Ioannis Stefanidis, "Stirring the Greek Nation: Political Culture, Irredentism and Anti-Americanism in Post-War Greece, 1945-1967"
English | ISBN: 0754660591 | 2007 | 316 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This work examines the background to Greek nationalist politics and its effects on public opinion towards international events and territorial claims, from the end of the Second World War to the collapse of constitutional rule in 1967. It explains how intermittent public mobilisation on various foreign policy issues created a political culture that combined elements of nationalism, religion, race and stereotypes about the national Self and the Other. The book challenges widely-held assumptions that Greek irredentism was all but dead and buried in the aftermath of the Asia Minor catastrophe of 1922, and that anti-Americanism was the product of US support for the Colonels' regime of 1967-74 and its condoning of the Turkish occupation of northern Cyprus. It begins with an examination of the revival of irredentism in connection with Greek national claims after 1945 and the two campaigns for the union of Cyprus with Greece during the 1950s and 1960s. The second part of the study reveals anti-Americanism to be largely the result of failed post-war Greek territorial ambitions - particularly the frustration of the Enosis claim - rather than the actual intervention of the United States in Greek affairs. Drawing on a huge variety of sources including the Greek press, records of the Greek Parliament, the US and British National Archives, as well the archives of numerous individuals, this book provides a fascinating account of Greek political culture and national self image at a crucial time in the country's political development.

Stochastic Dynamic Response Analysis and Performance-Based Seismic Safety Evaluation for High Concrete Faced Rockfill Dams by Bin Xu , Rui Pang
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 201 Pages | ISBN : 9819771978 | 53 MB
This book provides a complete probabilistic analysis method and a performance-based seismic safety evaluation for high concrete faced rockfill dam (CFRD). Combined with random sample generation and reliability analysis methods, the dynamic response characteristics and reliability level of CFRD under various random factors are comprehensively described. In Chapter 2, a random ground motion model based on spectral representation-random function and a high-dimensional random variable generation method based on GF- discrepancy are established. Combined with probability density evolution method (PDEM) and the random sample generation methods to verify its effectiveness and reliability for nonlinear complex geotechnical engineering. In Chapter 3, the dynamic response and probabilistic characteristics of high CFRD under random ground motion are revealed based on the elastoplastic analysis. A performance-based seismic safety evaluation method is established. In Chapter 4, the influence of material parameter randomness on dynamic response and seismic safety of high CFRD is studied from the perspective of stochastic dynamics and probability. In Chapter 5, the stochastic dynamic response and probability distribution of high CFRD under the coupled random action of ground motion and material parameters are systematically studied, and the performance-based seismic safety evaluation framework is improved. In Chapter 6, The stochastic dynamic response of 3D high CFRD is studied, and the failure performance index and performance level based on overstress volume ratio combined with overstress accumulation time are discussed. The performance-based seismic safety evaluation framework is further improved. In Chapter 7, combined with the finite element dynamic time-history analysis method considering the softening effect of rockfill, a performance-based seismic safety evaluation framework for dam slope stability of high CFRD under multiple random factors is systematically explored from the perspective of stochastic dynamics and probability. In Chapter 8, The performance indexes of seismic safety evaluation for high CFRDs are suggested and the corresponding performance level with probability assurance is put forward. The multi-seismic intensity - multi-performance target - failure probability performance relationship is established, and a performance-based seismic safety evaluation framework is initially formed. This book can be used as a reference for scholars studying random vibration and reliability analysis, as well as for scholars studying dam safety evaluation.

Marie-Louise Dilkes, "Strong in Will: Working for the American Embassy in Paris During the Nazi Occupation"
English | ISBN: 1636243789 | 2024 | 320 pages | EPUB | 1479 KB
"...worth reading for the civilian point of view on military events, including observations on the U.S. Army's return to France in 1944. It is also excellent background reading for those who want to know about wartime life in France." ―The Journal of America's Military Past

"September 1939 slipped into October quite silently as if it did not want to attract any notice. The atmosphere is tense with expectancy, ready for the critical times that lie ahead. Everyone is geared for eventualities with courage and the élan of high purpose. Members of the Embassy staff have received their orders to leave for different posts: Bordeaux for some, Nantes for others and for others the Château de Candé. Some of us volunteered to remain in Paris. I was one of them. Paris will be safe or as dangerous as any other place, perhaps safer as every effort will be made to protect the city with its priceless works of art and its beauty."
Marie-Louise Dilkes' astute observations of life in Paris during World War II are written from the unique perspective of the receptionist for the American Embassy. The Embassy was the first-or last-resort for many caught up in the chaos of war, and hers was the first face they would see as they walked through the grand doors.
She takes us from the conquest and occupation of Paris by German forces but includes the war-time journey of the American consulate in Paris from Paris to Lisbon to Lyon to Bern and back to Paris. She ends with the triumphant return of members of the American Embassy staff, after the Allies forced the German Army out of Paris, and the reestablishment of the American Embassy in Paris.

Sandra Oster, "Successful Grant Proposals in Science, Technology, and Medicine: A Guide to Writing the Narrative"
English | ISBN: 110703809X | 2015 | 387 pages | PDF | 18 MB
There are many resources on grant writing in science, technology and medicine, but most do not provide the practical advice needed to write the narratives of grant proposals. Designed to help novice and experienced investigators write compelling narratives and acquire research funding, this is a detailed guide to the content, organisation, layout, phrasing, and scientific argumentation of narratives. The authors draw on more than twenty years of research and analysis of grant proposals, having worked extensively with investigators at different levels, from pre-doctoral students to senior scientists. They have used this experience to design a framework for scientific writing that you can apply directly to narratives. The guidelines and advice offered are applicable across many funding agencies, including the NIH and NSF. Featuring many real-life examples, the book covers a range of topics, from organisational alternatives to best practices in grammar and editing, overview visuals, and working with contributors.

Suche nach Sicherheit: Israel und der Friedensprozeß in Nahost By Pedi D. Lehmann (auth.)
2001 | 317 Pages | ISBN: 3810031550 | PDF | 8 MB
Das Buch behandelt den Positionswandel in der israelischen Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik im Rahmen des Friedensprozesses im Nahen Osten. Es untersucht die Faktoren, die zum Wandel in der israelischen Position bis zu den entscheidenden israelisch-palästinensischen Geheimverhandlungen von Oslo im Jahr 1993 geführt haben und jene, die Fortschritten in den Verhandlungen mit den arabischen Konfliktbeteiligten im Wege standen. Im Zentrum der Untersuchung liegt die Frage, wie und warum es nach Jahrzehnten wechselseitiger offener Feindschaft und gegenseitiger Nichtanerkennung der Existenz, seit 1992 zur Kooperation in den israelisch-arabischen Beziehungen und zu Übereinkommen auf der Basis der Formel "Land für Frieden" gekommen ist. Das Buch spricht einen weiten Leserkreis an. Es ist für Politologen ebenso relevant wie für Diplomaten, Journalisten und all jene politisch Interessierten, die die Bemühungen um eine Friedensregelung in der Region verfolgen.

Walter Boston Stitt Jr., "Surviving Three Shermans: With the 3rd Armored Division into the Battle of the Bulge: What I Didn't Tell Mother About My"
English | ISBN: 1636244289 | 2024 | 206 pages | EPUB | 13 MB
"A WWII soldier's rosy letters home are juxtaposed with his recollections of combat's harrowing on-the-ground reality in this immersive debut memoir...With its unique vantage point, this is a noteworthy addition to the literature of WWII." ― ✅Publishers Weekly

In 1943, eighteen-year-old Walter Stitt enlisted in the U.S. Army, ready to serve his country. From his time in basic training at Fort Polk in Louisiana, throughout his time as a tank gunner in the 33rd Armored Regiment, to his post-injury service in England, he wrote home to the family he had left at home.
Unbeknown to him, his mother carefully numbered and saved the letters, treasuring them until her death. This book brings together the very different two versions of Walter's war: the version that a teenage soldier could reveal to his parents and younger siblings without scaring them or invoking the censor's pen, and the full and often terrifying details of serving as a tank loader and gunner in France, Belgium and Germany, remembered so clearly eighty years later. Walter explains the forced omissions and partial truths his teenage self offered to comfort his family while he survived the destruction of three Sherman tanks, the death of three crew members, and two wounds.
Coming from West Virginia, Walter's Appalachian roots and values are apparent through the memories he held dear as a soldier and the values he clung to while fighting in one of the darkest periods of human history. His memoir recounts his experiences of serving during World War II while honoring those who served and made the ultimate sacrifice.
