Sinopse

Historical Mercenaries explores the profound influence of hired soldiers on military history and war outcomes, challenging traditional views that often marginalize their significance. This book argues that mercenaries were pivotal in shaping not only battle tactics but also political landscapes and economic systems.

 
For example, the dominance of Swiss Pikemen in 15th-century Europe demonstrates how mercenary forces could dictate military strategy and alter the balance of power. The book delves into the economic history of mercenary warfare, examining the financial structures that supported these armies and their impact on local economies. It also investigates how mercenary service provided opportunities for social mobility.

 
Through case studies ranging from the condottieri in the Italian Renaissance to modern private military companies, the narrative progresses chronologically and thematically, illustrating how the strategic deployment of soldiers for profit has consistently influenced conflicts across eras. Drawing from diverse sources, including military chronicles and financial records, the book integrates insights from military, economic, and social history. This interdisciplinary approach provides a nuanced understanding of the complex role mercenaries have played in shaping warfare and military thought, addressing ethical considerations and their impact on civilian populations.

    A month after her 24th birthday, Lt. Mary Elizabeth Balster collapses among the rubble of a shelled supply room. On the night of November 30, 1944, holed up in the Heinrich Himmler Barracks in Morhange, France, Lt. Balster's evac receives a typical patient load, but this time one of the admissions is a 19-year-old tanker she'd nursed back to health five months before in Normandy. The charge nurse on Surgical gently informs the lieutenant that the private is critical. Rising determined to save him, Balster limps toward the shelled supply room determined to search for any blood plasma bottles still intact. 
     
     
     
    Recaptured from her mother's reminiscences and letters home, N. C. R. Davis takes listeners through every heat-of-battle harrowing moment as Balster lived it, achieving a rare glimpse of one nurse's point of view during the latter part of the European conflict. 
     
     
     
    The book mixes Lt. Balster's observations, memories, and dreams to tell the story of a richly rebellious woman trying to navigate her life while nursing wounded and dying frontline soldiers. Her strong-willed, beguiling personality fosters the grit necessary for her success as a combat nurse, but these same characteristics cause two men to fall in love with her. And the personal cost of war comes to a heartrending conclusion, as she must choose one man over the other.

    Discover how you can start to move toward hope and healing from your mental health struggles. 
    Mental illness loves to tell lies. One of those lies is that you should be able to manage what you're struggling with all by yourself, but in Depression, Anxiety, and Other Things We Don't Want to Talk About, pastor and psychotherapist Ryan Casey Waller reminds us that we don't have to suffer alone. 
    Mental health issues aren't a symptom of a spiritual failing or insufficient faith. In fact, suffering is the very thing our Savior seeks to heal as he leads us toward restoration. And yet, as Waller has experienced firsthand, the battle can be lonely and discouraging--but it doesn't have to be. 
    Combining practical theology, clinical insights, and deep empathy, Waller offers a rare mix of companionship and truth, inviting you to:Have shame-free conversations about mental healthDiscover why self-knowledge is so important to a deep relationship with GodUnderstand the intersection of biology, psychology, and spiritualityExplore varying avenues of healing in community, therapy, and medicationBe equipped to support loved ones while practicing self-care 
      
    Depression, Anxiety, and Other Things We Don't Want to Talk About bridges the gap between the spiritual and the psychological and is an empathetic, imminently helpful guidebook, reminding us all that we are not alone. Hope starts now. 
      
    Praise for Depression, Anxiety, and Other Things We Don't Want to Talk About: 
    "I work with Christian leaders from all over the country and have seen firsthand how desperately we need to be talking about depression and anxiety. What prior generations considered taboo, the leaders of today and tomorrow consider essential. Whether you're new to the conversation of mental health or intimately familiar with its complexities, Waller's book has something for you. I can't wait for you to read this."

    From breaking the law to breaking a promise, how do people lie and how can they be caught? 
     
     
     
    In this revised edition, Paul Ekman, a renowned expert in emotions research and nonverbal communication, adds a new chapter to present his latest research on his groundbreaking inquiry into lying and the methods for uncovering lies. Ekman has figured out the most important behavioral clues to deceit; he has developed a one-hour self-instructional program that trains people to observe and understand "micro expressions"; and he has done research that identifies the facial expressions that show whether someone is likely to become violent—a self-instructional program to train recognition of these dangerous signals has also been developed. 
     
     
     
    Telling Lies describes how lies vary in form and how they can differ from other types of misinformation that can reveal untruths. It discusses how a person's body language, voice, and facial expressions can give away a lie but still fool professional lie hunters—even judges, police officers, drug enforcement agents, and Secret Service agents.
