  Do you want to learn how to appeal to people, be happier, healthier, and free? How to Make People Do What You Want will get you started on that wonderful path. 
  Modern life distracts us from what's really important, causing us to forget who we really are. 
  None of us were born with fears, depression, or nervousness. Something in our lives along the line pushes us into a downward spiral, careening into problems left and right. The solutions to these problems may be staring us straight in the face, but unless we try, we'll never figure it out and reach our full potential. For some, dealing with people can be very stressful, but it doesn't have to be! 
  The hangups and baggage that weigh us down need to be set aside, we need to become free. Many kind, caring, and intelligent people repel potential friends, employers, and even future spouses because they're not socially perceptive, they don't understand how to attract friends, and they don't understand what impression their words, actions, and behaviors may give to others. 
  This skill is vital to learn because not one of us is an island, we can try to live by ourselves, but we make life so much more rich, easy, joyous, simple, and relaxed when we work together with friends to reach a common goal. 
  Life doesn't have to be so difficult, the repetitive, boring, stressful, and unpleasant life you probably live is not a necessity—it's up to you, it's your choice. Choose wisely. Doing and learning new things will inherently require us to make changes, big changes, and this will feel uncomfortable. Our "comfort zones" lock us into a cage, a self-made prison that limits us and keeps us away from the unknown. Adventure and pure joy start when we step out of our comfort zones, we embrace the great unknown, and we follow our deepest dreams. 
  You won't want to do this alone.

  The author of Case White offers an extensive history of German and Soviet armored warfare toward the end of World War II. 
   
   
   
  By 1943, after the catastrophic German defeat at Stalingrad, the Wehmacht's panzer armies gradually lost the initiative on the Eastern Front. The tide of the war had turned. Their combined arms technique, which had swept Soviet forces before it during 1941 and 1942, had lost its edge. Thereafter the war on the Eastern Front was dominated by tank-led offensives and, as Robert Forczyk shows, the Red Army's mechanized forces gained the upper hand, delivering a sequence of powerful blows that shattered one German defensive line after another. 
   
   
   
  His incisive study offers fresh insight into how the two most powerful mechanized armies of the Second World War developed their tank tactics and weaponry during this period of growing Soviet dominance. He uses German, Russian, and English sources to provide the first comprehensive overview and analysis of armored warfare from the German and Soviet perspectives. 
   
   
   
  This major study of the greatest tank war in history is compelling listening.

  Joan Lady of Wales - Power &...

  The history of women in medieval Wales before the English conquest of 1282 is one largely shrouded in mystery. This misfortune touches even the most well-known royal woman of the time, Joan of England (d. 1237), the wife of Llywelyn the Great of Gwynedd, illegitimate daughter of King John and half-sister to Henry III. With evidence of her hand in thwarting a full scale English invasion of Wales to a notorious scandal that ended with the public execution of her supposed lover by her husband and her own imprisonment, Joan's is a known, but little-told or understood story defined by family turmoil, divided loyalties and political intrigue. 
   
   
   
  From the time her hand was promised in marriage as the result of the first Welsh-English alliance in 1201 to the end of her life, Joan's place in the political wranglings between England and the Welsh kingdom of Gwynedd was a fundamental one. This first-ever account of Siwan, as she was known to the Welsh, interweaves the details of her life and relationships with a gendered re-assessment of Anglo-Welsh politics by highlighting her involvement in affairs, discussing events in which she may well have been involved but have gone unrecorded and her overall deployment of royal female agency.

  The Examined Run - Why Good...

  Can running make me a more moral person? Can striving to be a better person make me a better runner? 
   
   
   
  In The Examined Run, philosopher and ultramarathon runner Sabrina B. Little asks whether running can be a laboratory for developing our character. She looks at the key ideas in virtue ethics—virtue, vice, exemplarism, moral emotions, and competition—and brings them into conversation with her experience in training and racing. Little pushes against the frequent conversations about ethics and sport that focus on the negative—doping and other forms of cheating or on simplistic expressions like "no pain, no gain." She argues that these ideas don't address the rich picture of how athletics inform a good life, and sport's relationship to acts of justice or courage. A good athlete is not just one who avoids cheating—rather, they perform feats of perseverance and courage, and succeed by working to develop their natural capacities. Little employs her own experiences in training, coaching, and racing in world class ultramarathons to reveal how athletics and virtue are deeply interconnected.
