Sinopse

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.

    Socrates once said that a good person does not worry much about the little things, like whether he lives or dies, but only about the one big thing: whether he is a good person or a bad one.       In Ethics for Beginners, celebrated philosopher Peter Kreeft reclaims the importance of ethical study in answering life’s big questions: What is the meaning of life? How should I live? How should I treat other people? Unlike many modern texts on the subject, this one asserts that ethics is real, that good and evil are knowable, and that we can learn to act well and so become better and happier people.       Surveying the “big ideas” of the thirty-two most important ethical philosophers, Ethics for Beginners is an apprenticeship to the greatest minds in history. With expert analysis and reflection from Kreeft, it offers a challenging and unforgettable treatment that is suitable for classroom and individual use alike.

    Ride or Die - A Feminist...

    Cultural criticism and pop culture history intertwine in this important book, which dissects how hip hop has sidelined Black women's identity and emotional well-being.    Do you have a “ride or die chick” in your life? A “ride or die chick” is a Black woman who holds down her family and community. She’s that friend or family member that you can call up in the middle of the night to bail you out of jail, if ever needed, and you know she’ll show up and won’t ask any questions. She does anything for her family, friends, and significant other, even at the cost of her own well-being. “No” is not in her vocabulary. She’s beloved by you and many others, but her ride or die trope becomes a problem when she does it indiscriminately. Her self-worth is connected to how much labor she can provide for others. She goes above and beyond for everyone in every aspect of her life—work, family, church, and often it’s not reciprocated, and a “ride or die chick” doesn’t require it to be because she’s a “strong Black woman.” To her, love should be earned, and there’s no limit to what she’ll do for it.   In this book, author, adjunct professor of sociology, and former therapist, Shanita Hubbard disrupts the “ride or die” complex, and argues that this way of life has left Black women exhausted, overworked, overlooked, and feeling depleted. She suggests that Black women are to susceptible this mentality because it’s normalized in our culture. It rings loud in our favorite hip-hop songs, and it even shows up in the most important relationship we will ever have—the one with yourself.   Compassionate, candid, hard-hitting, and 100% unapologetic, Ride-or-Die melds Hubbard’s entertaining conversations with her Black girlfriends and her personal experiences as a redeemed “ride-or-die chick” and a former “captain of the build-a-brother team” to fervently dismantle cultural norms that require Black women to take care of everyone but themselves.  Ride or Die urges you to expel the myth that your self-worth is connected to how much labor you provide others, and guides you toward healing. Using hip hop as a backdrop to explore norms that are harmful to Black women, Hubbard shows the way you may be unknowingly perpetuating this harm within your relationships. Hubbard urges you to pull the plug on the “ride or die chick.”
