Synopsis

Japanese Castles explores the evolution and significance of Japan's feudal fortifications, revealing their pivotal role in military strategy and societal structure. These imposing structures, far from being mere defensive strongholds, mirrored Japan's complex social hierarchy and technological advancements. For example, castle design evolved from simple earthenworks to elaborate, multi-tiered keeps, reflecting the changing dynamics of warfare and political power during the Warring States period and under the Tokugawa shogunate.

The book examines the architectural and strategic significance of Japanese castles, highlighting key elements like moats, baileys, keeps, and gatehouses. It traces their development through different eras, demonstrating how castles transformed from symbols of regional power to emblems of centralized authority. Each chapter builds upon the last, providing a comprehensive understanding of Japanese castles within their historical context, supported by illustrations, photographs, and maps.

Japanese Castles adopts a fact-based historical approach, making it accessible to a broad audience interested in military history, Japanese history, and architectural history. It emphasizes the enduring legacy of these structures, exploring their preservation, cultural significance, and continued relevance in modern Japan. This exploration offers a unique lens through which to understand Japanese history, moving beyond traditional narratives to reveal deeper insights into the nation's past.

Salty - Lessons on Eating...

Alissa Wilkinson

If you could have a dinner party with anyone dead or alive, who would it be? 
 
 
 
That's the question film critic and food writer Alissa Wilkinson answered as she gathered a hypothetical table of women who challenged norms and defied conventional wisdom. 
 
 
 
Ella Baker, Alice B. Toklas, Hannah Arendt, Octavia Butler, Agnes Varda, Elizabeth David, Edna Lewis, Maya Angelou, Laurie Colwin: these smart, engaging, revolutionary, and creative twentieth-century women were all profoundly influenced by their own relationships to food, drink, and other elements of sustenance. 
 
 
 
In Salty, Wilkinson explores the ways food managed to root these women into their various callings. For some, it was cultivating perseverance in the face of hardship. For others, it was nurturing a freedom to act, even in the face of opposition, toward justice and equality. For others, it was an examination of what it means to be human with all its desire, heartbreak, sacrifice, isolation, and liberty. 
 
 
 
Salty is Alissa Wilkinson's invitation to you. Join these sharp, empowered, and often subversive women and discover how to live with courage, agency, grace, smarts, snark, saltiness, and sometimes feasting—even in uncertain times.

Israel's Forever War - Israel...

Paul Moorcraft

No war in living memory has stirred up such anger, fear and loathing as the long-running Israel–Palestine conflict, and peace in the region has never seemed further away. The 7 October 2023 attack by Hamas on Israel had far-reaching and potentially devastating consequences for the Middle East and for the world. As the war has expanded to take in other players in the area, the future of Israel as a regional superpower is now in doubt and the chances of all-out war between Israel and its neighbours have become much greater.
This essential work looks at the background to the Hamas–Israel war and asks whether the international system can contain two simultaneous wars in Europe and the Levant. It examines the wars that preceded this one, the rise of Hamas and the roles Hezbollah, Iran and Syria play in the conflict. Paul Moorcraft considers the war's impact on Israeli society, the economy and the Israel Defense Forces, while also looking at how media and propaganda shape our view of the war and how the conflict affects the whole region's relationships with the west.
Here, Moorcraft brings all perspectives together in an expert and balanced analysis, examining the potential outcomes of the war and arguing that the two-state solution should be revived. Peace has never looked more impossible – but the alternative, a forever war, is even more impossible.
