Synopsis

Armor Facts presents a comprehensive journey through the evolution of personal protection in combat, from ancient shields to modern body armor. It explores how armor development has shaped warfare, military technology, and societies across centuries. Intriguingly, armor has not only served as a defensive tool but also as a catalyst, driving innovation in weaponry and tactics. The book uniquely examines armor as a dynamic response to the changing realities of conflict, highlighting recurring patterns of innovation and adaptation that readers may find surprising.

 
The book's approach is structured, beginning with early armor forms in ancient civilizations. It progresses through the medieval period, focusing on plate armor's rise and its impact on knightly warfare, before analyzing the effect of gunpowder weapons and the shift to specialized armor in the early modern era. Finally, it delves into the 20th and 21st centuries, examining advancements in materials science and their impact on modern body armor.

 
Armor production has always been a costly endeavor, influencing military budgets and trade networks, and the book explores these economic factors.

    Do you have a Third Place? Your first place is home, your second place is work, and your third place is where you go to socialize. As more of our lives are spent online and in digital spaces, these often overlooked "Third Places" play a crucial role in keeping our communities vibrant. In a timely and thoughtful examination, Richard Kyte, PhD, explores the places that nurture our souls and make up the bedrock of our communities. Third Places can range from a neighborhood tavern, to a community center, to a local bookstore or coffee shop. They are the critical gathering spaces where friendships are formed, relationships are nurtured, and the tapestry of community is woven. Yet, for an ever-growing list of reasons, many people today find themselves without a third place of their own. At a time when our nation is facing an epidemic of loneliness, when communities are suffering from loss of trust, low levels of engagement, despair, and political polarization, what if the answer to many of our problems lies in a simple idea? What if we just need to pay attention to the places where we find ourselves?

    Rome - From a Republic to an Empire

    The story of Rome’s foundation is a captivating blend of myth and history, shaping the identity of one of the greatest civilizations in human history. Rooted in legend and forged through early struggles, the foundation of Rome reflects both its mythological beginnings and the realities of its initial development as a small settlement along the Tiber River. 
    The legendary origin of Rome is steeped in the myth of Romulus and Remus, twin brothers born to the god Mars and a mortal princess named Rhea Silvia. Abandoned at birth and raised by a she-wolf, the brothers grew strong and brave. Eventually, they sought to establish a city where they had been rescued. However, a dispute over the location led to Romulus killing Remus, and Romulus became the sole founder of the city, naming it Rome after himself. This myth, while dramatic and symbolic, represents Rome’s spirit of resilience and its connection to both divine and mortal heritage. 
    Historically, Rome’s beginnings were far more modest. Archaeological evidence points to the establishment of small villages on the Palatine Hill around the 8th century BCE. These communities were primarily Latin-speaking shepherds and farmers who gradually united for mutual protection and trade. Over time, the settlement expanded, eventually forming a cohesive community governed by local chieftains. The choice of location along the Tiber River proved strategic, offering both a water source and a means of trade and communication.

    If you're one of those folks who's had enough of the same old boring history books, you're in for a treat. 
    You see, "The History of France: The 1700s and the Napoleon Era" isn't like those other dusty books that put you to sleep before you can finish the first chapter. This book's got something special – something that makes you want to keep turning the pages and find out what happens next. 
    Picture this: France in the 1700s, with all its kings and queens, and the Age of Enlightenment brewing like a fresh pot of coffee. 
    It was a time of big ideas and even bigger hair, when people like Voltaire and Rousseau were changing the way folks thought about, well, everything. And then there's the French Revolution, that wild and crazy period when people decided they'd had enough of the aristocracy and started chopping heads left and right. 
    But that's not all. This book will also take you on a whirlwind tour of the Napoleon Era, where you'll get up close and personal with the little general who almost conquered the world – if only the Russians hadn't been so darn cold. You'll learn about his rise and fall, his brilliant strategies, and his complicated love life, all told in a way that'll make you feel like you're right there in the thick of things. 
    This is the kind of book that sneaks up on you, like that kid in class who never says much but always has the best stories to tell. 
    It's a book that'll make you forget about all those other history books that never quite lived up to their promises. 
    So why not give it a try? You might just find yourself getting lost in the pages, eager to uncover the secrets and stories of a time and place that'll never be quite the same again.

    Do Your Own Thing is a full-length work of non-fiction from artist and musician Richard Phoenix detailing his experiences of the best underground arts scene you've never heard of——Do Your Own Thing, a project run by learning disability arts organisation Heart n Soul.Looking at the transformative potential of working to support creative young people make the music and art they want to, this book contributes essential new voices, reflections and considerations to the established ideas of 'Do It Yourself' culture. Phoenix's book, written with a disarming and idiosyncratic voice, asks what our often reductive understanding of DIY aesthetics might mean in light of questions about access, support and who gives permission to whom to make art, guiding us through the kind of project only spoken about in funding reports and transforming it into a polyphonic, collaborative and joyful work of art.
