Summary

Desert Warfare explores how the desert environment has shaped military history in the Middle East, arguing that it's not merely a backdrop to conflict, but an active participant. The book examines how extreme temperatures and limited resources have influenced military strategy, tactics, and logistics from ancient times to modern conflicts like the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. Interestingly, commanders who adapted to the desert's challenges often gained a strategic advantage, highlighting the crucial role of environmental awareness in military success.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with ancient battles and moving through key historical periods like the Arab conquests and World War II North Africa campaign. Each chapter delves into specific battles, analyzing how environmental factors shaped tactical decisions and overall campaign outcomes.

 
By integrating environmental history with military history, Desert Warfare offers a unique perspective, revealing how a seemingly passive environment can become a decisive weapon.

    The Wisdom Years - Unleashing...

    We are now experiencing one of the most significant revolutions in human life: the dramatic rise in life expectancy. This revolution does not imply, as most people usually think, that we've simply got more years of old age. Rather, it implies the formation of a new period in human life: the Age of Wisdom. This age is qualitatively different from the adulthood that precedes it and the old age that follows. People who are able to prepare themselves for this new age will be able to enjoy an active, wise and satisfying stage of life, which will enable them to delay their 'old age' to the very end of their life. 
      
    The Wisdom Years provides a practical, thought-provoking and life-changing read for both people embarking on retirement as well as younger people who would like to mindfully prepare themselves in advance. Derived from Dr Lanir's lifetime of work experience in identifying mindsets that are no longer helpful or relevant to current reality, it reveals how we can reframe our thought processes and mindset so that we can live life based on our 'functional age' rather than our 'chronological age'. 
      
    The result is a book that carries a unique and inspiring message: life in the wisdom years is to be enjoyed and planned for as a new and uplifting journey of personal evolution.

    Sign-Language and Mythology as...

    "Myth-making Man" did not create the Gods in his own image. The primary divinities of Egypt, such as Sut, Sebek, and Shu, three of the earliest, were represented in the likeness of the Hippopotamus, the Crocodile, and the Lion; whilst Hapi was imaged as an Ape, Anup as a Jackal, Ptah as a Beetle, Taht as an Ibis, Seb as a Goose. So it was the Goddesses. They are the likenesses of powers that were super-human, not human.... A huge mistake has hitherto been made in assuming that the Myth-Makers began by fashioning the Nature-Powers in their own human likeness. --from "Sign Language and Mythology as Primitive Modes of Representation" It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a "hidden history" of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey's massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World--first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar--redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 1 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey argues that "primitive man" found no human agency in the phenomena of the natural world, which led to a woeful misinterpretation of Egyptian hieroglyphics by the Greeks and Romans as well as a misunderstanding of the essence of Egyptian mythology. As a consequence, Massey contends, a deep fount of wisdom of the ancients has been lost, and he goes on to reveal how it can be rediscovered. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.
