Beschreibung

Combat Armor explores the fascinating evolution of personal protection, from the armor of medieval knights to the futuristic designs seen in manga. Bridging military history and design, the book delves into the science, cultural impact, and enduring appeal of armor. One intriguing area examined is how historical armor’s limitations influenced the development of military strategies. Additionally, the book investigates how manga artists conceptualize next-generation personal defense systems, blending technological possibilities with creative expression.

 
The book is structured in three parts, beginning with fundamental concepts of armor protection, then examining the evolution of real-world armor chronologically, from Roman infantry to World War II flak jackets. Finally, the book analyzes combat armor design in manga. This approach provides a unique perspective by directly comparing historical and speculative designs, offering a deeper understanding of the technological and cultural forces shaping our understanding of personal protection.

    Dole briefly sketches the history of life, and shows how it has a definite direction - toward the survival of the kind and gentle people. It's a challenging, and quite persuasive argument, and also a much needed one in light of the dog-eat-dog theories out there. Dole shows that in our evolving society, our traditional understanding of "survival of the fittest" needs to be updated. A book that was way ahead of its time, yet so suited to it. Some may argue that - since he was writing The Coming People before the first two world wars - that he was obviously wrong. However, his argument remains valid given current scientific evidence cited in such books as "Evolution and Empathy", and "The Age of Empathy", and it's noteworthy that he wrote another book after World War I (see, A Religion for the New Day, 1920, where he states that while society is still quite barbaric, he retains his powerful conviction that it "is improving and improvable". ). Also, Dole points to the many flaws of his time (and ours too), and stresses the need to fix them in a peaceful, intelligent manner. Many of the issues he grappled with remain just as strong today, and he stated that it might be such. "The Coming People" is a universal, important message, and will continue to find home in the hearts of agnostics, believers, and atheists (at least for its strong social argument).

    "An inspiring starting point for Christians looking to put their beliefs into action."--Publishers Weekly 
     
    Political and cultural wars are tearing communities apart. Issues such as immigration, racism, and guns are driving wedges between people and hampering Christians' impact in the world. 
     
    In Empowered to Repair, Brenda Salter McNeil looks to the biblical story of Nehemiah for answers. There, she finds an action-based model for repairing and rebuilding our communities and transforming broken systems. 
     
    McNeil goes beyond theories, offering practical tools Christians need for organizing, empowering, and activating people to join in God's work of equality, reparations, and justice. She provides strategies to drive systemic changes that go beyond superficial diversity and teaches the skills needed to engage in this important work long-term, such as organizing people, leveraging resources, and avoiding burnout through rest, prayer, and self-care. 
     
    Learning from Nehemiah, readers will be emboldened to go out and help build congregations, organizations, and communities where all people can flourish and reach their full, God-given potential.
