Synopsis

Firearms Evolution explores the profound impact of firearms on military history and global conflicts, tracing their development from rudimentary origins to modern weaponry. It examines how advancements in gun technology influenced military tactics, shifting strategies from massed formations to more agile approaches. The book highlights the interplay between technological innovation and strategic adaptation, revealing how firearms evolution has been a primary driver of changes in military tactics and a significant force in shaping the outcomes of global conflicts.

 
The book begins by tracing the origins of firearms in medieval China and their subsequent adoption in Europe. It progresses through key historical periods, such as the Industrial Revolution, to examine the development of rifling and cartridge ammunition. A dedicated section examines the impact of these technologies on major conflicts, from the Napoleonic Wars to the World Wars. This approach provides a detailed overview of key historical periods, military strategies, and technological principles relevant to understanding the development and influence of firearms.

 
What sets this book apart is its balanced approach, avoiding technological determinism while emphasizing the major role of firearms in shaping military history, and its incorporation of a global perspective. This makes Firearms Evolution valuable to military history enthusiasts, gun collectors, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology and conflict.

    Breaking the Cycle of Silence is an introduction into child sexual abuse and child sexual abuse prevention. The latest statistics tell us that one out of three girls and one out of six boys will be sexually abused before the age of eighteen, destroying their lives in ways we can't even imagine. We also know that 90 percent of the time victims know their abuser.  
         Daniel Pearse is living proof of both these statistics. He and his brother were sent to live with a pedophile after their mother died. For nine years, Daniel suffered sexual, physical, emotional, mental and verbal abuse at the hands of his tormentor.  
    Like many abused children, Daniel then suffered in silence for decades as an adult. Now he's committed to stopping the cycle of abuse that causes so much pain. 
         Breaking the Cycle of Silence recounts Daniels harrowing story, gives his opinions on how to eliminate child sexual abuse, offers introductory educational  resources for the prevention of child sexual abuse. How to recognize child sexual abuse, disclosure and support for victims of child sexual abuse.  
         Breaking the Cycle of Silence proposes age-appropriate child sexual abuse prevention training and education in schools. It teaches children what is appropriate, shows adults the signs of abuse to look for, and offers sources for support for victims. With such training and education, we can identify and stop abusers, preventing them from claiming victim after victim for years.

  • Great and Horrible News: Murder and Mayhem in Early Modern Britain - cover

    Great and Horrible News: Murder...

    ‘Grimly fascinating … engrossing’ Daily Mail  
    NINE HISTORIC CRIMES. ONE FAMILIAR OBSESSION. 
    In early modern England, murder truly was most foul. Trials were gossipy events packed to the rafters with noisome spectators. Executions were public proceedings which promised not only gore, but desperate confessions and the grandest, most righteous human drama. Bookshops saw grisly stories of crime and death sell like hot cakes. 
    This history unfolds the true stories of murder, criminal investigation, early forensic techniques, high court trials and so much more. 
    In thrilling narrative, we follow a fugitive killer through the streets of London, citizen detectives clamouring to help officials close the net. We untangle the mystery of a suspected staged suicide through the newly emerging science of forensic pathology. We see a mother trying to clear her dead daughter’s name while other women faced the accusations – sometimes true and sometimes not – of murdering their own children. 
    These stories are pieced together from original research using coroner’s inquests, court records, parish archives, letters, diaries and the cheap street pamphlets that proliferated to satisfy a voracious public. 
    These intensely personal stories portray the lives of real people as they confronted the extraordinary crises of murder, infanticide, miscarriage and suicide. Many historical laws and attitudes concerning death and murder may strike us as exceptionally cruel, and yet many still remind us that some things never change: we are still fascinated by narratives of murder and true crime, murder trials today continue to be grand public spectacles, female killers are frequently cast as aberrant objects of public hatred and sexual desire, and suicide remains a sin within many religious organisations and was a crime in England until the 1960s. 
    Great and Horrible News! explores the strange history of death and murder in early modern England, yet the stories within may appear shockingly familiar. 
    Great and Horrible News by Blessin Adams is a riveting biography of the most notorious criminals of the Stuart and Elizabethan eras. This latest bestseller offers a new perspective on the period from 1485-1603, making it a top choice for those interested in European history. 
    For fans of Lucy Worsley (Agatha Christie), Helen Carr (The Red Prince), Michelle Morgan (The Book of Hope), Kate Summerscale (The Peepshow), and David Wilson (My Life with Murderers).

  • Norse Warriors - The True Stories Behind the Legends - cover

    Norse Warriors - The True...

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The popular image of the Norse warrior has been distorted by centuries of romanticization, Hollywood productions, and nationalist propaganda. When most people think of Vikings, they envision horn-helmeted barbarians screaming battle cries while charging into combat with reckless abandon. This caricature, while dramatic, bears little resemblance to the sophisticated military culture that emerged from Scandinavia between the eighth and eleventh centuries. 
     
    The Norse warriors were not simply raiders driven by bloodlust and greed. They were products of a complex society that valued honor, kinship, and strategic thinking. Their military success stemmed not from primitive savagery, but from advanced shipbuilding technology, sophisticated trading networks, and adaptive tactical innovations that allowed them to dominate both land and sea for over three centuries. 
     
    Archaeological evidence from sites across Scandinavia reveals a warrior culture deeply embedded in everyday life. Weapons were not merely tools of war but symbols of status, craftsmanship, and spiritual connection. The famous pattern-welded swords found in elite burials represent hundreds of hours of skilled metalwork, indicating that Norse society supported a class of professional warriors who could afford such expensive equipment. These weapons were often given names and passed down through generations, becoming family heirlooms that carried the reputation and honor of their previous owners.
