As our reliance on space technology grows, so do the risks of conflict in orbit. Satellites are no longer just tools of communication—they’ve become strategic assets in global power struggles. This evolving militarization of space, I believe, highlights the need for innovative fora to address disputes that may arise beyond our planet. In "Operation Satellite", Frediano Finucci uncovers the hidden battles in orbit, shedding light on the geopolitical stakes of this new frontier. If you are in the city for New York Arbitration Week, don’t miss the chance to hear him present his book and explore these critical issues.

Thinking: #DatingRevelation One of the sure signs that the book of Revelation was written pre AD 70 is the fact that nothing was written about the history changing fall of the Old Covenant Temple. And remember it is a proven fact that the Temple was completely destroyed circa AD 70... If Revelation was written post AD 70 undoubtedly there would have been some eyewitness record of its destruction. In my opinion, the fact there is none is another solid proof for a pre AD 70 date... #justthinking #Revelationpread70

Regarding the bones in Westminster Abbey. Thanks to Annette Carson - I'm afraid there's a lot of tosh written about those bones. Chapter 10 of my book 'Richard III The Maligned King' describes AND illustrates precisely where they were found, and gives verbatim reports of the people who found them. Sadly these authentic reports pale by comparison with dramatic fictionalized ideas (e.g. Arthur Conan Doyle). Last year I gave a talk about this via Zoom to members of the Richard III Society, emphasizing the lack of expertise of the people who examined the bones in 1933, who merely succeeded in contaminating them more. Plus they X-rayed them, which is guaranteed to have degraded any DNA material that might have survived. DNA testing is only possible when you have a decent enough sample from antiquity. You don't need to be a member to look at all the information on the RIII Society's website, so I recommend (1) the FAQ about the bones, and (2) my article which summarizes their history. Happy reading! Thanks to Annette Carson.

📚 Hannah Durkin: the Clotilda slave ship and its lasting legacy - review The Clotilda story is more than just about Alabama. It is a fragment of a wider story about transatlantic slavery, and these 110 captives represent a fraction of the 12.5 million people involved. Read the full review. https://lnkd.in/exrHDKBV #books #history #review #HowToBeBooks
