Sinopse

In "The History of England: From the Britons of Early Times to King John," David Hume presents a comprehensive chronicle that deftly intertwines political narrative with philosophical reflection. Hume's literary style is marked by its clarity and elegance, employing a conversational tone that invites readers into the complex web of England'Äôs past. The book is situated within the Enlightenment context, showcasing Hume'Äôs commitment to rational examination and skepticism, thereby setting a precedent for historical analysis that balances empirical inquiry with moral consideration. David Hume, an eminent Scottish Enlightenment philosopher and historian, drew upon his profound intellectual tradition to craft this monumental work. His rigorous training in philosophy and economics informed his historical approach, which emphasizes the interplay between human nature, governance, and societal evolution. Hume'Äôs own experiences in an age ripe with political upheaval and scientific progress deeply influenced his perception of history as a vital commentary on civilization's moral and social trajectory. Hume's "The History of England" is an essential read for those interested in the evolution of historical writing. It offers insights not only into England's formative years but also into the nature of history itself. Scholars and history enthusiasts alike will find this work enlightening, as it encourages a critical lens through which to view both the past and its implications for contemporary society.

    A  #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
    First responders run toward things the rest of us run away from. 
    What makes a person want to become a first responder? As in his bestselling book Unbroken Bonds of Battle, retired Marine Johnny Joey Jones didn’t have to look further than his closest family and friends to find frontline defenders—some he’s known since childhood, some he served with, and others have become friends and mentors. In this book, you will meet:A game warden whose “miracle K-9” helped him save 22 lives in search and rescue missionsA firefighter who chose the job over a lucrative family careerA police officer who died placing his squad car between civilians and a drunk driver going the wrong way on the highway—and his sister, who responded by becoming a deputyA border patrol medic working to save lives in the desert heatA SWAT sniper describing how to handle a high-speed chase 
    One thing all these people have in common: none of them wants to be called a hero. 
    Their inspiring and unique stories are almost always overlooked when it comes to patri­otic recognition of service and sacrifice. With vivid storytelling, Jones brings to life dramatic res­cues, heart-wrenching losses, and awe-inspiring acts of courage. He delves deep into what drives these brave men and women, offering an intimate look at their personal and professional lives. 
    Behind the Badge will leave you moved, inspired, and reminded of the true meaning of heroism—because these first responders are home­town heroes at heart.

    At first, airplane improvements occurred in an ad hoc, almost accidental manner during World War I. However, when pilots’ mounting of armaments on airplanes proved a successful means of defeating other aircraft and even attacking men on the ground, a much more active and systematic development of warplanes began across the continent. Each advance prompted a countermeasure, as the two sides strove for primacy in a deadly, unforgiving environment which rewarded real advances in equipment and tactics with survival and punished poor ideas with death. Before long, relatively powerful, heavily armed aircraft buzzed through the skies over battle-stained Europe, tearing each other apart with furious gusts of machine gun fire and sending many of the vaunted dirigibles plunging, burning, to the ground. The new era of fighting aircraft arrived in dramatic fashion, raising successful pilots to celebrity or heroic status, and laying the groundwork for the tremendous potential of airpower to achieve its next logical expansion in World War II and beyond.  
    Rickenbacker's World War I service won him the Medal of Honor, along with more awards for valor than any other person fighting in World War I. But participating in the wars was not nearly enough time in the air for the ambitious Rickenbacker. When he was not setting new records in the air, he was setting new speed records on the ground, most notably as a first-generation race car driver who not only drove cars but designed them.  
    By the time World War II arrived, the fighter airplane was a much different beast than the purpose-built aircraft-hunting machines of 1917 and 1918. Though propellers still provided motive force, greatly increased engine power allowed these aircraft to slice through the sky at speeds of 200 miles per hour (mph), 300 mph, or even in excess of 400 mph when flying flat-out. Service ceilings jumped to 25,000 feet, 30,000 feet, or higher.

    William "Billy" Lendrum Mitchell (December 29, 1879 - February 19, 1936) was a United States Army officer, regarded as the father of the United States Air Force. After serving in France during World War I, Mitchell was appointed deputy director of the Air Service, calling for increased investment in air power which he believed would be vital in future wars. His advocacy antagonized leaders of the US Army and Navy. However, Mitchell demonstrated through a series of Air Force bombing exercises conducted against Naval ships in 1921 and 1923 that his ideas on the superiority of airpower were indeed correct.
