  It’s time to create a future where feminine power and leadership is celebrated. It’s time for a radical awakening and a revolution. It’s time for women to rise. 
   
  In Women Rising, you’ll discover how to recognise and resist the very real forces of power that limit how you work and live as a woman. Are you tired of being asked to ‘lean in,’ fit in, perform and conform? The truth is that women today continue to be constrained by pervasive ideas about how we ‘should’ act and behave. 
   
  To break free, we need to understand the forces that limit our potential. Those forces are external and internal, without and within, and they sabotage the very success we work so hard for. In Women Rising, author and award-winning empowerment expert Megan Dalla-Camina shows you how to see and cut the invisible strings holding you back. 
   
  Women Rising unveils the 6 external paradoxes that impact how women lead and succeed. You’ll uncover how these power paradoxes affect our visibility, empowerment, confidence, success, motherhood and leadership. 
   
  Turning inward, you’ll discover how our internal narratives, the stories we tell ourselves, can also serve to keep us stuck. Women Rising unmasks 13 archetypes that keep us striving for impossible standards as a Perfectionist, an Overachiever, a Good Girl, a People Pleaser and more. 
   
  Finally, Women Rising illuminates the path forward. It shares real, practical tools and strategies that women everywhere can use to craft a future where we succeed on our own terms. Grounded in leadership experience from the world’s largest organisations, Megan Dalla-Camina’s hands-on toolkit shows you how to find your vision and purpose — and evolve as a confident, authentic leader. 
   
  It's time to rise and to step into your power. This guide will show you how.

  Delivering Destruction -...

  Existing literature maintains that the U.S. Marine Corps' operational success in the Pacific War rested upon two dominant themes: committed theoretical preparation and courageous battlefield action. When Japanese forces attacked at Pearl Harbor in 1941, the Corps sent its brave and spirited infantrymen to advance across the enemy-held islands of the South and Central Pacific. Though this conventional narrative captures essential elements of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps' triumph, it fails to account for substantial interwar deficiencies in fire control and coordination, as well as the critical wartime development of those capabilities between 1942 and 1945. 
   
   
    
  Delivering Destruction is the first detailed study of American triphibious (land, sea, and air) firepower coordination in the Pacific War. In describing the Amphibious Corps' development of fire coordination teams and tactics in the Central Pacific, Hemler underlines the importance of wartime adaptation, battlefield coordination, and the primacy of the human element in naval combat. He reveals the untold story of American fire control and coordination teams in the Central Pacific. Despite advancing technology and expanding "domains" of warfare, combat remains a deeply interactive, human endeavor.

  Hidden History of Texas Volume 1...

  The Hidden History of Texas, Volume 1 - 1530 to 1820 
   
  This is the often-untold story of the history of Texas from when the Spanish first set foot into Texas until they relinquished control to Mexico. This is the story of the original inhabitants of the land and their interactions with both the Europeans they encountered and other indigenous people of the time. The events that took place during that time, laid the groundwork for what was to come. The story is filled with heroes and villains and looked at it through the eyes of the people who lived it. 
    
  It is called the Hidden History of Texas, because if you don’t dig, you’d never know about it or these people. It’s not taught in the schools other than a brief mention of some of the more famous Indian tribes. Without these people and their activities, it is doubtful many of us would be here today.

McLuhan is well-known for his expression "the medium is the message," from his 1964 book, "Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man." He also popularized the term “global village,” and he predicted the World Wide Web almost 30 years before it was invented. This recording is from one of his lectures.
