Synopsis

Artillery Power examines the sweeping impact of artillery on military history, arguing its evolution has consistently reshaped battlefield tactics and military strategy from ancient times to modern warfare. The book highlights how artillery redefined the possibilities and limitations of military power, not just through technological advancements but also through its influence on social and economic factors. Readers will discover how crucial the interplay between technology, strategy, and societal forces are to understanding artillery's impact.

 
The book chronologically progresses from ancient siege engines to contemporary precision-guided munitions, detailing tactical adaptations driven by artillery's enhanced capabilities. For instance, the shift from gunpowder artillery to more sophisticated siege guns during the Renaissance significantly altered territorial control strategies. Similarly, the advent of rifled artillery transformed industrial warfare during the American Civil War, making battles deadlier and more complex. This study provides a comprehensive look at how artillery's development forced militaries to adapt.

 
Drawing from military manuals, battle reports, and quantitative data, Artillery Power offers a balanced and objective analysis suitable for both academics and enthusiasts interested in military technology and its historical significance, making it a valuable resource for understanding military planning and defense procurement.

    Over the course of the last half dozen years, China's supreme leader Xi Jinping has made extraordinary changes which have profound implications not only for the Chinese people but nations throughout the world. Given how swiftly and fundamentally China's relations with the rest of the world are changing under Xi's rule, it is imperative that we know what Xi Jinping Thought is, how it evolved, and why it is so important. 
     
     
     
    In The Political Thought of Xi Jinping, Steve Tsang and Olivia Cheung provide an authoritative overview of what "Xi Jinping Thought" is and is not and what it means for both China and the world. Xi, now effectively leader for life, has worked to ensure that "Xi Jinping Thought" becomes cemented as the new state ideology. Clearly inspired by the doctrine of "Mao Zedong Thought," which shaped the parameters of acceptable thinking for a quarter century, Xi wants his doctrine to define what he calls the "China Dream of national rejuvenation" and serve the pathway to its fulfillment by 2050. Drawing from original research of Xi's speeches, writings, and policies, Tsang and Cheung conceptualize Xi's vision independently from interpretations provided by the Chinese Communist Party or other sources. They further examine and explain how Xi seeks to transform this vision into reality.

    A fascinating history of an ancient place.
    From its first mention in legend in the Book of Invasions, through early Christian monastic settlements, castles and grand residences, Fenian raids and the Battle of Tallaght, there has been huge change in Tallaght. In more recent times it has seen car and motorcycle racing, an aerodrome, the rise and fall of a chocolate factory and a pioneering telecommunications firm. The massive population explosion and rapid modernisation towards the end of the twentieth century means this once-tiny village in Dublin's foothills is now home to over 80,000 people.
    Richly illustrated with period photographs and original drawings by Michael O'Brien, Albert Perris tells the often-surprising story of Tallaght.

    The War on Critical Race Theory...

    "Critical Race Theory" is consuming conservative America. The mounting attacks on a once-obscure legal theory are upending public schooling, legislating censorship, driving elections, and cleaving communities. 
     
     
     
    In this much-needed response, renowned scholar David Theo Goldberg cuts to the heart of the claims expressed in these attacks. He punctures the demonization of Critical Race Theory, uncovering who is orchestrating it, funding the assault, and eagerly distributing the message. The book richly illustrates the enduring nature of structural racism, even as a conservative insistence on colorblindness serves to silence the possibility of doing anything about it. Crucially, Goldberg exposes the political aims and effects of the vitriolic attacks. The upshot of CRT's targeting, he argues, has been to unleash racisms anew and to stymie any attempt to fight them, all with the aim of protecting white minority rule.
