Sinopsis

Stealth Techniques explores the fascinating world of covert operations, examining both the real-world methodologies used by spies and military personnel throughout history and their captivating portrayal in Japanese manga. Delving into the evolution of camouflage, concealment, and infiltration, the book reveals how these tactics have been crucial in military history and espionage.

 
Interestingly, stealth techniques aren't just about physical concealment; they also involve manipulating perception and understanding the psychology of observation, skills vital in both warfare and espionage.

 
The book uniquely bridges the gap between factual military history and fictional storytelling, analyzing how manga artists utilize visual cues and narrative structures to depict stealth operations. It progresses from the fundamental concepts of stealth, drawn from historical military manuals and intelligence agency training programs, to the representation of these concepts in manga, and finally synthesizes these two perspectives to explore the cultural impact of stealth.

 
By examining specific manga titles and artistic techniques, Stealth Techniques demonstrates how visual storytelling amplifies the allure and mystique of espionage, deception, and covert action.

All the Wide Border: Wales...

Mike Parker

A Waterstones Travel Book of the Year 2023
A funny, warm and timely meditation on identity and belonging, following the scenic route along the England–Wales border: Britain’s deepest faultline.
There is a line on the map: to one side Wales, small, rugged and stubborn; on the other England, crucible of the most expansionist culture the world has ever seen. It is a line that has been dug, debated, defined and defended for twenty centuries.
All the Wide Border is a personal journey through the places, amongst the people, and across the divides of the border between England and Wales. Taking in some of our loveliest landscapes, and our darkest secrets, this is a region of immeasurable wonder and interest. It is here that the deepest roots and thorniest paradoxes of Britishness lie. The border between the countries, even as a concept, is ragged, jagged and many-layered.
Garlanded author Mike Parker has adored and explored these places his entire life. Born in England but settled in Wales, he finds himself typical of many in being pulled in both directions. His journey is divided into three legs, corresponding with the watersheds of the three great border rivers: the Dee in the north, the Severn in the centre, the Wye in the south. Neither quite England nor Wales, the furzy borderland he uncovers — the March — is another country.
Picking apart the many notions and clichés of Englishness, Welshness and indeed Britishness, Mike Parker plays with the very idea of borders: our fascination with them, our need for them, and our response to their power. In his hands, the England–Wales frontier is revealed to be a border within us all, and it is fraying, fast.
Mike Parker's All the Wide Border is a compelling exploration of the England-Wales border, blending history and social commentary in a series of insightful essays. This new addition to his collection of travelogues is a top pick for anyone interested in European history and culture.
For fans of Tom Bullough (Sarn Helen), Gavin Ortlund (Why God Makes Sense in a World That Doesn't), Tim Hannigan (The Granite Kingdom), Chloe Dalton (Raising Hare), and Samantha Harvey (The Shapeless Unease).

The Ancient Wisdom of Baseball -...

Christian Sheppard

“For those who love baseball, the game holds deep personal meaning and echoes to the past that are undeniable but often hard to articulate. Christian Sheppard’s The Ancient Wisdom of Baseball is a love letter to baseball that explains its connections to our inner lives and to classical lore in a way that makes one pine for Opening Day.”  —THEO EPSTEIN
 
Who are you, how are you supposed to live, and what about happiness? Answers to age-old questions are offered in classic myths about heroes, gods, and monsters, and at the ballgame.
 
In The Ancient Wisdom of Baseball, author Christian Sheppard interweaves Homer’s epics with glorious stories from the green fields of America’s pastime, celebrating Achilles’ courage and Odysseus’ cunning along with the virtues of Hall of Fame
    players such as Jackie Robinson and Babe Ruth and of great teams such as the 2004 Red Sox and the 2016 Cubs. Along the way, Sheppard humorously recollects trying to raise his baby daughter true to the teachings of ancient myth and his beloved game.
    The result is an endearing, insightful, and inspiring guide to cultivating virtue and becoming the hero of your own life’s odyssey.

When I Grow Up - Coversations...

Moya Sarner

When do you become an adult? What does it mean to grow up? And what are the experiences that propel us forward ? or keep us stuck? 
 
As we get older, we pass many milestones, but for some of us it can feel as if adulthood is always just out of reach. 
 
Journalist and psychotherapist-in-training Moya Sarner goes on a journey into what growing up really involves, and how we do it again and again throughout our lives. She draws on case studies, as well as her training, and theories of child psychology, psychoanalysis, neuroscience, and more, to explore what it means to be a ‘grown up’ and how we can meet the challenges and opportunities of every stage of our lives.

Economic Recovery Program

Ronald Reagan

On February 18, 1981, Reagan laid out his economic recovery program before a Joint Session of Congress. Reagan had previously outlined his recovery program in an Oval Office address on February 5, 1981, in which he displayed a dollar bill and 36 cents to show how inflation had reduced the value of a dollar since 1960.
Reagan made a further plea for enactment of his recovery program on April 28, 1981, following the assassination attempt on his life. Many economists credit this recovery program for reducing the inflation rate and igniting one of the longest and most robust economic expansions in U.S. history.
Reagan paints a grim picture of inflation, the national debt, and lagging productivity plaguing the economy. $41.4 billion of reduced spending is proposed with no reduction for “the poverty stricken, the disabled, the elderly, [and] all those with true need”. Subsidies of the synthetic fuel program, the Export-Import Bank, and the Economic Development Administration are targeted.
Block grants to states are proposed, along with changes to Medicaid, the space program, the Postal Service, and the Department of Energy. To counter the Soviet Union’s military build-up, defense is the one department with an increased budget.
A 10-percent tax cut for individual taxpayers is proposed for each of the next 3 years, along with increased depreciation allowances to allow business the capital needed to modernize.
We “must come to grips with inefficient and burdensome regulations, eliminate those we can and reform the others.”
To reduce inflation and interest rates, we need to slow the growth of our money supply.
This is our proposal for America’s new beginning. “I'm here tonight to ask you to join me in making it our plan.” Government “must not be used to regulate the economy or bring about social change.”
