Synopsis

Artillery Barrages explores the devastating impact of sustained artillery bombardments throughout history, from World War I's trench warfare to modern conflicts. It examines both the physical destruction and the profound psychological effects on soldiers and civilians, arguing that artillery warfare has continuously tested human endurance. Readers will gain insights into how military strategy, technological innovation, and psychological resilience have adapted in response to increasingly powerful artillery. The book uniquely integrates technological, psychological, and ethical dimensions into a cohesive narrative.

 
Did you know that the relentless pressure of artillery fire led to "shell shock," now known as PTSD, highlighting the severe psychological toll of war? The evolution of artillery, from rudimentary beginnings to precision-guided munitions, showcases significant technological advancements and tactical shifts. The book progresses through historical context, psychological impact, and ethical considerations, providing a comprehensive understanding of artillery's role in shaping warfare.

    Political commentator and media personality Will Witt gives young conservatives the ammunition they need to fight back against the liberal media in this instant national bestseller. Popular culture in America today is dominated by the left. Most young people have never even heard of conservative values from someone their age, and if they do, the message is often bland and outdated. Almost every Hollywood actor, musician, media personality, and role model for young people in America rejects conservative values, and Gen Zs and millennials are quick to regurgitate these viewpoints without developing their own opinions on issues.   So many young conservatives in America want to stand up for their beliefs in their classrooms, at their jobs, with their friends, or on social media, but they don't have the tools to do so. In How to Win Friends and Influence Enemies, Will Witt arms Gen Zs and millennials with the knowledge and skills to combat the leftist narrative they hear every day.  Instant National Bestseller!

    Simply Responsible - Basic Blame...

    We evaluate people all the time for a wide variety of activities. We blame them for miscalculations, uninspired art, and committing crimes. We praise them for detailed brushwork, a superb pass, and their acts of kindness. We accomplish things, from solving crosswords to mastering guitar solos. We bungle our endeavors, whether this is letting a friend down or burning dinner. Sometimes these deeds are morally significant, but many times they are not. 
     
     
     
    Simply Responsible defends the radical proposal that the blameworthy artist is responsible in just the same way that the blameworthy thief is. We can be responsible for all kinds of different activities, from lip-synching to long division, from murders to meringues, but the relation involved, what author Matt King calls the basic responsibility relation, is the same in every case. We are responsible for the things we do first, then blameworthy or praiseworthy for having done them in light of whether they're good or bad, according to a variety of standards. 
     
     
     
    According to most accounts, moral responsibility is either a special species of responsibility or else depends on moralized capacities. In contrast, King argues that we get a more complete and unifying picture of responsible agency from a more general theory of responsibility.

    This fascinating biography follows the life of one of the most extraordinary psychologists of modern times, Carl Jung, and the incredible impact he made on our understanding of the human mind. 
     
    Author Lily Yuan takes us on a journey through Jung's life, beginning with the formative years of his childhood through his tumultuous relationship with fellow psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud to his travels across the world in his later years. Jung developed such innovative ideas as extraversion and introversion, the shadow, and synchronicity; created a range of stunning works of art, and his legacy can be seen all around us in the music we listen to, the stories we read and the movies we watch. 
     
    With clear explanations of his groundbreaking ideas and insights into Jung's unique personality, this is a compelling introduction to one of the great minds of the 20th century.

    "A superior volume on Christian antiracism."--Publishers Weekly 
     
    Racism is omnipresent in American life, both public and private. We are immersed in what prominent faith leader Willie Dwayne Francois III calls white noise--the racist speech, ideas, and policies that lull us into inaction on racial justice. White noise masks racial realities and prevents constructive responses to microaggressions, structural inequality, and overt interpersonal racism. 
     
    In this book, Francois calls people of all racial backgrounds to take up practices that overcome silence and inaction on race and that advance racial repair. Drawing from his anti-racism curriculum, the Public Love Organizing and Training (PLOT) Project, Francois encourages us to move from a "colorblind" stance of mythic innocence to one that takes an honest account of our national history and acknowledges our complicity in racism as a prelude to anti-racist interventions. 
     
    Weaving together personal narrative, theology, and history, this book invites us to engage 6 "rhythms of reparative intercession." These are six practices of anti-racism that aim to repair harm by speaking up and "acting up" on behalf of others. Silencing White Noise offers concrete ways to help people wrest free from the dangers of racism and to develop lifelong Christian anti-racist practices.

    The astonishing story of America’s airwaves, the two friends—one a media mogul, the other a famous inventor—who made them available to us, and the government which figured out how to put a price on air. 
    This is the origin story of the airwaves—the foundational technology of the communications age—as told through the forty-year friendship of an entrepreneurial industrialist and a brilliant inventor. 
    David Sarnoff, the head of RCA and equal parts Steve Jobs, Jack Welch, and William Randolph Hearst, was the greatest supporter of his friend Edwin Armstrong, developer of the first amplifier, the modern radio transmitter, and FM radio. Sarnoff was convinced that Armstrong’s inventions had the power to change the way societies communicated with each other forever. He would become a visionary captain of the media industry, even predicting the advent of the Internet. 
    In the mid-1930s, however, when Armstrong suspected Sarnoff of orchestrating a cadre of government officials to seize control of the FM airwaves, he committed suicide. Sarnoff had a very different view of who his friend’s enemies were. 
    Many corrupt politicians and corporations saw in Armstrong’s inventions the opportunity to commodify our most ubiquitous natural resource—the air. This early alliance between high tech and business set the precedent for countless legal and industrial battles over broadband and licensing bandwidth, many of which continue to influence policy and debate today.
