Sinopsis

Nubian Fortress Plans explores the sophisticated military architecture of Nubian fortresses along the Nile River, revealing their strategic importance in ancient warfare and society. These fortresses weren't mere defensive structures; they served as instruments of control, communication, and resource management. One intriguing aspect is how the Nubians adapted their designs to the unique geography, such as utilizing cataracts and islands for enhanced defense, showcasing their ingenuity in the face of constant threats from Egypt and internal conflicts.

 
The book argues that Nubian fortresses represent a distinct adaptation of military architecture, tailored to their specific environment and challenges, rather than simple imitations of Egyptian designs. By examining the strategic placement, internal layouts, and tactical advantages of these fortresses, the book provides a detailed analysis of Nubian military and social strategies.

 
The book progresses from establishing the historical foundation to analyzing fortress locations, dissecting layouts, and assessing tactical advantages, relying on archaeological data from sites like Buhen and Mirgissa to support its claims.

Riding With Cochise brings the violent drama of the American Southwest to life through the eyes of the legendary Apache chieftain Cochise and three other tribal leaders. Relying largely on the oral histories told by relatives of these great warriors as well as personal diaries of others who were involved, veteran author Steve Price takes listeners deep into the Cochise Stronghold, through Massacre Canyon, and across Apache Pass. You'll sit beside the campfires of Tom Jeffords, the only white man Cochise ever fully trusted, and touch the faded stone walls of Fort Craig, the rock cairns at Dragoon Springs, and the cottonwoods at Ojo Caliente. You'll be with General George Crook and Lt. Charles Gatewood as they pursue Geronimo through New Mexico, Arizona and even into Mexico's Sierra Madre, and learn how a handful of Apache warriors could disappear into open desert, ride and sleep on horseback, and outwit thousands of American and Mexican troops for months at a time. Thoroughly researched and written in easy but fast-paced storytelling style, Riding With Cochise presents a sweeping history of how one Native American tribe fought desperately to keep its land and its culture in the face of America's westward expansion known as Manifest Destiny, then spent twenty-seven years in exile and captivity before finally being allowed to return to their beloved homeland.

“Take it off. Show your body for the camera.” 
My boyfriend watches as the straight cowboy stud films my naked, muscular body. This all began when the country boy showed us his guns—his rifles and his biceps. 
He called us disobedient sissies. He said he could fix us. 
We fell to our knees for him. He locked us into chastity and began feeding us a diet laced with his seed. 
He’s reprogramming us. 
Now he’s our master and we’re his devoted servants. We live to serve straight alpha males.

Grace Brewster Hopper (December 9, 1906 to January 1, 1992) was an American computer scientist, mathematician, and United States Navy rear admiral. A pioneer of computer programming, Hopper was the first to devise the theory of machine-independent programming languages and used this theory to develop the FLOW-MATIC programming language and COBOL, an early high-level programming language still in use today. She was also one of the first programmers on the Harvard Mark I computer. She is credited with writing the first computer manual, "A Manual of Operation for the Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator." The following audio recording is from a 1982 presentation.
