Sinopsis

"Manmade Handweapons" presents a comprehensive exploration of personal armaments throughout human history, examining how these tools shaped warfare, culture, and civilization. This detailed reference work traces the fascinating journey from primitive stone implements to sophisticated modern tactical weapons, while analyzing the crucial technological breakthroughs that revolutionized combat throughout the ages.

 
The book uniquely weaves together three fundamental aspects: technological evolution, cultural significance, and military tactical impact. Through four chronological sections spanning from prehistory to the present day, the book illuminates major technological watersheds such as the Bronze Age's metallurgical innovations and the medieval period's advanced sword-making techniques.

 
What sets this work apart is its multidisciplinary approach, combining archaeological findings, historical documents, and modern engineering studies to provide readers with a complete understanding of each weapon's capabilities and cultural context. The analysis of manufacturing methods, from early stone-knapping to contemporary composite materials, demonstrates how advances in materials science parallel weapon sophistication.

 
The book stands out for its systematic examination of each weapon type's physical properties and practical applications, supported by detailed diagrams and photographic evidence. This approach makes complex technical concepts accessible to both general readers and specialists, while maintaining scholarly rigor through evidence-based analysis. Whether exploring the relationship between weapon development and trade routes or examining how combat techniques evolved with new technologies, the work offers valuable insights for military historians, weapons collectors, martial artists, and anyone interested in the intersection of human innovation and warfare.

    Is your child a picky eater? Do they insist on having the same foods served over and over again? For many kids, picky eating is a sensory issue—whether it's the smell, taste, texture, or appearance of food. So, how can you help your child overcome these sensory sensitivities and ensure that they get the nourishment they need? 
     
     
     
    Written by a pediatric occupational therapist with a specialty certification in feeding, eating, and swallowing, Raising Adventurous Eaters offers eight evidence-based sensory strategies to help kids foster a healthy relationship with food. You'll learn all about how picky eating can be caused by sensory processing differences, and find step-by-step strategies for dealing with each sense. By learning to lean into their senses, children will better understand what's going on in their bodies. This fosters an intuitive eating approach, teaching kids to listen to their body's hunger and fullness cues and respect and respond to those cues appropriately. 
     
     
     
    Whether or not your child has a diagnosis of sensory processing disorder (SPD), or simply has sensory sensitivities when it comes to food, this book will help you set your child up for successful mealtimes, turning the most stressful time of the day into a time that your family can spend relaxing and bonding together around the table.

    The Times Best Politics and Current Affairs Books of the YearAn entertaining and revealing history of modern British politics from Steve Richards, broadcaster, journalist, and author of The Prime Ministers We Never Had.'Through wonderful vignettes, Richards offers a masterful, clear-eyed and, above all, entertaining history of British politics. To pilot a better future, we need to learn how not to repeat the mistakes of the past. The book is a lesson in just that' – Will HuttonEvery few weeks in British politics, a columnist will reach for the word ‘unprecedented’ as a cabinet minister resigns or yet another inquiry is called. We have become so accustomed to turmoil that it is impossible to take a breath and see where we are headed. In this magisterial history, respected broadcaster and journalist Steve Richards puts the recent chaos into context and takes a step back to explore ten critical moments that have shaped modern Britain.From the Suez Crisis of 1956 to the Covid-19 pandemic, from 1945 to Thatcher, Richards argues that it is only with distance that we can perceive the tectonic plates shifting – and events that may seem earth-shattering in the moment might be a passing tremor with the perspective of history.With his trademark insight, forged over several decades as one of the UK’s foremost political commentators, Richards blends anecdote and analysis to explore the biggest events in British political history. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand our nation, this landmark work is enlightening and entertaining in equal measure.'An engaging canter through postwar Britain . . . shaped by a lifetime of reading' – Prospect

    The concept of intersectionality has become a central topic in academic and activist circles alike. But what exactly does it mean, and why has it emerged as such a vital lens through which to explore how social inequalities of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, ability, and ethnicity shape one another?  
     
     
      
    In this fully revised and expanded second edition of their popular text, Patricia Hill Collins and Sirma Bilge provide a much-needed introduction to the field of intersectional knowledge and praxis. Analyzing the emergence, growth, and contours of the concept of intersectionality, the authors also consider its global reach through an array of new topics such as the rise of far-right populism, reproductive justice, climate change, and digital environments and cultures. Accessibly written and drawing on a plethora of lively examples to illustrate its arguments, the book highlights intersectionality's potential for understanding complex architecture of social and economic inequalities and bringing about social justice-oriented change. 
     
     
      
    Intersectionality will be an invaluable resource for anyone grappling with the main ideas, debates, and new directions in this field.
