 Barry Davies, "SAS Mountain and Arctic Survival" English | ISBN: 1620872064 | 2013 | 160 pages | MOBI | 4 MB It is difficult to imagine how anyone would enter into a polar or mountainous region unprepared. You're prepared for your journey or you arrive by accident; for example, the aircraft you are traveling in has crash-landed over the frozen tundra, or your mode of transport has broken down in the wilderness. In all cases, providing you are uninjured, your chances of survival are good. Planned travel in a cold or mountainous environment should mean that you are well clothed and equipped.  Barry Davies BEM, "SAS Jungle Survival" English | ISBN: 1620872080 | 2013 | 160 pages | PDF | 4 MB Learn to adapt and survive in the most dangerous of jungles.  Barry Davies, "SAS Desert Survival" English | ISBN: 1620872749 | 2013 | 160 pages | MOBI | 4 MB Anyone venturing into the desert, either by crossing on foot, vehicle, or in an aircraft (other than a commercial flight) should be prepared. Desert regions are those least likely to have an easily available source of water. Nevertheless, the survivor must find a water supply or they will die. No matter how abundant the rest of your survival resources are, without water your time is limited.  Jade McGlynn, "Russia's War" English | ISBN: 1509556761 | 2023 | 264 pages | EPUB | 426 KB In the early hours of 24 February 2022, Russian forces attacked Ukraine. The brutality of the Russian assault has horrified the world. But Russians themselves appear to be watching an entirely different war - one in which they are the courageous underdogs and kind-hearted heroes successfully battling a malign Ukrainian foe.  Grzegorz Ekiert, "Ruling by Other Means " English | ISBN: 110874561X | 2018 | 378 pages | PDF | 5 MB What do states gain by sending citizens into the streets? Ruling by Other Means investigates this question through the lens of State-Mobilized Movements (SMMs), an umbrella concept that includes a range of (often covertly organized) collective actions intended to advance state interests. The SMMs research agenda departs significantly from that of classic social movement and contentious politics theory, focused on threats to the state from seemingly autonomous societal actors. Existing theories assume that the goal of popular protest is to voice societal grievances, represent oppressed groups, and challenge state authorities and other powerholders. The chapters in this volume show, however, that states themselves organize citizens (sometimes surreptitiously and even transnationally) to act collectively to advance state goals. Drawn from different historical periods and diverse geographical regions, these case studies expand and improve our understanding of social movements, civil society and state-society relations under authoritarian regimes.  Matthew Kneale, "Rome: A History in Seven Sackings" English | ISBN: 1786492334 | 2017 | 418 pages | MOBI | 8 MB No city on earth has preserved its past as has Rome. Visitors stand on bridges that were crossed by Julius Caesar and Cicero, walk around temples visited by Roman emperors, and step into churches that have hardly changed since popes celebrated mass in them sixteen centuries ago.

The recipes are totally tantalising - and thanks to Su's guidance, entirely achievable even for novices." - Tim Anderson  Maurizio Lazzarato, "Revolutions of Capitalism: The Politics of the Event" English | ISBN: 1478033711 | 2026 | 178 pages | PDF | 6 MB Framed by brilliant readings of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, Gabriel Tarde, and Mikhail Bakhtin, Maurizio Lazzarato's Revolutions of Capitalism charts a new theory of contemporary capitalism and the politics against it. Originally published in French in 2004, this newly translated work sees capitalism as driven, not only by labor or value, but by the capture of cooperation and by the taming of possibles. Lazzarato theorizes how contemporary capitalism depends on noo-politics, or the "action of brains at a distance on other brains," which seeks to control memory and attention and to trap the proliferation of possibles. Against this, Lazzarato reveals how current social movements attack established institutions and their vision of a single possible world to liberate the creation and actualization of a multiplicity of possible worlds. |
