Summary

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.

    Dictionary of the Undoing

    This program is read by the author.For John Freeman—literary critic, essayist, editor, poet, “one of the preeminent book people of our time” (Dave Eggers)—it is the rare moment when words are not enough. But in the wake of the election of 2016, words felt useless, even indulgent. Action was the only reasonable response. He took to the streets in protest, and the sense of community and collective conviction felt right. But the assaults continued—on citizens’ rights and long-held compacts, on the core principles of our culture and civilization, and on our language itself. Words seemed to be losing the meanings they once had and Freeman was compelled to return to their defense. The result is his Dictionary of the Undoing.From A to Z, “Agitate” to “Zygote,” Freeman assembled the words that felt most essential, most potent, and began to build a case for their renewed power and authority, each word building on the last. The message that emerged was not to retreat behind books, but to emphatically engage in the public sphere, to redefine what it means to be a literary citizen.With an afterword by Valeria Luiselli, Dictionary of the Undoing is a necessary, resounding cri de coeur in defense of language, meaning, and our ability to imagine, describe, and build a better world.

    What happens when an entire community is moved?  
     
    Dakota Crescent was one of Singapore's oldest public housing estates and a rental flat neighbourhood for low-income households. In 2016, its residents—many of whom are elderly—were relocated to Cassia Crescent to make way for redevelopment. To help them resettle, a group of volunteers came together and formed the Cassia Resettlement Team. 
     
    They Told Us to Move tells the story of the relocation through interviews with the residents from the Dakota community and reflections by the volunteers. Accompanying these are essays by various academics on urban planning; gender and family; ageing, poverty, and social services; civil society and citizenship; and architectural heritage and place-making. Through this three-part conversation, the book explores human stories of devotion, expectation, and remembrance. It asks what we can achieve through voluntary action and how we can balance self-reliance and public services. 
     
    This book is for people who want to understand the kind of society we are, and question what kind of society we want to be.

    Edward II - The Unconventional King

    He is one of the most reviled English kings in history. He drove his kingdom to the brink of civil war a dozen times in less than twenty years. He allowed his male lovers to rule the kingdom. He led a great army to the most ignominious military defeat in English history. His wife took a lover and invaded his kingdom, and he ended his reign wandering around Wales with a handful of followers, pursued by an army. He was the first king of England forced to abdicate his throne. Popular legend has it that he died screaming impaled on a red-hot poker, but in fact the time and place of his death are shrouded in mystery. His life reads like an Elizabethan tragedy, full of passionate doomed love, bloody revenge, jealousy, hatred, vindictiveness, and obsession. He was Edward II, and this book tells his story. Using almost exclusively fourteenth-century sources and Edward's own letters and speeches wherever possible, Kathryn Warner strips away the myths which have been created about him over the centuries, and provides a far more accurate and vivid picture of him than has previously been seen.
