Sinossi

Maritime Conflict explores the timeless principles of naval warfare, highlighting how logistics, fleet formations, and combat systems have shaped maritime power throughout history. The book argues that while technology evolves, these core elements remain crucial for successful naval strategy. For example, understanding fleet formations is vital, as they maximize firepower while maintaining tactical flexibility, a principle applicable from ancient galleys to modern warships. 

 
The book examines naval warfare from ancient times to the modern era, tracing the evolution of logistics from rudimentary supply lines to complex global networks. It also delves into how combat systems have advanced, showing the interplay between technological innovation and tactical adaptation. Highlighting the importance of understanding these enduring principles, Maritime Conflict provides a framework for analyzing naval warfare across different eras, helping strategists and policymakers make informed decisions.

 
Divided into three major sections—logistics, fleet formations, and combat systems—the book begins each section with a historical overview, tracing the element's evolution. Subsequent chapters present case studies, illustrating successful and unsuccessful applications in various conflicts. By focusing on these enduring principles, the book offers a unique perspective, revealing patterns and dynamics that have shaped maritime conflict throughout history.

Mercury and Gemini: The History...

Editors Charles River

The successful Apollo 11 mission was certainly an astonishing technological triumph, but what is less well remembered now are that many programs preceded Apollo and were essential to its success. Project Mercury was one of those, and in many ways it represented the greatest step forward in terms of the conquest of space. Before Project Mercury, there was no certainty that a human could survive the rigors of a space launch or live outside Earth’s atmosphere. There was no agreement on just what an astronaut should be, and various individuals involved debated whether they should be pilots, technicians, scientists, or even merely observers in an automated craft. Before Project Mercury, no one was entirely certain what a rocket capable of taking a person into space would look like, or even whether building such a craft was within the capabilities of engineering in the 1950s.
Gemini also marked another important milestone as America finally surpassed the Soviet Union in space technology. Before Gemini, the US was playing a desperate game of catch-up as it attempted to match Soviet accomplishments. The last Project Mercury flight launched in May 1963, and before then, Russia had put the first satellite in Earth’s orbit and the first man in space and had followed these with longer flights than the tiny Mercury spacecraft. In terms of military significance, it was recognized that the ability to dominate space was very important, and to many people in America, it seemed that Russia was well on the way to doing this. No one could have guessed that it would be almost three years before the next American manned space flight occurred when Gemini 3 left the launch pad in March 1965. It seemed to many people that the Russian lead in space exploration had become unassailable and, in order to reestablish the credibility of the US space program, the Gemini flights simply had to succeed.

Living the Good Life - A...

Steven J. Jensen

Living the Good Life presents a brief introduction to virtue and vice, self-control and weakness, misery and happiness. The book contrasts the thought of Aquinas with popular views, such as moral relativism, values clarification, utilitarianism, Kantian deontology, and situation ethics. Following the Socratic dictum "know thyself," Steven J. Jensen investigates the interior workings of the human mind, revealing the interplay of reason, will, and emotions. 
 
 
 
Jensen ably guides listeners through Aquinas's philosophy and explains the distinction between the moral and intellectual virtues. The moral virtues train our various desires toward the true good, helping us discard our misguided cravings and teaching us to enjoy what is truly worth pursuing. The virtue of justice directs our hearts to the good of others, freeing us from egoism in order to seek a good shared with others. Most important, the virtue of prudence directs our deliberations to discover the true path of life. 
 
 
 
Intended as a text for students, beginners of philosophy will gain access to a key aspect of Aquinas's thought, namely, that true happiness is realized not in the animal life of passion and greed but only in the reasonable pursuit of human goods, in which we find true peace and rest from the distractions of this world.
