Sinossi

Urban Combat explores the surprising relationship between real-world military tactics and their depiction in action manga. It reveals how the intricate choreography of urban warfare, from historical battles to modern military doctrine, subtly influences the dynamic cityscapes and pulse-pounding action sequences found in popular Japanese comics.

 
The book unpacks the evolution of urban combat, highlighting how elements like barricades reminiscent of revolutionary Paris or the intense house-to-house fighting seen in Stalingrad are reimagined for entertainment. This study delves into the visual language of manga, examining how artists translate complex military concepts into compelling imagery. It analyzes specific manga series, uncovering the surprisingly accurate, albeit stylized, depictions of urban combat principles.

 
By bridging the gap between military history and popular culture, Urban Combat offers a new lens through which to analyze both fields, providing insights into the creative process and cultural narratives surrounding conflict. The book systematically progresses, first introducing core concepts of urban warfare and then exploring their visual representation in manga. It also analyzes the cultural context, examining how Japanese attitudes towards warfare shape the portrayal of urban conflict. This approach provides readers with a framework to critically analyze other works of fiction and appreciate the depth of research and artistic skill involved.

Set Free Autism and ADHD -...

Lilly J Faith

A Story of Love Conquers All 
This is a tell-all story: the good and the bad of parenting a child with Autism and ADHD. Do you need a laugh, a cry, or release from a heavy subject of diagnosis? Why not flick through the pages of this book. In your hands, you hold an overview of information that I have researched and used. It is filled with strategies and integrated therapy methods, and with parenting tips which have been a saving grace for me and my family. 
This is a memoir which I hope will inspire, as it is based on real life experiences and my ongoing research. I’m an ordinary person, not a doctor. I can be an actress … Yet, the truth is that I’m a mother, here to tell you a love story where “love conquerors all”. Parenting in itself is hard work and a little extra challenging with special needs. If I can do it, you can do it! Parenthood is one of the greatest gifts a person can encounter. Wouldn’t you agree? 
Our son has contributed into who I am today, and I hope my family’s story can help your child reach their full potential, as you read about all that I have learnt and applied; it has been a game changer.

Perpetual Peace - Immanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant

"Perpetual Peace" is a philosophical work written by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant in 1795. In this work, Kant argues that peace can only be achieved through a world order based on international law, democratic governance, and the promotion of free trade. 
Kant believed that war was a result of a flawed system of international relations, where states pursued their own self-interests without regard for the interests of other nations. He argued that in order to establish a lasting peace, a system of international law must be established that would regulate the behavior of nations and prevent them from going to war. 
Kant also believed that a world federation of nations would be necessary to ensure peace. This federation would be based on democratic governance, where each nation would have an equal say in decisions that affected the world as a whole. Kant believed that this would help to ensure that the interests of all nations were taken into account, and that no one nation could dominate the others. 
Finally, Kant argued that free trade was essential for peace. He believed that by promoting economic interdependence between nations, free trade would create incentives for nations to work together and avoid war. 
Overall, Kant's "Perpetual Peace" is a seminal work in the history of political philosophy, and continues to be influential today in debates about international relations and the pursuit of peace.
