E Pluribus Unum, July 2020: The Manhattan Project
The cover page of July Edition of E Pluribus Unum pays homage to the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki in 1945, the fatality counts of which totalled 213,000. The Manhattan Project, written brilliantly, details out what went into the making of the atom bomb that shook not only Japan, but the entire world, and also the legacy of the US government’s research project. The piece concludes with Excerpts from the letter addressed by Einstein to American President Roosevelt.
The edition rightly has an article that entails how the pandemic is proving to be building blocks for international relations, how the pandemic has changed the lives of people and the rising tensions between China and the other superpowers of the world.
The edition offers varied forms of readings ranging from articles on Feminism Today, Clothes & Appearances: A Story Based In The Times Of Industrial Revolution, Aurangzeb: The Life & Legacy Of India’s Most Controversial King. In this age of fake news, one of the young writers has penned down his thoughts in The Golden Age of Miscommunication: When People Can’t Trust News.
The two well-written book synopsis shows the depth of reading of the young learners. The two synopsis are of the books The Rise of Islamic State: ISIS and the New Sunni Revolution by Patrick Cockburn and Hidden Hand: Exposing How The Chinese Communist Party is Reshaping The World by Clive Hamilton & Mareike Ohlberg.
The edition closes with nationalist sentiments of this generation in My idea of a Nation.
The pandemic is a great time for this read here.
