Sinopsis

Celtic Warriors explores the military history of the Celts, revealing how their warrior culture shaped their society and influenced warfare from the British Isles to mainland Europe. This book moves beyond stereotypical portrayals to examine the sophisticated weaponry, innovative battle tactics, and the profound warrior ethos that defined them. Readers will discover how the decentralized tribal structure of the Celts allowed for a flexible approach to warfare, challenging established powers like Rome. Their military prowess wasn't just about individual bravery; it was deeply rooted in their social structure and religious beliefs. The book presents its analysis through three core themes: Celtic weaponry, battle strategies, and the impact of warrior culture on Celtic society. By integrating archaeological evidence with textual analysis and anthropological insights, Celtic Warriors reconstructs a comprehensive picture of Celtic warfare. For example, archaeological finds like weapon caches shed light on their arms, while classical texts, though often biased, offer perspectives on Celtic warfare. Unfolding chapter by chapter, the book begins with the origins and spread of Celtic culture, progresses to detailed examinations of their arms and armor, and then analyzes their battle tactics in specific engagements, such as the Battle of Allia. Finally, it explores the Celtic warrior ethos and connects Celtic warfare to broader trends in ancient military history, providing a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in ancient or military history.

The Fight for Privacy -...

Danielle Keats Citron

Privacy is disappearing. From our sex lives to our workout routines, the details of our lives once relegated to pen and paper have joined the slipstream of new technology. As a MacArthur fellow and distinguished professor of law at the University of Virginia, acclaimed civil rights advocate Danielle Citron has spent decades working with lawmakers and stakeholders across the globe to protect what she calls intimate privacy—encompassing our bodies, health, gender, and relationships. When intimate privacy becomes data, corporations know exactly when to flash that ad for a new drug or pregnancy test. Social and political forces know how to manipulate what you think and who you trust, leveraging sensitive secrets and deepfake videos to ruin or silence opponents. And as new technologies invite new violations, people have power over one another like never before, from revenge porn to blackmail, attaching life-altering risks to growing up, dating online, or falling in love. 
 
 
 
A masterful new look at privacy in the twenty-first century, The Fight for Privacy takes the focus off Silicon Valley moguls to investigate the price we pay as technology migrates deeper into every aspect of our lives: entering our bedrooms and our bathrooms and our midnight texts; our relationships with friends, family, lovers, and kids; and even our relationship with ourselves.

Martin Griffin, Steve Oakes

Offers 40 concrete, practical tools and activities that will supercharge learners' ambition, organisation, persistence and determination.

This book looks at how you can help learners manage their workload and take control of their own knowledge and skills. It explores the characteristics, qualities and habits of successful students and shares forty replicable tools and tactics that all students can use immediately, both in and out of the classroom – activities that will help them to set goals, work more efficiently, organise their resources, revise more effectively and solve problems. This book is a perfect introduction to the VESPA approach, as well as being a practical addition to previous resources. The VESPA Handbook will help teachers develop the five key characteristics and behaviours that students need to be successful: vision, effort, systems, practice and attitude. When it comes to achieving academic success, these characteristics are crucial. Suitable for teachers, tutors and parents who want to boost academic outcomes in 14–18-year-olds and equip them with powerful tools and techniques in preparation for further education and employment.

No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority is a provocative and thought-provoking exploration of the principles of government, liberty, and individual sovereignty. Written in the aftermath of the American Civil War, this bold text challenges the legitimacy of the U.S. Constitution, arguing that no individual can be morally bound by a contract they did not willingly and explicitly consent to. With sharp reasoning and a relentless critique of state authority, this book invites readers to reconsider the nature of governance and the true meaning of freedom. An essential read for anyone interested in libertarian philosophy, political theory, and the enduring questions of consent and authority.
