Evelyn Waugh, John Maxwell Hamilton, "Waugh in Abyssinia" English | 2007 | ISBN: 0807132519, 0413548309 | 200 pages | EPUB / MOBI | 0.53 MB Scoop, Evelyn Waugh's bestselling comedy of England's newspaper business of the 1930s is the closest thing foreign correspondents have to a bible - they swear by it. But few readers are acquainted with Waugh's memoir of his stint as a London Daily Mail correspondent in Abyssinia (now Ethiopia) during the Italian invasion in the 1930s. Waugh in Abyssinia is an entertaining account by a cantankerous and unenthusiastic war reporter that "provides a fascinating short history of Mussolini's imperial adventure as well as a wickedly witty preview of the characters and follies that figure into Waugh's famous satire." In the forward, veteran foreign correspondent John Maxwell Hamilton explores in how Waugh ended up in Abyssinia, which real-life events were fictionalized in Scoop, and how this memoir fits into Waugh's overall literary career, which includes the classic Brideshead Revisited. As Hamilton explains, Waugh was the right man (a misfit), in the right place (a largely unknown country that lent itself to farcical imagination), at the right time (when the correspondents themselves were more interesting than the scraps of news they could get.) The result, Waugh in Abyssinia, is a memoir like no other. Brian Todd Carey, Joshua B. Allfee, John Cairns, "Warfare In The Medieval World" English | 2012 | ISBN: 1848847416 | EPUB | pages: 272 | 4.9 mb Warfare in the Medieval World explores how civilizations and cultures made war on the battlefields of the Near East and Europe in the period between the fall of Rome and the introduction of reliable gunpowder weapons during the Thirty Years' War.

The result is a synthetic work that will be essential reading for students and armchair military historians alike.

Peter Caygill, "Ultimate Spitfires" English | 2007 | ISBN: 1844154165 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 2.8 mb The Spitfire is probably Britain's best loved and admired airplane. It is also revered around the world. This book looks at the later marques that were modified for various special tasks and differed to a large degree from Supermarine's first early versions that saw action in the early days of World War II. New and more powerful Rolls-Royce engines replaced the well-tried Merlin, but increased the aircraft's performance in terms of speed and operational altitude. Subtle changes to wing design also increased the maneuverability and capability of these spectacular models that survived in the operational role until superseded by the introduction of jet-powered flight.

Lisa Rosner, "The Technological Fix" English | 2004 | pages: 250 | ISBN: 0415947111 | PDF | 4,1 mb The term "technological fix" should mean a fix provided by technology-a solution for all of our problems, from medicine and food production to the environment and business. Instead, technological fix has come to mean a cheap, quick fix using inappropriate technology that usually creates more problems than it solves. This collection sets out the distinction between a technological fix and a true technological solution. Bringing together scholars from a variety of disciplines, the essays trace the technological fix as it has appeared throughout the twentieth century. Addressing such "fixes" as artificial hearts, industrial agriculture and climate engineering, these essays examine our need to turn to technology for solutions to all of our problems.

Instead, this manual supports the students' exploration of the art and science of prehospital medicine by providing a rich palette of learning tools, images, and even video to better explain concepts and techniques. The Paramedic Manual speaks clearly and directly to the paramedic student. The material in each chapter revolves around "Need To Know" (NTK) objectives; those that the authors of both the Textbook and Manual felt were absolutely necessary for the paramedic student to master before moving on to the next section or chapter. All features in the Manual were designed to ensure that learners can successfully master these NTK objectives. Multimedia tools on the accompanying DVD create an educational space that is rich with information.
