Sinopsis

In "Strategemata," Sextus Julius Frontinus masterfully compiles a rich tapestry of military stratagems and tactics drawn from the annals of history. Written in the first century AD, this treatise juxtaposes anecdotal narratives with analytical insights, revealing the cunning maneuvers employed by ancient generals to outwit their foes. Frontinus's literary style, marked by clarity and eloquence, situates the text within the broader context of Roman military literature, expertly illustrating the interplay between strategy, deception, and the psychological dimensions of warfare. His work serves not only as a manual for military leaders but also as a reflection on the nature of power and human behavior in the face of conflict. Frontinus, a distinguished Roman military engineer and politician, was well-acquainted with both the theoretical and practical aspects of warfare, having served in various military capacities and holding the esteemed position of water commissioner in Rome. His lived experiences undoubtedly informed his writings, providing a grounded understanding of strategy that transcends mere theoretical discourse. This duality of background imbues "Strategemata" with authenticity and depth, establishing Frontinus as a pivotal figure in the study of military stratagems. For scholars, tacticians, and aficionados of military history, "Strategemata" is an indispensable text that distills the complexities of warfare into timeless principles. It offers readers keen insights into the art of strategy, ensuring that its relevance resonates even in contemporary discussions on military tactics and leadership. Dive into this compelling work to uncover the classical underpinnings of strategy that inform modern principles of conflict resolution and military thought.

    How To Fix Northern Ireland

    In this thought-provoking and engaging book, Malachi O'Doherty argues that division in Northern Ireland is fundamentally not about whether the country should be governed as part of Ireland or as part of Britain - as presumed by the Good Friday Agreement - but rather is entirely sectarian, an inter-ethnic stress comparable to racism. 
    Part memoir, part history and part polemic, How to Fix Northern Ireland shows how the split between catholics and protestants infests everyday life - from education and segregated housing, from street protests, bonfires and parades to the high politics of power sharing and Brexit - and asks what can be done to solve a centuries-old social rift and heal the relationship at the heart of the problem.

  • Art of Receiving and Giving The: The Wheel of Consent - cover

    Art of Receiving and Giving The:...

    Why would most people endure unwanted or unsatisfying touch, rather than speak up for their own boundaries and desires? It’s a question with a myriad of answers – and one that Dr. Betty Martin has explored in her 40+ years as a hands-on practitioner, first as a chiropractor and later as a Somatic Sex Educator, Certified Surrogate Partner and Sacred Intimate. In her client sessions, she noticed a pattern wherein many clients would “allow” or go along with discomfort or unease rather than speak up for what they wanted or didn’t want. Betty discovered there was a major component missing for people -- the confidence that we have a choice about what is happening to us. 
    In her framework, “The Wheel of Consent®” Betty traces the fundamental roots of consent back to our childhood conditioning. As children, we are taught that to be “good” we must ignore our body’s discomfort and be compliant: to finish our food even if we’re full, to go to bed - even if we’re not tired, to let relatives hug and kiss us even if we don’t want to. We learn that our feelings don’t matter more than what is happening, and that we don’t have a choice but to go along, whether or not we want it. 
    As adults, this conditioning remains with us until we have an opportunity to unlearn it, which is why consent violations are often only called out after the violation has occurred - because we have not been taught or empowered to notice our boundaries, much less value or express our internal signals as the unwanted action is happening. 
    In this book, Betty guides the reader through the Wheel of Consent framework, and shares practices to help us recover the ability to notice what we want and set clear boundaries.
