Summary

What is Early Modern Warfare
 
Early modern warfare is the era of warfare following medieval warfare. It is associated with the start of the widespread use of gunpowder and the development of suitable weapons to use the explosive, including artillery and firearms; for this reason the era is also referred to as the age of gunpowder warfare. This entire period is contained within the Age of Sail, which characteristic dominated the era's naval tactics, including the use of gunpowder in naval artillery.

Embark on a transformative journey through the history of humanity with this succinct and insightful summary of Yuval Noah Harari's acclaimed work, "Sapiens." Distilling the essence of Harari's groundbreaking narrative, this guide invites readers to explore the creation, evolution, and impact of Homo sapiens on the world.
"Sapiens" delves deep into our past, tracing the steps of humanity from the appearance of modern cognition about 70,000 years ago to our current dominance as the sole surviving species of human on Earth. Harari’s work stands out for its integration of history and biology, challenging conventional narratives and encouraging readers to consider humanity’s role in the global ecosystem, the rise and fall of empires, and the potential futures that await us.
This summary encapsulates the key themes and insights of "Sapiens," offering a clear and concise exploration of how biology and history have intertwined to shape our understanding of what it means to be human. From examining our impact on the planet to contemplating the ethical implications of our increasing power to design the world and ourselves, this guide provides a thought-provoking overview of Harari’s revolutionary ideas.
Ideal for fans of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem, this summary provides a doorway to understanding humanity's past, present, and potential future.

Unmasked - COVID Community and...

Emily Mendenhall

Unmasked is the story of what happened in Okoboji, a small Iowan tourist town, when a collective turn from the coronavirus to the economy occurred in the COVID summer of 2020. State political failures, local negotiations among political and public health leaders, and community (dis)belief about the virus resulted in Okoboji being declared a hotspot just before the Independence Day weekend, when an influx of half a million people visit the town. 
 
 
 
The story is both personal and political. Author Emily Mendenhall, an anthropologist at Georgetown University, grew up in Okoboji, and her family still lives there. As the events unfolded, Mendenhall was in Okoboji, where she spoke formally with over 100 people and observed a community that rejected public health guidance, revealing deep-seated mistrust in outsiders and strong commitments to local thinking. Unmasked is a fascinating and heartbreaking account of where people put their trust, and how isolationist popular beliefs can be in America's small communities.

Rare Earth Elements & Critical...

Dr. Nick Coman, I. A.I.

A 36‑lecture audio course on the materials that run the modern world—from ore bodies and brines to magnets, batteries, chips, and reactors. Each lecture focuses on one element or mineral, tracing its journey from deposit geology through beneficiation and refining to the devices it powers.
We make the flowsheet legible: comminution and flotation; roasting, high‑pressure acid leaching, solvent extraction, and ion exchange; separation to oxides and metals; alloying and specialty powders. See how neodymium‑iron‑boron magnets are born, why lithium hexafluorophosphate matters in electrolytes, where gallium nitride wins in power, how graphite anodes evolve with silicon, and how the uranium fuel cycle and vanadium flow batteries actually work.
Markets and politics are treated as engineering constraints. Learn to spot yield killers, read offtake agreements, and separate strategic scarcity from narrative. Test real substitutions—ferrites in small motors, sodium‑ion for short‑range storage, gallium nitride versus silicon carbide—and where performance cliffs block redesign. We map chokepoints beyond the mine: separation capacity, reagents, waste handling, water and energy intensity, and manufacturer qualification cycles. Then we follow the consequences—export controls and quotas, permitting and community consent, tariffs and friend‑shoring, standards and labeling rules.
Rigorous, narrative‑driven, and built for the intellectually ambitious, this course is an operator’s guide to the science, supply chains, and statecraft of a materials‑constrained century.

Stellar Science - The Mystery of...

Steff Jaywan

This book consists of two titles, which are the following: 
Stellar Evolution - Stellar evolution refers to the process by which a star changes over the course of time. This field of astrophysics studies the formation, life, and death of stars, which involves a series of complex physical processes and transformations. Here, we outline the key stages and concepts in stellar evolution. 
Supernovae - Supernovae are incredibly powerful explosions that occur at the end of a star's life cycle, during which the star undergoes a dramatic increase in brightness, often outshining an entire galaxy for a brief period. They can occur through various mechanisms, such as the collapse of massive stars or the thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs in binary systems. Supernovae play a crucial role in the evolution of galaxies, as they distribute heavy elements and trigger the formation of new stars and planetary systems.
