Sinopse

Military Tanks explores the fascinating intersection of mechanical engineering and military history through the lens of tank design and deployment. It details how these armored behemoths have continuously evolved, impacting military strategy from World War I to modern conflicts. The book uniquely connects technological advancements with strategic doctrines, illustrating how tank designs adapt to meet specific tactical and strategic needs. Did you know that the ongoing arms race between offensive and defensive capabilities on the battlefield has spurred constant innovation in armor materials and engine technology? The book's approach begins with the fundamentals of tank design, such as balancing mobility, firepower, and protection. It progresses chronologically, highlighting pivotal designs and technological leaps across different eras. Chapters delve into the interwar period, the rapid advancements during World War II (including gunnery and armor improvements), and the Cold War era marked by composite armor and advanced targeting systems. By examining the tank's adaptability, the book reveals why it remains a vital component of combined arms warfare, even amidst evolving threats. The book culminates with an analysis of contemporary tank warfare, addressing the challenges posed by asymmetric threats. Readers gain valuable insights into the tank's capabilities, limitations, and potential role in future conflicts, making it a valuable resource for military enthusiasts, historians, and students of military technology.

    'Frighteningly, devastatingly real.' - The Post  
    In 2011, following the Taliban siege on Kabul's Intercontinental Hotel, an SAS soldier identified only as Serviceman J was awarded New Zealand's second highest military honour by showing outstanding gallantry in the face of danger. After eighteen years in the New Zealand SAS, ex-commander Jamie Pennell is now ready to tell his story. 
    Having survived the famously tough SAS selection course and excelled during its brutal training, Jamie was sent on four deployments to Afghanistan and played a critical role in New Zealand's operations. From patrols across desert territories run by warlords to hostile fire and near-death combat, Serviceman J is a heart-stopping account of life inside one of the world's most elite military forces.

    Wealth is central to the American pursuit of happiness and is an overriding measure of well-being. Yet wealth is conspicuously absent from African American households. Why do some 3.5 million Black American families have zero or negative wealth? 
     
     
      
    Historian Calvin Schermerhorn traces four hundred years of Black dispossession and decapitalization—what Frederick Douglass called plunder—through the stories of families who have strived to earn and keep the fruits of their toils. Their struggles reveal that the ever-evolving strategies to strip Black income and wealth have been critical to sustaining a structure of racialized disadvantage. These accounts also tell of the quiet heroism of those who worked to overcome obstacles and defy the plunder. 
     
     
      
    From the story of Anthony and Mary Johnson, abducted from Angola and brought to Virginia in 1619, to the enslaved Black workers dispossessed by the Custis-Washington family, to Venture Smith (born Broteer Furro), who purchased his freedom, to three generations of a family enslaved in the South who moved north after Emancipation, to the Tulsa massacre and the subprime lending crisis, Schermerhorn shows that we cannot reckon with today's racial wealth inequality without understanding its unrelenting role in American history.

    "The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind," written by Gustave Le Bon and first published in 1895, is a seminal work in the field of social psychology and the study of mass behavior. Le Bon explores the psychological underpinnings of crowd behavior, arguing that individuals, when part of a crowd, often lose their sense of personal responsibility and individuality. This transformation leads to collective behavior that is fundamentally different from the behavior of the individuals that constitute the crowd.Le Bon identifies several key characteristics of crowds: they are highly suggestible, prone to emotional contagion, and can be easily manipulated by leaders or prevailing ideas. He suggests that crowds operate on a more primitive and instinctual level, where rational thought is often overridden by emotion and a herd mentality. This, he argues, results in behaviors that are often irrational, impulsive, and sometimes violent.The book discusses various types of crowds, including anonymous crowds, organized crowds, and even criminal crowds, examining how their dynamics and psychological profiles differ. Le Bon's work also delves into the historical and social implications of crowd behavior, analyzing how mass movements have shaped political and social landscapes. He uses historical examples to illustrate his points, making connections between his theoretical insights and real-world events."The Crowd" has had a lasting impact on various fields, including sociology, psychology, political science, and even marketing and propaganda. Le Bon's ideas about the power of leaders to influence and control crowds have been both influential and controversial, sparking debates about the nature of mass behavior and the role of individual agency within it. Despite being over a century old, the book's insights remain relevant, offering a profound understanding of the dynamics of group behavior and the psychological mechanisms that drive collective actions.
