  Visual Friendlies, Tally Target: Surges continues the story of the role of forward air controllers (JTACs) and Close Air Support (CAS), picking up in 2006 and continuing through 2013. This volume covers the evolution of Joint Fires through the colloquial "second phase" of the War on Terror—the "surges" of Iraq in 2007 and Afghanistan in 2010–2011. Vol. II recounts the evolution of air power during the rising counterinsurgencies, as well as the psychology and mental makeup of these exclusive tribes. Notable accounts include the recovery mission of EXTORTION17, the first withdrawal from Iraq, previously unreported missions against insurgent strongholds, and instances where the situational awareness and decision-making of forward air controllers prevented civilian casualties and fratricide. 
   
   
   
  The story carries with it a continuation of the strategic lessons learned from America's longest war: where tactical successes and innovation failed to achieve a strategic outcome amidst ambiguous grand strategy, flawed policy and a failure to understand the new battlefields of the twenty-first century, as recounted by the men whose air power tribes went into the breach again and again. Volume II concludes as the "War on Terror" nominally ended in 2013, as the final phase of the post-9/11 wars transitioned to the "Train, Advise, and Assist" missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

  The Doctor Looks at Literature -...

  A New York neurologist reads the writers of his day as a physician reads patients: James Joyce, Dostoevsky, Dorothy Richardson, Proust, Katherine Mansfield and Rebecca West, Stella Benson and Virginia Woolf, the diarists Barbellion and Amiel, Duhamel and D. H. Lawrence. Joseph Collins had reviewed Ulysses for the New York Times in 1922, and this book of 1923 carries the same mixture of admiration and clinical alarm. The method is dated and the judgements are startling, which is exactly why the book is worth reading now. Fifty-nine plates, from Thomas Eakins to Adolph von Menzel, turn the same clinical gaze on the body in portraits, tooth transplants and doctors at the bedside.

  How Psychedelics Fake Awakening

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The experience felt more real than anything you had ever known. The boundaries dissolved, love flooded through you, and you saw with absolute certainty that everything is connected. You returned convinced you had touched enlightenment itself. You had done nothing of the kind. What you experienced was a sophisticated neurological counterfeit, a simulation so convincing that millions of seekers have mistaken it for the genuine article. This book reveals how psychedelics create experiences that look, feel, and generate all the conviction of enlightenment while systematically preventing the very transformation they appear to offer. The counterfeit operates through three mechanisms: sensory overload that mimics transcendence, ego collapse that imitates ego death, and neurochemical flooding that simulates insight. When psychedelics disable the brain's filtering systems, the resulting flood of sensation feels like awakening but is actually perception without coherence. Unlike meditation, which enhances clarity through trained attention, psychedelics create overwhelming data that the mind cannot organize. This is the cruelest trick in the spiritual marketplace: substances that give you the taste of freedom while strengthening your chains, showing you the destination while ensuring you never arrive.

  Welcome to London's marriage season. Six high society women are preparing for the biggest moment of their lives: finding a suitable husband. But their stories aren't what you may have read in historic romances by Julia Quinn or Georgette Heyer. In The Game of Hearts, go behind the drawing-room door with history author Felicity Day and delve into the competitive world of love, scandal, and fortune. With shocking revelations about London's most eligible heiresses and the society they live in, you'll see British history and love stories from a whole new perspective. 
   
   
   
  May the best lady win. For our six privileged debutantes, life wasn't like a Regency romance; they had to work for their happily ever after. Even if it meant competing with dozens of other women who want the same thing. By using the letters, diaries, and other confessions from our heroines, Felicity Day shares how they and many other Regency women combined attraction with practicality to navigate upper-class British society, known as the ton, and its courtship rituals. And with obstacles such as scandals, rakes, and social warfare, you'll discover how love and success may not always win, but perseverance shall. 
   
   
   
  So if you liked historic women biographies like Jane Austen at Home, The Palace Papers, or A Room of Their Own, then you'll love The Game of Hearts.
