  Empathy is credited as a factor in improved relationships and even better product development. But while it's easy to say "just put yourself in someone else's shoes," the reality is that understanding the motivations and emotions of others often proves elusive. 
  This book helps you understand what empathy is, why it's important, how to surmount the hurdles that make you less empathetic—and when too much empathy is just too much.

  During most of the eleven months between D-day and V-E day in Europe, the U S Army was carrying on highly successful offensive operations. As a consequence, the American soldier was buoyed with success, imbued with the idea that his enemy could not strike him a really heavy counterblow, and sustained by the conviction that the war was nearly won. This volume deals with the crucial period of the European campaign conducted in the Belgian Ardennes and Luxembourg, generally known as the Battle of the Bulge.

  Uncertain Allies - General...

  Uncertain Allies looks at the United States military's experience in the China-Burma-India (CBI) theater during World War II through the eyes of Joseph Stilwell, the commanding general of American forces in those three countries. Historian Eric Setzekorn focuses on two themes: uncertain allies and ambiguous missions. 
   
   
   
  Despite being allies, relationships between the Americans and Chinese, as well as Americans and the British, were marked by a lack of trust in the CBI theater. This was problematic because most combat personnel under Stilwell's command were Chinese. The lack of trust impacted tactical and operational planning. The second reoccurring theme, ambiguous missions, refers to the poorly defined goals for the theater. The CBI's mission was vague, and Stilwell lacked clear objectives. 
   
   
   
  Underlying both themes is the key flaw in Stilwell's conduct: a failure to understand the American political context. Stilwell advocated for a transactional military and political relationship despite indications that President Roosevelt, other leaders, and the American public desired a long-term cooperative relationship. Stilwell's proposals to make military aid and American support on a quid pro quo basis inevitably ran into staunch opposition. The result was a dangerous disconnect between American military operations and national policy.

  The Science of Mummification -...

  Mummification, the art and science of preserving bodies after death, has fascinated both historians and scientists for centuries. In ancient Egypt, mummification was not merely a process of preservation but also a vital part of the culture’s religious beliefs. The Egyptians believed in an afterlife, where the soul would continue to exist in a parallel realm. The preservation of the body was considered essential for the soul’s journey, as it would serve as a vessel for the soul's return. This chapter delves into the origins and purpose of mummification, shedding light on the techniques that evolved over millennia. 
  The practice of mummification is believed to have begun around 3500 BCE, initially as a natural process. Early Egyptians buried their dead in shallow graves in the hot, dry desert sands. The dry conditions naturally desiccated the bodies, preserving them for years or even centuries. However, as Egyptian society developed and religious beliefs became more complex, the need for a more deliberate and refined method of preservation emerged. Over time, the Egyptians developed techniques to prevent decomposition, ensuring that the deceased would be preserved for the afterlife. 
  Mummification’s primary purpose was to ensure the deceased’s body remained intact for the soul’s journey to the afterlife. Ancient Egyptians believed that the body was necessary for the soul to recognize and reunite with the deceased in the next world. The process, therefore, was not just about keeping the body intact; it was about ensuring the deceased's spiritual well-being. Alongside the physical mummification process, elaborate burial rituals were performed, including the offering of food, goods, and prayers to help guide the deceased through the afterlife.
