    A light narrative of most of the major military engagements of the Greek and Roman worlds, from Marathon to the demise of Attila the Hun, intended for the use of young people. Church takes a fairly straight-forward view of history, plainly indicating that in each instance the outcome was ultimately 'for the best.' 
    In this thrilling collection of tales, the author takes readers on a captivating journey through the wars of ancient Greece and Rome. With vivid descriptions of battles, tactics, and strategies, as well as insights into the personalities and motivations of the men and women who fought in these epic conflicts, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in military history and the ancient world. 
    I have told again in this volume some familiar stories, using mostly the original authorities, but availing myself, where it was possible, of the help of Plutarch, whose biographies are always rich in picturesque details. These narratives never lose their interest, and they have this special significance, that they illustrate what we all at least desire to believe, that results of abiding good come out of the losses and sorrows of war. I have sought to draw out this thought with some detail in my Epilogue. 
    A Must Listen to for any fan of history who is interested in macro histories of Ancient Europe concentrating on Greece, Carthage and Rome. It also contains details of Caesar's campaigns, Hannibal, Hasdrubal and the slow fall of the Roman Empire

    Unfinished Concrete: An Audio-Anthology of Miami Voices is a collection of poems, stories, micro-essays, and conversations that speak to and from Miami’s neighborhoods—each one a unique place with its own sounds, sights, and rhythms. The storytellers in this anthology grapple with the complexity that comes from a lifetime in a place and all the attending struggles and victories—the deep love and unspeakable sorrow—the well-worn aches and the inveterate joys. While the result is a rich narrative of the current moment in Miami-Dade county, these stories speak, too, of the personal and structural histories that have led to this moment, to these stories and experiences. In this way, the individual stories in Unfinished Concrete manage to piece together a mosaic of Miami that speaks to an authentic lived experience. 
    About the Publisher: 
    O, Miami builds community around the power of poetry. Through collaborations, projects, events, and publications, we create a platform for amplifying Miami’s voices, investing in a new shared narrative of our city and a more equitable picture of its future.

    Dismissals such as "boys will be boys" and "not all men" are ingrained in our world. And the purity culture of our youth sold the same excuses with a spiritual spin. Can we break the toxic cycle and recover a healthy identity for men? 
     
     
     
    In Non-Toxic Masculinity, Zachary Wagner tells men, "If you are in Christ, this is your problem—and you should be part of the solution." 
     
     
     
    Reflecting on his own coming of age in the purity culture movement and ongoing recovery from sexual shame, Wagner confronts harmful teaching from the American church that has distorted desire, sex, relationships, and responsibility. For those—both men and women—who feel disillusioned and adrift, this book offers a renewed vision for Christian male sexuality founded in empathy and selflessness.

    The story of the Marathas starts with Shivaji for most of us. The action happened in what is called the Deccan and its geography and politics plays an important role.
