Japan had few of the natural resources required to become an industrialized nation — limited and poor-quality supplies of coal, very little oil, scant quantities of natural gas, and a shortage of many metals. It remains the world’s largest importer of natural gas and the third-largest importer of oil. It was the thirst for these products, notably iron and oil, that caused Japan to rampage across Southeast Asia in the ’30s and ’40s. It had already occupied Taiwan, Korea, Manchuria, and then China too. As each domino fell, the expanding empire and growing Japanese population required more oil, more coal, more metal, more rubber, and more food. — Tim Marshall

From this cascade comes a prediction: getting too little sleep across the adult life span will significantly raise your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Precisely this relationship has now been reported in numerous epidemiological studies, including those individuals suffering from sleep disorders such as insomnia and sleep apnea.VIII Parenthetically, and unscientifically, I have always found it curious that Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan—two heads of state that were very vocal, if not proud, about sleeping only four to five hours a night—both went on to develop the ruthless disease. The current US president, Donald Trump—also a vociferous proclaimer of sleeping just a few hours each night—may want to take note. — Matthew Walker
There is one notable thing about our Christianity: bad, bloody, merciless, money-grabbing and predatory as it is - in our country particularly, and in all other Christian countries in a somewhat modified degree - it is still a hundred times better than the Christianity of the Bible, with its prodigious crime- the invention of Hell. — Mark Twain
