Jürg Helbling, "The Ending of Tribal Wars: Configurations and Processes of Pacification " English | ISBN: 0367520435 | 2022 | 270 pages | EPUB | 1445 KB All over the world and throughout millennia, states have attempted to subjugate, control and dominate non-state populations and to end their wars. This book compares such processes of pacification leading to the end of tribal warfare in seven societies from all over the world between the 19th and 21st centuries. It shows that pacification cannot be understood solely as a unilateral imposition of state control but needs to be approached as the result of specific interactions between state actors and non-state local groups. Indigenous groups usually had options in deciding between accepting and resisting state control. State actors often had to make concessions or form alliances with indigenous groups in order to pursue their goals. Incentives given to local groups sometimes played a more important role in ending warfare than repression. In this way, indigenous groups, in interaction with state actors, strongly shaped the character of the process of pacification. This volume's comparison finds that pacification is more successful and more durable where state actors mainly focus on selective incentives for local groups to renounce warfare, offer protection, and only as a last resort use moderate repression, combined with the quick establishment of effective institutions for peaceful conflict settlement.  Spencer Mawby, "The End of Empire in Uganda: Decolonization and Institutional Conflict, 1945-79" English | ISBN: 1350051799 | 2020 | 272 pages | EPUB | 626 KB The negative legacy of the British empire is often thought of in terms of war and economic exploitation, while the positive contribution is associated with the establishment of good governance and effective, modern institutions. In this new analysis of the end of empire in Uganda, Spencer Mawby challenges these preconceptions by explaining the many difficulties which arose when the British attempted to impose western institutional models on Ugandan society.  Paula S. Fass, "The End of American Childhood: A History of Parenting from Life on the Frontier to the Managed Child" English | ISBN: 0691178208 | 2017 | 352 pages | EPUB | 2 MB How American childhood and parenting have changed from the nation's founding to the present  Lisa Damour, Ph.D., "The Emotional Lives of Teenagers: Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescents" English | ISBN: 0593500016 | 2023 | EPUB | 256 pages | 3 MB An urgently needed guide to help parents understand their teenagers' intense and often fraught emotional lives-and how to support them through this critical developmental stage-from the New York Times bestselling author of Untangled and Under Pressure  Peter Swain, "The Emergence of Football: Sport, Culture and Society in the Nineteenth Century " English | ISBN: 1138571601 | 2020 | 248 pages | EPUB | 744 KB The Emergence of Football fuses sports history into mainstream economic, social and cultural history, setting the development of the people's game against the backdrop of the Industrial Revolution.  Jean-Louis Robert, "The Emergence of European Trade Unionism" English | ISBN: 1138620955 | 2020 | 268 pages | EPUB | 524 KB The Emergence of European Trade Unionism examines the pre-1914 development of trade unions in different European countries, including France, Germany, Britain and The Netherlands. Part one examines trade unionism in the iron, steel and textile industries, as well as the Dockers unions in the ports of London. A variety of locations is considered, large to medium towns, and textile and machine making cities. Part two continues with assessments of major aspects of industrial relations in these countries. Collectively the essays provide a fresh reassessment of Western European trade unionism in the four decades before the First World War. By taking such an overtly comparative position in terms of subject matter, geographical coverage and approach, the book offers intriguing insights and unusual perspectives into the national, international and transnational themes that run through the history of early twentieth century trade unionism.  Leonard V. Smith, "The Embattled Self: French Soldiers' Testimony of the Great War" English | ISBN: 080144523X | 2007 | 232 pages | EPUB | 1246 KB How did the soldiers in the trenches of the Great War understand and explain battlefield experience, and themselves through that experience? Situated at the intersection of military history and cultural history, The Embattled Self draws on the testimony of French combatants to explore how combatants came to terms with the war. In order to do so, they used a variety of narrative tools at hand―rites of passage, mastery, a character of the soldier as a consenting citizen of the Republic. None of the resulting versions of the story provided a completely consistent narrative, and all raised more questions about the "truth" of experience than they answered. Eventually, a story revolving around tragedy and the soldier as victim came to dominate―even to silence―other types of accounts. In thematic chapters, Leonard V. Smith explains why the novel structured by a specific notion of trauma prevailed by the 1930s.  Birsen Filip, "The Early History of Economics in the United States " English | ISBN: 1032162406 | 2022 | 268 pages | PDF | 6 MB Since the latter half of the 20th century, the economics departments of American universities were internationally renowned for providing competitive and advanced levels of education.
