    A guide to writing transformative nonfiction or inspirational memoir from a 6x author with nearly two decades' experience in the book writing and publishing space. 
    If you’ve ever thought, “I really want to write a book, but…” this book is for you. 
    Despite what you may have heard, becoming a successful author isn’t about having 67,973 Instagram followers, reaching “bestselling” status for seven seconds, or having Beyoncé take your book on tour with her (as amazing as that would be!). 
    It’s about impacting one person so deeply that they can’t help but recommend your book again and again. It’s also about uncovering more of yourself while you tell your story so that your unique light can’t help but shine more brightly upon the world. 
    This practical, thorough guide to writing and publishing nonfiction and memoir helps you: 
    ★ Go from constantly questioning your writing ability, message, and expertise to confidently owning the valuable insights and perspectives you bring to the world 
    ★ Remove overthinking when it comes to how a book “should” come together and instead gain absolute clarity in the book-writing process your favorite authors follow 
    ★ Understand the six lesser-talked-about steps you really need to consider when writing a truly impactful book 
    ★ Get completely clear on your book’s core message, your magnetic hook, and how to speak directly to your target readers with understanding, compassion, and a roadmap that clearly lays out their next steps 
    You don’t need more experience, motivation, or hours in the day to write a book you’re immensely proud of. Once you know what to focus on and how to navigate the avalanche of “But what if…?” that arises along the way, you’ll finally be able to get the damn book written so it can take its rightful place as someone else’s favorite read.

    The first full analysis of the second Nagorno-Karabakh war—the first war in history won primarily by unmanned systems. 
     
     
     
    The second Nagorno-Karabakh war—fought between Armenia and Azerbaijan between September 24 and November 10, 2020—was the first war in history won primarily by unmanned systems. 
     
     
     
    This forty-four-day war resulted in a decisive military victory for Azerbaijan. Armenia was outfought, outnumbered, and outspent and lost even though they controlled the high ground in a mountainous region that favored traditional defense. Azerbaijan's alliance with Turkey, and close technological support from Israel, strategically isolated Armenia. In addition, Turkey's posturing influenced the Russians not to intervene to support Armenia. That Azerbaijan attacked Armenia during the pandemic was an additional factor. The fact that Azerbaijan won the war is not extraordinary, considering the correlation of forces arrayed against Armenia. What is exceptional is that this was the first modern war primarily decided by unmanned weapons. In this war the Turkish-made BAYRAKTAR TB2 Unmanned Air Combat Vehicle (UCAV) and the Israeli-made HAROP Loitering Munition (LM) dominated the fighting and provided Azerbaijan with a war-winning advantage.

    Mass Supervision - Probation...

    We've heard a lot in recent years about the nearly 2.1 million people incarcerated in American prisons and jails. But what about the approximately four million more who are on probation and parole—monitored by the state at great expense and at risk of being sent to prison at the whim of a probation or parole officer for the least imaginable infraction? 
     
     
     
    Vincent Schiraldi was New York City probation commissioner under Mayor Bloomberg, supervising a system charged with monitoring 30,000 people on a daily basis. In Mass Supervision, he combines firsthand experience with deep research on the inadequately explored practices of probation and parole, to illustrate how these forms of state supervision have strayed from their original goal of providing constructive and rehabilitative alternatives to prison. They have become instead, Schiraldi argues, a "recidivism trap" for people trying to lead productive lives in the wake of a criminal conviction. 
     
     
     
    Schiraldi offers the first full and up-to-date account of these two key aspects of our criminal justice system, showing that these practices increase incarceration, have little impact on crime rates, and needlessly disrupt countless lives. Ultimately, he argues that they should be dramatically downsized or even abolished completely.

    A delusion is a strong belief despite evidence to the contrary. The Watergate delusion, embraced by millions, is that Bob Woodward and the left confronted the malevolent Nixon administration and saved democracy. But the actual evidence demonstrates that Watergate was not a shining example of democracy, and Bob Woodward’s place among journalistic immortals is a grift. 
    The Truth About Watergate demonstrates that Nixon’s enemies on the right initially had the means, motive, and opportunity. It exposes Woodward’s Big Lie about Alexander Haig and its seismic implications, challenging the synergistic mythologies of Bob Woodward and “Deep Throat.” Discover the extraordinary lies and liars of Watergate and the fervent motives of The Washington Post for banishing revisionist books to the conspiracy theory ghetto.

    This book is for those navigating significant life transitions, those who are Crossing Between Worlds. This book is your guide.  
    These periods of change, often prompted by loss, crisis, or a desire for personal growth, can be unsettling. Yet this is an invitational season, waiting for you to become who you really are, to come fully alive.  
    Instead of forcing ideas that were not designed specifically for you, this book challenges conventional wisdom and examines 15 paradoxes to help you find your own unique path, depending on the specific season of your life. Crossing Between Worlds provides the much needed scaffolding to align your natural tendencies, nurture your unique gifts and allow yourself to move, and be moved, towards a new world so that you get to share this gift with others. 
    Drawing from his teaching and clinical experience, Daryl provides a personalisable roadmap filled with poignant anecdotes, practical wisdom, and persuasive strategies for navigating life’s seemingly contradictory forces (e.g., Should I focus on the present, or the future? Should I learn to say “Yes,” or “No”).
