Summary

Women At War explores the often-overlooked contributions of women throughout military history, challenging traditional narratives that focus solely on men. It reveals how women's involvement in conflicts expanded beyond traditional support roles, impacting both the battlefront and the home front. The book argues that women's contributions were instrumental to the war effort, yet their roles have been underestimated in historical accounts. From filling critical manufacturing positions in factories to engaging in espionage and codebreaking, women played pivotal roles in shaping military outcomes and societal transformations. This book emphasizes the necessity of recognizing women's participation for a complete understanding of military history and the evolution of gender roles.

 
The book progresses through key sections, beginning with an introduction to societal norms regarding women's roles during different historical periods. It then investigates women's essential work in factories (The Arsenal of Democracy), their contributions to intelligence gathering (Cloak and Dagger), and their direct engagement in combat roles (On the Front Lines). By using primary sources like diaries and military records, the book provides a rigorous and balanced assessment of women's wartime experiences.

 
Ultimately, Women At War advocates for a reassessment of traditional military histories to include the indispensable contributions of women.

    How children engage with technology at each stage of development, from toddler to twentysomething, and how they can best be supported. 
 
 
 
What happens to the little ones, the tweens, and the teenagers, when technology—ubiquitous in the world they inhabit—becomes a critical part of their lives? This timely book brings much-needed clarity to what we know about technology's role in child development. Better yet, it provides guidance on how to use what we know to help children of all ages make the most of their digital experiences. 
 
 
  
From toddlers who are exploring their immediate environment to twentysomethings who are exploring their place in society, technology inevitably and profoundly affects their development. Drawing on her expertise in developmental science and design research, Katie Davis describes what happens when child development and technology design interact, and how this interaction is complicated by children's individual characteristics and social and cultural contexts. Critically, she explains how a self-directed experience of technology—one initiated, sustained, and ended voluntarily—supports healthy child development, especially when it takes place within the context of community support.

    Against the backdrop of the late Cold War, a tiny American start-up company forged a secret deal to place American scientific payloads aboard the Soviet space station MIR. Born out of sheer desperation after the Challenger explosion and grounding of the United States space shuttle program, the agreement was negotiated and approved behind the backs of NASA and Congress, with the help of United States government officials inside the Commerce and Defense departments. 
 
 
 
On a cold gray morning in February 1988, the company founder met with three graduate students and their professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to put his plans into action. Baikonur Man, written by one of those students, recounts the subsequent five-year saga of how science, comradery, hardship, drama, and occasional lunacy led to the first American experiments and payloads to fly on Russian rockets.

'A compelling argument for having more children' New Statesman
A population calamity is unfolding before our eyes. It started in parts of the developed world and is spreading to the four corners of the globe. There are just too few babies being born for humanity to replace itself.
Leading demographer Paul Morland argues that the consequences of this promise to be calamitous. Labour shortages, pensions crises and ballooning debt threaten to engulf us all, and sooner than we think. Unless we radically change our attitudes towards parenthood and embrace a new progressive pro-natalism, argues Morland, we face disaster.
