Sinopsis

Castle Defenses explores the fascinating world of medieval castles, revealing how these architectural marvels were ingeniously designed to withstand sieges and protect inhabitants. The book examines the evolution of castle defenses, from simple moats and walls to complex systems of towers, keeps, and gatehouses, emphasizing the strategic deployment of these structures. 

 
Discover how the concentric walls improved defense, and how gatehouses became deadly choke points using drawbridges and portcullises. The book argues that a castle's effectiveness depended not just on physical strength but on strategic design and technological innovation, challenging the notion of castles as static barriers. It presents evidence from archaeological surveys, medieval chronicles, and architectural studies. 

 
The approach is chronological, progressing from the basic principles of castle design to the impact of gunpowder weaponry, offering insights into the arms race between besiegers and defenders. This study provides a comprehensive overview of medieval castle design, emphasizing the interplay between architectural innovation and military tactics. 

 
Delving into the interior defenses like keeps and secret passages, the book assesses how these prolonged resistance and facilitated counterattacks. Castle Defenses is a valuable resource for military history buffs and architecture enthusiasts alike, offering a deeper understanding of these iconic structures.

Incidents in the Life of a Slave...

Harriet Ann Jacobs

Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, written by herself is an autobiography by Harriet Ann Jacobs, a young mother and fugitive slave, published in 1861 by L. Maria Child, who edited the book for its author. Jacobs used the pseudonym Linda Brent. The book documents Jacobs's life as a slave and how she gained freedom for herself and for her children. Jacobs contributed to the genre of slave narrative by using the techniques of sentimental novels "to address race and gender issues." She explores the struggles and sexual abuse that female slaves faced on plantations as well as their efforts to practice motherhood and protect their children when their children might be sold away.In the book, Jacobs addresses white Northern women who fail to comprehend the evils of slavery. She makes direct appeals to their humanity to expand their knowledge and influence their thoughts about slavery as an institution.Jacobs began composing Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl after her escape to New York, while living and working at Idlewild, the Hudson River home of writer and publisher Nathaniel Parker Willis. Portions of her journals were published in serial form in the New-York Tribune, owned and edited by Horace Greeley. Jacobs's reports of sexual abuse were deemed too shocking for the average newspaper reader of the day, and publication ceased before the completion of the narrative.Notable works Harriet Ann Jacobs: Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (1861).

Foundations of Our Democracy:...

Various Authors

In 1776, the United States of America was born from a document that declared all men created equal and free to choose who they serve in this world. What followed was a difficult fight against a monarchy, a fight that ended with the creation of a powerful country built on the tenets of freedom and equality. These documents are some of the foundational writings from the earliest days of the country that have shaped the United States government for centuries:The Declaration of Independence – This was the formal decree that the 13 colonies wished to separate from the rule of England. This essay declares that the rulership of England had been unjust and did not give the people living in America proper representation in the government, and declared independence from the King of Great Britain.The Constitution – The Constitution of the United States was adopted as the supreme law of the country in 1789. This document, along with its amendments, is the instruction manual for running the United States’ democracy, from outlining the three branches of government to enacting a protocol for succession of power. The Federalist Papers – The Federalist Papers were a series of articles written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison. The essays present the reasoning and logic behind each article of the Constitution, and were written to garner congressional support for its ratification. Today, they are used to assist in interpreting the intentions of the original supporters of the Constitution.The Bill of Rights – The Bill of Rights is the set of the first 10 amendments added to the Constitution. These amendments outline inalienable and natural rights for individuals, as well as stating that states have the power to create their own laws for matters not addressed in the Constitution.
