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.

Dr Beare's Daughter - Growing Up...

Janice Jones

". . . brutally honest . . . a compelling work. GET IT" -Kirkus Reviews 
 "Moving story of an adopted daughter's search for her own voice." -Booklife 
"Well-written and poignant . . . engaging. Feelings and experiences to which many adoptees can relate." 
-Betsie Norris, Founder and Executive Director, Adoption Network Cleveland 
In 1947, in Celina, Ohio, Dr. Ralph Beare and his wife, Lou, childless and in their early forties, adopted a four-and-a-half-month-old orphan. “Janice” knew she was adopted, because her mommy read her a book about how the Beare's chose her out of a Home. "We chose you, but we love you as if you were our own." However, her mother never seemed to forget she was adopted, especially on Mother’s Day, when she couldn’t look at Janice without crying. 
Janice learned that most grown-ups in town knew her as "Dr. Beare's Daughter." Her daddy took her everywhere and people stopped to stoop down and tell her how he had saved their lives.  
With her red hair and freckles, Janice didn't look like her dark-haired parents. Her struggle to become that elusive golden child that she imagined they really wanted came with the erasure of her own identity. Still, there was a small voice, deep inside her, that popped up at the most inconvenient times, saying, "I'm here." Try as she might to silence it, her true self often slipped out to take charge, and then there was trouble.

A Little History of Psychology

Nicky Hayes

A rich and engaging guide to psychology, the science devoted to understanding human nature 
 
 
  
What really drives our decisions? Where do language and memory come from? Why do our minds sometimes seem to work against us? Psychologists have long attempted to answer these questions, seeking to understand human behavior, feelings, and thoughts. But how to explore something so elusive? 
 
 
  
In this fascinating history, leading expert Nicky Hayes tells the story of psychology across the centuries and around the world. Hayes introduces key thinkers, including Carl Jung, Anna Freud, Frantz Fanon, and Daniel Kahneman. We see how they tried to expand our understanding, from Pavlov and his dogs to Milgram and his famous electric shock experiments to the CIA's secret mind-control projects. Hayes explores key concepts like child development, the inferiority complex, and PTSD and shows how psychological research has been used for both good and ill. 
 
 
  
This Little History shines a light on the ever-advancing study of psychology, how the field has evolved over time—and how much more we need to learn.

Addictions and the Future - The...

Valerie Vogue

This book contains the following 4 titles:
Hooked on Tomorrow - The rapid pace of technological and social change has become the defining characteristic of modern life. We live in an age where innovation is constant, and the desire to keep up with it is almost addictive. From the devices we use daily to the way we communicate, everything is designed to keep us moving forward, often faster than we can comprehend. The term "progress" is no longer just about improvement but about a relentless drive toward the future, regardless of the consequences.
Narcissism - At its core, narcissism is a defense mechanism that helps individuals maintain an exaggerated sense of self-worth. This inflated self-image may stem from deep insecurities or past trauma, and it can be a way for individuals to shield themselves from feelings of inadequacy or vulnerability. Narcissists often rely on external validation—through admiration, praise, and attention—to affirm their worth, which means their sense of self is fragile and dependent on how others perceive them.
The Future with Gen Z - Generation Z, often referred to as Gen Z, comprises individuals born roughly between 1997 and 2012. This cohort represents a unique blend of cultural, social, and technological influences, making it distinct from previous generations. Growing up in an era defined by rapid technological advancements and global interconnectedness, Gen Z is the first true generation of digital natives.
The Singularity Paradox - Artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved from the realm of science fiction to become an integral part of modern society, influencing nearly every aspect of human life. This transformative technology, once envisioned as futuristic and far-fetched, is now a driving force behind innovations in industries ranging from healthcare to transportation, and it continues to reshape the way we live and work.
