Kyushu Gateway to Japan

Kyushu Gateway to Japan
University of Nottingham Andrew Cobbing, "Kyushu: Gateway to Japan "
English | ISBN: 1905246188 | 2008 | 370 pages | PDF | 7 MB
In this first major study of the region in English, the author examines the key themes of Kyushu's history from earliest times - the cultural interaction with the continental mainland, settlement, location and infrastructure as well as trade and commerce, - arguing that it was the principal stepping-stone in terms of Japan's cultural, social and economic advance through history up to the present day. Although an integral part of Japan, Kyushu is culturally distinct in that its location on the East China Sea has exposed the region to an unusually high degree of influence from overseas. There was diplomatic exchange between this island and China, for example, even before the political entity of Japan came into existence. Kyushu, in fact, has been the setting for many of the major cultural encounters in Japan's history, from the introduction of Buddhism, Confucianism and Christianity to gunpowder, coffee and tea. The volume also includes a colour plate section containing 60 images which support the text and provide the reader/researcher with invaluable pictorial references to Kyushu's history from earliest times to the present day.

Knitty Gritty Knitting for the Absolute Beginner

Knitty Gritty Knitting for the Absolute Beginner
Knitty Gritty: Knitting for the Absolute Beginner by Aneeta Patel
English | May 14, 2019 | ISBN: 1789940079 | True EPUB | 128 pages | 93.5 MB
There's a new generation of knitters out there, turning the traditional image of granny-knitters on its head. Everyone has heard the mantra 'knitting is the new yoga' but not everyone is lucky enough to have someone to show them the ropes and get them started on their very first row. Unless they have a friend or relative to teach them how to start, often would-be knitters turn to the so-called 'beginners patterns' but these can be confusing, difficult to follow, and more often than not written in 'knit' rather than English.

Kent at War 1939-45
Tanya Wynn, "Kent at War 1939-45 "
English | ISBN: 1473887402 | 2019 | 176 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
Kent at War 1939 - 45 is a comprehensive account of the part that the county played in the Second World War, covering in great detail a combination of life on the home front from a civilian perspective balanced against that of a military one.The book's narrative looks at the part played by the Dover Patrol in keeping Allied shipping safe in the English Channel, not to mention the preparation and the aftermath of the Dunkirk evacuations in May 1940, with all of the vessels leaving from and returning to Kent ports and harbors. Other topics covered include the part played by the numerous Kent airfields during the Battle of Britain between July and October 1940, and the Richborough camp, which was set up in 1939 at the old First World War Kitchener barracks. Here Jewish men who had escaped from such countries as Germany and Austria, were put up as refugees, and the book includes never before published letters written to one of the camps residents during his stay there.The author also discusses the county's military hospitals, Belgium refugees, as well as the restricted military areas that adorned the Kent coast line, as the people of Kent battened down the hatches knowing full well that not only were they on the front line of attack, but the very first line of defense in the case of a German invasion.

English | ISBN: 0271053771 | 2012 | 264 pages | EPUB | 2 MB

But in recent years a new generation of scholars has revived interest in what Kant had to say about politics. From a position of engagement with today's most pressing questions, this volume of essays offers a comprehensive introduction to Kant's often misunderstood political thought. Covering the full range of sources of Kant's political theory―including not only the
