The Great War of 1914-1918 burst on the European scene with a brutality to mankind not yet witnessed by the civilized world. Modern warfare was no longer the stuff of chivalry and honor; it was a mutilative, deadly, and humbling exercise to wipe out the very presence of humanity. Suddenly, thousands upon thousands of maimed, beaten, and bleeding men surged into aid stations and hospitals with injuries unimaginable in their scope and destruction. Doctors scrambled to find some way to salvage not only life but limb. The Great War and the Birth of Modern Medicine provides a startling and graphic account of the efforts of teams of doctors and researchers to quickly develop medical and surgical solutions. Those problems of gas gangrene, hemorrhagic shock, gas poisoning, brain trauma, facial disfigurement, broken bones, and broken spirits flooded hospital beds, stressing caregivers and prompting medical innovations that would last far beyond the Armistice of 1918 and would eventually provide the backbone of modern medical therapy. ![]() English | 2006 | MP3 | M4B | ASIN: B000GB8WF8 | Duration: 5:55 h | 169 MB Douglas Brinkley / Narrated by Kyf Brewer ![]() English | 2015 | MP3 | M4B | ASIN: B00XO2VW9O | Duration: 7:46 h | 213 MB Jessica Lahey / Narrated by Jessica Lahey ![]() English | May 24, 2022 | ASIN: B09ZK1D3J9 | MP3 | M4B | 4h 29m | 245 MB Authors: Richie Stephens, John Altschuler, Dave Krinsky | Narrator: Richie Stephens ![]() English | September 06, 2022 | ASIN: B0BBP48XFC | MP3 | M4B | 8h 32m | 465 MB Author: James P.

Forced removal of entire populations, sieges that decimated entire cities, and wanton destruction of property were all tactics used by the various peoples of the ancient Near East against each other, but the Assyrians were the first people to make war a science. When the Assyrians are mentioned, images of war and brutality are among the first that come to mind, despite the fact that their culture prospered for nearly 2,000 years. ![]() English | August 4, 2022 | ASIN: B0B16RLQJ6 | MP3 | M4B | 13h 39m | 336 MB Author and Narrator: James Crawford ![]() English | 2022 | MP3 | 723 MB About The Economist ![]() English | 2022 | MP3 | 209 MB About The Economist ![]() English | ISBN: 9798822621510 | 2022 | 1 hours and 40 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 138 MB India has been the location of many different empires throughout its long history. The Indus Valley Civilization was home to one of the world's first civilizations more than 5,000 years ago, which was followed by the Aryan-Vedic culture and then a host of other kingdoms that flourished across the Sub-Continent. The Delhi Sultanate was comprised of five dynasties that expanded their borders, and Islam, at sword point, but also through diplomacy and trade. The Delhi Sultanate became known as a state that welcomed the expertise of foreigners, no matter their religion, and promoted the welfare of its citizens through a host of social programs. Eventually, the Delhi Sultanate grafted ideas and inspiration from India's pre-Islamic past with those of Islam to create a state that was quite unique and powerful. The Delhi sultans were themselves descended from Turks and brought with them ideas from Persia. Furthermore, as their empire grew, they invited scholars from throughout the Islamic world to their country, and as Muslim scholars, scientists, and administrators from the Near East made their way into India, the Delhi sultans also incorporated some of the cultural ideas of the native Hindu Indians to create a state that was as unique as any the world had ever seen. |
