Sinopse

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.

    Advocates and activists in Singapore contribute to policy discussions and positive change through a combination of deft manoeuvres and patient politics. Yet civil society is often unacknowledged, their skill and labour instead frequently misunderstood, even earning them the label of “troublemakers” or “enemies of the state”. 
 
This collection of essays and interviews is a candid reflection on the intentions, beliefs and strategies behind the practice of advocacy across a spectrum of causes. The contributors come from varying backgrounds and include academics, artists, lawyers, journalists, non-profit and advocacy organisations, student and community organisers. They share practical insights into their aims and community-building work, and the tactics they employ to overcome obstacles, shedding light on how to navigate a city-state with shifting socio-political fault lines and out-of-bound markers. 
 
With an introduction, “It is Time to Trim the Banyan Tree”, by Constance Singam, and a conclusion, “Their Struggle is Ours to Continue”, by Suraendher Kumarr.

    Unholy Traffic An - Slave...

    The Confederate States of America was born in defense of slavery. Between Fort Sumter to Appomattox, Confederates bought and sold thousands African American men, women, and children. These transactions in humanity made the internal slave trade a cornerstone of Confederate society, a bulwark of the Rebel economy, and a central part of the experience of the Civil War for all inhabiting the American South. 
 
 
 
As An Unholy Traffic shows, slave trading helped Southerners survive and fight the Civil War, as well as to build the future for which they fought. They mitigated the crises the war spawned by buying and selling enslaved people, using this commerce to navigate food shortages, unsettled gender roles, the demands of military service, and other hardships on the homefront. Some Rebels speculated wildly in human property, investing in slaves to ward off inflation and to buy shares in the slaveholding nation they hoped to create. Others traded people to counter the advance of emancipation. 
 
 
 
Offering an original perspective on the intersections of slavery, capitalism, the Civil War, and emancipation, Robert K. D. Colby illuminates the place of the peculiar institution within the Confederate mind, the ways in which it underpinned the CSA's war effort, and its impact on those attempting to seize their freedom.
