Описание: Is there a 'Western way of war' which pursues battles of annihilation and single-minded military victory? Is warfare on a path to ever greater destructive force? This magisterial account answers these questions by tracing the history of Western thinking about strategy - the employment of military force as a political instrument - from antiquity to the present day. Assessing sources from Vegetius to contemporary America, and with a particular focus on strategy since the Napoleonic Wars, Beatrice Heuser explores the evolution of strategic thought, the social institutions, norms and patterns of behaviour within which it operates, the policies that guide it and the cultures that influence it. Ranging across technology and warfare, total warfare and small wars as well as land, sea, air and nuclear warfare, she demonstrates that warfare and strategic thinking have fluctuated wildly in their aims, intensity, limitations and excesses over the past two millennia.

Описание: Shows how national strategies to warfare are culturally determined. These ideas have gained acceptance among historians but remain controversial for political scientists, as political scientists have focused on strategic culture and historians on ways of war. This work helps both audiences and provides them with each others ideas.

Описание: This work uses various model frameworks to study the evolution of equilibria in an open loop evolving economy in which the model characteristics evolve without any directional restrictions except for continuity. Applying mathematical methods, it is shown that equilibria can always be adapted in a piecewise gradual, non bang-bang way. Furthermore, the analysis provides a complete characterization of the structure of the equilibrium price set of evolving exchange economies. The results allow to derive policy implications for a gradual, frictionless tuning of equilibrium values for open loop evolving economies. The analysis is innovative in both its approach and its results. It contributes to bridging the gap between the traditional static, closed loop, dynamic equilibrium approach and the idea of open loop evolution which has become an attractive concept in economics in recent years.

Описание: This book provides the first comprehensive review of the history of tropical rainforests on a long-term geological time scale, beginning with the origin of the angiosperms over 100 million years ago, which today overwhelmingly dominate these forests. Rainforests are reviewed on a continent-by-continent basis, culminating with a global synthesis of their history in relation to the changing positions of the world's tectonic plates and changing climates. The book establishes the age of the great tropical rainforest blocks and compares 20Th-century rainforest destruction with prehistoric forest clearance in temperate regions.

Описание: This book explores the contributions of Italian Americans employed by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II. Italian Americans fluent in Italian language and customs became integral parts of intelligence operations working behind enemy lines. These units obtained priceless military information that significantly helped defeat the Axis. They parachuted into frozen mountains tops to link up with Italian guerilla units in northern Italy or hovered in small patrol torpedo boats and row boats across the Mediterranean Sea in pitch black darkness to destroy railroad junctions.
Описание: Contains Eva Jospe`s Moses Mendelssohn: Selections from His Writings, together with an article dealing with Mendelssohn`s enduring significance. As Raphael Jospe observes in his introduction to the volume, despite the welcome growth in recent years in the availability of English translations of Mendelssohn`s works, Eva Jospe`s Selections remain valuable for their clarity, for the logic of their organisation, and for the important insight they provide into Mendelssohn`s personality and convictions.
Описание: The sixteenth-century monk Filofei proclaimed Moscow the Third Rome. By the 1930s, intellectuals and artists all over the world thought of Moscow as a mecca of secular enlightenment. This book shows how Soviet officials and intellectuals sought to establish their capital as the Fourth Rome - a cosmopolitan post-Christian beacon for the world.
Описание: Compared to other animals, the way humans live - our manners, morals, habits, experiences, relationships, technology, values - changes at a bewildering speed. Why is this? Felipe Fernandez-Armesto offers some revolutionary answers to this fundamental question about our species - and speculates on what they mean for our future.

Описание: During the first two-thirds of the 20th century the themes of sectorial structure and compared performance prevail in Italian economic historiography. In contrast, in the last part of the century attention is focused on the behavior of single economic actors and their micro-economic strategies. This book intends to act as a bridge between the two approaches, and reconstructs the secular journey of Italian industrial enterprise through an original study.
