Women have participated in war throughout history, but their experience in Russia during the First World War was truly exceptional. Between the war`s beginning and the October Revolution of 1917, approximately 6,000 women answered their country`s call.

Laurie Stoff draws on deep archival research into previously unplumbed material, including many first-person accounts, to examine the roots, motivations, and legacy of these women. She reveals that Russia was the only nation in World War I that systematically employed women in the military, marking the first time that a...

Levitt, Black Swan author Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Nudge co-author Richard Thaler, Thinking Fast and Slow offers a whole new look at the way our minds work, and how we make decisions.
