Описание: The army of Frederick the Great of Prussia is generally known as an efficient fighting machine based on brutal and strict drill procedures that led to broken but fearless soldiers as well as glorious battle victories. In analysing the mentalities of the men who established Prussia's great power status, Prussian Army Soldiers and the Seven Years’ War fundamentally challenges this interpretation.
Drawing on a vast array of primary sources (including the writing of regimental chaplain Kuster, who could probably be called the first modern military psychologist) and presenting the first English translation of 12 letters of common Prussian soldiers from the Seven Years’ War, this book shows that the soldiers were feeling individuals. They were loving husbands, vulnerable little brothers, deeply religious preachers, and sometimes even bold adventurers. All these individuals, however, were united by one idea which made them fight efficiently: honour.
In Prussian Army Soldiers and the Seven Years' War, the different elements of the Prussian soldiers’ concept of such honour are expertly analysed. The result is a nuanced, sophisticated, and much-needed psychological history of Frederick the Great's army.

Описание: Discover the buried secrets in Under the Roses, a charming 40-card Petit Lenormand deck. For each card an iconic image is presented with delicate, sepia- toned illustrations. In addition to the 36 standard cards, this deck includes alternate cards for the Child, the Gentleman, and the Lady.The 60-page booklet offers keyword summaries for each card., as well as instructions and diagrams for reading with the Lenormand method, guiding the reader through basic techniques, two-card combinations, spreads, tableaux, and advanced techniques.Under the Roses Lenormand was created by the mother-daughter team of Kendra Hurteau and her daughter Katrina Hill, a graphic designer and digital illustrator. Together they have produced four other Lenormand decks.From the booklet: "Under the Roses is a euphemism for buried secrets. The allusion comes from the Latin phraseSub Rosa, which dates back to classical Roman times when the rose became the symbol of confidentiality and secrets. The expression became well known in German literature, eventually finding its way to English literature in the nineteen century.The cards in the Petit Lenormand are used in combinations to extrapolate meanings and identify past, present, and future influences on your life. The Lenormand Deck is diverse; it can be used to address life's deep issues or for mundane inquiries. It's great for gatherings or parties, as well as individual readings.The origins of the Lenormand Oracle stem from the reputation of Mlle. Lenormand, an infamous card reader who died in 1843. The Petit Lenormand was named after her and published not long after her death.
Other-regarding preferences, hence appreciation of others’ welfare, are mainly culturally transmitted, whereby most of the development takes place in the sensitive period of childhood and adolescence. This work analyzes the development as well as possible influencing factors of other-regarding preferences during this period. To test the hypotheses derived from developmental and socialization aspects, the author conducts a survey measuring altruistic and cooperative preferences for German pupils. Results show that over the age span studied altruism and cooperation are increasingly important. Individual differences show none or only small relationship with measures of other-regarding preferences while differences in school environments are similarly important to age differences.

Описание: LONGLISTED FOR THE 2020 CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZEValkyries: the female supernatural beings that choose who dies and who lives on the battlefield. They protect some, but guide spears, arrows and sword blades into the bodies of others. Viking myths about valkyries attempt to elevate the banality of war - to make the pain and suffering, the lost limbs and deformities, the piles of lifeless bodies of young men, glorious and worthwhile.
Rather than their death being futile, it is their destiny and good fortune, determined by divine beings. The women in these stories take full part in the power struggles and upheavals in their communities, for better or worse. Drawing on the latest historical and archaeological evidence, Valkyrie introduces readers to the dramatic and fascinating texts recorded in medieval Iceland, a culture able to imagine women in all kinds of roles carrying power, not just in this world, but pulling the strings in the other-world, too.
In the process, this fascinating book uncovers the reality behind the myths and legends to reveal the dynamic, diverse lives of Viking women.
