Summary

Aircraft Carriers explores the sweeping history and revolutionary impact of these warships, which redefined naval warfare and international relations. The book examines how aircraft carriers transformed naval dominance by acting as floating airfields, projecting military power across the globe. One intriguing fact is how these carriers shifted from support roles to becoming the centerpiece of naval operations, influencing fleet composition and power projection strategies.

 
The book chronologically details the evolution of aircraft carriers, from early converted cruisers to nuclear-powered supercarriers, highlighting advancements in flight deck design and aircraft technology. It also analyzes their roles in major conflicts like World War II and the Cold War, illustrating how these mobile, sovereign territories project military, economic, and political influence far beyond a nation's shores. The text supports its arguments using primary source documentation, including naval archives and declassified military reports.

 
The book uses a narrative non-fiction approach, presenting technical details in an accessible style for a broad audience interested in military history, naval strategy, and international relations. While covering the global impact, it primarily focuses on the carriers of the US Navy, Royal Navy, and Imperial Japanese Navy, presenting a balanced assessment of their continued relevance in an era of new military technologies.

Magus Book 3 The - Biographia...

Francis Barrett F.R.C.

In this third and final book of The Magus, Francis Barrett turns from magical practice to magical history—presenting a rare and invaluable compendium of the great minds who shaped Western occult philosophy. 
Book III offers concise biographical accounts of dozens of ancient, medieval, and Renaissance adepts, including Zoroaster, Hermes Trismegistus, Pythagoras, Paracelsus, Roger Bacon, Agrippa, and more. These are the sages, mystics, alchemists, astrologers, and magicians whose teachings laid the foundation for everything in The Magus. 
Far more than a bibliography, this is a spiritual lineage—a transmission of ideas and inspiration across generations. By exploring the lives and writings of these visionaries, Barrett reveals the continuity of esoteric wisdom through the centuries and situates his own work within a long tradition of initiates and seekers. 
Whether you're a student of occult history or a practitioner of the arts, Book III offers insight into the intellectual and spiritual giants upon whose shoulders modern magic stands. Their philosophies echo across time—and this volume preserves their legacy.

As well as fighting male domination, feminism can also defend different expressions of gender and sexuality. By examining the ideas defended by the different currents and how they fit into the social landscape, this book clarifies the direction in which they must unite if feminism is to remain a historically fertile movement.

Abraham Lincoln - His Life Death...

Kelly Mass

From 1861 till his assassination in 1865, Abraham Lincoln was an American legal representative and statesman who functioned as the 16th president of the United States. Lincoln led the nation through the American Civil War, preserving the Union, eliminating slavery, enhancing the federal government, and helping the economy of the United States. 
Lincoln grew up on the frontier, mainly in Indiana, and was born into poverty in a log cabin. He was self-taught and went on to end up being a legal representative, Whig Party leader, Illinois state lawmaker, and member of the U.S.A. Congress for Illinois. 
In 1849, he resumed his law business, but was bothered by the Kansas-- Nebraska Act, which permitted farther terrain to be opened to slavery. In 1854, he went back to politics as a leader of the freshly formed Republican politician Party, and in 1858, he disputed Stephen Douglas in front of a nationwide audience. 
Let’s learn more about this distinct, important, prominent figure in the United States’ history.
