The Viking Wars of Alfred the Great (Campaign Chronicles)

The Viking Wars of Alfred the Great (Campaign Chronicles) by Paul Hill, Christopher Summerville
English | September 18, 2008 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B00AE7DI30 | 244 pages | EPUB | 2.90 Mb
"Remarkably comprehensive... a superb account of a man whose contribution to the political, legal and military legacy of England cannot be understated." -The Pegasus Archive

In the spring of 878 at the Battle of Edington the tide of English history turned. Alfred's decisive defeat of Guthrum the Dane freed much of the south and west of England from Danish control and brought to a halt Guthrum's assault on Alfred's Wessex. The battle was the culmination of a long period of preparation by Alfred in the wilderness-a victory snatched from the jaws of catastrophic defeat. As such, this momentous turning point around which an entire nation's future pivoted, has given rise to legends and misconceptions that persist to the present day.
Paul Hill, in this stimulating and meticulously researched study, brings together the evidence of the medieval chronicles and the latest historical and archaeological research to follow the struggle as it swung across southern England in the ninth century. He dispels the myths that have grown up around this critical period in English history, and he looks at Alfred's war against the Vikings with modern eyes.
"This book focuses on Alfred's military campaigns against the Vikings and the strategies he used to defend his kingdom and ultimately defeat his enemies. It also looks at the broader historical context of the Viking invasions and their impact on England." -Medieval Chronicles

The Walls Have Eyes Surviving Migration in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

The Walls Have Eyes: Surviving Migration in the Age of Artificial Intelligence by Petra Molnar
English | May 21, 2024 | ISBN: 1620978369 | 304 pages | PDF | 7.31 Mb
With a forewordby E. Tendayi Achiume

A chilling exposé of the inhumane and lucrative sharpening of borders around the globe through experimental surveillance technology
In 2022, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced it was training "robot dogs" to help secure the U.S.-Mexico border against migrants. Four-legged machines equipped with cameras and sensors would join a network of drones and automated surveillance towers-nicknamed the "smart wall." This is part of a worldwide trend: as more people are displaced by war, economic instability, and a warming planet, more countries are turning to AI-driven technology to "manage" the influx.
Based on years of researching borderlands across the world, lawyer and anthropologist Petra Molnar'sThe Walls Have Eyesis a truly global story-a dystopian vision turned reality, where your body is your passport and matters of life and death are determined by algorithm. Examining how technology is being deployed by governments on the world's most vulnerable with little regulation, Molnar also shows us how borders are now big business, with defense contractors and tech start-ups alike scrambling to capture this highly profitable market.
With a foreword by former UN Special Rapporteur E. Tendayi Achiume,The Walls Have Eyesreveals the profound human stakes of the sharpening of borders around the globe, foregrounding the stories of people on the move and the daring forms of resistance that have emerged against the hubris and cruelty of those seeking to use technology to turn human beings into problems to be solved.

THE WAR BELOW AS HEARD ON BBC RA

THE WAR BELOW: AS HEARD ON BBC RA by Ernest Scheyder
English | January 1, 2024 | ISBN: 1804186341 | 371 pages | PDF | 3.08 Mb
Acclaimed Reuters reporter Ernest Scheyder reveals the trillion-dollar battle for the resources to power our future.

Tough choices loom if the world wants to go green. The United States and other countries must decide where and how to procure the materials that make our renewable energy economy possible. To build electric vehicles, solar panels, cell phones, and millions of other devices means the world must dig more mines to extract lithium, copper, cobalt, rare earths, and nickel. But mines are deeply unpopular, even as they have a role to play in fighting climate change. These tensions have sparked a worldwide reckoning over the sourcing of these critical minerals, and no one understands the complexities of these issues better than Ernest Scheyder, whose exclusive access has allowed him to report from the front lines on the key players in this global battle to power our future.
This is not a story of tree-hugging activists, but rather of industry titans, scientists, and policymakers jostling over how best to save the planet. Scheyder explores how a proposed lithium mine in Nevada would help global automakers slash their dependance on fossil fuels, but developing that mine could cause the extinction of a flower found nowhere else on the planet. A hedge fund manager's attempt to resuscitate rare earths mining in California relies on Chinese expertise, exposing the paradox in Washington's quest for minerals independence. The fight to end child labor in Africa's mining sector is a key reason, supporters contend, to dig out a vast reserve of cobalt and nickel under Minnesota's vulnerable wetlands. An international mining conglomerate's plan to extract copper for electric vehicles deep beneath Arizona's desert would destroy a Native American holy site, fueling tough questions about what matters more.
In The War Below , Scheyder crafts a business story that matters to everyone. If China continues to dominate production of these critical minerals, it will have a profound impact on the geopolitical order. Beyond China, countries such as Bolivia, Indonesia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo aim to wield their vast reserves of key minerals. There are no easy answers when it comes to energy. Scheyder paints a powerfully honest and nuanced picture of what is needed to fight climate change and secure energy independence, revealing how America and the rest of the world's hunt for the "new oil" directly affects us all.

The War for Ukraine Strategy and Adaptation Under Fire

Mick Ryan, "The War for Ukraine: Strategy and Adaptation Under Fire"
English | ISBN: 1682479528 | 2024 | 360 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
The Russo-Ukraine War is a vital learning opportunity for military strategists across the globe. The first and clearest lesson to be gleaned from it is this: the soundness of a military's strategy and the nimbleness with which it can adapt to unforeseen circumstances are the two most important factors in deciding victory or defeat. The War for Ukraine analyzes the war through these twin lenses of strategy and adaptation, detailing how each army has succeeded or failed to plan for and adapt to this twenty-first century war.

Author Mick Ryan examines the foundations of Ukrainian and Russian strategy for their ongoing war, looking back over several decades to reveal how both sides have evolved their military strategy and force structure. Each has undertaken institutional-level reforms of their military and national security enterprises in the decade leading up to this war. But because the emergent behavior of military forces after fighting begins cannot be fully predicted, these prewar reforms only constitute a starting point for adaptation during the war. Part I of the book covers the role of strategic leadership, with a focus on evolution of strategy since February 2022. From there, the second part of the book delves into how the Ukrainians and Russians have adapted their tactics, organizations, operational approaches, and strategic foundations for war-making throughout the conflict.

The Water of Life A Treatise on Urine Therapy

J.W. Armstrong, "The Water of Life: A Treatise on Urine Therapy"
English | ISBN: 0091906601 | 2005 | 144 pages | EPUB | 204 KB
In this revolutionary treatise, J.W. Armstrong puts the compelling case that all diseases (except those caused by traumatism or structural disorders) can be cured by one simple means. The therapy is an entirely drugless system of healing that treats the body as a whole. Moreover, the only ingredient needed is a substance manufactured in the body itself, rich in mineral salts, hormones and other vital substances, namely human urine. It may seem strange to take back into the body something that the body is apparently discarding. Yet the theory is similar to the natural practice of organic composting. Fallen leaves, when dug back into the soil, provide valuable mineral salts to nourish new plant life. The same principle holds true for the human body.

The Wisdom Found in Hen's Teeth

The Wisdom Found in Hen's Teeth by Jules Torti
English | February 17, 2023 | ISBN: 199077010X | True EPUB | 196 pages | 0.3 MB
When it comes to all things rare, strange and peculiar, there's one common denominator: Jules Torti. In this, her fourth book, she explores sensory heritage, the birthday paradox, broken heart syndrome, superstitions, signs, kooky diets, ylang ylang and falling airplane parts statistics.

Life lessons learned from a wayward racing pigeon named Marge and a gull that stole her egg salad sandwich at the beach make sound sense in a book that includes everything from lost wedding rings to Belinda Carlisle lyrics to the fine print on insurance coverage for suborbital flights.
If you've ever wondered about prosthetic wings for butterflies, Bill Murray (in general), star-nosed moles and lucky rabbit foot charms, Torti places these topics under a microscope (though she hasn't used one since elementary school). In the moving spirit of My Octopus Teacher, Torti discovers she has many teachers, including, possibly, a local beaver.
Readers will be enlightened on the meandering path from balloon animals to wax museums to Gwyneth Paltrow's vagina-scented candle line. It's an irresistible ecosystem of unusual things and events that prove that rare moments are not as rare as you are led to believe. Insert a collection of shared stories from Torti's circle that includes lottery winners, lightning strikes, bizarre accidents involving port-a-potties, dishwashers and a cow. Who has friends who have been bitten by a beaver, mongoose and scorpion (not all at once)? Maybe you're nodding along and realizing that nothing is as rare as rocking horse manure anymore.
Even Oprah makes an appearance.
If you know of a kid who only ate white things or owned a 6-toed cat or gave a foot massage to a 6-toed person, well, you'll relate. The Wisdom Found in Hen's Teeth is an engaging romp through a magnified world that includes volunteer turtle taxi drivers, competitive hot dog eaters, storm chasers, paranormal societies and white-lipped snails.
It's Seth Rogan's Yearbook meets Jeremy Clarkson's signature salt and vinegary-ness with a little Shirley MacLaine woo-woo thrown in for good measure. If you like to take a walk on the wild side, one that involves rescuing snails from the road after the rain and pickling possums for posterity, Jules Torti's latest will have you contemplating your own private Goa. You'll see. It's a cabinet of curiosities with the doors blown right off.

The words of war the civil war battle reportage of the New York Times and the Char...

The words of war: the civil war battle reportage of the New York Times and the Charleston Mercury and what the historians say really happened By Donagh Bracken
2007 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 1933909323 | EPUB | 8 MB
As the divided nation threw its sons into civil war, the home front demanded to know what was happening. Newspapers, North and South, responded by sending special war correspondents into the battlefront with the armies and navies of the Union and Confederacy. They reported what they saw and, in many instances, what they wanted to see. Thus was born American journalism as we know it today. In the North, The New York Times' correspondents accompanied the armies of Grant, Sherman, McClellan and other general officers and admirals in the Eastern and Western Theaters. The writings of Times correspondents Franc Wilkie, L.L.Crounse and many others set the structural standard for American war correspondence as we know it today. In the South, newspapers wrote with greater passion. Chief among the passion providers was the Charleston Mercury, the spark plug for Southern secession and the arch opposite of The New York Times. The writings of Robert Barnwell Rhett. Sr. and Jr. and George William Bagby writing as Hermes, brought a blood rush to their readers as they bore their witness to the Civil War. Placed in juxtaposition, the two newspapers capture not only the flavor of the time but also the fever of war. The modern reader can see, as each paper reports the same battle, how political belief alters the view of reality.

The World Health Organization Achievements and Failures

Yves Beigbeder, "The World Health Organization: Achievements and Failures"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 0367667495, 1472480856 | EPUB | pages: 200 | 0.7 mb
The World Health Organization (WHO) is undergoing a crisis of credibility and challenge. Having been subjected to a severe financial crisis and criticisms of its management of pandemics such as the H1N1 flu case and the outbreak of Ebola, with a new Director-General at its helm, it is an ideal time to review the WHO's past and current achievements including on-going operations and reported failures. Whilst time is given to recurrent attacks on WHO performance, it is balanced by also highlighting the WHO's leadership, its member states, and its influence on other actors, NGOs and business. As such, this study reviews the WHO's actions in the most visible programmes such as SARS, H1N1, Ebola and also smallpox, malaria, onchocerciasis, polio and AIDS. The author also discusses the desirable balance between operational and normative functions and proposals for reform of the Organization.

Theology and the Anthropology of Christian Life

Joel Robbins, "Theology and the Anthropology of Christian Life"
English | ISBN: 0198845049 | 2020 | 206 pages | PDF | 1322 KB
bAnthropological theory can radically transform our understanding of human experience and offer theologians an introduction to the interdisciplinary nature between anthropology and Christianity./b

Both sociocultural anthropology and theology have made fundamental contributions to our understanding of human experience and the place of humanity in the world. But can these two disciplines, despite the radical differences that separate them, work together to transform their thinking on these topics? Robbins argues that they can. To make this point, he draws on key theological discussions of atonement, eschatology, interruption, passivity, and judgement to rethink important anthropological debates about such topics as ethical life, radical change, the ways people live in time, agency, gift giving, and the nature of humanity. The result is both a major reconsideration of important aspects of anthropological theory through theological categories and a series of careful readings of influential theologians such as Moltmann, Pannenberg, Jüngel, and Dalferth informed by rich ethnographic accounts of the lives of Christians from around the world. In conclusion, Robbins draws on contemporary discussions of secularism to interrogate the secular foundations of anthropology and suggests that the differences between anthropology and theology surrounding this topic can provide a foundation for transformative dialogue between them, rather than being an obstacle to it. Written as a work of interdisciplinary anthropological theorizing, this book also offers theologians an introduction to some of the most important ground covered by burgeoning field of the anthropology of Christianity while guiding anthropologists into core areas of theological discussion. Although theoretically ambitious, the book is clearly argued throughout and written to be accessible to all readers in the social sciences, theology, and religious studies interested in the place of religion in social life and human experience.

Theorien der Public Relations Grundlagen und Perspektiven der PR-Forschung

Theorien der Public Relations: Grundlagen und Perspektiven der PR-Forschung By Ulrike Röttger (auth.), Ulrike Röttger (eds.)
2004 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 3531140442 | PDF | 12 MB
Was ist PR? Wer braucht PR? Abstrakte Interpretationen, die diese Fragen beantworten und die die Funktionen und Leistungen des Kommunikationsmanagements beschreiben und erklären könnten, liegen bislang nur fragmentarisch vor. Zwar existieren in unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen Befunde zu Public Relations, überwiegend stehen diese Erkenntnisse jedoch unverbunden nebeneinander und können für sich allein genommen PR immer nur partiell erfassen. Der Sammelband setzt bei den Defiziten der PR-Theoriebildung an: Neben einer kritischen Bilanz der aktuellen Theoriedebatte sollen alternative theoretische Bezugsrahmen vorgestellt und neue Wege zu PR-Theorien aufgezeigt werden.

Therapy Thieves How to Save Mental Health Care from Its Providers

Francis A. Martin, "Therapy Thieves: How to Save Mental Health Care from Its Providers"
English | ISBN: 0197516785 | 2020 | 312 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Acting on what started as a hunch, Dr. Francis Martin has cataloged well over 20,000 distinct approaches to counseling and psychotherapy that are advertised on the webpages of licensed, practicing mental health providers. No doubt some portion of them are harmful, but the sheer volume of advertised practices and techniques, often with names deceptively similar to actual evidence-based practices, should be cause for concern among all stakeholders in the helping professions - from educators and researchers to policy makers and insurance companies and, especially, consumers.

Based on this significant original study, and drawing from other research and supports, Therapy Thieves describes a near-universal crisis in the field and recommends ways to rescue mental health care from itself. The crisis is caused by declining competence among counselors and psychotherapists who have failed to regulate themselves and who, therefore, deliver inadequate - if not harmful - services. In presenting a simple, yet powerful indictment of the field, Dr. Martin advocates for major reforms in several areas of mental health care, including how prospective licensees are trained, supervised and licensed, a major reworking of professional ethics, and the need to establish regulations for mental health care providers. In short, the book calls for major, specific, and urgently needed reforms.

Thermal Biology Temperature Sensing and Temperature-Responding Systems

Thermal Biology: Temperature Sensing and Temperature-Responding Systems by Makoto Tominaga, Masahiro Takagi
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 263 Pages | ISBN : 9819745837 | 55.9 MB
This book concerns two subthemes, 'temperature sensing' and 'temperature-responding systems', addressing the questions of how temperature is sensed and how temperature is related to biological functions, respectively. Temperature affects various physiological functions and is one of the most important factors in homeostasis. The book seeks to integrate our understanding of temperature-dependent biological phenomena with the development of techniques that detect and regulate local temperatures in cells and organs with high resolution and precision.

Part I: "Temperature sensing" addresses temperature sensing mechanisms by focusing on plasma membrane molecules, intracellular molecules and intracellular metabolic pathways. This part seeks to develop ways to detect and regulate local temperatures at a cellular level, which would facilitate future temperature- sensing research.
Part II: "Temperature- responding systems" focuses on the neural circuits that integrate information concerning ambient temperature sensation, the effects of temperature on metabolic functions and biological rhythms, and mechanisms involved in emotion formation. This part clarifies crosstalk between temperature-responding systems by developing methods to detect and regulate local temperatures in organs.
Authors of this book are leading researchers investigating temperature-sensing mechanisms across a wide range of biological responses from molecular to whole organism levels. The book promotes an integrated understanding of temperature-dependent biological phenomena under a novel discipline, 'thermal biology', which leads to a novel concept wherein 'temperature' as a physical quantity could be viewed as an element of new signaling mechanisms.

This Earthly Globe A Venetian Geographer and the Quest to Map the World

This Earthly Globe: A Venetian Geographer and the Quest to Map the World by Andrea Di Robilant
English | June 18, 2024 | ISBN: 0307597075 | 272 pages | PDF | 26 Mb
From the author of the best-selling A Venetian Affair ("A narrative of novelistic resonance . . . Astonishing" -The Washington Post), the story of an Italian Renaissance book editor who introduced European minds to the wider world through his passion for geography

In the autumn of 1550, a thick volume containing a wealth of geographical information new to Europeans, with startling wood-cut maps of Africa, India and Indonesia, was published in Venice under the title Navigationi et Viaggi (Journeys and Navigations). The editor of this remarkable collection of travelogues, journals and classified government reports remained anonymous. Two additional volumes delivered the most accurate information on Asia and the "New World" available at the time. The three volumes together constituted an unparalleled release of geographical data into the public domain. It was, Andrea di Robilant writes, the biggest Wikileak of the Renaissance.
In This Earthly Globe, di Robilant brings to life the palace intrigues, editorial wheedling, delicate alliances and vibrant curiosity that resulted in this coup by the editor Giovambattista Ramusio. Learned and self-effacing, he gathered a vast array of both popular and closely guarded narratives, from the journals of Marco Polo (he fact-checked them!) to detailed reports on Northern African cultures from the Muslim scholar and diplomat al-Hasan ibn Mohammad al-Wazzan (later known as Leo Africanus). Diverse voices spill out from these chapters as di Robilant recounts how Ramusio pursued the sources, and how he understood both the darker episodes of "exploration" involving colonial violence and the voyage stories which included accounts of people from African and Asian lands, who had a great deal to share about their cultures. The result is a far-flung and delightful homage to one of the founding fathers of modern geography.

Thorns, Lust and Glory The betrayal of Anne Boleyn

Thorns, Lust and Glory: The betrayal of Anne Boleyn by Estelle Paranque
English | May 2nd, 2024 | ISBN: 1529149568 | 304 pages | True EPUB | 4.25 MB
A queen on the edge.

Anne Boleyn has mesmerised the English public for centuries. Her tragic execution, orchestrated by her own husband, never ceases to intrigue. How did this courtier's daughter become the queen of England, and what was it that really tore apart this illustrious marriage, making her the whore of England, an abandoned woman executed on the scaffold? While many stories of Anne Boleyn's downfall have been told, few have truly traced the origins of her tragic fate.
In Thorns, Lust and Glory, Estelle Paranque takes us back to where it all started: to France, where Anne learned the lessons that would set her on the path to becoming one of England's most infamous queens. At the court of the French king as a resourceful teenage girl, Anne's journey to infamy began, and this landmark biography explores the world that shaped her, and how these loyalties would leave her vulnerable, leading to her ruin at the court of Henry VIII.
A fascinating new perspective on Tudor history's most enduring story, Thorns, Lust and Glory is an unmissable account of a queen on the edge.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (Penguin Modern Classics) by John Le Carré
English | 27 Sept. 2018 | ISBN: 024132341X | True EPUB | 416 pages | 0.8 MB
'A stunning story' Wall Street Journal

A mole, implanted by Moscow Centre, has infiltrated the highest ranks of the British Intelligence Service, almost destroying it in the process. And so former spymaster George Smiley has been brought out of retirement in order to hunt down the traitor at the very heart of the Circus - even though it may be one of those closest to him.
The first part of le Carré's acclaimed Karla Trilogy, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy sees the beginning of the stealthy Cold War cat-and-mouse game between the taciturn, dogged Smiley and his wily Soviet counterpart.
'A great thriller, the best le Carré has written' Spectator

To After That

Renee Gladman, "To After That "
English | ISBN: 1948980258 | 2024 | 80 pages | EPUB | 715 KB
A warm-spirited elegy to an abandoned work, brilliantly comic and wryly contemplative, by one of the great artist-investigators of our time.

Originally published in 2008 in the groundbreaking Atelos series, To After That (TOAF) introduced a new kind of writing-somewhere between criticism and memoir and philosophy-that Renee Gladman has continued to explore in books like Calamities and My Lesbian Novel.
TOAF is a recuperative song, an effort to give space and life to an abandoned project, but it is also, itself, a beautiful meditation on process and distance and duration, and a reminder that time is the subject of any writing.

To the Limit The Meaning of Endurance from Mexico to the Himalayas

To the Limit: The Meaning of Endurance from Mexico to the Himalayas
by Michael Crawley
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1399403427 | 272 Pages | True ePUB | 0.42 MB

'A fascinating and multilayered exploration of what it means to endure'
Alex Hutchinson, author of Endure
The author of Out of Thin Air, winner of the Margaret Mead Award 2022, journeys through different cultures to find out the meaning of endurance.
So many of us are embracing endurance sports - whether it is running an ultra-marathon, taking on long-distance cycling events or even climbing Mount Everest. But what is it that makes us voluntarily do exhausting things? When we lace up our running shoes or jump on our bike, are we embracing freedom, or are we simply reproducing ideas about productivity and competition from the world of work? And what kinds of broader social and spiritual significance does endurance have indifferent parts of the world?
To the Limit sets out to rediscover the joy of moving together as a group - whether it's running the length of the Lake District in a day, or navigating the descents of the Sindhupalchok International Trail Race in Nepal. It shows us how endurance activities can help bring people together, and even change the way we think about the natural world and our place in it.
