  Prehistoric Warfare: The History...

  Editors Charles River

  Most scientists believe the evolution of humans has a history nearly as long as life itself. Anatomically modern humans and all other life that has existed on the planet first came about from the single-celled microorganisms that emerged approximately 4 billion years ago. Through the processes of mutation and natural selection, all forms of life developed, and this continuous lineage of life makes it difficult to say precisely when one species completely separates from another. In other words, scientists still debate when a human became a human rather than the ancestor species that came before.  
  	Among paleontologists, the question of human propensity for warfare in prehistoric eons has persisted. Primitive conflict that in time grew into a modern military phenomenon has become an increasing avenue of study. Scientists seek to ascertain whether the distant ancestral line of humans is genetically disposed toward the act of war, or whether social and geographical development have created a circumstantial environment for large-scale societal collisions.  
  	Depictions of humans pierced with arrows began to appear in the Aurignacian-Périgordian eras (30,000 years ago), and in the early Magdalenian era (17,000 years ago). A work of Mesolithic art (20,000 to 10,000 years ago) shows an explicit battle between groups of archers, and in Valencia, a group of three archers are seen surrounded by four of the similarly armed enemy in the Cova del Roure la Vella in Castellón. In the Ares del Maestrat in Alcañiz of Aragon, another work depicts warriors fleeing a group of eight archers, while a similar work at Val del Charco del Agua in Aragon shows seven archers with plumed headgear. Other examples show warriors in lines and columns with a “distinctly garbed leader at the front.” In a sense, it’s entirely reasonable to believe that the earliest people were violent and engaged in warfare the same way people did throughout more recent eras.

  I asked my Year 1 class, ‘What’s the best thing that’s ever happened to you?’ 
  George Pointon asks his class a lot of questions. What do you want to be when you grow up? What do you reckon your parents do while you’re at school? Can you put that down, please? JJ, the stapler – can you put it down? 
  He’s also got a few for himself: what is he doing here? Who was he kidding, thinking he could teach? 
  But the course of true professional fulfilment never did run smooth, and there’s no backing out now. 
  In this book, George takes us along on his first year inside the messy, magical world of primary school teaching. In the company of five-year-olds – who are somehow wisdom, innocence and chaos incarnate – there is always lots to be learned. 
  In Teacher Man, George Pointon masterfully combines elements of autobiography and non-fiction to provide a candid look at education and parenting. His essays delve into the complexities of behavioural management and relationships within the school environment, offering a unique perspective on the role of educators. 
  For fans of Lucy Mangan (Bookworm), Sam Leith (The Haunted Wood), and Annie Ernaux (A Woman's Story – WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE).

  The fascinating story of the Red River Settlement, now Winnipeg, in the years 1813 to 1816, told with archival journals, reports, and letters
  		 
  Unsettled tells the story of two hundred Highlanders who flee the Scottish Clearances in 1813 to establish a settlement on the Red River in what eventually became Winnipeg. They are sponsored by the Earl of Selkirk, a man who has never been west of Montreal. Families who have never left their Highland crofts take an epic journey over ocean, up wild rivers, and through boundless wilderness, surviving disease and brutal winter only to face the determined opposition of fur barons who want no sodbusters threatening their trade and are prepared to stop at nothing to destroy their dream.
  		 
  The “empty” land they’ve been promised is also anything but, already occupied by First Nations bands and the beginnings of that proud nation soon to be called Métis, whom they must befriend or fight.
  		 
  Unsettled takes you inside the experience, relying on journals, reports, and letters to bring these days of soaring hope, crushing despair, and heroic determination to life — to bring their present into ours.

  The Joyful Wisdom

  Friedrich Nietzsche

  What if laughter held more truth than solemnity? What if wisdom danced - light-footed, irreverent, and defiant - instead of cloaking itself in the heavy robes of tradition? 
  In The Joyful Wisdom (also known as La Gaya Scienza), Friedrich Nietzsche unveils a luminous and lyrical philosophy that challenges the deepest convictions of Western thought. Written during a moment of personal renewal, this daring work blends poetry, paradox, and razor-sharp insight into a celebration of life’s uncertainties—and the courage to embrace them. 
  Here, Nietzsche proclaims the death of God - not as despair, but as a liberation from dogma. He guides us through a labyrinth of aphorisms that question morality, truth, art, and the nature of existence itself. In the celebrated Book IV, "Sanctus Januarius," we find the seeds of eternal recurrence, a provocative vision of time and will that shaped existential and postmodern thought. The closing section, “Songs of Prince Vogelfrei,” offers poetic fragments that sing with ecstatic defiance. 
  Nietzsche’s legacy endures not only in philosophy but in literature, psychology, and cultural theory. His voice - bold, ironic, and unrelentingly modern -continues to speak to anyone seeking to break free from inherited beliefs and live with creative authenticity. 
  This immersive audiobook experience allows you to hear Nietzsche’s rhythmic prose and aphorisms in clear, intelligent narration powered by advanced AI -delivering both precision and nuance, perfectly suited to the musicality and complexity of the original text. 
  Step into the vibrant mind of one of history’s most original thinkers. Let The Joyful Wisdom unsettle, awaken, and inspire. 
  Buy now and begin your journey into a philosophy that dances on the edge of reason - with joy.
