Summary

In "The History of Naval War of 1812," Theodore Roosevelt delivers an exhaustive and vividly articulated analysis of the naval engagements during the War of 1812, highlighting the strategic prowess and valor of the American Navy against British forces. Roosevelt employs a narrative style that balances rigorous historical detail with dramatic storytelling, capturing the complexities of maritime conflict in an era of burgeoning nationalism. His work stands as a crucial contribution to the historiography of American naval history, framed within the broader context of early 19th-century geopolitics and national identity, reflecting on themes of courage, leadership, and the evolution of naval warfare. Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States and a notable historian, was profoundly influenced by his experiences in public service and his passion for natural history and exploration. His deep-seated appreciation for the Navy and its role in America's young democracy propelled him to undertake this scholarly endeavor. Roosevelt's background as a rugged outdoorsman and a military leader in the Spanish-American War further enriched his perspective, infusing his historical narrative with personal insight and respect for military valor. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in American history, naval strategy, or the complexities of national identity during tumultuous times. Roosevelt's engaging narrative not only educates but also inspires, offering readers a unique glimpse into the historic clashes that shaped a nation. Scholars and enthusiasts alike will find Roosevelt's thorough research and passionate storytelling to be both enlightening and entertaining.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Firing the Cloud: How Humanity Survived and Accelerated is a sweeping, provocative journey through 15,000 years of human history tracing how we evolved from small, fire-lit bands of hunter-gatherers to a globally networked civilisation living inside a digital cloud. 
The book explores the great transitions that shaped us: the Agricultural Revolution’s trade of autonomy for stability, the Industrial Age’s relentless acceleration and the Technological Era’s shift from reality to virtuality. Each chapter weaves anthropology, history, and systems thinking to reveal what we gained and what we lost at every turn. 
Thoughtful, urgent and ultimately hopeful, this audiobook challenges listeners to become memory-keepers of the human story and to shape a future that is not only faster, but wiser.

    This book provides a detailed linguistic analysis of the communication between highly proficient bilingual couples, each consisting of a native speaker of English and of Swiss German. Combining the accounts of ten couples on their language use with an analysis of their actual linguistic behaviour, several areas of the partners' speech and interaction were closely examined. These include their language choice and language mixing, attitudes, expression of emotions, swearing, as well as their humour and laughter. In addition, the influence of the bilinguals' mother tongue and gender on their language use was explored. Thus, the study provides valuable insights into the language practices of established bilingual couples, while also contributing to the fields of fluent late bilingualism and gender research.

    Bloody Verrieres - The I...

    South of the Norman city of Caen, the twin features of the Verrières and Bourguebus ridges were key stepping stones for the British Second Army in late July 1944. To capture this vital ground, Allied forces would have to defeat arguably the strongest German armored formation in Normandy: the I. SS-Panzerkorps "Leibstandarte." The resulting battles of late July and early August 1944 saw powerful German defensive counterattacks south of Caen inflict tremendous casualties, regain lost ground, and at times defeat Anglo-Canadian operations in detail. 
 
 
 
These defeats and the experience of meeting an enemy with near-equal resources exposed a flawed Anglo-Canadian offensive tactical doctrine that was overly dependent on the supremacy of its artillery forces. Furthermore, weaknesses in Allied tank technology inhibited their armored forces from fighting a decisive armored battle. Confronted with the full force of the Panzerwaffe, Anglo-Canadian doctrine at times floundered. In response, the Royal Artillery and Royal Canadian Artillery units pummeled the German tankers and grenadiers, but despite their best efforts, ground could not be captured by concentrated artillery fire alone. 
 
 
 
This is a detailed account of the success of I. SS-Panzerkorps' defensive operations, aimed at holding the Vèrrieres-Bourgebus ridges in late July 1944.

    The silence on the genocidal situation in Gaza is questionable. How can we explain the double standard when we compare the - legitimate - indignation provoked by the Russian bombing of the Ukraine with the omerta surrounding the bombing of a civilian population under blockade? Beyond the problem of certain community institutions, there is a cocktail of feelings of guilt, cultural solidarity, fear of or hostility to Islam, a threat of terrorism linked to Islam, colonial memories that have not been properly digested, and adherence to the concept of the clash of civilizations, which explains the widespread support in the media and among politicians for the actions of the Israeli government. The aim of this book is to analyze this genocidal situation and to show that this guilty silence is a strategic error for France and, more generally, for Western countries.
