Synopsis

Medieval sieges, a critical aspect of military history, involved more than just brute force. From 500 to 1500 AD, siege warfare was a complex interplay of strategy, technology, and psychology. The success of a siege depended on logistical planning, engineering prowess, and exploiting vulnerabilities in the enemy's defenses. Starvation, disease, and psychological tactics were as crucial as battering rams and trebuchets in determining the outcome of these conflicts.

 
Medieval Sieges explores the multifaceted nature of these engagements. It delves into siege tactics and engineering, defensive innovations like concentric castles, and the grim realities of starvation and disease. Specific historical examples, such as the sieges of Constantinople, Acre, and Orleans, illustrate the interplay between offensive and defensive strategies.

 
The book progresses from fundamental principles to offensive and defensive technologies, psychological warfare, and long-term societal consequences. The book uncovers how sieges influenced military technology, power dynamics, and the social fabric of the era. It integrates military history with social and cultural history, providing a nuanced understanding of siege warfare, emphasizing the human dimensions of these prolonged and brutal conflicts.

    Dismissals such as "boys will be boys" and "not all men" are ingrained in our world. And the purity culture of our youth sold the same excuses with a spiritual spin. Can we break the toxic cycle and recover a healthy identity for men? 
     
     
     
    In Non-Toxic Masculinity, Zachary Wagner tells men, "If you are in Christ, this is your problem—and you should be part of the solution." 
     
     
     
    Reflecting on his own coming of age in the purity culture movement and ongoing recovery from sexual shame, Wagner confronts harmful teaching from the American church that has distorted desire, sex, relationships, and responsibility. For those—both men and women—who feel disillusioned and adrift, this book offers a renewed vision for Christian male sexuality founded in empathy and selflessness.

    From 1908 to 1933, the American Museum of Natural History launched more scientific field expeditions than at any other time in its existence. Sponsoring lavish trips to Africa and Central Asia, the museum filled its halls with artifacts and an aura of adventure, supported by some of New York City's most prominent men. All the while, the museum's then president, Henry Fairfield Osborn, attempted to use his adventurers' expeditions to fulfill a personal agenda: to propagate his belief in racial hierarchy. 
     
    Palace of Deception uncovers the complicated legacy of three iconic figures of the American Museum: the preeminent explorer Roy Chapman Andrews; Carl Akeley, the pioneering taxidermist; and Osborn, the museum's president. Darrin Lunde tells the story of the American's Museum foundational years. Lunde also shows how the achievements of the museum's adventurers were used to introduce residents of New York to a version of the natural world endorsed by the museum's leader. 
     
    Palace of Deception recreates some of the most celebrated, globe-trotting journeys from natural history's heyday. It also traces the larger, racially infused milieu that underwrote the golden age of exploration, uncovering the simmering anxieties about race behind the era's greatest adventures. It is a legacy that still haunts natural history institutions today.
