The war in Iran has exposed the U.S. and allied vulnerability to low-cost drones. "The United States should invest substantially more resources into drones and less into costly, manned systems," writes expert @MaxBoot. "China and Russia are likely to field even more advanced missile and drone forces than Iran. The United States needs to be ready—not only tactically and technologically but also strategically."

Winner of the MLA Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for a Translation of a Scholarly Study of Literature "Ye Shitao’s 'A History of Taiwan Literature' is a seminal work in establishing the field of Taiwanese literature and literary history in its own right. Although it is an outline of the history of Taiwanese literature, the study has an impressive scope, introducing English-speaking readers to the complexities of the literary field and discussing single authors, as well as literary societies, magazines, and cultural trends as they come together to create a national literature. Christopher Lupke’s masterful and fluid translation gives the reader the full flavor of the rhetoric and style of the original. The volume also includes extensive Japanese-language notes that, together with the introduction, ensure a better understanding of the significance of Ye Shitao’s book." —MLA Committee cambriapress.com/HistoryTaiw…

5 books to understand why you're always distracted: 1) Stolen Focus by Johann Hari

Pleasure can dehumanize you. Homer, the philosopher, presents a subtle allegory of the soul in his brief story of Odysseus and the Lotus-Eaters. The sluggish soul longs to wallow in pleasure and purposelessness—but the mind must sometimes lash the lower parts into obedience if it is to save itself from an inhuman existence. There are other lessons here too—on violence, rhetoric, and political rule. Homer is a teacher—and he teaches you how to save your soul from a purposeless life. Do not become a “Nobody.”
