 Edmund B. D'Auvergne, "The Prodigious Marshal: Being the Life and Extraordinary Adventures of Maurice De Saxe, Marshal of France: Son of the King of Poland, Conqueror of the ... the Dukedom of Kurland, and Universal Lover" English | ASIN : B073FWXBV5 | 2017 | 318 pages | EPUB | 5 MB Few military leaders have been as successful or as flamboyant as Maurice Marshal de Saxe, who reigned supreme in the tangled wars that raged across Europe during the early-Eighteenth Century. In this pithy biography, Edmund d'Auvergne traces the ascent of the future marshal from his lowly roots as an illegitimate son of Augustus II of Poland. He fought in many uniforms, serving the Army of the Holy Roma Empire, Imperial Army and most famously at the head of the French Army. Winning many battles in his career, he is best remembered for winning the decisive battle of Fontenoy which established French supremacy in the War of Austrian Succession.
 Sara Shoener, "The Price of Safety: Hidden Costs and Unintended Consequences for Women in the Domestic Violence Service System" English | ISBN: 0826521223 | 2017 | 200 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Specialized public resources for survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) are increasingly common and diverse-from protection order courts and dedicated domestic violence units in police precincts to a vast network of community-based emergency shelters and counseling services. Yet little consensus exists regarding which resources actually work to reduce violence and help survivors lead the lives they would like to live. This book is an account of these resources and IPV survivors' experiences with them in three communities in the United States.  Richard Webber, "The Predictive Postcode: The Geodemographic Classification of British Society" English | ISBN: 1526402335 | 2018 | 328 pages | EPUB | 5 MB It is not lost on commercial organisations that where we live colours how we view ourselves and others. That is why so many now place us into social groups on the basis of the type of postcode in which we live. Social scientists call this practice "commercial sociology".

 The Practical MBA on Economics: WHAT THEY DO & DON'T TEACH YOU AT BUSINESS SCHOOL by Joseph Gulesserian English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B5YPJCWN | 570 pages | EPUB | 3.38 Mb The Practical MBA on Economics  Terri L. Snyder, "The Power to Die: Slavery and Suicide in British North America" English | ISBN: 022628056X | 2015 | 256 pages | EPUB | 5 MB The history of slavery in early America is a history of suicide. On ships crossing the Atlantic, enslaved men and women refused to eat or leaped into the ocean. They strangled or hanged themselves. They tore open their own throats. In America, they jumped into rivers or out of windows, or even ran into burning buildings. Faced with the reality of enslavement, countless Africans chose death instead.

Yochai Benkler, "The Penguin and the Leviathan: How Cooperation Triumphs over Self-Interest" English | 2011 | ISBN: 0385525761 | EPUB | pages: 272 | 1.8 mb What do Wikipedia, Zip Car's business model, Barack Obama's presidential campaign, and a small group of lobster fishermen have in common? They all show the power and promise of human cooperation in transforming our businesses, our government, and our society at large. Because today, when the costs of collaborating are lower than ever before, there are no limits to what we can achieve by working together.  Jenifer Neils, "The Parthenon: From Antiquity to the Present" English | ISBN: 0521820936 | 2005 | 454 pages | PDF | 73 MB This volume offers an overview of the Parthenon from antiquity to the modern era. Recent discoveries, such as the marble sculpture fragments found during the current restoration work on the Acropolis, or a vase excavated in Northern Greece whose decoration echoes a lost pedimental composition, have forced scholars to reconsider many aspects of one of the most important monuments of classical antiquity. Bringing together essays on various aspects of this world-renowned temple, this book examines the dramatic setting of the temple and its impact on modern architects such as Le Corbusier; new reconstructions and interpretations of Pheidias' vast sculptural program; in-depth analysis of architectural refinements; the techniques employed in making the colossal gold-and-ivory cult statue; and a consideration of the Christian and Muslim phases of the Parthenon's history. Collectively, they enhance our understanding of one of the icons of Western art.
