Sinopse

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.

    Whistling Dixie - Ronald Reagan...

    Jonathan Bartho's Whistling Dixie explores the interdependent political relationship between Ronald Reagan and the white conservative South—a relationship that had a profound impact on Reagan's own career, on the political landscape of the South and the entire United States, and on the identity of the modern Republican Party. Millions of southerners were attracted to the GOP by Reagan's anti-statist ideology and their affection for the man himself—an affection that had been built over decades of appearances in the region. The support of these white southern conservatives was crucial to Reagan's political success, ultimately propelling him to the White House in 1980. Conversely, by supporting Reagan's presidential campaigns, southern conservatives were able to influence the direction of the Republican Party and begin restoring their region to a position of power in Washington. 
     
     
     
    Bartho deftly provides a new perspective on Reagan's political career and the Republican Party of the Reagan era while detailing the often-rancorous philosophical differences between Reaganism and southern conservatism and the resulting political conflicts. Whistling Dixie highlights a divide in the Republican Party and in American conservatism that has often been overlooked—a divide that laid the foundations for the GOP's southernization and ultimately led to the rise of Donald Trump.

    From the author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller Barking Up the Wrong Tree comes a cure-all for our increasing emotional distance and loneliness—a smart, surprising, and thoroughly entertaining guide to help build better friendships, reignite love, and get closer to others, whether you’re an extrovert or introvert, socially adept or socially anxious. 
    Can you judge a book by its cover?  
    Is a friend in need truly a friend indeed?  
    Does love conquer all?  
    Is no man an island?  
    In Plays Well With Others, Eric Barker dives into these questions, drawing on science to reveal the truth beyond the conventional wisdom about human relationships. Combining his compelling storytelling and humor, Barker explains what hostage negotiation techniques and marital arguments have in common, how an expert con-man lied his way into a twenty-year professional soccer career, and why those holding views diametrically opposed to our own actually have the potential to become our closest, most trusted friends. 
    Leveraging the best evidence available—free of platitudes or magical thinking—Barker analyzes multiple sides of an issue before rendering his verdict. What he’s uncovered is surprising, counterintuitive, and timely—and will change the way you interact in the world and with those around you just when you need it most.

    During the Irish Civil War, events of late 1922 and early 1923 together with waves of 'dishonourable' killings created poisoned relations between Republicans and 'Free Staters' which would last for several generations. The most enduring of these controversies, a policy of summary executions carried out by the Provisional Government from November 1922, continues to surround the argument.
    
    
    This book offers a fresh perspective on the causes, development and consequences of the Irish Civil War. Triggered by the signing of the Anglo-Treaty, there were those that would accept nothing less than complete Irish independence. Very few IRA commanders active in the field supported the Treaty and, as happens often in the dissection of civil wars, controversy over the conduct of both sides figures heavily within the text, where,  at a local and national level, it left bitter legacies.
    
    
    This book offers an overview of the war in all regions of Ireland.
