  World War I, also known in its time as the “Great War” or the “War to End all Wars”, was an unprecedented holocaust in terms of its sheer scale. Fought by men who hailed from all corners of the globe, it saw millions of soldiers do battle in brutal assaults of attrition which dragged on for months with little to no respite. Tens of millions of artillery shells and untold hundreds of millions of rifle and machine gun bullets were fired in a conflict that demonstrated man’s capacity to kill each other on a heretofore unprecedented scale, and as always, such a war brought about technological innovation at a rate that made the boom of the Industrial Revolution seem stagnant.  
  By 1918, all the great powers were fielding squadrons of fighting aircraft armed with machine-guns and bombs, to say nothing of light reconnaissance planes. Tanks, a common feature on the battlefield by 1918, had not previously existed outside of the realm of science fiction stories written by authors like H.G. Wells. Machine guns had gone from being heavy, cumbersome pieces with elaborate water-cooling systems to single-man-portable, magazine-fed affairs like the Chauchat, the Lewis Gun and the M1918 BAR.  
  These technological developments led to an imbalance. Before the introduction of the man-portable light machine gun (which took place in the second half of the war), not to mention tanks (which also joined the fight late in the game), defensive firepower vastly outweighed offensive capability. Massed batteries of artillery, emplaced heavy machine guns, barbed wire entanglements, and bewildering fortifications meant that ground could not be taken except at incredible cost.  
  Fighting in World War I analyzes the technological advancements in weaponry that produced the deadliest conflict in history up to that time, and the adjusting tactics that the combatants came up with on land, at sea, and in the air.

  The Defiant Middle - How Women...

  For every woman, from the young to those in midlife and beyond, who has ever been told, "You can't" and thought, "Oh, I definitely will!"—this book is for you. 
   
   
   
  Women are expected to be many things. They should be young enough, but not too young; old enough, but not too old; creative, but not crazy; passionate, but not angry. They should be fertile and feminine and self-reliant, not barren or butch or solitary. Women, in other words, are caught between social expectations and a much more complicated reality. 
   
   
   
  Women who don't fit in, whether during life transitions or because of changes in their body, mind, or gender identity, are carving out new ways of being in and remaking the world. But this is nothing new: they have been doing so for thousands of years, often at the margins of the same religious traditions and cultures that created these limited ways of being for women in the first place. 
   
   
   
  In The Defiant Middle, Kaya Oakes draws on the wisdom of women mystics and explores how transitional eras or living in marginalized female identities can be both spiritually challenging and wonderfully freeing, ultimately resulting in a reinvented way of seeing the world and changing it.

  The Pilgrims - History and...

  The Pilgrims, also known as the Pilgrim Fathers, were a group of English settlers who made the historic journey across the Atlantic on the Mayflower and founded the Plymouth Colony in what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts. The colony was named after the port of Plymouth in England, which had been the final departure point for their voyage. The Pilgrims were part of a religious movement rooted in the Puritan faith, but with distinct beliefs that set them apart from other Puritans at the time. 
  The Pilgrims were part of a religious group called the Brownists, or Separatists, who believed that the Church of England was beyond reform. They shared many of the same Calvinist and Puritan religious convictions as the broader Puritan community, particularly in their emphasis on personal piety, Bible study, and the rejection of Catholic practices. However, unlike other Puritans, the Pilgrims felt that the Church of England was corrupt and that their congregations should be completely separate from it. This belief led them to seek religious freedom in places where they could practice their faith without interference from the English state church, which they saw as a violation of their spiritual beliefs. 
  Initially, the Pilgrims found refuge in Holland, where they lived for several years in the city of Leiden. The Netherlands offered a more tolerant environment for religious dissenters, allowing them to practice their faith freely. However, the Pilgrims faced challenges in Holland, including economic difficulties and concerns about the erosion of their cultural identity. They eventually decided to seek a new home in the New World, where they could establish a society that would align with their religious principles.
