Sinopsis

Revolution Battles offers a deep dive into the military history of the American Revolution, focusing on the strategic decisions, tactical innovations, and logistical challenges that defined the conflict. Going beyond traditional narratives, this book analyzes how a vastly outnumbered Continental Army managed to defeat the world's foremost superpower. The text argues that American victory wasn't due to superior resources, but rather adaptable strategies, a tenacious fighting spirit, and crucial foreign support.

The book progresses chronologically, starting with early engagements like Lexington and Concord, then analyzing pivotal battles such as Saratoga, which secured French support, and Yorktown, the decisive siege. Each battle is examined in terms of strategic objectives, troop deployments, tactical execution, and logistical considerations. Readers gain insight into the American Revolution battles, including how the Continental Army learned to adapt its strategies.

What sets Revolution Battles apart is its granular examination of military tactics and logistics drawing upon primary sources, maps, and military historians' interpretations. It demonstrates the importance of maintaining effective supply lines and highlights the critical decisions made by commanders during key events. By focusing on land-based military strategies and their execution, the book provides a valuable resource for history enthusiasts, military history buffs, and students seeking a deeper understanding of the military aspects of the war for American independence.

Old Gods New Enigmas - Marx's...

Mike Davis

Marx has returned, but which Marx? Recent biographies have proclaimed him to be an emphatically nineteenth-century figure, but in this book, Mike Davis's first directly about Marx and Marxism, a thinker comes to light who speaks to the present as much as the past. In a series of searching, propulsive essays, Davis, the bestselling author of City of Quartz and recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, explores Marx's inquiries into two key questions of our time: Who can lead a revolutionary transformation of society? And what is the cause—and solution—of the planetary environmental crisis? 
 
Davis consults a vast archive of labor history to illuminate new aspects of Marx's theoretical texts and political journalism. He offers a "lost Marx," whose analyzes of historical agency, nationalism, and the "middle landscape" of class struggle are crucial to the renewal of revolutionary thought in our darkening age. Davis presents a critique of the current fetishism of the "anthropocene," which suppresses the links between the global employment crisis and capitalism's failure to ensure human survival in a more extreme climate. In a finale, Old Gods, New Enigmas looks backward to the great forgotten debates on alternative socialist urbanism (1880–1934) to find the conceptual keys to a universal high quality of life in a sustainable environment.

COVID Lockdown Insanity - The...

Hugh McTavish Ph.D.

A Ph.D. biochemist and immunologist goes through the data on one of the greatest public policy disasters in human history—the lockdown response to COVID.  How deadly was COVID originally and after it had evolved for a year or two?  How many COVID deaths were prevented by the lockdowns?  How many people did the lockdowns throw into depression? How many people did the lockdowns kill by deaths of despair?  	But the good news from the lockdowns is it shows citizens are willing to make enormous sacrifices for their society and that we can transform society on a dime.  What if we used that for good purposes?  What if we governed for the goal of happiness instead of maximizing GDP? What if we governed to protect the planet, instead of with the exclusive goal of extending the lives of the oldest and sickest people in society, even at the cost of killing the young and middle aged by deaths of despair and destroying the education and lives of children?

Brain Lock

Anónimo

The 20th anniversary edition of the definitive classic on defeating obsessive-compulsive behavior, with all-new material from the author. 
 
An estimated 5 million Americans suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and live diminished lives in which they are compelled to obsess about something or to repeat a similar task over and over. Traditionally, OCD has been treated with Prozac or similar drugs. The problem with medication, aside from its cost, is that 30 percent of people treated don't respond to it, and when the pills stop, the symptoms invariably return.  
In Brain Lock, Jeffrey M. Schwartz, M.D., presents a simple four-step method for overcoming OCD that is so effective, it's now used in academic treatment centers throughout the world. Proven by brain-imaging tests to actually alter the brain's chemistry, this method doesn't rely on psychopharmaceuticals. Instead, patients use cognitive self-therapy and behavior modification to develop new patterns of response to their obsessions. In essence, they use the mind to fix the brain.  
Using the real-life stories of actual patients, Brain Lock explains this revolutionary method and provides readers with the inspiration and tools to free themselves from their psychic prisons and regain control of their lives.
