  “Bombing to Win is a critically important book.” —Navel War College Review 
   
  From Iraq to Bosnia to North Korea, the first question in American foreign policy debates is increasing: Can air power alone do the job? Robert A. Pape provides a systematic answer. 
   
  Analyzing the results of over thirty air campaigns, including a detailed reconstruction of the Gulf War, he argues that the key to success is attacking the enemy’s military strategy, not its economy, people, or leaders. Coercive air power can succeed, but not as cheaply as air enthusiasts would like to believe. 
   
  Pape examines the air raids on Germany, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq as well as those of Israel versus Egypt, providing details of bombing and governmental decision-making. His detailed narratives of the strategic effectiveness of bombing range from the classical cases of World War II to an extraordinary reconstruction of airpower use in the Gulf War, based on recently declassified documents. 
   
  In the first major book since the Vietnam War on the theory and practice of airpower and its political effects, Robert A. Pape helps policy makers judge the purpose of various air strategies, and helps general readers understand the policy debates. 
   
  This audiobook is expertly read by Lee Goettl, with audio engineering by Sam Platt. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

  The New Empire of AI - The...

  As AI takes hold across the planet and wealthy nations seek to position themselves as global leaders of this new technology, the gap is widening between those who benefit from it and those who are subjugated by it. As Rachel Adams shows in this hard-hitting book, growing inequality is the single biggest threat to the transformative potential of AI. Not only is AI built on an unequal global system of power, it stands poised to entrench existing inequities, further consolidating a new age of empire. 
   
   
   
  AI's impact on inequality will not be experienced in poorer countries only: it will be felt everywhere. The effects will be seen in intensified international migration as opportunities become increasingly concentrated in wealthier nations; in heightened political instability and populist politics; and in climate-related disasters caused by an industry blind to its environmental impact across supply chains. 
   
   
   
  We need to act now to address these issues. Only if the current inequitable trajectory of AI is halted, the incentives changed, and the production and use of AI decentralized from wealthier nations will AI be able to deliver on its promise to build a better world for all.

  Women Walking - Contemporary...

  Join bestselling author Kerri Andrews and ten other women as they each narrate walks that will challenge, inspire and fascinate you.
  Following on from Kerri Andrews' bestselling book Wanderers, which retold the history of walking through ten women, Women, Walking is an agenda-setting, contemporary exploration of women setting foot outdoors now, and what that means. This groundbreaking collection brings together many of the most prominent and exciting voices of the last decade across poetry, fiction, essays and journalism: Anna Fleming, Anita Sethi, Beatrice Searle, Gail Simmons, Helen Mort, Josie Giles, Kate Davis, Katharine Norbury, Linda Cracknell and Polly Atkin.
  From an evocative and moving account by Beatrice Searle on walking with her mother to Gail Simmons celebrating the low-key wonders of the incidental walks we take every day, from Linda Cracknell on her walk to the shops – when the shops are two days' walk away – and the enjoyment of the changing landscape she passes through to Kate Davis on why walking matters more when disability prevents you from doing it 'properly', this rich collection rewrites the notion that walking is always vigorous, enjoyable and universal. Instead, it confirms the importance of every kind of walking as a political and creative act of belonging. Moving and radical, Women, Walking challenges our notions of what walking is, and who it is for – and encourages us all to get outside, know our surroundings and find our voice.
