Sinossi

In "The Cavalry General," Xenophon offers a seminal exploration of cavalry tactics, leadership, and strategy, drawing upon his own experiences as a soldier and mercenary during the late 5th century BCE. This treatise stands out for its practical insights and rich context, delving into the intricacies of battlefield maneuvers and the psychological dimensions of leading armed forces. Written in a clear and accessible style, Xenophon's work is embedded in the broader literature on ancient military theory, providing a bridge between historiography and instruction that has informed military thought throughout the centuries. Xenophon, a disciple of Socrates, was a multifaceted figure: historian, philosopher, and soldier. His diverse experiences shaped his writings, as he not only fought in several campaigns but also served as a general himself, gaining firsthand knowledge of cavalry operations. The lessons drawn from his various military engagements and the keen observations of leadership dynamics evident in his works reflect his desire to convey practical wisdom applicable both on and off the battlefield. "The Cavalry General" is an essential read for anyone interested in military strategy, leadership, and the historical foundations of cavalry tactics. Scholars and military enthusiasts alike will appreciate Xenophon's clarity and depth, as well as his ability to transcend time, offering invaluable lessons still relevant in contemporary discussions of military leadership and strategy.

    An insider's look into the largely anonymous volunteers in local party organizations who make decisions in elections with profound implications for American democracy. 
     
     
     
    Although scholars have long recognized that local American parties play an important role in elections, surprisingly little is known about the individuals who lead these typically small, volunteer-based organizations. As David Doherty, Conor M. Dowling, and Michael G. Miller show in Small Power, local party leaders influence the electoral process in myriad ways: They recruit and support candidates, interface with state-wide and federal campaigns, and get out the vote in their communities. Drawing from a survey of over 850 Democratic and Republican local party chairs, a nationally representative sample of voters, and dozens of in-depth interviews, the authors describe how parties are organized, who party chairs are, and how they serve the party. Leveraging novel experiments that illuminate how chairs make choices about which individuals to recruit as candidates—as well as whether those choices reflect voters' preferences—Small Power sheds new light on how seemingly mundane local decisions can shape party goals, influence candidate pipelines, and affect who ends up winning elections.

    The Fifth History of Man

    In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
    The Fifth History of Man has a few parting shots at viruses but mostly continues with the world of parasites, from tick disease that tick us off, Old Lyme, Connecticut and Lyme disease, toxoplasmosis, Crazy Cat Lady and her clowder of cats, then on into a discussion of the avatar of parasites: malaria. Our travels will venture down into the valley: Valley Girls, Valspeak, Valley Fever, fungus and fungal infections. We’ll jump into the biology of evolution, Darwin, Huxley and the great debates, the geology of earthquakes, volcanos, the Ring of Fire, and Johnny Cash, and then through the homos: Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Homo sapiens, and once the dust cleared how the opposable thumbs, walking erect, and bigger brains left one man standing, one woman, too. No discussion of human history can leave out the G.O.A.T. of French history, heck, of European history; the man, the legend, Napoleon Bonaparte, loved and admired by everyone, even his enemies. Our path will take us into war & military, World War I versus the 1918 Swine Flu, some Russian history and how Stalin got Lenin wrong.

    “[Sivertsen] has done an exceptional job of digging into the wide variety of fields relevant to understanding the Exodus. A superb and stunning book.” ―Paul and Elizabeth Barber, authors of When They Severed Earth from Sky 
     
    For more than four decades, biblical experts have tried to place the story of Exodus into historical context—without success. What could explain the Nile turning to blood, insects swarming the land, and the sky falling to darkness? Integrating biblical accounts with substantive archaeological evidence, The Parting of the Sea looks at how natural phenomena shaped the stories of Exodus, the Sojourn in the Wilderness, and the Israelite conquest of Canaan. Barbara Sivertsen demonstrates that the Exodus was in fact two separate exoduses both triggered by volcanic eruptions—and provides scientific explanations for the ten plagues and the parting of the Red Sea. Over time, Israelite oral tradition combined these events into the Exodus narrative known today. 
     
    Skillfully unifying textual and archaeological records with details of ancient geological events, Sivertsen shows how the first exodus followed a 1628 B.C.E Minoan eruption that produced all but one of the first nine plagues. The second exodus followed an eruption of a volcano off the Aegean island of Yali almost two centuries later, creating the tenth plague of darkness and a series of tsunamis that “parted the sea” and drowned the pursuing Egyptian army. Sivertsen’s brilliant account explains inconsistencies in the biblical story, fits chronologically with the conquest of Jericho, and confirms that the Israelites were in Canaan before the end of the sixteenth century B.C.E. 
     
    In examining oral traditions and how these practices absorb and process geological details through storytelling, The Parting of the Sea reveals how powerful historical narratives are transformed into myth.
