Motivation in War: The Experience of Common Soldiers in Old-Regime Europe

This book fundamentally revises our notion of why soldiers of the eighteenth century enlisted, served and fought. In contrast to traditional views of the brutal conditions supposedly prevailing in old-regime armies, Ilya Berkovich reveals that soldiers did not regard military discipline as illegitimate or unnecessarily cruel, nor did they perceive themselves as submissive military automatons. Instead he shows how these men embraced a unique corporate identity based on military professionalism, forceful masculinity and hostility toward civilians. These values fostered the notion of individual and collective soldierly honour which helped to create the bonding effect which contributed toward greater combat cohesion. Utilising research on military psychology and combat theory, and employing the letters, diaries and memoirs of around 250 private soldiers and non-commissioned officers from over a dozen different European armies, Motivation in War transforms our understanding of life of the common soldier in early modern Europe.

The Door of Direct Experience: The Instant Empowerment of Your Life Through the Medium of Direct Experience

Empower yourself! Don’t fall a victim to indirect and unfulfilling experiences, since life is experience and experience is life, this book focuses on to empower you direct experience. Its sole quest is to bring your attention and awareness to your immediate experience. Why? Well because the majority of people today are living indirectly, they are living life that is watered down and filtrated by the personal, psychological mind. This is something the author of this book views as a misfortune, because life lived in this manner is narrow in scope and meagre in wisdom. The door of direct experience will attempt to function as a sober tool for you the earnest individual who wants to empower your life thoroughly. Though not empower in the same way and not through the same medium and attitude that the traditional self-help books usually do nowadays, but rather through a radical approach. Curious? Well get on with reading the darn book then! 🙂 With love Daniel Seeker

But when she discovers an alien race threatening to exterminate all other races within the sector, Hoshiko and her squadron are drawn into a war to stop them, even if it means forging an alliance with aliens who may themselves become a threat to humanity and building an empire that may alienate her from her family once and for all.
