Sinopsis

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.

Rational Emotive Behavior...

Vivian Westlake

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a cognitive-behavioral approach developed by Albert Ellis in the 1950s. It represents a revolutionary shift in the field of psychotherapy, aiming not just to alleviate symptoms, but to foster long-lasting change by helping individuals think and behave more rationally. The primary goal of REBT is to help people understand and identify irrational thoughts and beliefs that lead to emotional distress, then replace those beliefs with more rational, functional alternatives.
At its core, REBT rests on the idea that it is not the events themselves that disturb us, but our beliefs about those events. This concept is captured in the ABC model, a foundational element of REBT. According to the model, A stands for the activating event, or the situation that triggers a response. B represents the beliefs we hold about the activating event, which can be either rational or irrational. Finally, C stands for the emotional or behavioral consequences of those beliefs. By recognizing the link between beliefs and emotional outcomes, individuals can learn to challenge and change irrational thoughts that lead to unwanted feelings and behaviors.
REBT operates on the premise that people often hold onto irrational beliefs that are unrealistic, extreme, and unhelpful. These beliefs can be categorized into three core demands: the demand for approval from others, the demand for fairness or justice, and the demand for achievement and success. These irrational demands fuel negative emotions like anxiety, frustration, and depression, leading individuals to feel powerless or inadequate.

John P Slough - The Forgotten...

Richard L. Miller

John Potts Slough, the Union commander at the Battle of Glorieta Pass, lived a life of relentless pursuit for success that entangled him in the turbulent events of mid-nineteenth-century America. As a politician, Slough fought abolitionists in the Ohio legislature and during Kansas Territory's fourth and final constitutional convention. He organized the 1st Colorado Volunteer Infantry after the Civil War broke out, eventually leading his men against Confederate forces at the pivotal engagement at Glorieta Pass. After the war, as chief justice of the New Mexico Territorial Supreme Court, he struggled to reform corrupt courts amid the territory's corrosive Reconstruction politics. 
 
 
 
Slough was known to possess a volcanic temper and an easily wounded pride. These traits not only undermined a promising career but ultimately led to his death at the hands of an aggrieved political enemy who gunned him down in a Santa Fe saloon. Recounting Slough's timeless story of rise and fall during America's most tumultuous decades, historian Richard L. Miller brings to life this extraordinary figure.
