Sinossi

"Armored Vehicle History" presents a comprehensive journey through the evolution of military armored vehicles, from World War I's rudimentary armored cars to today's sophisticated main battle tanks. This authoritative work expertly weaves together the technological, tactical, and strategic aspects of armored warfare, demonstrating how battlefield needs drove innovation and how these mechanical giants revolutionized modern military operations.

 
The book meticulously traces the development of key technological advances, such as the introduction of sloped armor during World War II and the continuous improvements in suspension systems and engine power. Through detailed case studies and technical specifications drawn from military archives and engineering documents, readers gain insight into how each major conflict catalyzed new developments in armor design and combat effectiveness.

 
The author skillfully balances technical detail with operational analysis, making complex engineering concepts accessible to both military historians and mechanical engineering enthusiasts. Progressing chronologically, the narrative explores the foundational principles of armored vehicle design before delving into the evolution of tank doctrine and modern combat operations.

 
What sets this work apart is its holistic approach, examining not just main battle tanks but the entire spectrum of armored vehicles, including infantry fighting vehicles and specialized platforms. The book concludes by addressing contemporary challenges, such as the role of heavy armor in asymmetric warfare, making it an invaluable resource for understanding both the history and future of mechanized warfare.

    On February 4, 1974, members of the Symbionese Liberation Army kidnapped nineteen-year-old newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst from her Berkeley, California, apartment. Desperate to find her, the police called physicist Russell Targ and Pat Price, a psychic retired police commissioner. As Price turned the pages of the police mug book filled with hundreds of photos, suddenly he pointed to one of them and announced, “That’s the ringleader.” The man was Donald DeFreeze, who was indeed subsequently so identified. Price also described the type and location of the kidnap car, enabling the police to find it within minutes. That remarkable event is one reason Targ believes in ESP. Another occurred when his group made $120,000 by forecasting for nine weeks in a row the changes in the silver-commodity futures market. 
     
    As a scientist, Targ demands proof. His experience is based on two decades of investigations at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), which he cofounded with physicist Harold Puthoff in 1972. This twenty-million-dollar program launched during the Cold War was supported by the CIA, NASA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and Army and Air Force Intelligence. The experiments they conducted routinely presented results that could have happened by chance less than once in a million. Targ describes four types of experiments: remote viewing, distant mental influence, whole-field isolation, and precognition and retrocausality. He also presents evidence for survival after death; explains how ESP works based on the Buddhist/Hindu view of ourselves as nonlocal, eternal awareness; discusses the ethics of exercising psychic abilities; and shows us how to explore ESP ourselves. “I am convinced,” Targ says, “that most people can learn to move from their ordinary mind to one not obstructed by conventional barriers of space and time. Who would not want to try that?”

    The Care Divide by Dr. Christopher Voss reveals how healthcare systems shape lives, opportunity, and dignity. 
    Through two vivid stories—Ava, growing up in America’s fragmented system, and Zoe, raised with universal coverage—Dr. Voss shows the stark contrast between fear and freedom. Ava’s life is defined by delayed treatments, surprise bills, and chronic conditions that derail her future. Zoe’s is marked by seamless care, early support, and the freedom to pursue her dreams without fear of losing coverage. 
    Blending human stories with meticulous research, The Care Divide exposes the costs of America’s system: physicians burned out by bureaucracy, families bankrupted by illness, and entrepreneurs trapped in jobs for insurance. In contrast, universal systems worldwide deliver healthier outcomes, stronger communities, and security across generations. 
    More than a policy critique, this book is a call to action. With compassion and clarity, Dr. Voss urges us to envision a future where no one must choose between health and financial security. 
    The Care Divide is essential reading for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and citizens who believe care is a human right. It will open your eyes, stir your heart, and inspire you to join the movement for a system that leaves no one behind.

    A philosophical approach to the enigma of nature and the universe approached through observation, meditation, and logical analysis of material phenomena.   Written in accessible language for the general reader, The Origin of the Universe expounds on a theory that Jan Aleksander Piasecki developed from a synthesis of data he accumulated over the years. He discusses world forces and how they combine and operate to create the universe and matter, and all living things in it. A special section discusses the soul, its design and destiny.   Attributing everything in the universe to the impact and expansion of the heat entity and the resistance and pressure of the cold entity, Piasecki moves through time and space to explain the creation of the sun, the solar system, atmosphere, water, and living forms. He draws a connection from outside forces to that which animates every “self-moving form” from within: the soul, imbued with the knowledge of its own being.   From molecules to the moon, The Origin of the Universe takes readers on a journey through the mysteries of life, those with a finite existence and those that may endure forever . . .
