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.

    The Dictionary of Posh -...

    The Dictionary of Posh serves as an essential guide to the (ab)use of many English words by the decidedly up-market and the resultant — and endangered — language they speak: Posh.

Hugh Kellett hilariously captures the spirit and nuances of those who speak Posh and, allied with Oliver Preston's brilliantly accurate cartoons, this book is the key to understanding and interpreting this language ?— literally with tongue-in-cheek.

Hidden within normal English is a separate language still spoken by those born with silver spoons in their mouths. It's called Posh. A word of English can be spelt the same but mean something completely different in Posh. If you say the word 'Mention' in English, people will understand 'Remark upon'; but in Posh this means a large house. Say 'Ace' and speakers of Posh will think you are referring to a cold thing one's butler puts in one's G&T.

    The Invisible Bond - Exploring...

    She told me she hadn't left her apartment in eleven days. The grocery delivery sat inside the front door. She had eaten what she could reach from her bed. Her therapist had called twice; she let it go to voicemail. Then her dog pressed its body against her side—and something shifted. 
The Invisible Bond is the first book in The Invisible Series by Dr. Patrick Fisher—clinician, researcher, and founder of TheraPetic. Built on original doctoral research at Walden University, this book goes beyond clinical data to capture what it actually feels like to manage anxiety with an emotional support animal by your side. 
Through in-depth qualitative interviews with adults living with clinically significant anxiety, Dr. Fisher documents the themes that emerged: presence, routine, grounding, connection, and the quiet ways an animal can hold space for a person who is struggling. 
This book is for clinicians seeking to better serve clients who rely on ESAs. For individuals navigating anxiety with an animal companion. For policymakers making decisions about rights they may not fully understand. And for anyone who has ever been told that needing an animal is a weakness rather than a strategy of survival. 
The science has not changed. Cortisol still drops. Oxytocin still releases. The autonomic nervous system still responds. This book documents why—and what it means for the future of mental health care. 
The Invisible Series continues with The Invisible Disability, The Invisible Law, The Invisible Prison, The Invisible Identity, and The Invisible Data.

    The primary mission of military intelligence in the United States Army is to provide timely, relevant, accurate, and synchronized intelligence and electronic warfare support to tactical, operational and strategic-level commanders. The Army’s intelligence components produce intelligence both for Army use and for sharing across the national intelligence community. The military will subject someone to a polygraph for several reasons: If that person needs to access confidential files; if they are accused of leaking government secrets; if they are accused of terrorism or of being a spy; if they are a foreign national who needs access to classified material, and several other reasons. The following is a 1960s Army training recording with information on administering a lie detector test.
