who can best help their children with math homework by fostering a playful, enquiring attitude-just like Dr. Tanton's.
You start the course with pictures that go with grade-college arithmetic. As you study them, you see how they are springboards to more advanced ideas. For instance, visual thinking about multiplication can make perfect sense of why negative times negative is positive. Then you venture deeper, seeing how pictures that help you keep track of combinations of objects lead to Pascal's triangle and from there to the concept of structure in randomness. And simple exercises in folding paper end up with exquisite fractal images and the consideration of a truly astronomical problem.

Next, the famous Fibonacci numbers come into focus thanks to a visual model that is a well-kept secret. You also learn how symmetry can save the day with quadratic equations. You play with balance points in statistics and the idea of a fixed point in a stirred cup of coffee. And there's more!

Life Lessons from Math

Dr. Tanton is a charming teacher who makes math both easy and enjoyable with his playful approach. As you might expect from the winner of Raytheon's Math Hero Award (plus other prizes) and the author of acclaimed books on the delights of math, he has plenty of problem-solving tips, among them

Make it happen: "If there's something in life you want," he says more than once, "then make it happen!" If an additional five on the left side of an equation makes the calculation easier, just tack it on-along with five on the right side to keep things balanced.
Take an easier way out: Instead of learning formulas and procedures by rote, simply follow your nose and common sense. Once you discover the deeper reason for a rule, such as the quadratic formula in algebra, then you won't need to memorize anything.
Don't stop: Nothing in mathematics leads to just one place. Think of a mathematical picture as a doorway to many destinations. One of the big lessons from this course is that an image can be interpreted in multiple ways, which is a powerful technique in mathematics.
Mull it over: When perplexed, don't be intimidated. Do a lot of staring and ,.ng. Play with the problem. Then take a break. Go for a walk. More often than not, your brain will surprise you! This is actually a good approach to many of life's muddles.
,.ng comes naturally to Professor Tanton. As a research mathematician, he can't help sharing a recent discovery he made by contemplating a simple diagram related to the Fibonacci series, turning it over and over in his mind. In Lecture 18, he walks you through the result, which is the world premiere of a brand new theorem. He discusses it exactly as he would with his colleagues over dinner-with barely contained excitement that you will find infectious.

Discover the advantages of seeing math from an entirely new angle, guided by a brilliant and engaging teacher in The Power of Mathematical Visualization.

What Will You Learn?
A new, visual way to think about math.

How similar patterns hold the key to astounding feats of mental calculation.

A completely new way to multiply that is graphical.

The world premiere of Professor Tanton's amazing Fibonacci theorem.

TTC - The Many Hidden Worlds of Quantum Mechanics
Released 11/2023
MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch
Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 24 Lessons ( 11h 56m ) | Size: 9.99 GB

Modern physics is filled with ideas that defy common sense, but, nonetheless, have a strong claim to be true. A prime example is Einstein's twin paradox, about identical twins who age at markedly different rates if one takes a trip at near-light speed. Another is Erwin Schrödinger's thought experiment involving a cat that is arguably both dead and alive due to a fundamental feature of quantum mechanics.

But no theory strains credulity like "Many-Worlds," the proposal that we experience only one branch of possibly infinite realities, which sprout like the limbs on a tree, splitting into numberless parallel universes-all of which are equally real. Officially called the Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics, this seemingly absurd idea may be what's really going on in our multiverse.

In The Many Hidden Worlds of Quantum Mechanics, noted theoretical physicist, philosopher, and popular author, Professor Sean Carroll of Johns Hopkins University makes an eloquent case that Many-Worlds is the framework that best explains quantum mechanics, which is the science of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic scales. In 24 accessible and fascinating lectures, he guides you through the history, reasoning, and implications of this bold conjecture. Professor Carroll also covers alternate theories to Many-Worlds and unresolved questions in fundamental physics, making this course a fascinating window into the current state of this exciting field.

Not as Bizarre as It Sounds

How off-the-wall is Many-Worlds? Consider these consequences of the theory

Multiverse: Innumerable universes exist simultaneously, and the number is growing exponentially. These universes don't have a location in space, but space exists inside each, just as in our own universe.
No Contact: There is no way to travel to these other universes, nor can any signals pass between them. They are isolated and unknowable-yet the simplest version of quantum theory predicts that they exist.
Duplicates: Countless versions of you exist in these parallel universes. At least, they are you in the sense that each of you shares the same past. However, each version of you is a different person who will experience a unique future.
These claims may sound like science fiction, but there are good reasons to believe them. The Many Hidden Worlds of Quantum Mechanics takes you step by step through the observations, arguments, and counter arguments that first built quantum theory, and then led a group of thinkers inexorably to the Many-Worlds hypothesis. Many-Worlds is by no means the conventional interpretation of quantum mechanics. But as Professor Carroll shows, the extra worlds almost miraculously emerge from the standard equation-whether anyone wants them to or not.

The Birth of Many-Worlds

Many-Worlds is a response to the "Copenhagen Interpretation" of quantum mechanics, named for the city where its principal proponent, Niels Bohr, had his famous research lab in the early 20th century. Designed to account for the strange phenomena observed at the quantum scale, the Copenhagen Interpretation holds that quantum particles or waves exist in multiple states at the same time, as described by the wave function. This wave function is governed by the Schrödinger equation and encompasses all possible quantum states for a system. Upon measurement, the system assumes a definite state, an event that Bohr and his colleagues termed the "wave function collapse." According to the Copenhagen Interpretation, these multiple states are real physical possibilities that become definite only at the moment of measurement.

In the 1950s, physicist Hugh Everett objected that the wave function collapse was an ad hoc addition to the mathematically elegant Schrödinger equation. Instead, he proposed that the collapse is only apparent, and that we should stick to what the equation tells us: that all possible outcomes continue to evolve in parallel, leading to a branching structure of many non-interacting universes.

Mysteries Solved?

The beauty of Many-Worlds is that it resolves several long-standing paradoxes that have given quantum mechanics its reputation as a theory that not even physicists fully understand. Among these are

"Spooky Action at a Distance": This was Einstein's term for quantum interactions that appear to take place faster than the speed of light, due to the instantaneous collapse of the wave function.
Schrödinger's Cat: This thought experiment describes the puzzling state of a cat before the collapse of a wave function that will decide whether it is alive or dead due to the random release of poison.
The Observer Problem: In the Copenhagen Interpretation, the mere act of observing instantly collapses the wave function, making a macroscopic world of human thought and action a decisive part of a quantum system.
In each example, Many-Worlds sidesteps these problems by postulating that all possible outcomes take place in separate realities. In the case of "spooky action at a distance," the consequences of the quantum interaction appear in different universes; therefore, no signal can pass between them, and no faster-than-light travel is involved. For Schrödinger's cat, it is alive in one universe and deceased in another. And in the observer problem, there is no special role for observers since all outcomes occur.

Physics Has Surprised Us Before

Not surprisingly, many scientists are unsettled by the Many-Worlds approach and have come up with rival theories that deal with the problems of the Copenhagen Interpretation without invoking multiple realities. Professor Carroll introduces a number of these proposals, discussing their strengths while noting that none is as mathematically simple as Many-Worlds. They include

Hidden Variables: Pioneered by French physicist Louis de Broglie and American physicist David Bohm, this class of theories adds new variables in addition to the wave function to make it deterministic and to remove the mystery of the Copenhagen model.
GRW: Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber theory (GRW) endorses the reality of the wave function collapse but makes it spontaneous and random rather than due to the act of measurement. It involves modifying the usual equation obeyed by the wave function.
QBism: Standing for Quantum Bayesianism, this view uses Bayesian reasoning to make probabilistic predictions about quantum experiments. Its proponents criticize other approaches for objectifying the quantum state, which QBism does not.
And looming over all the lectures is classical physics, the project energized by Isaac Newton in the 17th century, and which reached an unexpected hurdle at the beginning of the 20th century, to be supplanted by quantum theory. The Copenhagen Interpretation then reigned as the most influential view of quantum phenomena for many decades. Its critics have responded with counter proposals, seeking a breakthrough idea to explain the baffling quantum world.

The Many Hidden Worlds of Quantum Mechanics focuses on one of the most spectacular of these proposals. Professor Carroll is at pains to be open-minded, questioning, and skeptical, while marshalling powerful arguments that Many-Worlds-a theory that almost defies belief -should be believed. It wouldn't be the first time that physics has surprised us.

TTC - The Life and Works of Jane Austen

Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 24 Lessons ( 11h 26m ) | Size: 9.6 GB


[center]
In 1811, a novel was published anonymously, by an author identified as "A Lady." It did moderately well for a book of that kind. Little did anyone suspect that this novel would be the start of a literary legacy that would grow over the course of two centuries and cement its author as one of the greatest novelists in the English language.

[/center]
The novel was Sense and Sensibility, and the unnamed "Lady" was Jane Austen. Born to the ranks of the lower gentry in 1775, Austen led what some have mistakenly described as an ordinary and unremarkable life-a life that ended too early, at the age of 41. But from this life, Austen drew inspiration for six novels that all rank as literary masterpieces, including the widely beloved Pride and Prejudice. So, what do we really know about Austen's life and influences? What can a better understanding of her historical, cultural, and literary context tell us about how her brilliant work came to rank alongside Shakespeare, Eliot, and Dickens in the pantheon of revered British writers? Why does her work continue to resonate with readers from all walks of life and to inspire theater, film, television, and literary adaptations? Why do her deeply devoted fans continue to make pilgrimages to her home and celebrate her life 200 years after her death?

With Professor Devoney Looser of Arizona State University, you will delve into Austen's everyday realities in the elegant and tumultuous Regency period and emerge with a more thorough understanding of her influence and lasting legacy. Over the course of the 24 lessons of The Life and Works of Jane Austen, you will explore her six completed works, as well as her raucous teenage writings and unfinished novels. You will also get a guided tour of Austen's world-the politics, social dynamics, major events, cultural markers, and class structures that defined the late 18th and early 19th centuries in Great Britain and how these elements shaped her life and inspired her work. While a certain amount of mystery about Austen's life will always exist, this course offers a fuller understanding of her world and how she brilliantly captured it on the page.

A Truth Universally Acknowledged

Jane Austen's books were published in the relatively brief period known as the Regency. In order to really understand and appreciate the nuances of novels like Sense and Sensibility and Mansfield Park, it's necessary to grasp the unique historical and social context of this fascinating period. Throughout the course, you will learn about the individual, cultural, and economic dimensions of the Regency, such as

Marriage. Austen's plots revolve around the marriages of her heroines because marriage was the only tool that many educated women had at their disposal for financial security and personal comfort. Love matches and companionate marriage were becoming the norm in Austen's day, though matrimony was still very much a practical, social, and economic concern for people of all classes.
Social Hierarchy. Understanding the subtleties of social class and the finer points of interpersonal relationships in the Regency is vital to a thorough appreciation of how Austen's characters interact with one another and participate in their tight-knit communities. And Austen's razor-sharp humor relies on an understanding of subtle (and not-so-subtle) social cues of the time.
Money and Ownership. Many of Austen's characters openly discuss the incomes of perfect strangers, something that may seem odd to modern readers. But money, ownership, and inheritance were determining factors not just in terms of social class, but they also played a crucial role in courtship and relationships. Many of Austen's plots center on heroines whose lack of access to wealth or property dramatically affects the ways they are able to participate in the world.
Politics. Austen's considerations of the political upheavals of her time are filtered through the lens of everyday life. As the sister of naval officers who saw action during the Napoleonic Wars, and as the youngest daughter of a clergyman of limited means, Austen was profoundly aware of current events. Her fiction reflects this through her characters' experiences, in techniques that are, by turns, subtle and overt.
The insight Professor Looser provides into these contexts should enhance your experience of Jane Austen's novels, as well as expand your ability to understand and appreciate the literature, history, and social dimensions of the late 18th and early 19th centuries more broadly.

Two Inches of Ivory

In a letter to her niece, Jane Austen offered the writing advice that "three or four families in a country village is the very thing to work on." This small, domestic scale defined the parameters of Austen's work and reflected part of her own reality. Yet within this workspace-what she once referred to as "two inches of ivory, on which I work with so fine a brush"-Austen captured a broad range of experience through her heroines and her cast of vividly realized characters.

The Regency setting and close, personal scope of her stories have fooled many a would-be reader into believing that Austen wrote sedate, ladylike romances centered on the marriages at the end of her novels. But what often goes overlooked is Austen's comedy-her sharp, satirical eye picks apart the highly stratified society she so sharply observes. Even her most ridiculous characters still read as true to life today. As you will see in Austen's letters, her biting critique of the rakes, snobs, and fools that populate her fiction were fodder for gossip and ridicule in her own life as well.

And although some critics have argued that Austen conspicuously left some of the most pressing events and issues of her day out of her fiction, you will discover how often these inescapable realities affected her life and did, in fact, find their way into her work. Whether she was touching obliquely on something as serious as the impact of the Napoleonic Wars in Pride and Prejudice and in Persuasion, or more directly-and lovingly-poking fun at the popular fiction of the day in Northanger Abbey, Austen's fiction is deeply informed by her own experiences and world events.

Austen's work was shaped profoundly by the world she lived in. The Life and Works of Jane Austen offers you the chance to explore this world and to see how the novels Austen published over two centuries ago continue to engage and entertain readers, and to influence popular culture through countless adaptations on page and screen. Whether you are a fan, a casual reader, or even someone who has always been a little confused by "Austenmania," this course will illuminate the worlds, both real and imagined, of Austen's astonishing contributions to literature.

Mathematics is filled with beautiful theorems that are as breathtaking as the most celebrated works of art, literature, or music

[/center]
Mathematics is filled with beautiful theorems that are as breathtaking as the most celebrated works of art, literature, or music. They are the Mona Lisas, Hamlets, and Fifth Symphonys of the field-landmark achievements that repay endless study and that are the work of geniuses as fascinating as Leonardo, Shakespeare, and Beethoven. Here is a sample

Pythagorean theorem: Although he didn't discover the Pythagorean theorem about a remarkable property of right triangles, the Greek mathematician Euclid devised an ingenious proof that is a mathematical masterpiece. Plus, it's beautiful to look at!
Area of a circle: The formula for the area of a circle, A = π r2, was deduced in a marvelous chain of reasoning by the Greek thinker Archimedes. His argument relied on the clever tactic of proof by contradiction not once, but twice.
Basel problem: The Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler won his reputation in the early 1700s by evaluating an infinite series that had stumped the best mathematical minds for a generation. The solution was delightfully simple; the path to it, bewilderingly complex.
Larger infinities: In the late 1800s, the German mathematician Georg Cantor blazed the trail into the "transfinite" by proving that some infinite sets are bigger than others, thereby opening a strange new realm of mathematics.
You can savor these results and many more in Great Thinkers, Great Theorems, 24 half-hour lectures that conduct you through more than 3,000 years of beautiful mathematics, telling the story of the growth of the field through a carefully chosen selection of its most awe-inspiring theorems.

Approaching great theorems the way an art course approaches great works of art, the course opens your mind to new levels of math appreciation. And it requires no more than a grasp of high college mathematics, although it will delight mathematicians of all abilities.

Your guide on this lavishly illustrated tour, which features detailed graphics walking you through every step of every proof, is Professor William Dunham of Muhlenberg College, an award-winning teacher who has developed an artist's eye for conveying the essence of a mathematical idea. Through his enthusiasm for brilliant strategies, novel tactics, and other hallmarks of great theorems, you learn how mathematicians think and what they mean by "beauty" in their work. As added enrichment, the course guidebook has supplementary questions and problems that allow you to go deeper into the ideas behind the theorems.

An Innovative Approach to Mathematics

Professor Dunham has been taking this innovative approach to mathematics for over a quarter-century-in the classroom and in his popular books. With Great Thinkers, Great Theorems you get to watch him bring this subject to life in stimulating lectures that combine history, biography, and, above all, theorems, presented as a series of intellectual adventures that have built mathematics into the powerful tool of analysis and understanding that it is today.

In the arts, a great masterpiece can transform a genre; think of Claude Monet's 1872 canvas Impression, Sunrise, which gave the name to the Impressionist movement and revolutionized painting. The same is true in mathematics, with the difference that the revolution is permanent. Once a theorem has been established, it is true forever; it never goes out of style. Therefore the great theorems of the past are as fresh and impressive today as on the day they were first proved.

What Makes a Theorem Great?

A theorem is a mathematical proposition backed by a rigorous chain of reasoning, called a proof, that shows it is indisputably true. As for greatness, Professor Dunham believes the defining qualities of a great theorem are elegance and surprise, exemplified by these cases

Elegance: Euclid has a beautifully simple way of showing that any finite collection of prime numbers can't be complete-that there is always at least one prime number left out, proving that the prime numbers are infinite. Dr. Dunham calls this one of the greatest proofs in all of mathematics.
Surprise: Another Greek, Heron, devised a formula for triangular area that is so odd that it looks like it must be wrong. "It's my favorite result from geometry just because it's so implausible," says Dr. Dunham, who shows how, 16 centuries later, Isaac Newton used algebra in an equally surprising route to the same result.
Great Thinkers, Great Theorems includes many lectures that are devoted to a single theorem. In these, Professor Dunham breaks the proof into manageable pieces so that you can follow it in detail. When you get to the Q.E.D.-the initials traditionally ending a proof, signaling quod erat demonstrandum (Latin for "that which was to be demonstrated")-you can step back and take in the masterpiece as a whole, just as you would with a painting in a museum.

In other lectures, you focus on the biographies of the mathematicians behind these masterpieces-geniuses who led eventful, eccentric, and sometimes tragic lives. For example

Cardano: Perhaps the most bizarre mathematician who ever lived, the 16th-century Italian Gerolamo Cardano was a gambler, astrologer, papal physician, convicted heretic, and the first to publish the solution of cubic and quartic algebraic equations, which he did after a no-holds-barred competition with rival mathematicians.
Newton and Leibniz: The battle over who invented calculus, the most important mathematical discovery since ancient times, pitted Isaac Newton-mathematician, astronomer, alchemist-against Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz- mathematician, philosopher, diplomat. Each believed the other was trying to steal the credit.
Euler: The most inspirational story in the history of mathematics belongs to Leonhard Euler, whose astonishing output barely slowed down after he went blind in 1771. Like Beethoven, who composed some of his greatest music after going deaf, Euler was able to practice his art entirely in his head.
Cantor: While Vincent van Gogh was painting pioneering works of modern art in France in the late 1800s, Georg Cantor was laying the foundations for modern mathematics next door in Germany. Unappreciated at first, the two rebels even looked alike, and both suffered debilitating bouts of depression.
Describing a common reaction to the theorems produced by these great thinkers, Professor Dunham says his students often want to know where the breakthrough ideas came from: How did the mathematicians do it? The question defies analysis, he says. "It's like asking: 'Why did Shakespeare put the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet? What made him think of it?' Well, he was Shakespeare. This is what genius looks like!" And by watching the lectures in Great Thinkers, Great Theorems, you will see what equivalent genius looks like in mathematics.

Description
This course is All Things Spring!Do you wish to master Spring Framework 6 and Spring Boot 3? Then this is the course for you. This course is for developers with no previous Spring Framework or Spring Boot experience. You will master developing RESTful APIs with Spring Framework. Spring has three different options of creating RESTFul APIs: Spring MVC, Spring WebFlux, and Spring WebFlux.fn. You will see how to use each, and how to secure each using OAuth 2.0 with JWT. Also covered in the course are popular persistence technologies. You will learn to use Spring Data JPA with Hibernate, Spring Data MongoDB, and Reactive with Spring R2DBC.All examples in the course use Java 21 and Spring Boot 3.3.0.Inside this course, you will learn about:Build a Spring Boot Web AppUse Spring for Dependency InjectionCreate RESTful Web Services with Spring MVCCreate RESTful Web Services with Spring WebfluxCreate RESTful Web Services with Spring Webflux.fnLearn Best Practices using Project Lombok with SpringCreate MapStruct Mappers as Spring ComponentsSpring MockMVC with Mockito and JUnit 5Spring Data JPASpring Data MongoDBSpring Data R2DBC (Reactive)Spring RestTemplateSpring RestClientSpring WebClientSpring WebTestClientSpring Security HTTP Basic Authentication Spring Security OAuth2 Authentication w/ JWTSpring Authorization ServerSpring WebMVC OAuth2 Resource Server Spring WebFlux OAuth2 Resource ServerSpring Cloud GatewaySpring Boot ActuatorSpring AISpring Caching Spring Boot Maven PluginSpring Boot Gradle PluginUse Java Bean Validation with SpringSpring Boot Auto-Configuration with MySQLUse Spring Boot and Flyway for Database Migrations Hibernate Database Relationship Mapping with Spring Data JPABuild Docker Images using Spring BootRun Spring Boot Applications in Docker ContainersUse Docker Compose to run Spring Boot ApplicationsDeploy Spring Boot Applications to KubernetesSpring AI - Learn to use OpenAI with Spring!This is the first major Spring course to include a section on Spring AI. You will learn how to leverage OpenAI's ChatGPT API using Spring AI.Course UpdatesApril 2024 - Introduction to Spring AI added to CourseMay 2024 - Course Updated to Java 21 and Spring Boot version 3.3.0May 2024 - Spring RestClient - NEW to Spring Framework 6.1June 2024 - Using Spring Boot with Docker, Docker Compose and Kubernetes Spring CoreAt the core of the Spring Framework is the Spring IoC Container. Inversion of Control is a design pattern where control is inverted compared to procedural programming. In procedural programming, the software calls reusable components to complete tasks. In contrast, with IoC it is the framework which calls the reusable libraries. Development with IoC becomes very efficient since the focus is more on the custom business logic and common logic is left to the framework to perform.Spring MVCSpringMVC is Spring Framework's original web application framework. Spring MVC implements the model-view-controller design pattern, where a model (data) is shared with with a controller which presents the data to the end user in the view (HTML, JSON, XML, etc). In this course you will learn how to develop RESTful APIs using Spring MVC. Spring WebfluxSpring Webflux was introduced to the Spring Framework in version 5. Spring Webflux is a reactive web application framework using non-blocking Java components for building efficient and scalable web applications. Like Spring MVC, Spring Webflux also implements the model-view-controller design pattern. Spring Webflux closely follows the familiar syntax of Spring MVC. In this course you will learn to use Spring Webflux to create modern RESTful APIs.Spring Webflux.fnSpring Webflux.fn was also introduced in Spring Framework version 5. Spring Webflux.fn follows a functional programming paradigm. Through the use of functional programming, you can rapidly develop API endpoints. In this course you will learn how to use the functional programming paradigm of Spring Webflux.fn to develop RESTful APIs.Spring DataSpring Data is a family of Spring Framework projects for persistence operations to SQL and NoSQL databases. The Spring Data projects implement the easy to use Repository Pattern to persist objects to the database. In this course you will see how to use Spring Data JPA for persistence with SQL databases, how to use Spring Data Mongo for persistence to the NoSQL Mongo Database, and how to use Spring Data R2DBC for reactive/non-blocking SQL database persistence. Spring SecuritySpring Security is commonly used to secure Spring Framework applications. You will see how simple it is to use Spring Security for HTTP Basic authentication. You will also learn how to use Spring Security with OAuth 2.0 authentication. Spring Authorization Server is a recent addition to the Spring Framework family of projects. Spring Authorization server is a lightweight alternative to other identity providers, such as Keycloak. You will learn to implement the OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials flow to obtain a JWT authorization token from the Spring Authorization Server and how to configure RESTful APIs in Spring MVC, Spring Webflux, and Spring Webflux.fn as OAuth 2 Resource Servers.Spring Rest ClientsSpring Framework 6 now has 3 different rest clients which may be used to interact with RESTful APIs. Spring RestTemplate was originally was introduced in Spring Framework version 3. You will learn to use Spring RestTemplate to authenticate with OAuth 2.0 and interact with RESTful APIs. Spring WebClient was introduced in Spring Framework version 5. Spring WebClient is a reactive/non-blocking rest client. Like Spring Webflux.fn, Spring WebClient uses an efficient fluent API. In this course you will learn to use Spring WebClient to authenticate with OAuth 2.0 and interact with RESTful APIs. Spring RestClient is the latest Rest Client for the Spring Framework. Spring RestClient was introduced to the Spring Framework with Spring Framework 6.1 in November of 2023. Spring RestClient uses the same synchronous libraries as Spring RestTemplate. But Spring RestClient uses the same functional API as Spring WebClient. You will learn to use Spring RestClient to authenticate with OAuth 2.0 and interact with RESTful APIs.Spring BootSpring Boot was added to the Spring Framework family of projects in 2014. Spring Boot brings sensible 'convention over configuration' to the Spring Framework. Spring Boot helps minimize configuration tasks by providing an opinionated configuration through the use of Spring Boot starters. For many 3rd party libraries, Spring Boot will automatically provide sensible defaults and configuration of components. Spring Boot also provides production-ready features such as metrics, health checks and externalized configuration.Docker with Spring BootA very common way to deploy Spring Boot applications is to use Docker containers. You will see how easy it is to use the Spring Boot Maven plugin to generate a Docker image for your application. Once the image is created, you can run the image in a Docker container. You will learn the Docker commands to start 5 different Spring Boot applications. Docker Compose with Spring BootDocker Compose is a tool for running multi-container applications. You will learn how to start the 5 Spring Boot Applications you build in this course, plus how to run MySQL and Mongo DB inside of a Docker network. Spring Cloud Gateway is used to control ingress to the RESTful Spring Boot services running in side the Docker network.Kubernetes with Spring BootKubernetes is a popular container orchestration platform. Originally developed by Google, Kubernetes is being adopted by companies all over the world. Using the same applications you learned to deploy with Docker and Docker Compose, you will learn how to deploy them in a Kubernetes context.

You may be familiar with the Christian saints St. Peter, to whom Jesus gave the keys to the kingdom in the Bible; St. Joan of Arc, who led France to victory in the Hundred Years War; and St. Thomas Aquinas, whose philosophy around faith and reason, the existence of God, and the nature of the soul is embedded deeply in Church theology today. There are a host of lesser-known saints, who've been immortalized for the miracles attributed to them and the struggles they endured, including Kateri Tekakwitha, Absalom Jones, Josephine Butler, and many others.

Have you ever wondered who these people were who were named as saints? Or how everyday people around the world have been canonized to sainthood? Who were they, what did they do, and why do they matter for Christianity today? Now, you have the opportunity to unpack these questions with The Surprising Lives of Christian Saints. Over the course of 24 in-depth lectures, Professor Emily Graham, an Associate Professor of History at Oklahoma State University, surveys the global history of Christian sainthood.

As you'll discover, the stories of Christian saints are not just fascinating, but they're also an integral part of Christian history. Through their lives, in particular moments of time, you can trace the historical context that shaped the Church over two millennia, meeting such figures as

Mary Magdalen, an early saint who's been interpreted and reinterpreted countless times over the years;
Perpetua and Felicity, mothers and martyrs in fourth-century Carthage;
Francis of Assisi, a homeless veteran known for ministering to the poor;
Elizabeth Ann Seton, an American convert, founder, and struggling mother; and
Andrei Rublev, an icon painter whose striking artwork married Byzantine and Russian influence.
What these saints have in common is that they were ordinary people who did extraordinary things, from negotiating political strife to championing the poor and the dispossessed. Filled with illuminating stories and a cast of unforgettable figures, The Surprising Lives of Christian Saints takes you on an enlightening journey through time, revealing the profound lives of individuals who've left an indelible mark on our world.

Embark on a Historical Tour

As Professor Graham takes you through the biographies of myriad saints, she also gives you a broader understanding of the historical and cultural context of the times in which these saints lived. She has carefully chosen to focus on saints whose lives are interesting in their own right, but who also reveal something about the history of the Church or civilization around the world.

Take, for instance, the life of Kateri Tekakwitha, a Mohawk native in what is now upstate New York. She is remembered today for her journey to join a new faith community led by Jesuit missionaries, and for her asceticism. A complicated figure who died young, Tekakwitha's life offers insights into the colonization of America.

Another powerful figure is Absalom Jones, a freed slave living in Philadelphia in the 19th-century. Jones was a venerated abolitionist, the first African American to be ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church, and a founder of one of first Black churches in the United States. His story offers a significant development in the Episcopal Church, but it's also inextricably linked to the history of America in the years before the Civil War.

Across the Atlantic, Josephine Butler's story also offers insights into the intersection of religious and political history. A Victorian feminist, Butler was a passionate advocate for women's rights in a society that provided little opportunity for women. Professor Graham walks you through Butler's politically charged, often sensational life.

Discover the Human behind the Halo

The word "saint" likely conjures up the image of an innocent do-gooder or an impossibly kind soul who smiles even under great persecution. While every saint you meet in this course certainly has done something "above and beyond," Professor Graham walks you through historical evidence to reveal the human behind the legend.

The lives of these saints represent an all too human experience. Consider Margaret of Cortona, a rebellious teenager who ran away to live with her wealthy boyfriend. But when her lover died, her fairytale existence came to an end, and she found herself to be a homeless single mother. You'll examine how she reinvented herself as a penitent and ultimately received holy visions from God.

Óscar Romero is perhaps best remembered for his dramatic assassination in 1980. His life of political struggle is quite understandable. You'll watch, for instance, as his family mortgages the farm during the Great Depression and he has to work his way into the seminary. The poverty and Cold War interventions in El Salvador inspired him to advocate for the rural poor, which ended up putting his name on government hit lists.

Margaret, Óscar, and the other saints you will study are complex figures. Beyond the virtue of loving one's neighbor, they faced flesh-and-blood challenges and lived "in the arena" of life. They spoke truth to power, fought for justice, and shined the light of salvation in what often were shadowy corners of the world.

Intellectually Fascinating, Spiritually Rewarding

Throughout this course, Professor Graham steps back to survey the bigger picture and asks: How does a person become canonized? From the early cults and legends of saints shrouded by the passage of time to the rigorous investigations of miracles in the 20th century, you'll see how Christianity has evolved over the centuries.

Additionally, you'll see how interpretations of people and events change as each new generation comes to its own understanding of Christianity and world history. Mary Magdalen offers an excellent case study for interpretation. On one hand, we have the figure presented to us in the Gospels (the biblical Magdalen), but medieval Europeans and then Reformation-era Protestants had radically different understandings of her. Which understanding is correct? And what does the historical evidence tell us?

The issue of interpretation is the most human of challenges. How are you meant to understand yourself? Your history? Or is it histories? Whether you're a history enthusiast, a devout Christian, or someone curious about sainthood, The Surprising Lives of Christian Saints is an extraordinary examination of the forces that have shaped our beliefs and our world.

TTC - The Power of Thought Experiments
Released 6/2023
MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch
Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 24 Lessons ( 11h 54m ) | Size: 9.9 GB

Have you ever wondered what it means to be immortal? Or how you would act in a life-or-death situation? Or what would happen if you could travel back in time?

If you've ever thought about questions like these, you're already familiar with the world of thought experiments. Thought experiments are "what if" scenarios-hypothetical situations that invite us to look rigorously at how we think and view the world.

In The Power of Thought Experiments, award-winning philosopher Daniel Breyer of Illinois State University takes you around the world and across intellectual traditions to explore the power of thought experiments-from ancient Greece and China to contemporary science and philosophy. The course invites you on a diverse intellectual journey that will challenge the way you think by asking you to consider thought experiments that range from the mundane to the fantastic, not just for fun, but always with a discerning eye for why great thinkers considered them and what insights they reveal.

Professor Breyer's engaging teaching style, eye-opening perspectives, and amazingly detailed knowledge of this field make the lectures a multifaceted immersion in a remarkable arena of human thought.

In 24 enthralling lectures, you'll match wits with ancient thinkers like Aristotle, Ibn Sina, and Zhuangzi, as well as modern thinkers like Galileo, Hobbes, and Leibniz, all the way up to an astonishing array of contemporary philosophers and scientists, in a far-reaching look into thought experiments across the ages.

And, critically, you won't simply learn about influential thought experiments throughout history, you'll work through them in your own thinking, question them, challenge them, and evaluate what power they have to expand our minds and inform our lives.

Historic Thought Experiments

Try this thought experiment, from philosopher Robert Nozick: You have the chance to plug in to a virtual reality machine where you can experience anything you want. You can live the kind of life you've only dreamed of, doing everything you've ever wanted to do, with the people you love plugged in right alongside you. You'll even experience everything as absolutely real. The only catch? You must leave the real world behind. Would you plug in? Thought experiments are fascinating, fun to think about, and useful. They've been used since ancient times by philosophers, scientists, and other thinkers to solve problems, reveal what's important to us, and help to understand ourselves and the world.

In this provocative and delightful course, you'll come to grips with a wide range of thought experiments from many traditions. A few of these mental voyages include

Seventeenth-century philosopher John Locke's thought experiment about a "body exchange" between a prince and another man, which obliges us to think deeply about what makes us the same people over time.
Albert Einstein's thought experiment, wherein, a giant elevator is accelerated through empty space, allowing us to explore what would happen under conditions that we can't produce yet, giving genuine insight into the natural world.
The well-known "Trolley Problem" that Philippa Foot first introduced in her 1967 paper that involved the two case studies of a trolley driver and a transplant, which demonstrated, perhaps surprisingly, that we tend to approve the idea of trading one life to save several lives in some situations while not in other situations.
Modern thought experiments about moral luck, which suggest that we have conflicting intuitions about whether we can hold people responsible for things that are out of their control.
Most thought experiments involve imaginary scenarios, which is why they are thought experiments. And, as influential philosopher Derek Parfit pointed out, "We discover our beliefs are revealed most clearly when we consider imaginary cases. These beliefs also cover actual cases, and our own lives." By these means, thought experiments are of real value in revealing and challenging our deepest assumptions, beliefs, and thought processes.

Refine Your Powers of Thought and Reasoning

Throughout the 24 lectures of The Power of Thought Experiments, you'll investigate classic thought experiments on a spectrum of topics, such as

The Parameters of Ethics. You're faced with the choice of whether to save a drowning child. In this and other settings involving a person's power to prevent something bad from happening, learn how thought experiments have probed our notions of ethics and morality. Work through problems that look at what our moral obligations are to others and the limits of those obligations and consider situations that challenge our sense of what's right and wrong and what we should or shouldn't do.
The Boundaries of Identity. Across three lectures, grasp how thought experiments offer a valuable window into our conceptions of personal identity and selfhood. Through narratives where you undergo brain transplants, teletransportation, and sensory deprivation, reckon with questions concerning what defines or delimits the "you" you know yourself to be. Is identity necessarily related to the body? Where does the self begin and where does it end?
"Schrödinger's Cat." Within quantum mechanics, take the measure of this famous thought experiment exploring superposition-the notion that quantum phenomena seem to exist in different states at the same time. See how Schrödinger's scenario, which pictures a cat and a potentially lethal device within a steel chamber, uncovers a serious theoretical problem: according to the standard view of quantum theory, the cat in the chamber is both alive and dead.
Is Your Will Free? We think of ourselves as acting from free will. But is this the case? Examine this question, using thought experiments that explore the problem of how we make a choice when no single alternative seems better, or when we're torn between two choices. Assess whether such choices are truly free, or whether they're determined by prior or surrounding causes. Look rigorously at determinism and indeterminism vis-à-vis will.
A Brush with Immortality. You've taken a pill that allows you to live forever, in the healthiest possible state, with guaranteed freedom and prosperity, and the periodic option to cancel the deal. Witness how thought experiments have been used to explore the implications of such a condition, not as a fictional flight of fancy but as a means for investigating whether unlimited life is desirable, and what makes a (mortal) life truly worth living.
A Dazzling and Provocative Adventure

Throughout the course, Professor Breyer contextualizes the thought experiments at hand with incisive commentary on how they have been viewed, interpreted, and argued about through time, showing how thought experiments have influenced the history of science, philosophy, epistemology, ethics, psychology, law, and many other fields of knowledge.

Along the way, you'll gain vivid clarity on the power of thought experiments to open us up to new ways of thinking, to identify what we care about and what we truly believe, to stretch our imaginations, to help us investigate the world, and to advance the boundaries of knowledge.

Professor Breyer's compelling and wide-ranging presentation makes these lectures both illuminating and richly enjoyable. Join history's great thinkers in The Power of Thought Experiments-for an extraordinary journey into your own mind.

What Will You Learn?
Consider landmark thought experiments by scientists like Galileo Galilei, Erwin Schrödinger, and Albert Einstein

Find out how imaginary cases can tell us something about how the world really is

Look at the relationship between a thought experiment and an actual experiment, and understand when a thought experiment is better

See how thinkers from different traditions, such as philosophers, economists, theologians, and mathematicians, have used thought experiments to explore issues

Delve into thought experiments with topics as wide-ranging as rational choice, moral responsibility, the good life, and identity

TTC - Major Transitions in Evolution
Last updated 11/2023

How and when did life on Earth get to be the way it is today?

[/center]
How and when did life on Earth get to be the way it is today?

Imagine a world without bees, butterflies, and flowering plants. That was Earth 125 million years ago.
Turn back the clock 400 million years, and there were no trees.
At 450 million years in the past, even the earliest insects had not yet developed.
And looking back 500 million years-a half-billion years before the present-the land was devoid of life, which at that time flourished in a profusion of strange forms in the oceans.
These and other major turning points are the amazing story of evolution, the most remarkable force in the history of Earth, the organizing principle throughout the biological sciences, and the most important mechanism scientists use to understand the varieties of life on our planet.

To learn about these major transitions, each of which brought forth new possibilities for life, is to embark on an unforgettable look into the past. It's also a captivating opportunity to get a deeper understanding of how evolution works, to draw intricate connections between living things, and to think about life-not just yours but the lives of everything around you-in new ways.

Major Transitions in Evolution tells this science-detective story in 24 lavishly illustrated lectures that focus on the giant leaps that gave rise to nature's boundless diversity. In a course of breathtaking scope, you study the conditions that led to the first complex cells, flying insects, flowering plants, mammals, modern humans, and many other breakthroughs. And in the process of studying the past, you gain a powerful understanding of the present world.

Given the broad scope of the subject, this course is taught by two professors: Anthony Martin, a paleontologist and geologist at Emory University, and John Hawks, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Each is an outstanding teacher in his field, adept at making the subject interesting and accessible no matter what your background in science. And in the final lecture, the two appear together for an absorbing conversation on common themes in the epic saga of life on Earth.

Giant Leaps that Brought Us to Today

Among the major transitions you cover are these

From simple to complex cells: Life's first major evolutionary transition was the leap from basic prokaryotic to more complex eukaryotic cells, which contain a nucleus and other specialized structures. This was the crucial step that eventually led to plants and animals.
From fish to four legs: The iconic image of evolution is a fish emerging onto land. This transition might not have happened without shade provided by the newly developing forests, whose protective canopy gave the first fishapods protection from the sun.
Dinosaurs become birds: Dinosaurs didn't go completely extinct; they survive today as birds, whose distinctive wings, feathers, and other features are visible in transitional fossils such as Archaeopteryx, from about 150 million years ago.
Modern humans: The evolution of tree-dwelling primates to upright-walking apes later led to the evolution of modern humans-a species that invented agriculture, poetry, computers, and the techniques to trace its own lineage and that of all life.
You also explore many other transitions that occurred between these milestones, and you take an intriguing look ahead to speculate about the future direction of evolution. From the deep past until today, evolution has been a story with countless subplots, false leads, and reversals of fortune. But it has had one overarching theme-that life is wondrous, resilient, and endlessly surprising.

It's easy to imagine the first modern humans staring up at the heavens in wonder, their eyes and minds dazzled by a beautiful band of light splashed across the night sky, the ever-changing moon so large and bright, and pinpoints of light in every direction. For a few hundred thousand years, our eyes were our primary astronomical tool, and we used them well. We catalogued and analyzed what we saw, filled in the gaps with powerful stories, applied what we knew of mathematics, and then invented complex tools of stone, metal, and glass to expand our knowledge. Everything we knew about the universe was based on light, that small part of the electromagnetic spectrum detectable by human eyes.

Then one day in the 1930s, a young engineer named Karl Jansky was assigned a task at Bell Labs: What were the sources of radio static that could interrupt transatlantic radio communications? After several years of work, he identified one source as radio waves coming from thunderstorms near and far. and another, from something at the center of the Milky Way. For the very first time, we had detected radiation below the visible part of the spectrum emanating from an astronomical object. For years, astronomers had been frustrated by interstellar dust that blocked their view and limited their

Radio Astronomy: Observing the Invisible Universe takes you on a thrilling journey through the universe with stunning visuals and animations to explain the science of radio astronomy and its astounding discoveries. Your guide is Felix J. Lockman, Ph.D., of the Green Bank Observatory, an active radio astronomer whose great passion for his work is absolutely contagious. As Dr. Lockman explains, radio astronomy is not simply a conglomeration of theories with no practical application to our lives today. While radio astronomy has the potential to one day answer the question of extraterrestrial intelligence, it also allows us to more accurately tell time right here on Earth, study terrestrial plate tectonics, and even get smartphone directions to that great new restaurant.

All about That Hydrogen

Some of radio astronomy's myriad discoveries can be traced to the structure of the hydrogen atom. In hydrogen, one electron is essentially in orbit around one proton and both have a property called "spin," either up or down. The parallel spin "wants" to decay into antiparallel spin-much like two magnets "wanting" to be aligned north to south, or antiparallel. In jumping position from parallel to antiparallel, a photon of radiation is emitted.

This process is certainly not unique to hydrogen. What is unique is that at the dawn of radio astronomy, a scientist predicted hydrogen would emit this radiation at detectable radio wavelengths, and this prediction offered astronomers a new tool for studying the universe. Three teams of scientists from around the world worked to discover the signal, and there it was, exactly as predicted: with a frequency of 1420 MHz, a wavelength of 21 cm.

For more than a decade, hydrogen at 21 cm wavelength remained the only spectral line which radio astronomers could use for their research. Later, signals from other elements and even molecules were identified. Over time, as both theory and technology improved, radio astronomers made discoveries that completely changed our understanding of the universe. Just a very few of these discoveries include

Jupiter's radiation belts;

Galactic non-thermal radiation, now called synchrotron emission;

The birth rate of stars in the Milky Way and the galaxy's rotational speed;

Sagittarius A, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way;

Dark matter;

Neutron stars, pulsars, and binary pulsar systems;

Gravitational radiation, as predicted by Einstein;

Cosmic background radiation, confirming the big bang theory;

Radio galaxies, quasars, and active galactic nuclei;

Giant molecular clouds, the birthplaces of stars and planets; and

Complex organic molecules in interstellar space.

Radio Telescopes, "Seeing" the Invisible

While you might have an optical telescope in your backyard, you will likely never have a radio telescope. Radio telescopes are large-over 100 meters in diameter and beyond-because radio waves contain such a small amount of energy. For example, the signal from your cell phone measured one kilometer away is five million billion times stronger than the radio signals received from a bright quasar! Although each radio telescope is designed for a specific use and often looks very different from others, they are all based on the same physical principles. Each collects, focuses, amplifies, and analyzes radio waves. In Radio Astronomy: Observing the Invisible Universe, Dr. Lockman takes you on an exciting virtual tour of radio telescopes. From the first handmade telescope built by radio astronomy pioneer Grote Reber to those on the drawing board for tomorrow, you're right there with the scientists

The Green Bank Telescope, West Virginia, where Dr. Lockman does his research. At 17 million pounds and with more than 2,000 surface panels that can be repositioned in real time, this telescope is one of the largest moveable, land-based objects ever built.

The Very Large Array (VLA), New Mexico. With its 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration, the data can be multiplied to form interference patterns, giving scientists a deeper and clearer look at galaxies than ever before.

The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), Chile. With an array of 66 radio antennas located high above much of the earth's atmosphere, ALMA has revealed new stars and planetary systems in the making.

The Very-Long-Baseline Array (VLBA), with multiple locations. The VLBA includes telescopes located thousands of miles apart, all functioning together as one single radio telescope the size of the Earth, allowing scientists to peer deep into the centers of galaxies.

The Biggest Questions

Perhaps the most astounding of all radio astronomy discoveries is this: The dominant molecular structures in interstellar space are based on carbon. That is not what scientists had expected.

We have always labeled these molecules "organic" because life on Earth is carbon based. Now we know that the chemistry of the entire Milky Way is organic, not just our home planet, and it is likely that any extraterrestrial galactic life would be related to us, at least on the molecular level. Will we find other organic lifeforms out there? Radio astronomers don't know. But they're working on it, along with the study of many other objects and processes not yet understood. Dr. Lockman's current research addresses hydrogen clouds in the Andromeda galaxy, the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. Other radio astronomers are working to answer myriad questions about dark matter, fast radio bursts, and much more.

If the history of radio astronomy is any predictor, discoveries in these new research areas will lead to new questions, new technologies, more discoveries, and more questions. As Radio Astronomy: Observing the Invisible Universe shows, the field is on the cutting edge of knowledge itself. "Astronomy, by looking outward, leads us to questions that reflect upon ourselves in very deep ways," Dr. Lockman says. "Astronomical discoveries have changed the way we think."

TTC - Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths of Language Usage
Last updated 12/2023
MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch
Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 24 Lessons ( 12h 12m ) | Size: 10.2 GB


[center]
Is English broken? Do bad grammar, slang, and illogical constructions signal a decline in standards of usage? Do e-mail and text messages corrupt the art of writing? In short, is our language going to the dogs?

[/center]
It's easy to think so, just as it's easy to listen to people speaking a foreign language and think that they're doing something more complicated and interesting than we're doing in speaking English. But English is complicated and interesting too. Consider the real truth behind these widespread beliefs

English is in crisis: False. English has been undergoing fundamental change for centuries. Novelty and caprice have created not just slang but the very foundations of what we think of as the best parts of English.
Latin is more perfect than modern languages: False. By historical accident, Latin became the standard for grammatical rigor. But countless languages, including English, are Latin's equal in precision and expressive power.
Grammar should be logical: False. A double negative is unacceptable in standard English because it implies a positive. But many languages use it without misunderstanding, along with other constructions that defy strict logic.
Texting degrades writing: False. Text messages and e-mail are not crowding out other forms of language. Instead, they fill an important niche-informal writing-that until now had no adequate outlet.
The modern attitude toward English is filled with such misconceptions that obscure the true picture of what a marvelous language it is. Far from being a language in decline, English is the product of surprisingly varied linguistic forces, some of which have only recently come to light. And these forces continue to push English in new directions-in defiance of those who long for an age of formal perfection that never existed.

Taught by acclaimed linguist, author, and Professor John McWhorter of Columbia University, Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths of Language Usage dispels the cloud of confusion that clings to English, giving you a crystal-clear view of why we use it the way we do and where it fits into the diverse languages of the world. After completing these 24 lectures, you will think about how you use English in a new way, listen to others with discernment and fascination, and take joy in speaking such a wonderfully idiosyncratic tongue.

Dig beneath the Surface of English

Like an archaeologist sifting through clues to a vanished civilization, Professor McWhorter highlights the many features of English that sound normal to a native speaker but that linguists find puzzling and also revealing

Meaningless do: The only languages that use do in the way English does (as in "do not walk") are the Celtic languages such as Welsh, which were spoken by people who lived among the early English and influenced their language in many subtle ways.
Fossilized mistakes: The little green legume often eaten with carrots was formerly called pease in the singular. The word was gradually misinterpreted as plural because of the final s sound, and a new singular form was assumed to exist: pea.
"Heritage" Old English: One of the mysteries of Modern English is that it resembles a heritage version of Old English. A heritage language is one learned imperfectly at home, typically by immigrant children who acquire a different dominant language.

Hear English with New Ears

In the first part of the course, you address historical mysteries about English. Your investigation begins 2,500 years ago with Proto-Germanic, the language that gave birth to the Germanic languages. From there, you trace the shifting path that eventually led to English-a Germanic language like no other-which lacks grammatical gender and practically all case endings and conjugation markers. "Something happened to English," says Professor McWhorter, and by the end of Lecture 9 you will have pieced together evidence from many different languages that explain our tongue's unique evolution.

In the second part of Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths of Language Usage, you focus on modern controversies about how English is used, which take on new clarity in light of the historical background covered earlier in the course.

These lectures give you a fresh perspective on the language, allowing you to understand it more fully

Pronoun problems: "Billy and me went to the store" is considered incorrect, because the subject form, I, should be used instead of me. But then why does "Me and Billy went to the store" sound so much more fluent than "I and Billy went to the store"?
Lie/lay confusion: Lie and lay exemplify an old pattern in English, in which the vowel is altered to make an intransitive verb transitive. But as with another such pair, drink and drench (where drench originally meant "to force to drink"), the traditional lie/lay distinction is irreversibly withering away.
Dangling participles: "Driving through town, the crowds looked ominous" is deemed ungrammatical, because it suggests the crowds were doing the driving. But what about "Judging from her appearance, she was quite tired," which has the same construction but is widely accepted?
Terminal prepositions: The rule against ending a sentence with a preposition is largely the work of 18th-century clergyman Robert Lowth, who had so internalized the rhythms of Latin that he wished to impose a similar structure on English, which has a much more flexible relationship with prepositions.

A History of Defying Rules

These examples and many more in the course represent a few of the flash points in English's long history of defying rules, a process that occurs in all languages. In a vivid analogy, Professor McWhorter says that the effort to keep English the way it used to be is like trying to dry off the beach with a towel. One of the jobs of linguists is to pull back the camera and take in the big picture to see how languages naturally evolve, and to predict where they're going next.

As you discover in Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths of Language Usage, the evidence is all around you: in the speech you hear in public places and on television, in the always-innovative slang of the young, on the printed page and Internet, and in your own mouth. "Part of being a healthy society is being proud of one's language," says Professor McWhorter. In this exciting course, he gives you every reason to be a proud, informed, and more self-aware speaker of English.

TTC - Communism in Decline: From Sputnik to Gorbachev
Released 9/2024
MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch
Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 12 Lessons ( 6h 42m ) | Size: 5.61 GB

Communism was more than a new philosophy to Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels when they wrote the Communist Manifesto in 1848. They saw it as a brand-new way of life, a new civilization for the modern man and woman. The communist way of life was to represent a total liberation from all of history, which they saw as nothing more than struggle, exploitation, and suffering. Instead of building upon the past, they proposed that communism would focus only on the future, promising total social equality for all and sharing in a new stage of human societal evolution.

When measured against other social theories throughout world history, communism is more than just another a philosophical thought experiment. The beliefs and practices of communism were institutionalized in Lenin's Bolshevik state, as experienced within the experimental and unprecedented development of the Soviet Union. For 74 years, the experiment held together. Communist regimes, at their peak, ruled more than one-third of the world's population.

What happened? What really caused this giant experiment to decline and fall apart?

In Communism in Decline: From Sputnik to Gorbachev, Professor Vejas Gabriel Liulevicius reveals the internal and external forces that ripped apart the grand communist experiment. What were the mistakes made by the Soviet leaders who believed too deeply in their own propaganda? And why were they not able to see the many ironies in their own poor decisions? In 12 fascinating lectures, you will learn how the Soviet Union went from winning the space race against the United States in 1957 to Gorbachev's resignation and the dissolution of the great experiment in 1991.

The Men at the Top

Eight men led the Soviet Union from its founding in 1922 to its collapse in 1991. Each of them believed that communism was the only way forward to achieve a bright and successful future for modern society. Theoretically, at least, they believed that political power should belong to the workers and peasants; but if that was the ideal aspiration, no one came close to achieving it.

As the leader of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, Vladimir Lenin became the guiding personality of the Soviet Union after founding the Russian Communist Party, then signing treaties with nearby countries and regions. After serving only two years as the head of the Soviet Russian government before his death in 1924, he was succeeded by Josef Stalin. In power from 1924 until his death in 1953, Stalin's murderous dictatorship caused the death of millions in the Soviet Union. Stalin is also known for becoming an ally of the United States in the effort to defeat Germany during World War II.

In the years after Stalin's death, there were several notable Soviet leaders who followed Stalin. What did these men bring to their leadership roles and how did their decisions shape the Soviet Union and the world? In this course, you will learn about

Nikita Khrushchev. Khrushchev ruled the Soviet Union during the complex times of the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis and when his country was arguably at its zenith-when Sputnik won the space race for the Soviet Union in 1957.
Leonid Brezhnev. Brezhnev saw himself as the leader of the worldwide fight against capitalism. That mission resulted in the USSR coming to the aid of any socialist or communist government that seemed to be on the verge of failing. This "Brezhnev Doctrine" led him to the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia's Prague Spring and the invasion of Afghanistan in 1979.
Mikhail Gorbachev. Explore the "Gorbachev Phenomenon" and "Gorbymania." Although not so popular at home, this Soviet leader was beloved internationally. He knew the Soviet Union needed to move forward economically, and he "thawed" the Cold War as one way to achieve that goal. In 1991, Gorbachev oversaw the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Promises vs. Reality

The communist doctrine promised a great deal that its leaders never delivered. No one knows what would have happened if the Soviet Union had followed Lenin's doctrine, and if the longest-serving Soviet leader had not strangled his country as a murderous dictator. By the time Gorbachev decided the Soviet Union could improve its standard of living by coexisting with capitalist countries and getting back to the best of Lenin's philosophies, it was too late. Too many systemic problems existed for Gorbachev to overcome, including

Commodities Shortages. When people had to stand in line for hours to purchase the basic necessities for their families-if anything was on the shelves by the time they got to the front of the queue-it was clear their government was not providing for "each according to his needs" as Marx had proposed.
What "They" Have. With the standard of living in the West being so much higher than that of the Soviet Union, it was difficult for citizens to believe that capitalism should be their mortal enemy.
The National Problem. The Soviet Union attempted to blend people of numerous ethnicities into one state. Leadership promised that each ethnicity would share in the power while preserving their own cultural attributes. Instead, as economic shortages worsened, each group felt they were taken advantage of by the others.
Dissent

After the death of Stalin, the most violently repressive of all Soviet leaders, some voices of dissent could be heard arguing for freedom of speech and greater respect for human rights. Although Khrushchev initially allowed some dissent to distinguish his rule from Stalin's, he eventually cracked down on free speech, afraid it would undermine his power. In Communism in Decline: From Sputnik to Gorbachev, you will learn about the well-known major demonstrations such as Solidarity in the shipyards of Gdansk, Poland and demonstrations in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. Additionally, you will learn about more subtle forms of dissent, including

Laughter. Repressed people fight back however they can, and in the Soviet Union telling jokes became a widespread form of dissent. In this course, you'll hear many of the political jokes that became a form of social protest-criticizing the system, its ideology, and the resulting daily indignities.
Books. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is one of the most well-known writers who used literature to reveal the truth about the Soviet prison camps and life in the country, in general. His most famous work, The Gulag Archipelago, was smuggled out to the West and published there in 1973.
Samizdat. When an uncensored, non-Soviet-approved text could be found, people took it upon themselves to copy its pages one at a time, via typewriter or by hand, and then pass the pages around. Whoever received these samizdat ("self-published") products would have only one night to read them before passing them on to the next person.
While communism failed in the Soviet Union in the long term, it had lasted for 74 years and remains the official ideological system today in China, North Korea, Laos, Vietnam, and Cuba. Only time will tell whether communism as practiced specifically in those countries will be able to overcome the problems that took down the Soviet Union.
