Writer and editor Robert A. Parker has followed up his six-volume A
Literary Cavalcade with a seventh volume. This volume of criticism
covers mainly the fiction he has read from 2013 to early 2017. His
comments are informed by his Jesuit upbringing but also by an
independent critical view that balances a moral and literary
sensibility. The writers here represent a broad range of writing
styles, cultural influences, and moral philosophies. And all are
rated on their literary achievement, the effectiveness of plot,
character, and setting, plus their recognition of the moral,
ethical, and spiritual values of mankind. Here is a unique critical
perspective that measures the meaning of literature against the
meaning of life.

You already know that logistics is hard, it should not be, but it
just is. The key components to supply and movement consist of
receive, store, issue, and move. It should be that simple. Bottom
line: it just is not that simple. There are too many moveable parts
where the synergy of the operation could provide a scenario where
the combined requirements needed to sustain a theater are greater
than the sum of their individual effects or capabilities. . This
book outlines some of these logistical components and their
doctrinal relationship to the operation, as well as provides some
new ideas. . The chapters are formatted in a fashion that offer the
reader the doctrinal concept that the operation or function is
based on, and then presents new theories on how to better execute
the logistical function or capability as it relates to the
operation. . The goal is to discuss those hard logistical topics
and their conception to improve the general knowledge and
understanding on "why it happens," and "how we can improve the
outcome."

On the Pleasure of Hating, William Hazlitt's classic contemplation
of human hatred, is in this edition accompanied by several of his
finest essays. As one of England's most distinguished wits of the
early 19th century, William Hazlitt was an accomplished author,
painter and critic whose barbed prose was notorious in literary
circles at the time. Hazlitt wrote the titular essay of this
collection in 1826, when his personal circumstances were strained;
we thus find his tone both markedly resentful and embittered. On
the Pleasure of Hating is, however, among the finest and most
consistently insightful and lucid works Hazlitt ever wrote. Perhaps
Hazlitt's greatest claim to prowess was his ability to produce
succinct and quotable passages. Each of the six essays in this
compendium contain prime examples of the perceptive phrases and
summations which Hazlitt regularly produced in his prime.
