Описание:
An updated edition of the definitive history of Scandinavia over the past five centuries
Despite certain distinctions and differences, the lands of Scandinavia, or Norden—Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Denmark, and the Faroe Islands—are united by bonds of culture, language, and geography, and by a shared history that comes richly to life in this landmark work. Now in an expanded, updated edition, this authoritative chronicle of five centuries of Scandinavian history incorporates the geopolitical developments and momentous events that have marked the Nordic world in recent decades.
Scandinavia since 1500 situates the region’s political history within the traditional European chronology—in which the long “modern” period is subdivided into the Renaissance, early modern, modern, and contemporary. Within this framework, Byron J. Nordstrom traces the various ways in which economic, social, and cultural ideas and practices have come to Scandinavia from abroad, only to be modified and recast in a uniquely Nordic character. Long-unquestioned national mythologies come under Nordstrom's scrutiny, along with historical blind spots and erasures, as he ranges from canonical figures like Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden and Christian IV of Denmark to the constitutions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the resistance movements in World War II, and the Scandinavian welfare states, literary culture, and modern design. Expanded to include the nature and realities of the increasingly postindustrial economies of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries—including environmental concerns, integration with Europe, globalization, and immigration—Scandinavia since 1500 offers a comprehensive yet nuanced portrait of this unique region in all its political, diplomatic, social, economic, and cultural complexity.

Описание: -Is binge eating a problem for you? -Are you obsessed about your body size and weight? -Do you waste endless hours daydreaming and planning for thinner days? -Do you spend a great deal of time and money creating a food experience, overeating, and suffering in the aftermath? These were just a few of my personal struggles with the food. Others included-lying about how much I had eaten, running out at all times of the night to replace food that I had ravished, running out at all times of the night to complete a binge, hating people who were thin and seemingly able to eat whatever they wished, sinking into still another deep depression because of my inability to keep my resolve not to overeat, losing confidence in my ability to do anything because I was so powerless over the food. Today, I can say with a deep, deep gratitude, that God has broken the stronghold of compulsive overeating. Besides maintaining a weight loss of over 70 pounds, God has kept me binge free and abstinent for over 21 years. He is teaching me to delight in Him. He is showing me that as I follow hard after Him, He alone brings both satisfaction and peace. If you have ever struggled with compulsive overeating, this book is written for you. The daily readings are designed to keep you out of denial and into recovery. There are questions to help you to dig deeper and space for you to journal. (This space might also be used to record your daily food plan and commitment.) Abstinence from compulsive overeating is a God given gift. Believe that it is available to you. Reach out today and claim your victory. Your sister in Christ Jesus, Pat N.

Описание: Geochemical Modeling for Mine Site Characterization and Remediation is the fourth of six volumes in the Management Technologies for Metal Mining Influenced Water series about technologies for management of metal mine and metallurgical process drainage. This handbook describes the important components of hydrogeochemical modeling for mine environments, primarily those mines where sulfi de minerals are present—metal mines and coal mines. It provides general guidelines on the strengths and limitations of geochemical modeling and an overview of its application to the hydrogeochemistry of both unmined mineralized sites and those contaminated from mineral extraction and mineral processing. The handbook includes an overview of the models behind the codes, explains vital geochemical computations, describes several modeling processes, provides a compilation of codes, and gives examples of their application, including both successes and failures. Hydrologic modeling is also included because mining contaminants most often migrate by surface water and groundwater transport, and contaminant concentrations are a function of water residence time as well as pathways. This is an indispensable resource for mine planners and engineers, environmental managers, land managers, consultants, researchers, government regulators, nongovernmental organizations, students, stakeholders, and anyone with an interest in mining influenced water. The other handbooks in the series are Basics of Metal Mining Influenced Water; Mitigation of Metal Mining Influenced Water; Mine Pit Lakes: Characteristics, Predictive Modeling, and Sustainability; Techniques for Predicting Metal Mining Influenced Water; and Sampling and Monitoring for the Mine Life Cycle.

Описание: In the museums of Urumchi, in Western China a collection of ancient mummies lay at the centre of an enormous mystery. Some of Urumchi`s mummies date back as far as 4,000 years - contemporaries of those in Egypt, but even more beautifully preserved, especially their clothing. Surprisingly, these prehistoric people were not Chinese but Caucasion, tall, large nosed and blonde with round eyes that were probably blue. Where did they come from and what were they doing in the foothills of the Himalayas?

Описание:
Situation Normal A.F.U.: A Flatfooted Soldier Tells All(SNAFU) is an hilarious autobiographical account of the Vietnam era. Readers might initially wonder why the need for yet another military memoir about these times., But they will find this account fresh and unique-there is an outstanding sense of irony and humor in the author's approach to the military. Nordstrom's tongue-in-cheek style lends an unexpected flavor to the events, often translating military challenges and experiences into a wry, satirical look at the Army's impact on its soldiers:
"There was another interesting thing I discovered about standing all the time. I heard somewhere that the horse and giraffe are the only animals that can sleep standing up. If that's true, I should be in the Guinness Book of Records, as I'm living proof that, given enough incentive, humans can do the same. . . . My aversion to standing for any length of time had another unintended, but positive, consequence; I found an occupation doing paperwork that also required an ability to dictate business letters, which doesn't hurt if you want to be a writer. . . . Thus, in a world searching for answers, I can recommend that everyone cultivate the arts of standing in line and sleep deprivation. Doing so will prepare them for any eventuality, from writing a novel to repelling an invasion."
The book navigates the author's fate, changing duties, and Academy training regimens. Readers receive a review of daily routines, military politics, the author's choices and decisions vital to his survival, and original methods of either beating or working with the system:
"Wanting to get ahead of the curve, I spent my meager savings on a spare set of boots, new fatigues, skivvies, and other articles that went into our wall and footlockers, and Instead, lived out of laundry bags which contained clean clothes. So, while other less prepared soldiers were busy spit shining the shoes they scuffed up during the day, I spent my time studying things like how to harass the troops (just kidding), fundamentals of leadership, radio communications, reading maps and using compasses (called orienting)." And despite nearly being kicked out of the Academy for fist-fighting (a recurrent problem), Nordstrom managed to graduate with honors.
The author highlights changing technology and Army approaches past and present, providing discussions which will prove thought-provoking to modern military participants as well as those who have never served. For example, while explaining why GPS has replaced the need for the survey training, SNAFU keeps the reader's attention by explaining how it is possible to be in two places at the same time
The author's ability to relate military protocols, incidents, accidents, ironies and interpersonal relationships via his wry and witty persona will appeal to military participants and their families as well as those who may have never seen an Army base or served in any branch of the military. And while some may criticize the lack of social commentary on the horrors of war, many will find this approach refreshing.
