Sinopse

Naval Rebellions explores the compelling history of mutinies at sea, revealing how these acts of defiance have influenced military power, maritime law, and global trade. Far from being random outbursts, naval revolts often stem from systemic issues such as poor leadership and harsh conditions, highlighting vulnerabilities within maritime empires. Interestingly, these rebellions weren't always about material needs; sometimes they were protests against tyrannical leadership. The book examines pivotal events like the Spithead and Nore mutinies and the Potemkin uprising, showcasing the diverse motivations behind these revolts. By analyzing naval archives, court-martial records, and personal diaries, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of the social, economic, and political forces at play. It uniquely emphasizes the agency of lower ranks in challenging authority and shaping maritime history. 

 
Naval Rebellions progresses through three main sections: an overview of naval mutinies from the age of sail to modern times, detailed case studies of significant revolts, and an analysis of their long-term consequences on military strategy and global trade networks. This approach connects military history with legal studies, economic history, and social history, providing valuable lessons for contemporary issues of military leadership and organizational management.

    Another Orgasmic New Year 
    It has been far too long that I got together with my girlfriend for a slutty and slippery slide into the New Year, but this time, she has planned something special: A very special maid, providing very special room service, just for me. Or wait: Make that two maids, who both can't get enough of our sputtering holes, drenching them in everything that's wet and wonderful until they're plugged with a fist. How did I manage to talk about my book in between all that? Well, you should read and see! 
    After all, it has been... what, years? Hoo boy, a long time in any case, since I published my last book, and if you're at all curious what I've been up to and what my plans are for the next year, this is the place to find out. And hey, what better way to find out than in between layers and layers of smut, right? 
    Caution: Contains orgiastic lesbian sex, fisting, urination and quite a quite a bit of anal, if I remember correctly. Which I may not, my memory got hazy after a point.

  • Tremendous Trifles - "Perhaps the best introduction to Chesterton" - cover

    Tremendous Trifles - "Perhaps...

    G K Chesterton

    A wonderful and whimsical collection of short essays on everything from sketching on brown paper and building toy theatres to the nature of Englishness and faith."Tremendous Trifles contains simply some of the best essays Chesterton ever wrote. They originally appeared in the Daily News, which Chesterton contributed to from 1901 to 1913, and which explains why people bought that paper. Which is an idea so large it spills over into another essay, “A Piece of Chalk.” Here Chesterton describes how he has set out to do some drawing with his chalks, but is distressed to find that he has forgotten his white chalk. White is essential. White is a color. It is not merely the absence of color. It is “a shining and affirmative thing…it draws stars.” As white is to art, so is virtue to religion. Virtue is a positive thing; not merely “the absence of dangers or the avoidance of moral dangers…Chastity does not mean abstention from sexual wrong; it means something flaming, like Joan of Arc.”In this book, Chesterton looks at the ordinary, common things and asks us to see how extraordinary and uncommon they are. The things in his pockets, the objects in a railway station, the people in the street. With these simple, random things he can defend Christianity, Western Civilization and Democracy. “Whatever is it that we are all looking for?” he asks at the beginning of an essay entitled “A Glimpse of My Country.” He suggests that what we are looking for lies very close; we just don’t manage to see it. It is a theme throughout the book, and throughout Chesterton’s writings that what appears to be a trifle is actually tremendous. In the title essay Chesterton crystallizes this truth in a perfect sentence that would go on to be inscribed on buildings and quoted by popes: “The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder.”-- Dale Ahlquist, lecture for Chesterton University

    The 2022 War in Ukraine has been Breaking News since it began. Have you been feeling bewildered about how a civilized world can explode into conflict? Have you been worried about how worried you should be? Are you fascinated with the interplay of truth and lies? Are you a student of military tactics? 
    If so, the answer is not more information but deeper information: untangling the history that led to this crisis. 
    Imagine being able to evaluate the information about Ukraine with real expertise. Imagine being able to distinguish between real issues and propaganda issues. Imagine being in control of your social media rather than being controlled by rumors and speculation! 
    Journalist and author, Marc Miles Vaughn, gives you an insight into history unlike any history professor’s. Having studied Ukraine from its earliest roots as a Viking Pirate Kingdom to its latest “TikTok” war, he takes you, step by step, through twelve centuries of destruction and mayhem, and shows you what the official statues of Ukraine are hiding: the inextinguishable Ukrainian heart. 
    His readable, compelling style draws you on as if you are following a Netflix series. As the “Game of Ukrainian Thrones” unfolds, he introduces you to the folktale of the Iron Wolf and takes you to handle the bones in the mass-graves of the Holodomor, where Stalin starved four million peasants to death. 
    He then goes on to deliver a disturbing analysis of the invasion of Ukraine. Vladimir Putin wants history to re-repeat itself. Ukrainian Comic-turned-President (and war hero) Volodymyr Zelensky is staring him down in a high-stakes, high-tech war. 
    This book is for anyone who wants to read history in order to understand the present. It’s a launching pad for any inquisitive mind, students or couch-detectives or scholars. Turn off your TV, read Vaughn’s book, and then turn your TV on again. His book will enable you to understand the news, not just spectate it.

    Fictional representations of horrific events run the risk of undercutting efforts to verify historical knowledge and may heighten our ability to respond intellectually and ethically to human experiences of devastation. In this captivating study of the epistemological, psychological, and ethical issues underlying Holocaust fiction, Emily Miller Budick examines the subjective experiences of fantasy, projection, and repression manifested in Holocaust fiction and in the reader's encounter with it. Considering works by Cynthia Ozick, Art Spiegelman, Aharon Appelfeld, Michael Chabon, and others, Budick investigates how the reading subject makes sense of these fictionalized presentations of memory and trauma, victims and victimizers.
