World History of Warfare
Summary
World History of Warfare covers worldwide military history from ancient times to the present and is designed for college courses. Its principal theme is an exploration of change and continuity, revolution and tradition, in three thousand years of warfare. It teaches students and general listeners how warfare evolved and how that evolution affected human society, with emphasis on major turning points in the conduct of warfare rather than a superficial general history of wars. Although the volume addresses traditional subjects such as generals and tactics, each chapter also includes discussion of the idea of war, the role of the common soldier, and the changing interpretations of the military’s place in society and politics. Of special value is the authors’ treatment of non-Western societies and the role military forces have played in shaping societies worldwide.

Patton: Battling with History
Summary
General George S. Patton Jr. is one of the most successful yet misunderstood figures in American military history. Despite the many books and articles written about him, none considers in depth how his love of history shaped the course of his life. In this thematic biography, Furman Daniel traces Patton’s obsession with history and argues that it informed and contributed to many of his successes, both on and off the battlefield. Patton deliberately cultivated the image of himself as a warrior from ages past; the more interesting truth is that he was an exceptionally dedicated student of history. He was a hard worker and voracious reader who gave a great deal of thought to how military history might inform his endeavors. Most scholars have overlooked this element of Patton’s character, which Daniel argues is essential to understanding the man’s genius. The book is published by University of Missouri Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.

Channeling! What Is It?
Summary
Not all will be interested in a book about channeling. After all, there are many channels and mediums already - some of them charge for their services while others do not. However, these people have varying levels of proficiency. Some are really good while others are merely delusional. There are also those who are not really psychics but scammers who take advantage of people's cluelessness of the spirit world. Because getting a good channel or medium can be difficult, it's a good idea that you decided to learn the skill of channeling. You will protect yourself from the ignorant and deceitful if you do the work yourself. Aside from that, a psychic or medium can relay messages from the spirit to you but unless you know how to distinguish true contact from the false, you can be fooled in many ways. Even if the contact is authentic, it's much better if you don't depend on an outsider to receive and act upon the message. After all, spirit messages are often highly personal and aimed for the transformation of the individual in many levels. You will get more from the message if you experience it yourself and not simply hear a stranger say it to you. This book will teach you what channeling is, how it works, and how you can do it to!

From Oligarchy to Republicanism
Summary
On December 4, 1865, members of the 39th United States Congress walked into the Capitol Building to begin their first session after the end of the Civil War. They understood their responsibility to put the nation back on the path established by the American Founding Fathers. The moment when the Republicans in the Reconstruction Congress remade the nation and renewed the law is in a class of rare events. The Civil War should be seen in this light. In From Oligarchy to Republicanism: The Great Task of Reconstruction, Forrest A. Nabors shows that the ultimate goal of the Republican Party, the war, and Reconstruction was the same. This goal was to preserve and advance republicanism as the American founders understood it, against its natural, existential enemy: oligarchy. The principle of natural equality justified American republicanism and required abolition and equal citizenship. Likewise, slavery and discrimination on the basis of color stand on the competing moral foundation of oligarchy, the principle of natural inequality, which requires ranks. This book presents a shared analysis of the slave South, synthesized from the writings and speeches of the Republicans who served in the 38th, 39th or 40th Congress from 1863-1869. The account draws from their writings and speeches dated before, during, and after their service in Congress. Nabors shows how the Republican majority, charged with the responsibility of reconstructing the South, understood the South. Winner of the American Political Science Association's Political Thought Book Award. “A masterpiece - forceful, persuasive, and enlightening in the extreme… the best book ever written on Reconstruction.” (Paul Rahe, Hillsdale College) “This path-breaking, passionately argued study frames Reconstruction rightly for the first time.” (Will Morrisey, author of Self-Government, the American Theme)
