Summary

Persian Army Formation examines how a relatively small kingdom built an empire spanning from the Indus Valley to the Balkans through its sophisticated military organization. This World History book delves into the Achaemenid military, highlighting its command structure, logistical support, and tactical doctrines. Did you know the Persian army wasn't just about brute force? It was also about efficient resource management, exemplified by the Royal Road, facilitating troop and supply movement.

 
The book progresses from the historical context of the Achaemenid dynasty to detailed analyses of troop composition, including the elite Immortals and varied regional contingents. It further explores the logistical networks sustaining the army, demonstrating how infrastructure projects played a pivotal role. The Persian army's success stemmed from its sophisticated organization, efficient logistics, and adaptable command system, not mere numerical superiority. This meticulous approach sets this History Military book apart.

 
This Military History book integrates military history with socio-economic and political analysis, offering a comprehensive understanding of the Achaemenid military machine. By examining how the tribute system and resource management contributed to military strength, the book provides a holistic view suitable for both scholars and enthusiasts.

    In this short paper Paula Eleta explores the theme of the value of the puppet in the pedagogical field, mainly in early childhood (0-6 years), as an effective tool to improve the quality of the educational service through play. Under the direction of the educator, the puppet can become an excellent ”assistant” to build new educational contexts, able to offer all those who live in the services different accesses to a common and shared space. The puppet can help to found a more inclusive ”school”, giving voice and listening to the past, experiences, knowledge and skills of the various actors involved: children (first of all), families, educators, pedagogical coordinators and other subjects of their own territory. ”The puppet as an educational tool value” is a written text in an accessible and immediate form. Furthermore, the topics covered have been elaborated on the basis of the author`s long experience in the field. The content is therefore full of concrete and enlightening examples and, among the many proposed activities to be carried out, there is an easy and quick technique to build puppet characters: an activity that can be performed, at the various educational services, both together with families and children (with the support of adults).
