Sinopse

Knight Armor Logistics explores the practical, often-overlooked logistical challenges of equipping and maintaining armored knights during the High and Late Middle Ages. This book argues that logistical considerations surrounding knightly armor were as critical to military outcomes as battlefield tactics. It examines the interplay between armor weight, material sourcing, and their impact on a knight's mobility and effectiveness in military campaigns. For instance, while sophisticated design mitigated the debilitating effects of armor weight, the procurement and transportation of raw materials like iron ore and charcoal posed significant logistical hurdles. 

 
The book progresses from foundational concepts of armor construction and material properties to exploring the material world of armor, the weight debate, and armor's role in campaigning. By blending historical analysis with materials science perspectives, it provides a holistic view of medieval warfare. The book uses insights from economics, geography, and engineering, demonstrating an interdisciplinary approach. This provides valuable insights into the realities of medieval knighthood, strategic and tactical decisions during warfare, including siege warfare and pitched battles.

Safe Wanted and Loved - A Family...

Patrick Dylan

Winner of seven awards, including a National Indie Excellence Award and Best Indie Book Award. 
"Anyone out there struggling to navigate mental illness should read this thoughtful book."—Former U.S. Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy, founder of the Kennedy Forum 
“Pat, we need to kill the dog.” A chill ran down Patrick Dylan’s spine as his wife spoke—psychosis had found their family again. 
When a sudden mental illness struck his wife, Patrick Dylan found himself living with an eerie stranger. Scared and unprepared, he began a desperate battle to protect her from a mysterious disease, shelter their children from her bizarre behavior, and recover the woman he loved. 
For years, Patrick and Mia Dylan enjoyed an intimate marriage that exemplified partnership. They worked together to create a loving home for their two children, enjoyed a close relationship with their extended family, and offered mutual support during hard times. But on the morning of Mia’s thirty-ninth birthday, everything changed. 
Within weeks, she had been admitted to the emergency room, the hospital, and the local crisis facility, but none of the experts could provide an answer. As her illness eluded diagnosis, the family’s struggle was only beginning. A brave memoir in the tradition of Brain on Fire, Dylan’s Safe, Wanted, and Loved is a compassionate, honest, and gripping account of a family navigating mental illness.

Vedic Philosophy of the Kali...

HENRY ROMANO

According to Vedic philosophy, there are four eras in every world cycle. They represent a gradual decline from enlightenment (Satya Yuga) to chaos and ignorance (Kali Yuga) before it starts again. Each of these eras lasts roughly 2160 years. 
You're probably familiar with the four ages of Hindu philosophy: Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dwapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga. The golden age is when pure knowledge is widespread, and people live in harmony. The dark age is when everything goes wrong—the World falls into chaos, and humanity descends into ignorance. But what happens next? 
What is the meaning of "the end of the world"?
