Summary

In "Military Manners and Customs," James Anson Farrer presents an intricate examination of the social and ceremonial practices within military culture during the 19th century. Farrer'Äôs prose is characterized by its meticulous detail and rich historical context, offering readers a captivating glimpse into the norms, rituals, and behaviors that defined military life. Drawing upon a wealth of firsthand observations and extensive research, the book serves as both a sociological study and a historical narrative, painting a broad and vivid picture of the intertwining of discipline and camaraderie in military contexts. James Anson Farrer, a military historian and an officer himself, possesses both scholarly training and personal experience that lend authority and authenticity to his work. His extensive travels and interactions with various military groups informed his insights into the customs and practices that shaped military identities. Farrer's dedication to documenting these aspects reflects a deeper concern for the often-overlooked cultural dimensions of military life, capturing a vital part of social history that would otherwise remain obscured in traditional military studies. I highly recommend "Military Manners and Customs" to scholars, history enthusiasts, and lay readers interested in the nuanced interactions of military life. This book not only enriches one's understanding of military culture but also offers valuable reflections on broader societal norms and human behaviors.

    ohn Locke: Enlightenment philosopher, father of liberalism, inventor of “natural rights,” and accidental spiritual patron of land developers, libertarians, and your uncle who won’t shut up about property taxes. 
In this gloriously sarcastic takedown of one of Western philosophy’s most over-quoted minds, Sophia Blackwell (Kant You Not, No Self, No God, No Clue) guides you through Locke’s greatest hits—including: 
The blank slate theory, which basically says you’re born dumb and the world makes you worse 
His ideas on identity, which collapse the second you forget your phone password 
His version of consent, which mostly consists of “You didn’t leave, so I assume you’re fine with it.” 
And of course, property rights—where mixing your labor with the earth somehow makes it yours, and stealing land becomes morally correct as long as you bring a shovel 
Locke’s political philosophy inspired democracies, revolutions, and every 400-comment Reddit thread titled “Taxation is theft.” 
This is not a respectful biography. 
This is a roast. A eulogy. A survival guide for understanding how Locke gave us: 
Liberalism 
Landlords 
Legal headaches 
And a political system that thinks fencing off a patch of dirt = moral superiority 
Perfect for: 
Recovering philosophy students 
Political skeptics 
Enlightenment haters 
Property law survivors 
And anyone who wants to laugh while questioning whether government is just a giant metaphor for a really passive-aggressive roommate agreement 
You don’t need to read Two Treatises of Government. 
You just need to know Locke said, “I think I own that,” and people believed him.

    The courageous pilots of the Royal Air Force who faced the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain, affectionately known as 'the Few', are rightly hailed as heroes. Recently, efforts have been made to recognise the thousands who supported RAF operations behind the scenes. And yet one group remains missing from the narrative: the Women's Auxiliary Air Force. WAAFs worked within the Dowding System, the world's most sophisticated air defence network. Throughout the Blitz, they used radar to aid Fighter and Bomber Commands in protecting Britain's civilians. WAAFs were also behind the discovery of the terrifying German V-weapons. Their work was critical ahead of the Normandy landings and they were present in their hundreds at Bletchley Park. In this thrilling book, Sarah-Louise Miller celebrates their wartime contribution to British military intelligence. Hidden behind the Few but vital to their success, WAAFs supplied the RAF with life-saving information. Here, for the first time, is their story.

    What are the lives of America's richest families really like? Their nannies see it all . . . 
 
 
 
When Stephanie Kiser moves to New York City after college to pursue a career in writing, she quickly learns that her entry-level salary won't cover the cost of living. But there is one in-demand job that pays enough to allow Stephanie to stay in the city: nannying for the 1%. Desperate to escape the poverty of her own childhood, Stephanie falls into a job that hijacks her life for the next seven years: a glorified personal assistant to toddlers on Manhattan's Upper East Side. 
 
 
 
At first, nannying seems like the perfect solution—the high pay covers Stephanie's bills, and she's surprised by how attached she becomes to the kids she cares for, even as she gasps over Prada baby onesies and preschools that cost more than her college tuition. But the grueling twelve-hour days leave her little time to see her friends, date, or pursue any creative projects that might lead to a more prestigious career. The allure of the seemingly-glamorous job begins to dull as Stephanie comes to understand more about what really happens behind the closed doors of million-dollar Park Avenue apartments—and that money doesn't guarantee happiness. Soon she will have to decide whether to stay with the children she's grown to love, or if there's something better out there.
