    When Katherine Miller was first asked to train chefs to be advocates, she thought the idea was ludicrous. But she quickly learned that chefs and other leaders in the restaurant industry are some of the most powerful forces for change in our troubled food system. Chefs are leading hunger relief efforts, supporting local farmers, fighting food waste, confronting racism and sexism in the industry, and much more. 
 
 
 
In At the Table, Miller shares the essential techniques she developed for the James Beard Foundation's Chefs Boot Camp for Policy and Change. Listeners will learn how to focus their philanthropic efforts; pinpoint their audience and develop their argument; recruit allies and support action; and maybe most importantly, grab people's attention in a crowded media landscape. 
 
 
 
Miller also shares the moving stories of chefs who used these skills to create lasting change. Chefs from around the country pushed Congress to provide financial relief to the restaurant industry at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
 
 
 
At the Table is filled with inspiration for anyone who has ever wanted to make a difference outside the four walls of their restaurant.

    The Norman Conquest of England in 1066 was not an isolated event but the culmination of complex political, social, and military developments. Understanding the factors that led to this momentous invasion requires an exploration of the Anglo-Saxon world, the rise of Normandy, and the political landscape that shaped the conflict. 
By the mid-11th century, England was a prosperous but politically volatile kingdom. The Anglo-Saxon rule, established centuries earlier, had seen periods of stability and turmoil. King Edward the Confessor, who reigned from 1042 to 1066, was deeply religious but lacked a direct heir, leading to uncertainty about the kingdom’s future. His court was divided between powerful noble factions, including Earl Harold Godwinson, one of England’s most influential figures. This internal division made England vulnerable to external threats. 
At the same time, Normandy, a powerful duchy in northern France, had been rising as a formidable force under the leadership of Duke William. The Normans, originally descended from Viking settlers, had adopted French customs, built strong political institutions, and developed an efficient military system. William, known for his ambition and strategic mind, had a close relationship with Edward the Confessor, who had supposedly promised him the English throne. However, this claim was disputed, setting the stage for conflict.

    Fighting From Above - A Combat...

    The story of the United States Air Force (USAF) stretches back to aerial operations prior to the First World War and looks forward to a new era of airpower in space. Fighting from Above presents a concise account of this history, offering a new perspective on how the air forces of the United States created an independent way of warfare over time. 
 
 
 
From the earliest battles of the USAF's predecessor organizations to its modern incarnation, Brian D. Laslie identifies four distinct ways of war that developed over four distinct epochs. Beginning with the development of early air power (1906–1941), he highlights the creation of roles and missions. An era of strategic dominance (1942–1975) followed in which the ideas of strategic bombardment ruled the air force; when such notions were unceremoniously proven false during the Vietnam-era conflicts, a period of tactical ascendancy (1975–2019) began. Finally, Laslie considers the current environment, where much of the story of the USAF remains unwritten as it grapples with the prospects and challenges posed by drones and the U.S. Space Force. 
 
 
 
While detailing combat operations, Fighting from Above also pays close attention to technology, politics, rivalries, logistics, policy, organization, equipping, and training. It is an authoritative history of the development of American airpower.
