One of the most important breakthroughs in military technology associated with World War I, and certainly the one that continues to capture the public imagination, was the use of airplanes, which were a virtual novelty a decade before. While the war quickly ground to a halt in its first few months, the skies above the Western Front became increasingly busy. The great powers had already been acquiring aircraft for potential uses, but given that aerial warfare had never been a major component of any conflict, it’s understandable that few on either side had any idea what the planes were capable of doing. Furthermore, at the start of the war, all sides’ aircraft were ill-equipped for combat mostly because the idea that planes might somehow fight was still a novel one, and the adaptations had not yet been developed that would allow the aerial battles later in the war. As a result, aircraft were used almost entirely for reconnaissance early on, allowing generals to gain unprecedented levels of information about enemy movements. Such intelligence allowed the French to counter German movements in what became the First Battle of the Marne, ending Germany’s hopes for victory through the Schlieffen plan. Similarly, in the east, German planes were vital in tracking, encircling and destroying Russian forces at Tannenberg. The Royal Air Force (RAF), Britain's legendary air arm, was born in the skies above the First World War. The British had previously used balloons for spotting and reconnaissance for decades, and in the years leading up to the war, planes started seeing military use. They mostly provided reconnaissance, though experiments were made in using them offensively. During the Boer War of 1899-1902, the British Army used the crews of helium-filled balloons to plot and help target artillery fire. But these were small, tentative steps. The first patent to fit a machine gun to a plane, taken out in 1910, had not yet led to active fighting vehicles.Show book

Symposium is a philosophical text written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, believed to have been composed in the late 4th century BCE. The book is a dialogue between a group of distinguished Athenians, who have gathered together to discuss the nature of love and beauty. The dialogue takes place during a symposium, or dinner party, hosted by the tragedian Agathon. The guests, including Socrates, Aristophanes, and Alcibiades, take turns giving speeches in praise of love, each offering their own unique perspective on the subject. Throughout the text, Plato explores the nature of love and its role in human life, examining the ways in which it can inspire us to reach for greater heights of knowledge and understanding, while also causing us great pain and suffering. The speeches given by the various characters in the text are rich with symbolism and metaphor, and offer a wide range of interpretations and insights into the nature of love. At its core, Symposium is a meditation on the human condition, and the ways in which we grapple with our own mortality and the limitations of our existence. Through its exploration of love and beauty, the book offers a profound reflection on the nature of human experience, and the search for meaning and purpose in our lives.Show book

Only 40 years after the Spanish arrival in Cusco, Peru, Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa (1532–1592) was commissioned in 1572 by Francisco de Toledo, the fifth Viceroy of Peru, to write a history of the Incas. Toledo intended this history to justify Spanish colonization by documenting the violent and tyrannical nature of the Inca rulers. Sarmiento gathered information through extensive interviews with indigenous informants, former Incan nobles, local leaders, and surviving Spanish conquistadors. To ensure accuracy, his manuscript was read and reviewed by 42 indigenous authorities before publication. This audiobook presents a reading of Sarmiento de Gamboa’s chapter on one of the most influential and formidable Inca emperors: Túpac Inca Yupanqui, the tenth Sapa Inca. Like his father Pachacuti and his son Huayna Capac, Túpac Inca expanded the Inca Empire, bringing under Inca control the territories of much of present-day Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, Argentina, and beyond. He also lived to an advanced age and fathered nearly one hundred children. The narrator is Michael Henrik Wynn, editor of the educational net radio stream historyradio.org.Show book
