Summary

In "Improvised Weapons and Munitions - The Official U.S. Army Manual," the U.S. Department of the Army presents a meticulous and comprehensive guide that delves into the development and utilization of improvised weaponry in various conflict scenarios. Employing a straightforward, instructional literary style, the manual merges practical engineering with tactical knowledge, drawing upon a wealth of historical contexts where resourcefulness and innovation have been paramount in warfare. It addresses technical specifications, safety protocols, and potential applications, demonstrating how ordinary materials can be transformed into effective tools of defense or offense, underpinning the necessity of creativity in combat situations. The U.S. Department of the Army, known for producing critical military literature, draws from decades of military innovation and field experience to produce this manual. The complex nature of modern warfare, characterized by asymmetric threats and resource scarcity, has heightened the importance of improvised tactics, motivating the Department to provide soldiers with the best methods for survival and efficacy in unpredictable encounters. "Improvised Weapons and Munitions" is an essential read for military personnel, historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of warfare tactics. Its instructional approach not only prepares readers for practical applications but also provides insight into broader themes of ingenuity and adaptability in the face of adversity.

    There are a lot of books about writing out there. If you’re like most writers, you’ve just about read them all. But learning how to write (and organize and outline and plot and edit and save the cat and market a breakout book) is one thing. Making and living a sustainable creative life in the face of...everything...is an entirely different matter. To know how to do that, we need to take a look at what goes on between the lines of our lives as writers so that we can live them with maybe a little more thought and intention--no matter the many interior and exterior obstacles that can threaten to derail our purpose. 
In this companion book to her long-running podcast, Sara Zarr brings her sixteen-year publishing career and experience as a speaker, teacher, and mentor to a conversational and encouraging collection of hard-won insights about what it means not to just write (and perchance to publish), but to be a writer.

    Journey into the Philippine-American experience in Washington, DC. Washington is famed for its place in the history of the United States, but few know its close connections with the Philippines. Trace the intertwined histories of the two countries along the streets of Washington, from the end of the Spanish American War in 1898 through Philippine independence in 1946, and the many years since. West Potomac Park was inspired by Manila's Luneta, and District streets are named after pivotal Philippine battle grounds. These landmarks are often unmentioned in guidebooks. Hidden in plain sight are the stories of the fascinating figures that once inhabited these spaces. Professor and community historian Erwin Tiongson offers a first account of the city's Philippine heritage.

    An expansive study shows how politics can work for, not just against, efforts to improve America’s schools. The education reform project has always been about making America’s schools more effective for the children who attend them. In Making Politics Work, authors Paul T. Hill and Ashley E. Jochim show that this project cannot succeed without mastering what is the single largest constraint on its success: politics.Drawing upon more than a decade of work with dozens of school systems, Hill and Jochim show how failures to secure political support or mitigate inevitable opposition dooms the education reform project from the start. But this outcome is not inevitable. By tracing the evolution of the “portfolio strategy” across 27 localities that implemented it, they uncover practical lessons that superintendents, state leaders, and foundation officials can use to increase the likelihood that their ideas for improving public education don’t join the list of once-promising initiatives that could not be sustained in the face of intractable political conflict.

    Global poverty remains one of the most pressing challenges of our time, reflecting a deepening divide in the world’s wealth. Despite advances in technology, medicine, and economic systems, billions of people continue to live in conditions of extreme deprivation. This chapter introduces the complexities of global poverty, exploring its definition, scope, and implications for societies worldwide.  
  
At its core, poverty is not merely a lack of income but a multifaceted issue encompassing inadequate access to basic needs such as food, clean water, healthcare, and education. The World Bank defines extreme poverty as living on less than $2.15 a day, a figure that starkly contrasts with the extravagant wealth enjoyed by the world’s richest individuals and nations. Beyond material deprivation, poverty often strips individuals of dignity, opportunity, and hope for a better future.  
  
The scale of global poverty is staggering. According to the United Nations, over 700 million people live in extreme poverty, with the vast majority concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. However, poverty is not confined to developing nations; it exists in wealthy countries as well, manifesting as homelessness, food insecurity, and lack of affordable housing. This disparity between the wealthy and the impoverished underscores a global system that perpetuates inequality.
