Synopsis

Military Innovations explores how technological advancements have reshaped warfare throughout history, impacting not only military strategy but also societal and geopolitical landscapes. The book argues that military innovation isn't just about better weapons; it's a complex interaction of technological feasibility, strategic necessity, and societal adaptation. For example, the effective integration of new technologies into military doctrines and their acceptance within the broader social and political landscape are critical for success. The book uniquely analyzes the systemic nature of military innovation, examining how new weapons integrate into existing military systems and affect the balance of power. The narrative progresses chronologically through distinct historical periods, starting with ancient warfare and concluding with the modern era, focusing on key innovations and their impacts. For example, it details the rise of iron weapons in ancient times and the impact of nuclear weapons in the modern era. The book is structured to first introduce core concepts such as the military-technological ecosystem and the concept of asymmetric warfare. It then proceeds through distinct historical periods, focusing on key innovations and their impacts. Military Innovations is valuable to students of military history, policymakers, and anyone interested in the relationship between technology and conflict because it provides a comprehensive overview of key military innovations that have shaped the modern world.

The Tenderness of Silent Minds -...

Martha C. Nussbaum

The human body is the primary instrument of war, yet those waging war often confront soldiers' bodies in a detached or merely intellectual way. In The Tenderness of Silent Minds, Martha C. Nussbaum, a leading thinker on emotion, morality, and justice, conducts a pioneering study of Benjamin Britten's musical representations of the tender male body amidst the brutality of war, and their ability to transform consciousness by evoking potent, non-personal emotions. 
 
 
 
Offering a reading of Britten's views about the value and beauty of the body that situates these in the context of his thirty-nine year partnership with his lover, the singer Peter Pears, and also surveying pacifist themes in works written both before and after War Requiem, Nussbaum presents a compelling framework for critically assessing Britten's oeuvre. Nussbaum engages with a remarkably wide range of Britten's works, examining his treatment of aggression and its roots in his collaborations with the poet W. H. Auden, offering readings of the value placed on the body in early partnerships with Britten's beloved and singer Peter Pears, and surveying pacifist themes in Britten's earlier works. The analysis throughout is enriched with perspectives from Britten's personal letters and thoughtful study of the social and political backdrop of fear and homophobic disgust in mid-twentieth century Britain.
