This is a study of sea power and maritime strategy in the Classical Greek world. More than just a study of navies and battles, it examines how the sea was used to influence events ashore and how the use of naval power combined with land power had a defining impact on the period. After an examination of the oft-overlooked practical issues of navigation and administration, the book explores the idea of a 'maritime consciousness' in Greece and how this shaped the way the Greeks engaged in war. Naval operations from the Persian Wars down to the rise of Thebes are examined at the operational and strategic level, including a catalogue of the hundreds of different maritime operations from the 5 th and 4 th centuries BCE. Further, while the great sea power Athens is most prominent, it looks at other city-states to examine how they utilised sea power. This new approach uses modern theory to highlight some enduring lessons of sea power. It demonstrates that Classical scholars should embrace sea power as an important concept in the Greek world. Modern scholars of naval and strategic studies should cast their gaze further back in time when looking for lessons in sea power. This book helps to bridge the scholarship between these two disciplines.

The Soul and Its Destiny explores the soul and its evolutionary journey: what it is, where it came from, and where it is going. It honors traditional religious and philosophical testimony but also draws on modern esoteric teachings. Made in the image of God, the soul is a functional and structural trinity. The soul makes us conscious, builds our external forms, and urges us forward on our journey. Two of its structural layers link us to the lower kingdoms and to overshadowing higher realities, while the middle principle expresses our distinctive humanity and divine potential. The book examines the soul's origins and development up to the present. It explores the soul's future-our future because we are souls-and offers practical advice on how to move more quickly toward our glorious destiny. The soul is alive, striving to grow, waiting to be known and embraced; yearning to reach out. We may become aware of the soul through the arts and religion. But when we respond to its call, our consciousness expands, and we are led to a life of outreach, caring relationships, and service. Like the masters who beckon, we are destined to serve both on this planet and beyond.
