Sons of the Arghandab - Top Guns...

Joseph J. Fontenot

Recounts the harrowing experiences of the 1-320th Field Artillery "Top Guns" Battalion as they navigated the challenges of serving as provisional infantrymen in the hostile Arghandab Valley during 2010-2011. 
 
 
 
Sons of the Arghandab tells the story of the 1-320th Field Artillery "Top Guns" Battalion, 101st Airborne, in the Arghandab Valley, 2010-2011. 
 
 
 
The Arghandab River Valley is known for its lush vegetation from its grape furrows and its pomegranate orchards. It's also known as the birthplace of several Taliban leaders such as Mullah Omar and Akhtar Mohammad Mansour, and was a major crossing route for weapons coming from Pakistan into Kandahar. This hostile environment had already claimed the lives of many seasoned infantrymen. But the Top Guns weren't infantrymen, they were artillerymen, deployed without their usual weapons and with minimal last-minute training, redesignated as "provisional infantrymen." Painstakingly researched by one of the Top Guns and told through the perspectives of the men who survived that terrible year, this is the harrowing story of Alpha, HHB, and Bravo Batteries as they undertook the challenges of an artillery unit charged with an infantry mission in the most hostile killing fields in Afghanistan.

The Politics of Maps -...

Izhak Schnell, Christine...

Blending science and technology studies, sociology, and geography with a host of archival material, in-depth interviews, and ethnographies, The Politics of Maps explores how the geographical sciences came to be entangled with the politics, territorial claim-making, and nation-state building of Israel/Palestine. Chapters chart the cartographic history of the region, from the introduction of Western scientific and legal paradigms that seemingly legitimized and depoliticized new land regimes to the rise of new mapping technologies and software that expanded access to cartography into the public sphere. Maps produced by various sectors like the "peace camps" or the Jewish community enhanced national belonging, while others, like that of the Green Line, served largely to divide. 
 
 
 
The stories of Israel's many boundaries reveal that there is no absolute, technocratic solution to boundary-making. As boundaries continue to be controversial and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains intractable and unresolved, The Politics of Maps uses nationally-based cartographic discourses to provide insight into the complexity, fissures, and frictions within internal political debates, illuminating the persistent power of the nation-state as a framework for forging identities, citizens, and alliances.

Stoicism in 5 Steps: How to...

Konstantin Rensche

"With stoic calm": That's how people describe individuals who seemingly can't be thrown off balance by anything—and perhaps you wish that for yourself more often, too? In that case, you should take a closer look at the actual Stoa, and this book will show you how easily Stoicism can be integrated into your everyday life!Reacting to events without emotion and not letting joyful occasions, annoyances, or strokes of fate affect you: this Stoa stereotype seems impossible and hardly desirable—but wouldn't a bit more control over your inner life be nice? Then a modern Stoicism approach is your royal road, because the fundamental idea of its founder Zeno is more relevant today than ever: leading a good life in which your internal and external worlds are in harmonious alignment. To achieve this, one must become master of their emotions and passions—and fortunately, with a little patience, it's quite simple to learn. In this book, you will first familiarize yourself with the theoretical foundations of Stoicism before discovering how to put them into practice. By working through a variety of exercises, tasks, and challenges, you will apply what you've learned and gradually develop the Stoa mindset. Prior knowledge or experience? Not required! Thanks to straightforward explanations and immediately applicable techniques, even newcomers can start effortlessly and achieve impressive results in no time.
