Beschreibung

Stone Defense Buildings explores the strategic significance of stone in military architecture across cultures and eras. The book examines how the choice of stone reflected a society's military strategy, engineering capabilities, and societal values. Intriguingly, the selection and application of stone were not just practical but also indicative of a society's resources and understanding of warfare.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with the geological context of stone and then moving into early examples of stone defenses and basic construction techniques. Subsequent chapters analyze the evolution of stone fortifications, covering specific building elements like walls, towers, and gates. Each chapter explores the strategic rationale behind design choices, using archaeological evidence and historical accounts, highlighting the intersection of military needs and architectural design.

 
This interdisciplinary approach, bridging military history, archaeology, and architectural history, offers a holistic understanding of stone fortifications. By focusing specifically on stone as the defining material, this book provides a unique and valuable resource for students, scholars, military professionals, and enthusiasts interested in fortresses, castles, and defensive architecture.

    The Problem of Democracy -...

    What happens when democracy produces "bad" outcomes? Is democracy good because of its outcomes or despite them? This "democratic dilemma" is one of the most persistent, vexing problems for America abroad, particularly in the Middle East—we want democracy in theory but not necessarily in practice. 
     
     
     
    When Islamist parties rise to power through free elections, the United States has too often been ambivalent or opposed, preferring instead pliable dictators. With this legacy of democratic disrespect in mind, and drawing on new interviews with top American officials, Shadi Hamid explores universal questions of morality, power, and hypocrisy. Why has the United States failed so completely to live up to its own stated ideals in the Arab world? And is it possible for it to change? 
     
     
     
    In The Problem of Democracy, Hamid offers an ambitious reimagining of this ongoing debate and argues for "democratic minimalism" as a path to resolving democratic dilemmas in the Middle East and beyond. In the seemingly eternal tension between democracy and liberalism, recognized by the ancient Greeks and the American founders alike, it may be time to prioritize one over the other, rather than acting as if the two are intertwined when increasingly they are not.

    Why is it that our highly-interconnected and globalized world seems more chaotic and dangerous than ever? Have you ever wondered why the world seems to lurch from seemingly unconnected crisis to crisis? From the pandemic to climate change and net-zero policies? From food shortages to high inflation and collapsing markets? But are they really unconnected? This book explores the reality suggesting that, in fact, none of what is happening across the globe is happening by chance. 
    Right under humanity’s nose, supranational organizations such as the United Nations, the Club of Rome and Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum strive to usurp national sovereignties in the quest for a dystopian future, with the threat of transhumanism, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, central bank digital currencies, universal basic income and digital IDs looming ever closer. 
    This book compiles hundreds of pieces of evidence to expose the dystopian goals of a global control matrix lying in the shadows. By reading this book, you become part of humanity’s fight back against the new world order being forced on the globe. We must fight for our freedoms and for those of generations to come. 
    Humanity can, and will, win.
