Synopsis

"Weapons of War" explores how technology has continually reshaped military history and modern warfare. The book examines the evolution of weapons technology, from early firearms to today's autonomous systems, highlighting how these advancements dramatically influence military strategy and geopolitics. One key insight is how technological innovation, such as the development of precision firearms, has consistently altered the balance of power and forced societies to adapt. The book approaches this complex topic by providing essential background on the physics of ballistics and the engineering behind weapon design, making it accessible to non-experts. It emphasizes the progression of firearms, the rise of mechanized warfare through tanks and aircraft, and the emergence of drones and AI in warfare. Organized into three parts, the book first introduces basic weapon principles, then examines the Industrial Revolution's impact, and concludes with an analysis of 20th and 21st-century advancements, including nuclear weapons and arms control.

Dancing the Edge To Reclaiming...

Lori Beth Bisbey

People frequently come to therapy believing they are broken.  They have been told this by countless people.  Over the past 33 years, I have worked with thousands of people and the majority of them don't have something wrong with them.  They are just missing skills.  This book is made up of education about the skills, examples and plans to learn the skills complete with exercises.  Why are these skills so important? When a person lacks skills, they are set up to experience difficult situations throughout their lives.  I have dedicated a chapter to gaslighting because this abusive behaviour robs people of some of the most essential skills, sets them up for emotional abuse, intimate partner violence, rape, sexual violence, physical abuse later in life.  These skills make it possible for us to integrate well with others, keep a solid sense of self, self-worth and have relationships that bring all parties joy.

Stalking the Atomic City - Life...

Markiyan Kamysh

Since the Chornobyl nuclear disaster in April 1986, the area remains a toxic, forbidden wasteland. The zone has become a place for meditation at the edge of geography where you can lose yourself. As with all dangerous places, this terra incognita attracts a wild assortment of adventurers who climb over the barbed wire illegally to witness the aftermath of catastrophe in the flesh. Breaking the law here is a pilgrimage: a metamodern sacred experience that coexists with thrash. 
 
 
 
Markiyan Kamysh, whose father worked as an on-site disaster liquidator of Chornobyl, works as a "stalker," guiding people who dare to venture into the disaster area for thrills. Kamysh tells us about thieves who hide in the abandoned buildings, the policemen who chase them, and the romantic utopists who have built families here, even as deadly toxic waste lingers in the buildings, playgrounds, and streams. 
 
 
 
More than extraordinary guide to this alien world, Kamysh writes with a singular style that is both brash and bold, conferring an understated elegance to this dystopian reality. Stalking the Atomic City is a haunting account of what total autonomy could mean in our growingly fractured world.

Peig Sayers Vol 1 - Labharfad le...

Pádraig Ó Héalaí, Bo Almqvist

'Ach cérbh í Peig Sayers?'
Níorbh í in aon chor an tseanbhean ologónach í ar chuir na glúnta de dhaltaí scoile aithne uirthi. Is léir ó chuntais uathu siúd arbh eol dóibh í gur bhean ghrámhar thuisceanach í a raibh acmhainn grinn inti; bean a fuair blas ar ghal tobac agus ar bhraoinín fuisce, agus a bhí oilte ar chraiceann a chur ar scéal.

Saolaíodh Peig i nDún Chaoin i gCo. Chiarraí i 1873. Thug sí bua na scéalaíochta léi óna hathair agus tugadh a sárchuimhne agus an lé a bhí aici le comhluadar faoi deara go luath. Phós sí iascaire ón mBlascaod agus chaith sí saol cruógach i dteaghlach líonmhar ag déanamh cúraim don seisear leanbh léi a mhair.

Tugann Labharfad le Cách le chéile den chéad uair na taifeadtaí a thóg an BBC agus RTÉ uaithi i 1946, 1947 agus 1953, mar aon le haistriúcháin Bhéarla orthu. Léiríonn siad fairsinge repertoire Pheig idir scéalta cráifeacha, paidreacha, scéalta rómánsacha, scéalta faoin osádúr agus cuntais ar an saol a caitheadh tráth ar an oileán ach go bhfuil a chuimhne ag dul i léig anois.
'Who was that Peig Sayers?'
She was anything but the maudlin and old-fashioned Peig remembered by generations of school children. From the descriptions of those who met her, the real Peig emerges as a warm, wise and humorous woman, with an addiction to tobacco, a fondness for a sup of whiskey and a mastery of the art of 'spin'.

Born in Dún Chaoin in County Kerry in 1873, Peig learned the art of storytelling at her father's knee, and quickly became known for her sociable nature and excellent memory. Marrying a fisherman from the Great Blasket, she enjoyed a full life with a large extended family and the care of her six living children.

I Will Speak to You All collects, for the first time, in both Irish and English, the recordings made by the BBC and RTÉ of Peig Sayers in 1946, 1947 and 1953. They illustrate Peig's repertoire, ranging from religious stories and prayers to humorous, romantic, even supernatural tales, as well as descriptions of an island life that is passing from living memory.
