Описание:
This illustrated guide to the medieval longsword draws on both period sources and the latest research to tell the full story of one of Europe's most iconic medieval weapons.
The formidable European longsword--featuring a double-edged straight blade in excess of 40in, and capable of being used with one or both hands--remains one of the most impressive and distinctive edged weapons of the late medieval era. Also known as the "bastard" sword and the "hand-and-a-half" sword, the longsword evolved from the war swords and great swords of the 14th century, and emerged as a battlefield weapon in the early stages of the Hundred Years' War. It went on to become a key weapon on the battlefields of late medieval Europe, creating a new system of sword fighting. Drawing together period sources, modern technical analysis, and his own experiences with the longsword, Neil Grant explores the origins, manufacture, and evolving use of this iconic late-medieval edged weapon. Illustrated throughout with specially commissioned full-color artwork and an array of period illustrations and close-up photographs, this is the enthralling story of one of late-medieval Europe's most distinctive and deadly close-combat weapons.

Patented in 1898 and produced from 1900, Georg Luger's iconic semi-automatic pistol became synonymous with Germany's armed forces throughout both world wars.
Initially chambered for the 7.65 21mm round, from 1902 the Luger was designed for DWM's 9 19mm round, which even today remains the most popular military handgun cartridge. It was adopted by the Imperial German Navy in 1904, followed by the German Army in 1908, receiving the name Pistole 08. Despite being supplanted by the Walther P38, the Luger remained in widespread service with all arms of Nazi Germany's armed forces throughout World War II, and even equipped East Germany's Volkpolizei in the years after 1945.
Featuring full-color artwork, expert analysis, and archive and present-day photographs, this engaging study tells the story of the Luger, the distinctive and deadly semi-automatic pistol that has come to symbolize Germany's armed forces in the 20th century.

Can the Evolving Gig Economy Extend to Corporate Leadership?
The modern business world is a place that values strategic focus and agility. Not only do people not expect to work thirty years for the same company and then retire-they'd feel stagnant and unfulfilled if they did that. Many of us think of the "gig economy" as something starving artists do, working several jobs to make ends meet. But the gig economy is actually a project-based, results-oriented model that can be extremely powerful at the leadership level of any company or organization. In top tiers of business, this type of leadership is an interim leader: an experienced senior executive engaged on a fixed-term contract with 100% focus on delivery, who is not distracted by internal career ambitions or organizational logistics. Interim leaders drive transformational change, and as such, are an increasingly sought-after resource. Rise of the Gig Leaders examines in detail the phenomenon of interim leadership, clearly explaining its benefits, implementation, and potential. Whether you're an experienced executive looking for a new challenge, or in charge of an organization that needs an infusion of vision and energy, this unique and fascinating book points the way to opportunities that can be transformative.

Описание:
Great Britain had introduced the tank to the world during World War I, and maintained its lead in armored warfare with the "Experimental Mechanized Force" during the late 1920s, watched with interest by German advocates of Blitzkrieg. Despite these successes, the Experimental Mechanised Force was disbanded in the 1930s, making Britain relatively unprepared for World War II, both in terms of armored doctrine and equipment.
This fully illustrated new study examines the men who crewed the tanks of Britain's armored force during World War II, which was only four battalions large in 1939. It looks at the recruitment and training of the vast numbers of men required, their equipment, appearance and combat experience in every theater of the war as the British armored division sought to catch up with the German Panzers.
