 Jonathan Israel, "The Expanding Blaze: How the American Revolution Ignited the World, 1775-1848" English | ISBN: 0691176604 | 2017 | 768 pages | MOBI | 4 MB A major intellectual history of the American Revolution and its influence on later revolutions in Europe and the Americas  Beatrice Heuser, "The Evolution of Strategy: Thinking War from Antiquity to the Present" English | ISBN: 0521199689 | 2010 | 594 pages | MOBI | 2 MB Is there a 'Western way of war' which pursues battles of annihilation and single-minded military victory? Is warfare on a path to ever greater destructive force? This magisterial new account answers these questions by tracing the history of Western thinking about strategy - the employment of military force as a political instrument - from antiquity to the present day. Assessing sources from Vegetius to contemporary America, and with a particular focus on strategy since the Napoleonic Wars, Beatrice Heuser explores the evolution of strategic thought, the social institutions, norms and patterns of behaviour within which it operates, the policies that guide it and the cultures that influence it. Ranging across technology and warfare, total warfare and small wars as well as land, sea, air and nuclear warfare, she demonstrates that warfare and strategic thinking have fluctuated wildly in their aims, intensity, limitations and excesses over the past two millennia.  Celia Plender, "The Everyday Politics of Food Co-ops: Care, Aid and Community in Austerity Britain " English | ISBN: 1805399810 | 2025 | 232 pages | EPUB | 2 MB National politics has a significant impact on organizing and accessing community welfare. This book engages with notions of everyday politics within two London-based food co-ops emerging from different political environments and ideologies. It provides a careful and engaging examination of the experiences of political and economic change in Austerity Britain, revealing how national politics came to punctuate everyday lives within the co-ops. It highlights the political resonances that practices of care, aid and community organizing came to have within the food co-ops at a time of rapid welfare withdrawal, as well as the tensions between more radical and neoliberal imaginaries that played out within them.  Rachel E. Simon, "The Every Body Book of Consent: An LGBTQIA-Inclusive Guide to Respecting Boundaries, Bodies, and Beyond" English | ISBN: 1839976837 | 2024 | 69 pages | MOBI | 6 MB We often think about consent in a sexual context, but it actually lies at the heart of our daily life - in interactions with family and friends, and in the respect and empathy we show ourselves and others!  Judyta Lubacha, "The European Digital Economy: Drivers of Digital Transition and Economic Recovery " English | ISBN: 1032584580 | 2025 | 226 pages | PDF | 4 MB The "digital economy" is a conceptual umbrella referring to markets, organizations and their networks that are based on digital technologies, communication, data processing and e-commerce. It is multidimensional and its dynamic structure must be analysed from various dimensions, such as economic - changes in the nature of resources, production factors and economic processes; technological - technological progress viewed from a macroeconomic perspective vs. technological innovation viewed from a microeconomic perspective; regulatory - challenges facing regulators, new risks affecting the institutional order; and sociological - changes in society's functioning principles, attitudes towards work and human relations.  The Eurofighter Typhoon: How one of the world's most powerful fighter jets is built, flown, maintained, and sent into real combat by Kendra Callow English | 2026 | ASIN: B0GJ6YN3SL | 36 pages | pdf | 18 MB  Patrick W Galbraith, "The Ethics of Affect: Lines and Life in a Tokyo Neighborhood " English | ISBN: 9176351599 | 2021 | 360 pages | PDF | 19 MB Based on ongoing fieldwork in the Akihabara neighborhood of Tokyo, specifically a targeted subproject from 2014 to 2015, this book explores how and to what effect lines are drawn by producers, players and critics of bishōjo games. Focusing on interactions with manga/anime-style characters, these adult computer games often feature explicit sex acts. Noting that the bishōjo, or "cute girl characters," in these games can appear quite young, legal actions have been taken in a number of countries to categorize and prohibit the content as child abuse material. In response to the risk of manga/anime images encouraging underage sexualization, lawmakers are moved to regulate them in the same way as photographs or film; triggered by images, the line between fiction and reality is erased, or redrawn to collapse forms together. While Japanese politicians continue to debate a similar course, sustained engagement with  The Essential Guide to Electric Guitar Care: Maintenance, Troubleshooting and Long Term Care by Anthony Denis English | 2026 | ASIN: B0GKQXVB4B | 94 Pages | PDF | 33 MB  Donald Goldsmith, "The End of Astronauts: Why Robots Are the Future of Exploration" English | ISBN: 0674257723 | 2022 | 192 pages | MOBI | 382 KB A History Today Book of the Year  The Employment Law Manual: A Practical Guide for Business Owners, Managers, and Executives by Gerald L.
