This definitive biography of Stubby and his best friend benefits from exhaustive research that restores fractured story threads, unearths unpublished photographs, and reconnects Stubby, now on display at the Smithsonian, with Conroy's almost forgotten descendants. Along the way Stubby won friends on the battlefield and beyond, earned commendations on two continents, and stole the heart of a nation. After starting out as mascot for Conroy's 102nd Infantry Regiment, he advanced to become a working military service dog-alerting soldiers to impending gas attacks and helping medics locate friendly survivors on the battlefield-and a source of inspiration and pride for their 26th ''Yankee'' Division. In short order this brindle-patterned recruit had worked his way up the ranks from stray to stowaway to star. The bond the pair formed in Connecticut carried them across an ocean, into the trenches of France, and onto the path of history. It all started one summer's day in 1917, just months after the United States had pledged to join the Great War, when a seemingly average, stump-tailed terrier wandered onto an Army training field at the campus of Yale University and adopted Pvt. In this inspiring, all-American story, readers meet a stray dog turned national icon and World War I hero thanks to his unexpected friendship with a soldier bound for France.

The book devotes a chapter to each of its seven "Principles", or axioms: The Principle of Mentalism, The Principle of Correspondence, The Principle of Vibration, The Principle of Polarity, The Principle of Rhythm, The Principle of Cause and Effect, and The Principle of Gender. The book early on makes the claim that it makes its appearance in one's life when the time is appropriate and includes variations of material found in the book of Proverbs. The book purports to be based upon ancient Hermeticism, though many of its ideas are relatively modern concepts arising from the New Thought movement. The Kybalion was first published in 1908 by the Yogi Publication Society and is now in the public domain, and can be found on the internet. The Kybalion: Hermetic Philosophy is a 1908 book claiming to be the essence of the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, published anonymously by a group or person under the pseudonym of "the Three Initiates". LibriVox recording of The Kybalion by The Three Initiates. Fu has stated that she aimed to “take the speculative ideas very seriously and at face value… asking what this character would do in this situation, without a winking eye to metaphor.” In truth there are moments when the metaphors become obvious, but Fu’s attention to character is unwavering.

But he’s less concerned about surveillance capitalism per se than what he sees as a weaponised front in the west’s battle for hegemony and control.Įntitled Surveillance Valley, the book’s subtitle is The Secret Military History of the Internet, and this is the focus of Levine’s often diligent investigations. His latest book targets the tech industry, which, let’s face it, is a massive and deserving target. His polemical method is to assemble all the supporting evidence he can find for his thesis and skirt round or dismiss anything that gets in its way. One of his previous books was entitled The Corruption of Malcolm Gladwell, which portrayed the celebrated New Yorker writer as a shill for big pharma and the tobacco industry. His background is in a certain kind of fashionable radicalism, set on exposing liberal hypocrisy from an anticapitalist perspective.
