Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

Alfred Thayer Mahan's seminal work, "The Influence of Sea Power upon the French Revolution and Empire," intricately explores the pivotal role of naval power in shaping the political landscape of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Through rigorous historical analysis and persuasive argumentation, Mahan elucidates how maritime supremacy influenced the outcomes of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, setting the stage for modern warfare and international relations. His scholarly approach is marked by a blend of meticulous research and an engaging narrative style, making complex geopolitical concepts accessible to a wide audience. Born in 1840, Mahan was a naval officer and historian whose career granted him valuable insights into military strategy and maritime affairs. His experiences during the height of the age of sail allowed him to appreciate the significance of naval dominance, which he believed was crucial for national prosperity and security. This profound understanding motivated Mahan to investigate the historical precedents of sea power, ultimately leading to his influential theories that would affect naval strategy across the globe. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in military history, naval strategy, and the interplay between sea power and statecraft. Mahan's arguments remain vital to comprehending contemporary geopolitical dynamics, as they underscore the enduring importance of naval capabilities in achieving national objectives.

Irish Fairy Forts - Portals to...

Jo Kerrigan

Far more than just a faint echo of the past, Ireland's fairy forts are still vibrantly alive. 
The traditions connected to them are so powerful that, even today, people rarely interfere with Irish fairy forts or fairy trees. They aren't built on; roads curve around them; farmers don't plough over them 
The most numerous ancient remains in Ireland today, numbering up to 50,000 or more, these enigmatic mounds and grassy banks seem to call out to us from an earlier time. So, what are they, who built them and what were they for? And how have so many survived for so long?
With evocative photographs by Richard Mills, master folklorist Jo Kerrigan explores the origins of these mysterious circular structures: the stories and legends, the history and archaeology, the living traditions and practices connected to them. And reminds us of the dangers of disturbing the ancient spirits dwelling beneath.

Florida Spectacular -...

Cathy Salustri

If when you think "Florida" you don't think "spectacular," Cathy Salustri is determined to change your mind. Explaining why the state is more than the "Florida Man" stories and the politics that so often make national news, and looking beyond the crowded beaches and theme parks, Salustri celebrates what makes the state worth a deeper understanding in this lively trip through its natural beauty and fascinating history. 
 
 
 
Florida Spectacular lifts the curtain on multiple facets, including the legacy of Zora Neale Hurston and the Black community at Eatonville; the bravery of Emateloye Estenletkvte, a Seminole woman who escaped from captivity back to her homeland; the two "frenemy" Henrys, Flagler and Plant, and their projects in transportation and tourism; the three "Marjories," the influential environmentalists and writers; and people working to solve issues facing the state today, such as those who have used Florida's hurricanes to make storm forecasting better for the whole world. 
 
 
 
Along the way, Salustri brings to light lesser-known moments from Florida's history that help illuminate the state's significance in American and world history. Salustri tours listeners through the hidden-in-plain-sight Florida, the overlooked treasures, the cultural complexities, the environmental challenges and successes.

Female Fear Factory -...

Pumla Dineo Gqola

Drawing on examples from around the world—from Uganda, Nigeria and South Africa to Saudi Arabia, the Americas and Europe—Gqola traces the construction and machinations of the female fear factory by exposing its lies, myths and seductions. She shows how seemingly disparate effects  
like driving bans, higher education rape, sexual harassment and femicide are all premised on the construction of people, mostly women, as female, and thereafter the use of fear as a tool of patriarchal subjugation and punishment. 
 
Female Fear Factory is a sobering account of patriarchal violence in the world, and a hopeful vision for the work of unapologetic feminist imaginative strategies across the globe.
