A Walk in the Park: A Vietnam Comedy By Odon Bacque 2015 | 200 Pages | ISBN: 1515111598 | EPUB | 2 MB Odon L. Bacque Jr. figures his poor eyesight rules him out for the draft, not to mention the fact that he's studying law in college, so the young man doesn't worry too much about the war raging in Vietnam. But when his law school requests he doesn't return, Bacque learns just how wrong he was.Still convinced his eyesight-or rather the lack of it-disqualifies him from a combat position, he learns once again he's mistaken. Sent through Officer Candidate School, he winds up assigned to the 5th Special Forces...the Green Berets.Once in Vietnam, Bacque prepares for the worst-only to have fate finally cut him some slack. Reassigned from an A team back to a B team, he finds himself removed from the front lines and ordered to perform a task better suited to an accounting major, a course he barely passed in college. Still, it beat trying to survive jungle warfare with a serious vision impairment...A Walk in the Park: A Vietnam Comedy charts Bacque's experiences in Vietnam along with his growing disillusionment with the war's management. Funny without being disrespectful, his story offers a surprisingly comedic look at wartime service.

 William E. Scheuerman, "A New American Labor Movement: The Decline of Collective Bargaining and the Rise of Direct Action" English | ISBN: 1438485492 | 2021 | 264 pages | EPUB | 807 KB The American labor movement isn't dead. It's just moving from the bargaining table to the streets. In A New American Labor Movement, William Scheuerman analyzes how the decline of unions and the emergence of these new direct-action movements are reshaping the American labor movement. Tens of thousands of exploited workers-from farm laborers and gig drivers to freelance artists and restaurant workers-have taken to the streets in a collective attempt to attain a living wage and decent working conditions, with or without the help of unions. This new worker militancy, expressed through mass demonstrations, strikes, sit-ins, political action, and similar activities, has already achieved much success and offers models for workers to exercise their power in the twenty-first century. Finally, Scheuerman notes, many of the strategies of the new direct-action groups share features with the sectoral bargaining model that dominates the European labor movement, suggesting that sectoral bargaining may become the foundation of a new American labor movement.  Lloyd Pettiford, "A New A-Z of International Relations Theory " English | ISBN: 184885501X | 2015 | 320 pages | EPUB | 520 KB International Relations is the multi-disciplinary and heterogeneous study which goes to the heart of relations between states and international organizations, embracing international politics, economics, political economy, diplomatic, and international history. It seeks to explain the mainsprings of global politics, is a prime field for historians and especially for political scientists, and IR theory provides the essential intellectual underpinning of the discipline. This book features over 250 alphabetical entries covering the most important and the latest cutting-edge theory, from anarchy to world systems theory. Entries include scholars, writers, concepts, principal debates, argumentation, theories, leading schools of thought, states, international bodies, conflicts and war, treaties and alliances. The coverage is global and comprehensive with substantial cross-referencing, and the extensive index serves as a major reference tool enabling readers to pick up additional important subjects from the main alphabetical entries. Clear and concise writing cuts through even the most opaque theoretical subjects and the result is an essential reference guide for students of International Relations, politics, and history that will guide both specialists and general readers through the fast-changing complexities of global politics.  Michael Fortescue, "A Neural Network Model of Lexical Organisation " English | ISBN: 1441111433 | 2009 | 248 pages | PDF | 1462 KB This is an engaging study of the mental lexicon: the way in which the form and meaning of words is stored by speakers of specific languages. Fortescue attempts to narrow the gap between the results of experimental neurology and the concerns of theoretical linguistics in the area of lexical semantics. The prime goal as regards linguistic theory is to show how matters of lexical organization can be analysed and discussed within a neurologically informed framework that is both adaptable and constrained. |
