Sinossi

In "Germany's Fighting Machine," Ernest F. Henderson meticulously examines the structure and evolution of the German military system during the early 20th century, focusing on its strategies, technologies, and sociopolitical underpinnings. Written with a blend of rigorous historical analysis and accessible prose, Henderson's work situates the German military within the broader context of European conflicts, particularly World War I. He dissects the enigma of military efficiency and how ideological fervor fueled Germany's wartime ambitions, employing both primary sources and contemporaneous accounts to illuminate the complex relationship between state apparatus and military might. Ernest F. Henderson, a noted historian and author, holds a profound understanding of military history, likely rooted in his academic background and personal experiences in wartime Europe. His insightful analysis in this book can be traced to his desire to unravel the intricacies of military power dynamics and their implications on national identity and policy. This work reflects not only academic rigor but also Henderson's intent to inform readers about the lessons of history, prompting critical reflections on militarism and statecraft. "Germany's Fighting Machine" is essential reading for students, scholars, and general readers interested in military history, European studies, and the factors that drive nations to conflict. Henderson'Äôs thorough investigation and engaging narrative reveal the catastrophic consequences of militarization, making the book a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of war on society and governance.

Wonderstruck - How Wonder and...

Helen De Cruz

Wonder and awe lie at the heart of life's most profound questions. Wonderstruck shows how these emotions respond to our fundamental need to make sense of ourselves and everything around us, and how they enable us to engage with the world as if we are experiencing it for the first time. 
 
 
 
Drawing on the latest psychological insights on emotions, Helen De Cruz argues that wonder and awe are emotional drives that motivate us to inquire and discover new things, and that humanity has deliberately nurtured these emotions in cultural domains such as religion, science, and magic. Tracing how wonder and awe unify philosophy, the humanities, and the sciences, De Cruz provides new perspectives on figures such as Plato, Aristotle, Adam Smith, William James, Rachel Carson, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Abraham Heschel. Along the way, she explains how these singular emotions empower us to be open-minded, to experience joy and hope, and to be resilient in the face of personal troubles and global challenges. 
 
 
 
Taking inspiration from Descartes's portrayal of wonder as "that sudden surprise of the soul," this illuminating book reveals how wonder and awe are catalysts that can help us reclaim what makes life worth living and preserve the things we find wonderful and valuable in our lives.

Ernst Cassirer - The Last...

Edward Skidelsky

This is the first English-language intellectual biography of the German-Jewish philosopher Ernst Cassirer (1874-1945), a leading figure on the Weimar intellectual scene and one of the last and finest representatives of the liberal-idealist tradition. Edward Skidelsky traces the development of Cassirer's thought in its historical and intellectual setting. He presents Cassirer, the author of The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms, as a defender of the liberal ideal of culture in an increasingly fragmented world, and as someone who grappled with the opposing forces of scientific positivism and romantic vitalism. Cassirer's work can be seen, Skidelsky argues, as offering a potential resolution to the ongoing conflict between the "two cultures" of science and the humanities--and between the analytic and continental traditions in philosophy. The first comprehensive study of Cassirer in English in two decades, this book will be of great interest to analytic and continental philosophers, intellectual historians, political and cultural theorists, and historians of twentieth-century Germany.

The Seven Years’ War - History...

Kelly Mass

The Seven Years' War (1756–1763) marked a global struggle for supremacy between two major powers of the time: Great Britain and France. This conflict unfolded across continents and influenced various colonial and European theaters, laying the groundwork for modern geopolitics. In Europe, tensions stemmed from unresolved disputes left over from the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–1748), with Prussia and Austria both vying for dominance in the region. At the heart of the European conflict was Prussia's ambition to expand its territories, particularly in Silesia, a region it had claimed during the previous war but which Austria hoped to reclaim. This struggle for control in Central Europe was entangled with the broader power plays of Britain, France, and Spain, who were clashing both on land and at sea in the Americas, the Caribbean, and beyond. 
This era saw an unusual shift in traditional alliances, known as the Diplomatic Revolution of 1756, which realigned European powers in surprising ways. Britain, traditionally at odds with Prussia, now found itself allied with its former rival, forming a coalition that included the German region of Hanover, which was united with Britain through the British royal family. Austria, in turn, formed a new alliance with France, its former adversary, bringing along Saxony, Sweden, and Russia in a united front against Prussian and British expansion. This shift altered the balance of power and further complicated the war’s dynamics, as each nation was not only defending its territories but also striving to outmaneuver and contain its rivals.
