Paperback. Zustand: Used. In the realm of military literature, one might be forgiven for assuming that ?Combat, Vol. 3? is merely a dusty tome best suited for the coffee tables of armchair generals or the precarious stacks of fervent history enthusiasts. In reality, this splendidly raucous anthology is your all-access pass to the trenches of imagination, where Harold Coyle, Ralph Peters, James H. Cobb, and R. J. Pineiro throw caution to the wind and pick up a pen instead. Here, battles are fought not only in the field but also within the pages, where words become the artillery shells of storytelling. Think of it as a literary battlefield where the pen truly is mightier than the sword?although you might want to keep the sword handy for dramatic flair. Published in 2002 by Forge Books, this third volume in the ?Combat? series is not just a collection of war stories; it?s an invitation to contemplate the absurdity of human conflict through the eyes of several contributors?each bringing their own unique flair. You might wonder why an anthology requires multiple voices. Is it to ensure more ways to gloriously misinterpret the chaos of war? Or perhaps it?s an elaborate ploy to prevent any one writer from being blamed for a particularly egregious historical faux pas? Regardless, this book has you covered with its multifaceted narratives that could, if nothing else, spark debates over dinner about whether it?s more acceptable to dodge the draft or the next unwelcome family reunion. Now, let?s address the elephant in the room: the cover. With its bold title and a design that shouts ?I mean business,? it?s the sort of book that can confidently sit next to your collection of war memorabilia. It?s the perfect conversation starter when your guests are inevitably bored with the usual chit-chat about the weather or last Sunday?s football match. Just place it strategically on your bookshelf and watch as people raise their eyebrows, feign intellectual curiosity, and try to guess the plot. Spoiler alert: there is none?this anthology refuses to adhere to the conventions of linear storytelling, much like a cat refusing to walk in a straight line. Readers can expect a hodgepodge of narratives that ride the wave of military prowess, camaraderie, and the inevitable absurdity of life on the front lines. You might encounter tales steeped in realism, only to be jolted awake by diabolically humorous anecdotes that remind you how fragile our sanity can be in the face of warfare. It?s a peculiar juxtaposition where gallantry meets banter, creating a rollercoaster of emotional whiplash that leaves readers both enlightened and slightly confused. Just like a poorly executed military strategy, you may find yourself asking, ?What just happened?? And yet, the true charm of ?Combat, Vol. 3? lies in its ability to defy expectations. This anthology is less about glorifying war and more about wrestling with the philosophical questions that arise when humans choose to engage in such madness. Each story serves as a reminder that behind every soldier?s bravado, there lurks a foible or two?sometimes three. Perhaps the contributors sought to show us that even amidst the chaos of combat, laughter can be found lurking in the trenches, waiting for the right moment to strike. Condition: Used, but in better shape than most of the generals who would have read it. The spine may be slightly creased, and there might be a few dog-eared pages?an indication that someone took this literary excursion seriously enough to read it in the bath. Fear not, for it?s just enough wear to lend credibility, like a battle-scarred veteran sharing war stories in a pub. If you?re in the market for a book that has absorbed the essence of curiosity and perhaps a splash of bubble bath, look no further. So, if you?re feeling adventurous or simply wish to impress guests with your collection of ?serious? literature, ?Combat, Vol. 3? is the perfect antidote to the mundane. Grab your copy today, courtesy of Crappy Old Books, where the riches of second-hand literary treasures await, often with a side of delightful irony.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. This collection presents, for the first time, a much-needed synthesis of the major research themes and findings that characterize the Woodland Period in the southeastern United States.The Woodland Period (ca. 1200 B.C. to A.D. 1000) has been the subject of a great deal of archaeological research over the past 25 years. Researchers have learned that in this approximately 2000-year era the peoples of the Southeast experienced increasing sedentism, population growth, and organizational complexity. At the beginning of the period, people are assumed to have been living in small groups, loosely bound by collective burial rituals. But by the first millennium A.D., some parts of the region had densely packed civic ceremonial centers ruled by hereditary elites. Maize was now the primary food crop. Perhaps most importantly, the ancient animal-focused and hunting-based religion and cosmology were being replaced by solar and warfare iconography, consistent with societies dependent on agriculture, and whose elites were increasingly in competition with one another. This volume synthesizes the research on what happened during this era and how these changes came about while analyzing the period's archaeological record.In gathering the latest research available on the Woodland Period, the editors have included contributions from the full range of specialists working in the field, highlighted major themes, and directed readers to the proper primary sources. Of interest to archaeologists and anthropologists, both professional and amateur, this will be a valuable reference work essential to understanding the Woodland Period in the Southeast. …
