Sinopsis

Naval Mines explores the significant yet often understated role of naval mines in shaping maritime strategy and military history. It delves into the evolution and deployment of these weapons, revealing how their cost-effectiveness has made them potent equalizers in naval warfare. The book highlights how even technologically simple mines can disrupt powerful naval forces, forcing them to adapt tactics and invest in mine countermeasures.

 
One intriguing aspect covered is how the strategic use of naval mines has influenced international law and maritime operations, raising complex ethical considerations that continue to shape naval doctrine. The book examines the principles of mine design, activation, and deployment, progressing through historical case studies such as the Russo-Japanese War and the Iran-Iraq War.

 
By analyzing these conflicts, the book shows the effectiveness of different mine types and the countermeasures they triggered. It offers a unique perspective by blending technical analysis with historical insights, making it valuable for military historians, naval officers, and anyone interested in the strategic implications of mine warfare.

    Living in a dysfunctional family isn't easy. But while you can't choose where you come from, you can choose the lessons you take away. 
     
     
     
    Bestselling recovery author Karen Casey looks at stories of people who grew up in dysfunctional families and "the good stuff" that can, ironically, come from the experience. She interviews survivors who emerged from the fires of turbulent households affected by abuse, addiction, or other problems, and reveals how they came to process their often-harrowing personal trials and, against the odds, triumph over their difficulties—using skills they honed in response to their childhoods. In The Good Stuff from Growing Up in a Dysfunctional Family, Casey reveals the stories and the skills they developed to live more creative and fulfilling lives, and not just survive but thrive. 
     
     
     
    "Using her interviews as groundwork, she explores the benefits that result from surviving in a dysfunctional family, including resiliency, perseverance, a sense of humor, forgiveness, kindness, and the ability to discern real love." —Publishers Weekly 
     
     
     
    "You just can't go wrong with Karen Casey." —Earnie Larson, author of Stage II Recovery

    President John F. Kennedy gave his "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech on June 26, 1963, in West Berlin. It is one of the best-known speeches of the Cold War, and among the most famous anti-communist speeches. Twenty-two months earlier, East Germany had erected the Berlin Wall to prevent mass emigration to West Berlin. The speech was aimed as much at the Soviet Union as it was at West Berliners. The speech is considered one of Kennedy's finest, delivered at the height of the Cold War and the New Frontier. It was a great morale boost for West Berliners, who lived in an enclave deep inside East Germany and feared a possible East German occupation. 
     
    President John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 - November 22, 1963), often referred to by his initials JFK, was an American politician who served as the 35th president of the United States from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. He was the youngest person to assume the presidency by election and the youngest president at the end of his tenure. Kennedy served at the climax of the Cold War, and the majority of his foreign policy concerned relations with the Soviet Union and Cuba. A Democrat, Kennedy represented Massachusetts in both houses of the U.S. Congress prior to his presidency.

    'Defiant, funny and inspiring' SEÁN HEWITT, author of ALL DOWN DARKNESS WIDE
    
    Each generation has more childfree women than the one before. For many, it is an active decision made for a wide range of reasons. Despite this growing trend, we continue to live in a society where women are often judged for deciding to remain childfree - for not conforming to narrow expectations. For being a Harpy.
    
    In this timely and thoughtful book, Caroline Magennis looks beyond the often-divisive conversation around women who choose to be childfree and offers an alternative message of hope and celebration. With humour and intelligence, she explores why motherhood isn't right for everybody and how any woman - whether a parent or childfree - can live a full life, while also reminding the reader that your freedoms and the right to autonomy should never be taken for granted.

She provides practical explanations of a dynamic wisdom for immediate application using anecdotes gained from fifteen years of consulting in professional environments.

    In When Working Together Doesn't Work, you'll learn how differing motivations or types can affect employee cohesiveness and productivity; how managers can engage individuals by type, so that employees feel understood and valued; and how to significantly reduce the perception of personal slights and pave the way for understanding, trust, and collaboration.
