Sinopse

Siege Warfare Engineering unveils the intricate blend of mechanical engineering, military history, and psychological warfare that defined historical sieges. More than just brute force, successful sieges relied on sophisticated engineering to design fortifications and develop siege engines like trebuchets and catapults. The book reveals how psychological tactics, such as propaganda and attrition, were employed to undermine defenders' morale. 

 
The book systematically explores the structural, psychological, and tactical elements of sieges. It begins with the fundamentals, then delves into the engineering of fortifications and siege engines, and finally examines psychological techniques. By drawing from historical accounts, archaeological findings, and engineering analyses, the book demonstrates how these elements intertwined to shape the outcome of historical sieges and influence military doctrine.

    Tracking Giants - Big Trees Tiny...

    Amanda Lewis, Dr. Diana...

    Amanda Lewis was an overachieving, burned-out book editor most familiar with trees as dead blocks of paper. A dedicated "indoorswoman," she could barely tell a birch from a beech. But that didn't stop her from pledging to visit all of the biggest trees in British Columbia, a Canadian province known for its rugged terrain and gigantic trees. 
     
     
     
    The "Champion" trees on Lewis's ambitious list ranged from mighty Western red cedars to towering arbutus. The only problem? Well, there were many . . . 
     
     
     
    Climate change and a pandemic aside, Lewis's lack of wilderness experience, the upsetting reality of old-growth logging, the ever-changing nature of trees, and the pressures of her one-year time frame complicated her quest. Burned out again—and realizing that her "checklist" approach to life might be the problem—she reframed her search for trees to something humbler and more meaningful: getting to know forests in an interconnected way. 
     
     
     
    Weaving in insights from writers and artists, Lewis uncovers what we're really after when we pursue the big things—revealing that sometimes it's the smaller joys, the mindsets we have, and the companions we're with that make us feel more connected to the natural world.

    'A very British love-letter to the beauty of flint' Daily Telegraph
    Joanne Bourne has been in awe of flint as long as she can remember.
    It was all around her where she grew up in Kent: used for garden walls, to edge drives and weight dustbin lids, as well as to build pubs, churches, Roman villas and castles. For centuries it was the only building stone available.
    It is also magical. Made from the remains of plankton and sea sponges, it is second only in hardness to a diamond and can be used to make fire. Part of human development for three million years, it was used as a weapon to hunt and in war, and hung as protection against thunderbolts and fairies.
    In a deeply personal love letter to this extraordinary 'biogenic' rock, Bourne traces its geological, architectural and social history and invites us to roam with her in search of it on her beloved North Downs.
    Fusing science, poetry, history and a profound love of landscape, this is her heartfelt, thoroughly persuasive tribute to the stone she calls 'an art project of the great divine'.

    Have you ever wondered why your brain self-sabotages? Or why your actions seem self-defeating or destructive? This book explores how our brains have evolved to favor survival over mental well-being—creating "controlled explosions"—and provides practical ways to understand, acknowledge, and diffuse them. 
     
    Controlled Explosions in Mental Health identifies everyday scenarios in which one may experience self-destructive behavior such as procrastination or self-criticism. Each chapter guides the listener through key examples of controlled explosions, identifying and exploring their possible functions. Listeners will learn how to identify when one or more of these "explosions" are operating in their lives, recognize the potential harm or difficulties this may cause, and learn practical ways to navigate and overcome. The friendly, accessible narrative, teamed with guided examples to aid self-practice, makes this book the ultimate companion for navigating your mental health. 
     
    This book supports the path to self-awareness, helping the listener take control of their own struggles with insight, care, and compassion. It's a must-have for any listener looking to better understand their mental health and wellbeing.

    25% of the royalties of this book will be donated to Dr. Seyfrieds research (See KetoforCancer.net)! This research will actually make a real impact, as it studies the real causes and treatment opportunities of cancer. 
    This book is an overview of Dr. Thomas Seyfrieds scientific work, regarding that Cancer is a metabolic disease. It comprisesTranscripts of his talks and interviews that summarize all his most important points, as well asA Presentation by his collegue Dr. Dominic D'Agostiono about the "Press Pulse Strategy" andA possible way of eating, that would prevent cancer from the get go: The RockSolid Diet (by J.Rockermeier) 
    Here the description of his scientific work: 
    "Cancer as a metabolic disease" addresses controversies related to the origins of cancer and provides solutions to cancer management and prevention. It expands upon Otto Warburg's well-known theory that all cancer is a disease of energy metabolism. However, Warburg did not link his theory to the "hallmarks of cancer" and thus his theory was discredited.This book aims to provide evidence, through case studies, that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease requring metabolic solutions for its management and prevention. 
    Brain cancer case studies are presented as a proof of principle for metabolic solutions to disease management, but similarities are drawn to other types of cancer, including breast and colon, due to the same cellular mutations that they demonstrate. 
    This book comprises the opinion of Dr. Thomas Seyfried regarding the metabolic nature of cancer. He states, that it is not genetic, but a mitochondrial disease. 
    This book is NOT a summary of his original, scientific book. It's rather a collection of video transcripts, that summarize his point. With official permission, because we donate 25% of the royalties directly to his research!
