Battle of the Lys : Givenchy and the River Lawe

Battle of the Lys : Givenchy and the River Lawe

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Tomaseli, Phil, PUBLISHER: Pen & Sword Military, The battles fought at Estaires and Givenchy, just south of Ypres, in April were critical episodes in the larger Battle of Lys which determined the outcome of the ultimate German offensive on the Western Front. The massive assault of Ludendorff's armies crashed against defences manned by the British and Portuguese. A series of intense attacks and counter-attacks followed, and the Germans were on verge of gaining the decisive breakthrough that both sides on the Western Front had struggled for since the onset of trench warfare in late . A German success might well have forced the British to retreat from Ypres. Phil Tomaselli's vivid account reconstructs events in the typical Battleground style. He describes the course of the fighting in close detail, using eyewitness accounts, official records, photographs and maps, and he provides walking and driving tours of the battlefield and of the monuments and cemeteries associated with it.

The Two United Empires and the Federation Kingdom have been at war for centuries and entire galaxies have been turned into war zones. With neither side ever achieving a decisive victory, the conflict has been dragging on so long that both sides have even forgotten the reason why the war originally started. But now, for Konika of the Federation Kingdom, and the others from the United Empire, they must put aside their differences to find a way off the planet together. During this process, they find that perhaps there are no differences between them, and some of them begin to wonder if they would be better off not returning to the war. Acquista Ora

Women and Distance Education: Challenges and Opportunities

Women and Distance Education: Challenges and Opportunities

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Prummer, Christine Von / Von, Glinow Mary / Von Prummer, Christine, PUBLISHER: Routledge, This book provides valuable insights into the situation of women in distance education around the world. A wide variety of evidence from different countries supports the conclusion that open and distance learning has the potential to provide equal opportunities in higher and continuing education and that these are currently being missed. The author provides conclusive evidence that distance education, while involving a degree of risk to the stability of families and relationships, etc., nevertheless offers women a chance which, on balance, is worth taking. The author says that it is up to distance education policy makers to provide a framework for women students which will limit the risks and maximise the opportunities. Drawing on fascinating case study material, this book presents vital information for these policy makers.

Talcott Parsons: Economic Sociologist of the 20th Century

Talcott Parsons: Economic Sociologist of the 20th Century

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Parsons, Talcott / Moss, Laurence S. / Savchenko, Andrew, PUBLISHER: Wiley-Blackwell, Talcott Parsons' writings are indisputably classics of American sociology. Today, more than a quarter century after Parsons' death and a full thirty years since he dominated sociological discourse, Parsons' theories still serve as flashpoints in many debates. Parsons worked his entire life to reconcile the insights of modern economics with modern sociology and to explore how an authentic economic sociology could be developed. The ambivalent reactions by contemporary sociologists surrounding Parsons' work has motivated this book in an effort to help unify the social sciences by exploring their special competencies and taking stock of their unique insights. Beginning with a transcript of Parsons' March 10th, , seminar, the book follows with five essays that explore Parsons and the precise connection between his work and some of the ideas in the new economic sociology.

Scandalous Behavior: Advice on Dating for Women and Love

Scandalous Behavior: Advice on Dating for Women and Love

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Carroll, Richard, PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, I have hung out with girls all my life, who I think are more intelligent than men, and the only form of communication I had where I could learn anything of substance was from women. When you are always in the company of women, you always hear both sides of the real story, not the macho and overly exaggerated facts that men give. So really, in essence, women made me the womanizer that I became. I learned so much about women being around them on a constant basis. It's like a wolf among sheep. Women have an overwhelming desire to mother you or to think that they can mold you and try to change you into the imaginary man or husband that they really want, when most women themselves don't really know. That's the principal reason I wrote this novel.

The King of the World in the Land of the Pygmies

The King of the World in the Land of the Pygmies

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mark, Joan, PUBLISHER: University of Nebraska Press, Joan Mark offers an interpretive biography of Patrick Tracy Lowell Putnam (), who spent twenty-five years living among the Bambuti pygmies of the Ituri Forest in what is now Zaire. On the Epulu River he constructed Camp Putnam as a harmonious multiracial community. He modeled his camp on the "dude ranches" of the American West, taking in paying guests while running a medical clinic and occasionally offering legal aid to the local people, and assumed the role of intermediary between locals and visitors, including Colin M. Turnbull, author of the classic "Forest People." Mark describes Putnam's mercurial relations with family and with his African and American wives--and follows him to his sad and violent end. She places Patrick Putnam within the context of three different anthropological traditions and examines his contribution as an expert on pygmies.

French Philosophy in the Twentieth Century

French Philosophy in the Twentieth Century

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gutting, Gary, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In this book Gary Gutting tells, clearly and comprehensively, the story of French philosophy from to . He examines the often neglected background of spiritualism, university idealism, and early philosophy of science, and also discusses the privileged role of philosophy in the French education system. Taking account of this background, together with the influences of avant-garde literature and German philosophy, he develops a rich account of existential phenomenology, which he argues is the central achievement of French thought during the century, and of subsequent structuralist and poststructuralist developments. Gary Gutting is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame and a leading authority on the work of Michel Foucault. In addition to continental philosophy, he has done important work in philosophy of science and philosophy of religion. Gutting is the author of several books, including Michel Foucault's Archaeology of Scientific Knowledge (Cambridge, ), Pragmatic Liberalism and the Critique of Modernity (Cambridge, ), and the editor of The Cambridge Companion to Foucault (Cambridge, ).

Warriors and Scribes: Essays in the History and Politics of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dunkerley, James, PUBLISHER: Verso, Warriors and Scribes opens and closes using the prism of biography to question the framing of Latin American political life from both a northern, Cold War perspective and from the trivializations of postmodernism. An investigation of Jorge Castaneda's Utopia Disarmed reveals that Latin American politics are eminently transformable beyond the failed nostrums of multilateral organizations and collapsed dictatorships of the s. In surveying regional relations with the USA since , and a taking a wry look at Hollywood's treatment of Central America under Reagan, Dunkerley points out that Anglo-America has possessed neither a uniform imperialist vocation nor the consistent capacity to impose it. Two pieces written in the late s -- a reappraisal of Latin American Studies since the Cuban Revolution and a survey of the contemporary politics of Bolivia -- reflect the author's concerns with a place that was "American" for half a millennium before "Americanization through globalization" became a watchword.
