  Logical Diversions and...

  This book consists of the following two titles: 
  - The Red Herring Fallacy: The Red Herring Fallacy is a common and effective tool for diverting attention from the main issue in an argument. It occurs when irrelevant information or topics are introduced into a discussion, leading the audience away from the core subject. The name "red herring" originates from an old English practice of using smoked fish to distract hunting dogs from a scent trail. In the context of logical reasoning, the concept is metaphorical, describing tactics that mislead or confuse. At its heart, the Red Herring Fallacy exploits our natural tendencies to become sidetracked by emotionally charged, intriguing, or seemingly relevant details. The distraction can take many forms: an unrelated anecdote, a tangential issue, or even an outright falsehood designed to provoke. These diversions can be deliberate, crafted to manipulate the audience, or unintentional, stemming from poor argumentation or misunderstanding. Regardless of intent, the result is the same—a shift in focus away from the actual matter at hand. 
  - The Straw Man Fallacy: The Straw Man Fallacy is one of the most pervasive forms of logical misrepresentation, often employed to simplify complex arguments for easier refutation. At its core, this fallacy involves constructing a distorted or exaggerated version of an opponent's position, subsequently attacking this weakened argument instead of addressing the original point. The technique, though logically flawed, can be compelling, as it plays on cognitive biases and simplifies discourse in ways that resonate with audiences.

  A Kirkus Most Anticipated Book of Fall 2024 
   
   
   
  We see notebooks everywhere we go. But where did these indispensable implements come from? How did they revolutionize our lives? And how can using a notebook help change the way you think? In this wide-ranging history, Roland Allen reveals how the notebook became our most dependable and versatile tool for creative thinking. He tells the notebook stories of Leonardo and Frida Kahlo, Isaac Newton and Marie Curie, and writers from Chaucer to Henry James; shows how Darwin developed his theory of evolution in tiny pocket books and Agatha Christie plotted a hundred murders in scrappy exercise books; and introduces a host of cooks, kings, sailors, fishermen, musicians, engineers, politicians, adventurers, and mathematicians, all of whom used their notebooks as a space to think—and in doing so, shaped the modern world. 
   
   
   
  In an age of AI and digital overload, the humble notebook is more relevant than ever. Allen shows how bullet points can combat ADHD, journals can ease PTSD, and patient diaries soften the trauma of reawakening from coma. The everyday act of moving a pen across paper, he finds, can have profound consequences, changing the way we think and feel: making us more creative, more productive—and maybe even happier.

  The English Civil Wars - 1640-1660

  A brilliant appraisal of the Civil War and its long-term consequences, by an acclaimed historian. 
   
   
   
  The political upheaval of the mid-seventeenth century has no parallel in English history. Other events have changed the occupancy and the powers of the throne, but the conflict of 1640-60 was more dramatic: the monarchy and the House of Lords were abolished, to be replaced by a republic and military rule. 
   
   
   
  In this wonderfully listenable account, Blair Worden explores the events of this period and their origins—the war between King and Parliament, the execution of Charles I, Cromwell's rule and the Restoration—while aiming to reveal something more elusive: the motivations of contemporaries on both sides and the concerns of later generations.

  The New Superior

  LEADERSHIP AND TEAMWORK ARE NOT NATURAL, unlike hierarchies and the dominance behaviors that are common within them. True leaders are those who've experienced the critical transformations needed to develop a naturally high capacity for influencing the members of a team in a way that inspires collaboration. If they haven't, their efforts to influence are awkward, careless, and damaging. The good news, however, is that this transformation is always within reach, no matter how much or how little leadership experience you have. But it begins by confronting centuries-old attitudes about what it means to be....a superior. THE NEW SUPERIOR is a bold but heartfelt tutorial on the fundamentals of contemporary high-stakes leadership, drawn from the unique experiences and insights of one of America's most respected forensic laboratory executives who reminds us that urgency is what energizes teams in the face of existential threats. Unfortunately, momentum is often sacrificed by toxic influencers whose need to dominate suppresses collaboration, even in matters of life and death. From the bombing of the 1996 Olympics to the brutal slaying of a young fashion model near Chicago, John M. Collins takes you inside of pressure-packed situations where two opposing styles of leadership confront each other in a primitive and dangerous struggle. In this struggle you will learn that both styles live within you, but only one will allow you to become the leader that people trust when everything is on the line.

  A German air force officer’s first person account of aerial battle during the invasion of Sicily in WWII.   In an account of unusual power, Luftwaffe ace Johannes Steinhoff draws from his personal World War II diary to recount the final days of the German air force on Sicily in June and July 1943. Facing crushing odds—including a commander, Hermann Goring, who contemptuously treated his pilots as cowards—Steinhoff and his fellow Messerschmitt 109 pilots took to the skies day after day to meet waves of dreaded Flying Fortresses and swarms of Allied fighters, all bent on driving the Germans from the island. A captivating narrative and a piercing analysis, this book is a classic of aerial combat.
