Sinossi

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.

    You were chosen because you were dangerous to their carefully constructed lies. Not because you were broken — because you saw too clearly, felt too deeply, and refused to go along with the fiction. 
    If you grew up absorbing blame that was never yours, silenced when you tried to speak, and told that your version of events was the problem — this audiobook was made for you. 
    Scapegoated: You Were Never The Problem is a deep, unflinching look at how narcissistic family systems work, who gets chosen as the target and why, and what that systematic targeting does to a developing mind and body. You'll learn about the roles that hold these families together — the narcissistic parent, the enabler, the golden child, the flying monkeys — and how each one plays a part in keeping the scapegoat in place. You'll see the selection process for what it really was: not a reflection of your worth, but a threat response to your strength. 
    This is the book that traces what happened inside your family back to the cultural systems that made it possible — structures that normalize control, silence the ones who speak up, and protect the very people who caused the harm. The invalidation you experienced was not accidental. It was structural. And the loneliness of trying to heal with no one believing you, no one standing in your corner — that was structural too. 
    There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from carrying weight that was never yours. From spending years trying to fix something in yourself that was never broken. From watching the people who hurt you face no consequences while you quietly fall apart. 
    This audiobook names all of it. The selection. The roles. The silence. The systems. And the long, unglamorous road of understanding what was actually done to you. 
    Not because something is wrong with you. Because something was done to you — and the world was not built to believe you. But this book was.

    The Pulitzer Prize-winning author "shares his insights into—and passion for—the creation and experience of fiction with total openness" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). 
     
     
      
    Robert Olen Butler, author of Perfume River, A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain, and A Small Hotel, teaches graduate fiction at Florida State University—his version of literary boot camp. In From Where You Dream, Butler reimagines the process of writing as emotional rather than intellectual and tells writers how to achieve the dream space necessary for composing honest, inspired fiction. Proposing that fiction is the exploration of the human condition with yearning as its compass, Butler reinterprets the traditional tools of the craft using the dynamics of desire. Offering a direct view into the mind and craft of a literary master, From Where You Dream is an invaluable tool for the novice and experienced writer alike. 
     
     
      
    "Incisive and provocative, Butler's tutorials are a must for anyone even thinking about writing fiction, and readers, too, will benefit from his passionate exhortations." —Booklist

    An indispensable guide to understanding the Israel–Palestine conflict, and how we might yet still find a way out of it. 
     
     
     
    "Ilan Pappe is the most original, radical and hard-hitting of Israel's 'new historians.'" —Avi Shlaim, author of Three Worlds 
     
     
     
    The devastation of 7 October 2023 and the horrors that followed astounded the world. But the Israel–Palestine conflict didn't start on 7 October. It didn't start in 1967 either, when Israel occupied the West Bank, or in 1948 when the state of Israel was declared. It started in 1882, when the first Zionist settlers arrived in what was then Ottoman Palestine. Ilan Pappe untangles the history of two peoples, now sharing one land. Going back to the founding fathers of Zionism, Pappe expertly takes us through the twists and turns of international policy towards Israel–Palestine, Palestinian resistance to occupation, and the changes taking place in Israel itself.
