Sinossi

Underwater Combat explores the multifaceted world of fighting beneath the surface, revealing how the aquatic environment shapes military and sporting strategies. This exploration goes beyond recounting historical events, offering a comprehensive framework for understanding underwater combat effectiveness. From ancient siege tactics to modern special forces, water's influence on combat, movement, and speed is profound. The book uniquely integrates historical analysis with scientific principles, such as fluid dynamics and human physiology, making complex concepts accessible. 

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with the physics of underwater movement, including drag and buoyancy. It then transitions to the evolution of underwater combat tactics, highlighting early frogmen and contemporary underwater demolition teams. Finally, it examines the physiological challenges faced by combatants, such as pressure and oxygen toxicity. 

 
By drawing on historical accounts, technical manuals, and first-hand narratives, Underwater Combat provides valuable insights for military historians, sports enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the demands of underwater operations.

  • Ethics and ontological coaching - cover

    Ethics and ontological coaching

    The practice of ontological coaching finds its roots in the field of ethics, and has come of age there. Ethics provides the raison d'etre and objectives of ontological coaching.
    Almost inevitably, ontological coaching has led many of its practitioners to conclude that the greatest crisis facing men and women today, particularly in the Western world, is a crisis of ethics.
    To find our way out of this crisis we must revisit the foundations of our conception of what it means to be human. In this light, the ontological question becomes the most fundamental one we may ask. How we answer it will shape the way we view the world, those around us, and ourselves — in short, the way we view our lives.
    I have sought to answer this question through the discourse of the ontology of language, whose interpretation of the human experience underpins the practice of ontological coaching. One of its central premises holds that how we act is determined by who we are, but that we also become who we are through our actions. In this way, ontological coaching offers tools that help people to change, to become new human beings who are free from atavistic suffering, who are truly the authors of their own lives. It is the renewed sense of wholeness gained from ontological coaching that allows people to become true social agents capable of contributing to a better world, for themselves and for others.

    "Sripad Jagannatha Dasa guides us into the sacred heart space of this life-changing hymn as only a dedicated lifelong Ram bhakta may. A self-realized yogi - a wonderful trip!." The Yoga Journal 
     
    "I bow to the Hanuman who is swifter than the mind and wind. The sacred one who has controlled his senses, the one who is the epitome of learning and wisdom. Salutations to the son of the God of Air and chief of the Vanaras, I pray always to Lord Hanuman." 
     
    The Hanuman Chalisa is a Vedic devotional hymn (stotra) in praise of Hanuman authored by the poet sage Tulsi Das. The word "ch?l?s?" means the number forty in Sanskrit, as the Hanuman Chalisa has forty verses. Lord Hanuman is a great devotee of Sri Ram and one of the central characters in the epic, Ramayan. Hanuman is also an incarnation of Shiva. The qualities of Hanuman - his strength, courage, wisdom, celibacy, devotion to Lord Ram, and the many names by which he is known are all in the Hanuman Chalisa. Devotional recitation of this sacred prayer is done by millions every day. 
     
    Hanumanji is the greatest devotee of Sri Ram and an incarnation of the mighty Lord Shiva. He is therefore the epitome of ultimate devotion manifested with its full glory unchallenged in all times and places. By the power of his devotion to Sita Ram, he easily achieved supreme status as the perfect devotee and servitor. 
     
    Lord Hanuman is the eternal link between all devotees and Ram whom he serves, inspires, and protects. By honoring Hanuman one is blessed with all kinds of siddhis including power, valor, prosperity, and devotion. 
     
    Reciting or hearing the Hanuman Chalisa infuses one with unlimited energy and prana. This sacred mantra also increases a person's resilience and they emerge victorious in every challenging situation.

  • Women in Ancient Mesopotamia: The History of the Lives and Social Roles of Mesopotamian Women - cover

    Women in Ancient Mesopotamia:...

    Mesopotamia, the land between the rivers, occupied the floodplain of the Tigris and the Euphrates in what is now Iraq. It was not a single state or a single group, but a succession of them, spread across 3,000 years. The Sumerians built the first cities there in the 4th millennium B.C. at Uruk, Ur, and Lagash, and they invented writing, a wedge-shaped cuneiform script pressed into clay, around 3300 B.C. The Akkadians under Sargon built the first major empire in the 24th century B.C. The Babylonians under Hammurabi codified the most famous of ancient law collections in the 18th century B.C., and the Assyrians built a vast and brutal military empire in the north in the 1st millennium B.C. The Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians all had different civilizational characteristics, and the position of women in those societies was not the same among all of them, and those differences could be quite distinct.  
    	What unites the whole, and what makes the history of women possible to study at all, is the clay. The Mesopotamians wrote on tablets of damp clay that hardened and survived, and they wrote in staggering quantity, not only through royal inscriptions and religious hymns, but also the ordinary paperwork of daily life, contracts, receipts, loans, marriage settlements, wills, court records, and private letters. Hundreds of thousands of these tablets survive, and a great many of them concern women, from the business letters of Assyrian merchant wives to the property contracts of Babylonian priestesses, the will of a Sumerian widow, the marriage law of Babylon, and the correspondence of a queen of Mari. The documentary record of Mesopotamian women is one of the richest the ancient world left, and it allows historians to see them not only as the idealized figures of art and myth but as litigants, lenders, weavers, and traders going about their lives.

  • Historia Amoris - A History of Love Ancient and Modern - cover

    Historia Amoris - A History of...

    A history of love as literature has treated it, from the Vedas and Egypt through Greece, Rome, the troubadours and the salons to the nineteenth century. Edgar Saltus wrote in a deliberately jewelled prose that was famous and then unfashionable within his own lifetime. The book is an anthology of attitudes rather than a history, and it is at its best on Provence. Sixty plates after painters including Poussin and Claude Lorrain carry the myths of Jupiter and Juno and the judgment of Paris alongside Saltus's jewelled prose.
