 The Origins of the Russian Civil War (Origins of Modern Wars) by Geoffrey Swain English | October 23, 1995 | ISBN: 0582059682, 1138837458 | True EPUB/PDF | 312 pages | 2.5/6.9 MB Concentrating on the turbulent months from February 1917 to November 1918, Geoffrey Swain explores the origins of the Civil War against the wider background of revolutionary Russia. He examines the aims of the anti-Bolshevik insurgents themselves; but he also shows how far the fear of civil war governed the action of the Provisional Government, and even the plans of the Bolsheviks. If the war itself can seem a fairly straightforward line-up of revolutionaries and counter-revolutionaries, this study reveals how complex were the motives of the people who precipitated it.  The Origins of the Korean War (Origins of Modern Wars), 2nd Edition by Peter Lowe English | June 10, 1997 | ISBN: 0582251478 | True EPUB/PDF | 302 pages | 2.5/6.3 MB The impressive Second Edition of this standard study incorporates important new evidence on the origins of the war from Chinese and Russian archives. It reveals that Stalin encouraged the attack on South Korea, but also confirms that the original initiative came from North Korea. Peter Lowe has also written an extended conclusion with a discussion of the Koreas in the late 1990s, and the challenges involved in securing their reunification.  The Origins of the French Revolutionary Wars (Origins of Modern Wars) by T. C. W. Blanning English | April 1, 1986 | ISBN: 0582490510, 1138163023 | True EPUB/PDF | 236 pages | 2/10.8 MB A major synthesis of current research on the three wars fought by France during the Revolution - against Austria and Prussia; Britain, Spain and the United Provinces; and against the Second Coalition.  The Origins of the Arab-Israeli Wars (Origins of Modern Wars), 4th Edition by Ritchie Ovendale English | April 15, 2004 | ISBN: 058282320X, 1138145750 | True EPUB/PDF | 398 pages | 3.8/4.5 MB Of all the troubles affecting the modern world few are as topical, deep rooted and intractable as the Arab-Israeli conflict. For this region, an understanding of the past is vital to an understanding of the present. Ritchie Ovendale¿s classic study of the roots of the conflict is now updated for a fourth time and considers events until 2003.  The Origins of the American Civil War (Origins of Modern Wars) by Brian Holden Reid English | August 13, 1996 | ISBN: 0582491789, 1138148016 | True PDF | 456 pages | 18.5 MB This impressive volume - one of the most eagerly awaited additions to a famous series - treats with appropriate amplitude and authority the origins of one of the most terrible conflicts of modern times. The American Civil War was the bloodiest war of the nineteenth century. In its mingling of ideology and self-interest, and in the destructiveness of its weaponry, the extent of its casualties, the degree to which resources on both sides had to be mobilised for the war effort, and, not least, in the way the realities of warfare were brought home - literally - into the drawing rooms and parlours of the American people and far beyond, it can claim not only to prefigure modern warfare but itself to be the first distinctively modern war.  Christopher White, "The Melting World: A Journey Across America's Vanishing Glaciers" English | 2013 | ISBN: 0312546289 | 298 pages | EPUB | 2.3 MB Global warming usually seems to happen far away, but one catastrophic effect of climate change is underway right now in the Rocky Mountains. In The Melting World, Chris White travels to Montana to chronicle the work of Dan Fagre, a climate scientist and ecologist, whose work shows that alpine glaciers are vanishing rapidly close to home. For years, Fagre has monitored the ice sheets in Glacier National Park proving that they-and by extension all Rocky Mountain ice-will melt far faster than previously imagined. How long will the ice fields survive? What are the consequences on our environment? The Melting World chronicles the first extinction of a mountain ecosystem in what is expected to be a series of such global calamities as humanity faces the prospect of a world without alpine ice.  The Local Budget as a Complex System English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030949028 | 161 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 3 MB This book examines budgeting by analyzing the local government budget as a complex system, thus adding a new dimension to traditional budget textbooks. It is designed to complement existing texts-not replace-by putting the budget in a complex system, general equilibrium framework. A complex systems framework adds to conventional budget analysis in at least four ways: It looks at the budget as the result of many variables that are outside the finance department's purview; it understands that there are multiple interdependences among these variables; it suggests analysis of non-obvious relationships among actions in the budget process in order to optimize results; and it argues that the actors in the process must understand that their budgetary behaviors have indirect and far-reaching implications that go beyond the budget document.  The Inheritors: An Intimate Portrait of South Africa's Racial Reckoning by Eve Fairbanks English | July 19th, 2022 | ISBN: 1476725241 | 416 pages | True EPUB | 4.18 MB A dozen years in the making, The Inheritors weaves together the stories of three ordinary South Africans over five tumultuous decades in a sweeping and exquisite look at what really happens when a country resolves to end white supremacy.
 The Business Ecosystem in the Middle East and Europe : Geopolitics, Brand Equity and Frugal Entrepreneurship by Philip S. Baker and Dante A. Baker English | 2020 | ISBN: 1536185264 | 378 Pages | True PDF | 12.8 MB  Strukturanalyse der Gegenwart Deutsch | 2022 | ISBN: 3658282525 | 393 Pages | PDF | 3 MB Strukturfragen und Funktionsprobleme der modernen Gesellschaft sind für René König ein Leitthema, das in den unterschiedlichsten Zusammenhängen immer wieder auftaucht, wenn er sich konkreten inhaltlichen Problemfeldern der Gesellschaft in einer soziologischen Gegenwartsanalyse zuwendet Dabei hat König keine systematische Strukturanalyse der Gesellschaft betrieben, auch hat er die Gesellschaft nicht einer abstrakten strukturell-funktionalen Betrachtung unterzogen. In systematischen Beiträgen oder gelegentlich auch beiläufigen Aufsätzen zu den Themen Massengesellschaft und Zeitbewusstsein, Konsum und Ernährung, Alter, Jugend und Geschlecht, entfaltet sich vor allem im Zusammenhang von Industrialisierung und Technikentwicklung sowie unter dem übergeordneten Fokus des sozialen Wandels eine prägnante, konsistente und kontinuierliche Analyse gesellschaftlicher Strukturzusammenhänge, mit denen König "soziologische Orientierung" in der Gegenwartsgesellschaft vermitteln wollte. Zusätzlich enthält der Band Königs Beiträge zur Sozialpsychologie und Psychoanalyse. |
