Summary

Artillery Power examines the sweeping impact of artillery on military history, arguing its evolution has consistently reshaped battlefield tactics and military strategy from ancient times to modern warfare. The book highlights how artillery redefined the possibilities and limitations of military power, not just through technological advancements but also through its influence on social and economic factors. Readers will discover how crucial the interplay between technology, strategy, and societal forces are to understanding artillery's impact.

 
The book chronologically progresses from ancient siege engines to contemporary precision-guided munitions, detailing tactical adaptations driven by artillery's enhanced capabilities. For instance, the shift from gunpowder artillery to more sophisticated siege guns during the Renaissance significantly altered territorial control strategies. Similarly, the advent of rifled artillery transformed industrial warfare during the American Civil War, making battles deadlier and more complex. This study provides a comprehensive look at how artillery's development forced militaries to adapt.

 
Drawing from military manuals, battle reports, and quantitative data, Artillery Power offers a balanced and objective analysis suitable for both academics and enthusiasts interested in military technology and its historical significance, making it a valuable resource for understanding military planning and defense procurement.

    There are many Prophecies and Premonitions from the past which still might happen. This book looks at the most important from a variety of sources and attempts to analyze what will really happen and when. 
    Being an Engineer and a Clairvoyant has led me to analyze my prophecy experiences and given me a better understanding of how they exist and work. 
    My major experiences are reviewed in Chapter 2.0 along with my explanations of how prophecy really works. 
    In the rest of this book we will explore many prophecies from the past which have yet to occur, as well as forecasts by current prophets and great thinkers about our future. 
    Then we get into a few prophecies by those who had Near Death Experiences (NDEs) who are therefore closer to their spirit which increases prophetic validity. 
    Next I make a few of my own prophecies about our future from looking ahead with my intuition to see “what feels right”. 
    Lastly, is an analysis of the prophecies in this book and what we can learn from them.

    A personal meditation on love in the shadow of white privilege and racism 
     
     
     
    Child is the story of Judy Goldman's relationship with Mattie Culp, the Black woman who worked for her family as a live-in maid and helped raise her—the unconscionable scaffolding on which the relationship was built and the deep love. It is also the story of Mattie's child, who was left behind to be raised by someone else. Judy, now eighty, cross-examines what it was to be a privileged white child in the Jim Crow South, how a bond can evolve in and out of step with a changing world, and whether we can ever tell the whole truth, even to ourselves. It is an incandescent book of small moments, heart-warming, heartbreaking, and, ultimately, inspiring.
