 Paul Dixon, Eamonn O'Kane, "Northern Ireland Since 1969" English | 2011 | ISBN: 1405801352 | PDF | pages: 224 | 17.9 mb The conflict in Northern Ireland since 1969 has cost over 3,600 lives and about 100,000 people in Northern Ireland live in a household where someone has been injured in a troubles-related incident. This has been a key issue in British and Irish politics and the recent peace process in Northern Ireland and the current 'War on Terrorism' has stimulated international involvement and a desire to 'learn the lessons' of 'the troubles'.  Lotte Sommerer, "Nodes and Networks in Diachronic Construction Grammar " English | ISBN: 9027205442 | 2020 | 355 pages | PDF | 6 MB This volume brings together ten contributions by leading experts who present their current usage-based research in Diachronic Construction Grammar. All papers contribute to the discussion of how to conceptualize constructional networks best and how to model changes in the constructicon, as for example node creation or loss, node-external reconfiguration of the network or in/decrease in productivity and schematicity. The authors discuss the theoretical status of allostructions, homostructions, constructional families and constructional paradigms. The terminological distinction between constructionalization and constructional change is revisited. It is shown how constructional competition but also general cognitive abilities like analogical thinking and schematization relate to the structure and reorganization of the constructional network. Most contributions focus on the nature of vertical and horizontal links. Finally, contributions to the volume also discuss how existing network models should be enriched or reconceptualized in order to integrate theoretical, psychological and neurological aspects missing so far.
 Gregory A. Daddis, "No Sure Victory: Measuring U.S. Army Effectiveness and Progress in the Vietnam War" English | 2011 | pages: 354 | ISBN: 0199746877 | PDF | 3,6 mb Conventional wisdom holds that the US Army in Vietnam, thrust into an unconventional war where occupying terrain was a meaningless measure of success, depended on body counts as its sole measure of military progress. In No Sure Victory, Army officer and historian Gregory Daddis looks far deeper into the Army's techniques for measuring military success and presents a much more complicated-and disturbing-account of the American misadventure in Indochina.
 No Platform: A History of Anti-Fascism, Universities and the Limits of Free Speech (Routledge Studies in Fascism and the Far Right) by Evan Smith English | May 12, 2020 | ISBN: 113859167X, 1138591688 | EPUB | 238 pages | 0.6 MB This book is the first to outline the history of the tactic of 'no platforming' at British universities since the 1970s, looking at more than four decades of student protest against racist and fascist figures on campus.  Tim Saunders, "Nijmegen: U. S. 82nd Airborne And Guards Armoured Division" English | 2008 | ISBN: 0850528151 | EPUB | pages: 160 | 10.0 mb The 82nd Airborne Division fought some of its most desperate battles in support of the British landings at Arnhem, yet these actions are little known today. All of the units, personalities and actions of this hopeless struggle are covered in the acclaimed Battleground Europe style. This heavily illustrated work also contains a guide to the battle sites, monuments and local facilities as they are today.  Domenico Losurdo, "Nietzsche, the Aristocratic Rebel " English | ISBN: 9004270949 | 2019 | 1076 pages | PDF | 4 MB In a work that constitutes the most important contribution to Nietzschean studies in recent decades, Domenico Losurdo restores the philosophers works to their complex nineteenth-century context.  New Ideas from Dead CEOs: Lasting Lessons from the Corner Office By Todd G. Buchholz 2007 | 315 Pages | ISBN: 0061197629 | PDF | 2 MB New Ideas from Dead CEOs uncovers the secrets of success of great CEOs by giving readers an intimate look at their professional and personal lives. Why did Ray Kroc's plan for McDonald's thrive when many burger joints failed? And how, decades later, did Krispy Kreme fail to heed Kroc's hard-won lessons? How did Walt Disney's most dismal day as a young cartoonist radically change his career? When EstГ©e Lauder was a child in Queens, New York, the average American spent $8 a year on toiletries. Why did she spot an opportunity in selling high-priced cosmetics, and why did she pound on Saks's doors? How did Thomas Watson Jr. decide to roll the dice and put all of IBM's chips on computing, when his father thought it could be a losing idea? We learn about these CEOs' greatest challenges and failures, and how they successfully rode the waves of demographic and technological change. New Ideas from Dead CEOs not only gives us fascinating insights into these CEOs' lives, but also shows how we can apply their ideas to the present-day triumphs and struggles of Sony, Dell, Costco, Carnival Cruises, Time Warner, and numerous other companies trying to figure out how to stay on top or climb back up. The featured CEOs in this book were not candidates for sainthood. Many of them knew ''god'' only as a prefix to ''dammit.'' But they were devoted to their businesses, not just to their egos and their personal bank accounts and yachts. Extraordinarily fresh and deeply thoughtful, Todd G. Buchholz's New Ideas from Dead CEOs is a truly enjoyable and funвЂ"yet serious and realisticвЂ"look at what we still have to learn and absorb from these decomposing CEOs.

It places the victims and Allied medical intelligence officers at center stage, while providing a full reconstruction of policies on war crimes and trials related to Nazi medical atrocities and genocide. The analysis of the Medical Trial considers the prosecution, defense, judges and observers to present a rounded picture of the court and its context, and the aftermath in terms of Cold War politics, compensation and research ethics.
