Tactical Sieges

Sinopse

Tactical Sieges explores the intricate world of siege warfare, arguing that success depended less on brute force and more on a blend of tactics, logistics, and psychological manipulation. The book delves into how sieges shaped military outcomes and geopolitical landscapes, highlighting the evolution of siege tactics from ancient times through the early modern period. Intriguingly, the ability to maintain a steady supply line often proved more decisive than battlefield victories, and the development of concentric walls and bastions demonstrates the constant adaptation required by both attackers and defenders.

 
The book progresses by first establishing key siege concepts, such as fortification principles and siege engine mechanics. It then analyzes specific historical sieges like the Siege of Constantinople, illustrating the interplay of tactical choices, logistical constraints, and psychological factors. By examining these historical events, Tactical Sieges emphasizes the importance of integrated tactical thinking and offers insights into the enduring challenges of warfare.

The Fate of Man

H. G. Wells

In the design of this book three primary themes interlace and pursue and develop each other.There is first, that invention and science have completely altered the material environment ofhuman life. Next, that the disruptive driving force of an excess of bored and unemployed young men., which must in some manner find relief, will probably shatter human life altogether under the new conditions. And thirdly, that the existing mental organisation of our species is entirely insufficient to control the present situation, which nevertheless might, with an adequate effort, be controlled. 
Every community can be shown to be either sending out the plethora of its population as emigrants and settlers, or reducing it by warfare, or else suffering from acute social trouble, such social trouble as the words Russian Hooligans, Chinese Boxers, Moonlighters, Nazis, Fascists, revolutionary terrorists, gangsters, will call to mind. The young man surplus, if it is not consumed, is the main source of rebels, revolutionaries and disturbances of all kinds. Somehow that tension must find relief. The comparative social stability of the nineteenth century was largely due to emigration and the settlement of new lands.

How to Be a Renaissance Woman -...

Jill Burke

Beauty, make-up, art, power: How to Be a Renaissance Woman presents an alternative history of this period as told by the women behind the paintings, providing a window into their often overlooked or silenced lives. Can the pressures women feel to look good be traced back to the sixteenth century? 
 
 
 
As the Renaissance visual world became populated by female nudes from the likes of Michelangelo and Titian, a vibrant literary scene of beauty tips emerged, fueling debates about cosmetics and adornment. Telling the stories of courtesans, artists, actresses, and writers rebelling against the strictures of their time, when burgeoning colonialism gave rise to increasingly sinister evaluations of bodies and skin color, this book puts beauty culture into the frame. 
 
 
 
How to Be a Renaissance Woman will take listeners from bustling Italian market squares, the places where the poorest women and immigrant communities influenced cosmetic products and practices, to the highest echelons of Renaissance society, where beauty could be a powerful weapon in securing strategic marriages and family alliances. It will investigate how skin-whitening practices shifted with the emerging sub-Saharan African slave trade, how fads for fattening and thinning diets came and went, and how hairstyles and fashion could be a tool for dissent and rebellion—then as now.
