Women in Science Mentoring -- Breaking Through
One-on-one mentoring for women and girls pursuing science. When I applied for a lab position, I was told there was no room for a woman. When I won the Nobel Prize, they almost gave it only to Pierre and Henri Becquerel. Pierre insisted my name be included. Find allies. Document everything. Let the work speak. The work always speaks loudest.
Iklwa Stabbing Spear & Isihlangu Shield Set
The iklwa -- named for the sucking sound it makes when pulled from a body. Short-hafted, broad-bladed, designed for close combat behind the cowhide isihlangu shield. The shield hooks the enemy's shield aside, the iklwa goes in underneath. I changed warfare in Africa with this weapon.
Castle Design & Fortification Workshop
Concentric walls, flanking towers, murder holes, killing grounds. I designed Chateau Gaillard in Normandy -- three baileys, each commanding the one below. Philip took it by climbing through the latrine chute. Tip: Design for the attack you cannot imagine, not the one you expect.
Military Innovation Seminar -- Rethinking Your Weapons
How to look at an existing weapon, tactic, or system and make it fundamentally better. I took a throwing spear and made it a stabbing spear. I took sandals off warriors and made them faster. Innovation is not invention -- it is seeing what everyone sees and thinking what no one thinks.
Mongol Composite Recurve Bow & Quiver (30 Arrows)
Laminated horn-sinew-wood composite bow, 160-pound draw. Effective range 350 yards. Comes with 30 arrows -- armor-piercing, broad-head, and whistling signal arrows. I will string it for you. Most people cannot.
Strategic Thinking for Business -- Sun Tzu Applied
Art of War applied to business competition, negotiation, and market strategy. Deception, positioning, intelligence. Every CEO who read my book only understood half. Tip: The best victories are the ones your competitor does not realize they lost until it is too late.
Mongol Deel Robe & Leather Armor Set
Traditional deel robe (silk-lined wool) plus lamellar leather armor. The silk undershirt wrapped around arrowheads on impact, making them easier to pull out. Every layer serves a purpose.
Plains Horseback Riding -- Bareback & War Pony
Bareback riding on the open plains. No saddle, no stirrups -- just you and the horse. The Lakota were among the finest horsemen on Earth. Knee signals, voice commands, shooting from horseback. Tip: The horse must trust you before it will carry you into danger. Earn the trust first.
Tabletop Printing Press (Working Replica)
Working replica of a 15th-century screw press, scaled to tabletop size. Wooden frame, iron screw, leather ink balls. Comes with a starter set of lead type (Textura blackletter) and oil-based ink. Print your own pages. The same mechanism that ended the Dark Ages, now in your kitchen.
Early Islamic Lamellar Armor & Round Shield
Iron lamellar armor with leather backing, and a round steel shield. Lighter than Byzantine cataphract armor but sufficient against arrows and sword cuts. Designed for speed, not siege. My men could ride all day in this and fight at the end of it.
Golden Age Script Collection (12 Bound Screenplays)
Bound scripts from my best films: The Philadelphia Story, African Queen, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, The Lion in Winter, Bringing Up Baby, and more. Tracy used to say reading the script was my religion. He was right. Study these. Then throw them away and find your own truth.
Arabian Cavalry Tactics -- Speed & Initiative
Light cavalry on Arabian horses -- the fastest, most enduring mounts in the world. Flanking attacks, pursuit, feigned retreat, desert crossing at forced march. At Yarmouk, my cavalry reserves struck the Byzantine flank at the decisive moment. Tip: Reserves are not idle men. They are the hammer you hold behind your back.
