  This volume presents five major narratives that shaped the geopolitics and religious landscape of Europe and the Near East from the 8th to the 15th centuries. 
  The story of Joan of Arc brings to life the courage and mysticism of a teenage girl who led French forces to victory during the Hundred Years' War, claiming divine guidance in her quest to drive out the English. Her legacy endures as both a national heroine and a symbol of spiritual resistance. 
  The Albigensian Crusade explores a lesser-known but brutal campaign within Europe itself—where the Catholic Church sought to eradicate the Cathar heresy in southern France. It reveals the tangled web of religious persecution, regional power struggles, and papal authority. 
  The Crusades section covers the series of holy wars between Christian Europe and the Muslim world over control of Jerusalem and other sacred territories. From the First Crusade’s initial fervor to the eventual decline of Christian military ambitions in the East, this section paints a vivid portrait of religious zeal, political ambition, and cultural exchange. 
  The Battle of Tours recounts the pivotal clash in 732 between Frankish forces under Charles Martel and invading Muslim armies. Often hailed as a turning point that halted Islamic expansion into Western Europe, this battle shaped the future of European Christendom. 
  The Hundred Years' War examines the long, bitter struggle between England and France over territorial claims and dynastic rights. It highlights major battles, key figures like Edward the Black Prince, and the war’s impact on national identity and military tactics. 
  Together, these five accounts offer a compelling and detailed portrait of warfare in the medieval world—where faith, politics, and ambition collided on the battlefield, forging the course of European history.

  In a sparkling social history, Skirts traces the shifting roles of women over the twentieth century through the era's most iconic and influential dresses. 
   
   
   
  While the story of women's liberation has often been framed by the growing acceptance of pants over the twentieth century, the most important and influential female fashions of the era featured skirts. Suffragists and soldiers marched in skirts; the heroines of the Civil Rights Movement took a stand in skirts. As women made strides towards equality in the vote, the workforce, and the world at large, their wardrobes evolved with them. 
   
   
   
  Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell's Skirts looks at the history of twentieth-century womenswear through the lens of game-changing styles like the little black dress and the Bar Suit, as well as more obscure innovations like the Taxi dress or the Pop-Over dress, which came with a matching potholder. These influential garments illuminate the times in which they were first worn—and the women who wore them—while continuing to shape contemporary fashion and even opening the door for a genderfluid future of skirts. At once an authoritative work of history and a delightfully entertaining romp through decades of fashion, Skirts charts the changing fortunes, freedoms, and aspirations of women themselves.

  Suburban Policing: Cleveland Style is an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes journey through the eyes of a seasoned law enforcement officer who spent 25+ years as a Police Officer making his way through the ranks (Patrol Officer, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Detective Bureau Commander, SWAT Team Commander, etc.,)—which culminated in serving his final eleven (11) years as a municipal Police Chief.

Drawn from decades of real-life experiences, these stories reflect the grit, compassion, and unwavering resolve of those who serve and protect.
