Sinossi

Cavalry Charges offers a comprehensive exploration of mounted warfare, tracing its evolution from ancient times to the modern era. It examines how cavalry charges, an iconic military tactic, have influenced battlefield outcomes and broader historical trends.

 
The book argues that these charges represent a complex interplay of technology, tactics, and societal values, demonstrating that their success depended on factors beyond just skilled riders and quality horses. For example, the introduction of firearms forced cavalry to adapt, leading to new formations and tactics alongside infantry and artillery.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with the origins of mounted warfare and the rise of knights in medieval Europe, even analyzing the limitations exposed at battles like Crécy. It then shifts to the Napoleonic Wars, highlighting cavalry's strategic role, before analyzing its decline in the 20th century and its legacy in modern armor warfare.

 
Drawing upon diverse sources, it offers a fresh perspective on military history, challenging conventional wisdom about the enduring importance of cavalry. Did you know that cavalry saw a brief resurgence in World War I, despite the dominance of machine guns?

    Society has a blind spot―and one in three men are paying the price. 
    Millions of men experience domestic abuse. Yet their suffering is routinely dismissed, minimized, or outright denied. Trapped by shame, stigma, and cultural myths about masculinity, they endure abuse in silence. Often, they lack the language to describe their experiences and face systems unwilling to protect them. 
    In Shameful Silence, human rights attorney Alexandra Lozano exposes the hidden epidemic of male domestic abuse. With unflinching honesty, legal precision, and deep compassion, Lozano draws on seventeen years of frontline experience to advocate for vulnerable individuals in complex legal systems. She reveals a vital truth few confront: abuse can devastate without leaving bruises. 
    Through survivor accounts and rigorous research, this book reveals sophisticated, often invisible tactics used against men, including gaslighting, financial control, parental alienation, false allegations, and using custody battles and immigration status as weapons. These abuses leave no visible scars yet dismantle identity, isolate victims, and destroy lives. 
    Blending legal insight, psychological research, and deeply human storytelling, Shameful Silence challenges entrenched stereotypes about victimhood and masculinity. Lozano reframes strength not as silence but as truth. She offers listeners clarity and validation that so many male survivors have never received.

    A COSMIC CONUNDRUM—This astonishing book follows our ascendancy from just another hominin on the open African savannah to the alpha hegemon on Earth today endangering its entire future. Along the way, humans methodically outwitted their competition with phenomenal efficiency and indifference, to emerge in the modern 21st century as the linchpin of a major mass extinction of countless other lifeforms cohabiting their planet with them. The shredding of our fragile ecosphere by massive proliferation and monopolistic overconsumption of Earth’s precious resources by a single invasive species, along with the inexorable combustion of deadly fossil fuels to acquire the energy needed to sustain their profligate and lavish lifestyle, is threatening to drive H. sapiens itself into extinction within the next 300 years. This is the true story of that improbable adventure!

  • Anglo-Saxons and the Normans The: The History of the Kingdoms that Fought Over England in the 11th Century - cover

    Anglo-Saxons and the Normans...

    When Roman control of Britannia broke down, the Anglo-Saxons – who had been harassing the Saxon Shore as pirates – showed up and began to settle the land, creating a patchwork of little kingdoms and starting a new era of British history. Several early medieval historians, writing well after the events, said the Anglo-Saxons were invited to Britain to defend the region from the northern tribes and ended up taking over. The Venerable Bede (672 or 673-735) said in his Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum (“Ecclesiastical History of the English People”) that in the year 449, “The British consulted what was to be done and where they should seek assistance to prevent or repel the cruel and frequent incursions of the northern nations. They all agreed with their king Vortigern to call over to their aid, from the parts beyond the sea, the Saxon nation. … The two first commanders are said to have been Hengist and Horsa.” 
    However they came to control most of England, the Anglo-Saxons became the dominant power in the region for nearly 500 years, and the strength of their cultural influence could be felt even after William the Conqueror won the Battle of Hastings and became the first Norman ruler on the island. In the generations leading up to William’s historic campaign, kingdoms fall, others rose, and the kingdom of England took shape under the guiding hand of kings like Alfred the Great and Æthelstan. At the same time, the Anglo-Saxons forged enough of a national culture that when William did conquer the island, the efforts to consolidate his rule in England were complicated from the start, both due to external enemies and those jockeying for his position while he was still alive. The Normans would manage just barely to cling to power over England, and William remains the last foreign conqueror of the island.
