Sinossi

Siege War Facts explores the multifaceted nature of siege warfare throughout history, revealing it as a complex interplay of military innovation, resource management, and societal resilience rather than just battlefield tactics. The book examines how sieges have shaped military history and influenced political landscapes, impacting civilian populations. It emphasizes the evolution of siege technology and tactics alongside the socio-economic pressures that determined a siege's outcome. The book challenges the traditional focus on battlefield tactics, highlighting the often-overlooked importance of logistics and engineering. For instance, the Siege of Constantinople demonstrates the impact of gunpowder weaponry, while the Siege of Leningrad highlights the human capacity to endure extreme privation. By analyzing specific sieges, the book demonstrates the critical role of resource management and societal factors. Beginning with foundational concepts and historical trends, the book progresses through focused analyses of specific sieges, such as the Siege of Sarajevo, culminating in a discussion of siege warfare's legacy. This approach provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of how sieges have dictated the course of history and continue to influence modern military strategy and urban planning.

    On Giving Up

    From acclaimed psychoanalyst Adam Phillips, a meditation on what we must give up to feel more alive. 
     
     
     
    To give up or not to give up? 
     
     
     
    The question can feel inescapable but the answer is never simple. 
     
     
     
    Giving up our supposed vices is one thing; giving up on life itself is quite another. One form of self-sacrifice feels positive, something to admire and aspire to, while the other is profoundly unsettling, if not actively undesirable. 
     
     
     
    There are always, it turns out, both good and bad sacrifices, but it is not always clear beforehand which is which. We give something up because we believe we can no longer go on as we are. In this sense, giving up is a critical moment―an attempt to make a different future. 
     
     
     
    In On Giving Up, the acclaimed psychoanalyst Adam Phillips illuminates both the gaps and the connections between the many ways of giving up and helps us to address the central question: What must we give up in order to feel more alive?

    The New World Order is a non-fiction book written by H.G. Wells and was published by Secker & Warburg in January 1940. In The New World Order, Wells proposed a framework of international functionalism that could guide the world towards achieving world peace. To achieve these ends, Wells asserted that a socialist and scientifically planned world government would need to be formed to defend human rights.Wells's motivation for writing The New World Order was based upon the outbreak of World War II. Wells was concerned that the Allies had no clear statement of aims for fighting in the war and that this would lead to the continuation of the pre-existing balance of power. In The New World Order, Wells writes that without a revolution in international affairs and the establishment of human rights, then further destructive wars were inevitable.

    A caring and compassionate grief book for bereaved parents who have lost a child. 
     
     
     
    Being suddenly thrust into the world of parental grief is like being transported to a foreign land where you don't speak the language. With that in mind, Claire Aagaard has written When a Child Dies in a simple, straightforward manner, offering information, comfort, and hope for those who believe that none is possible. 
     
     
     
    Questions addressed include: Can we survive this?; Is it possible to be happy again?; Is forgiveness attainable?; Can we survive this as a couple?; How will this affect our loved ones?; Is it okay to be angry with God?; How do we cope with birthdays or holidays?; Will my grief ever change?; What can we do to help? (a chapter for supportive loved ones). 
     
     
     
    Claire has written this book from a unique perspective—that of a professional grief counselor after working with dozens of bereaved parents, and as a parent with her own history of child loss. It is an honest yet gentle guide for grieving parents as well as their family, friends, and loved ones, offering the wisdom from her own personal journey as well as that of countless others.
