Sinopsis

In "The Influence of Sea Power upon the French Revolution and Empire: 1793-1812," Alfred Thayer Mahan meticulously examines the pivotal role that maritime supremacy played in shaping the geopolitical landscape of late 18th and early 19th century France. Mahan's scholarly narrative employs a blend of thorough historical analysis and compelling prose, illustrating how naval power significantly influenced revolutionary tactics and the expansionist ambitions of France during this tumultuous period. Contextualized within the broader framework of global naval history and its strategic doctrines, Mahan'Äôs insights reveal how control of the seas could determine the fate of nations, foreshadowing contemporary naval strategies still relevant to modern scholarship. Mahan, a distinguished U.S. naval officer and historian, was profoundly inspired by the interactions of naval strategy and international politics. His extensive naval career and involvement in maritime policies informed his scholarly interests, fostering a unique perspective that intertwined historical narrative with pragmatic military theory. His earlier works, including the seminal "The Influence of Sea Power upon History, 1660-1783," laid the groundwork for this analysis, further establishing his reputation in maritime studies. This book is a vital resource for historians, political scientists, and naval strategists, providing a deep understanding of how sea power is intricately linked to national strength. Readers interested in the intersections of military strategy, maritime history, and revolutionary movements will find Mahan's arguments both compelling and illuminating, as he encourages a critical reevaluation of the historical forces that have shaped modern nations.

    In Too Far on a Whim, Tyler A. Pitrof presents a high-spirited revision of the US Navy's commitment to high-steam propulsion systems, the mainstay of its World War II fleets. Pitrof's research persuasively demonstrates that in its war against the Imperial Japanese Navy, the US Navy succeeded despite its high-steam propulsion systems rather than because of them. 
     
     
     
    War with an aggressive Japan and a resurgent Germany loomed in the dark days of the late 1930s. Rear Admiral Harold G. Bowen Sr., head of the US Navy's Bureau of Engineering, advanced a radical vision: a new fleet based on high-steam propulsion, a novel technology that promised high speeds with smaller engines and better fuel efficiency. 
     
     
     
    The official record of high-steam technology's subsequent performance has relied heavily on Bowen's own memoir, in which he painted high-steam innovation in heroic colors. Pitrof's empirical review of primary sources such as maintenance records illuminates the opposite. 
     
     
     
    Pitrof provides an account that extends far beyond technology and into matters of naval hierarchies and bureaucracy, strategic theory, and ego. 
     
     
     
    To Far on a Whim is a landmark for those interested in naval history and technology.

    Harriet Tubman, freedom fighter and leader in the Underground Railroad, is one of the most significant figures in US history. Her courage and determination in bringing enslaved people to freedom have established her as an icon of the abolitionist movement. But behind the history of the heroine called "Moses" was a woman of deep faith. 
     
     
     
    In Walking the Way of Harriet Tubman, Therese Taylor-Stinson introduces Harriet, a woman born into slavery whose unwavering faith and practices in spirituality and contemplation carried her through insufferable abuse and hardship to become a leader for her people. Her profound internal liberation came from deep roots in mysticism, Christianity, nature spirituality, and African Indigenous beliefs that empowered her own escape from enslavement—giving her the strength and purpose to lead others on the road to freedom. 
     
     
     
    Harriet's lived spirituality illuminates a profound path forward for those of us longing for internal freedom, as well as justice and equity in our communities. As people of color, we must cultivate our full selves for our own liberation and the liberation of our communities. As the luminous significance of Harriet Tubman's spiritual life is revealed, so too is the path to our own spiritual truth, advocacy, and racial justice as we follow in her footsteps.

    It was a long, sometimes devastating, journey Maxine was forced to undertake through the depths of despair as a preschooler, and then on through a tumultuous adolescence during which she was ignored yet at the same time abused by a uncaring mother who daily left her with a malevolent grandmother who similarly mistreated her. 
    		Instructed by her divorced mother to no longer call her Mama, in an effort to enhance her own marketability as a perspective wife to some unsuspecting man. 
    		Fortunately, Maxine was endowed with the guiles and street smarts that allowed her to survive. The pain of her youth was converted, of necessity, into the toughness and unwillingness to accept what appeared to be inevitable. As the result of her own perseverance and courage she was accepted and graduated from Brooklyn College. 
    		Separating herself from her horrendous past, she resurrected her life by achieving success as a school teacher, a wife and, ultimately, a mother and grandmother. Along the way, she became proficient as a stock trader, thus providing herself and her family the additional financial and emotional security she was deprived of in her early years. 
    		Maxine reflects on her life as an independent success story.
