Описание: The concept of a legionary fortress as a permanent structure dates from the reign of Augustus (27 BC-AD 14). It is only from that time that we find a standing army distributed around the empire, and their permanent fortresses developed from the temporary field fortifications of the legions on campaign. This book describes the development, design and construction of these fortresses throughout the length and breadth of the Empire.
It also deals extensively with the experience of life within a typical fortress and covers the operational history of these fortifications, including the famous siege of Vetera in AD 69.
Aerial bombardment remains important to military strategy, but the norms governing bombing and the harm it imposes on civilians have evolved. The past century has seen everything from deliberate attacks against rebellious villagers by Italian and British colonial forces in the Middle East to scrupulous efforts to avoid "collateral damage" in the counterinsurgency and antiterrorist wars of today. The American Way of Bombing brings together prominent military historians, practitioners, civilian and military legal experts, political scientists, philosophers, and anthropologists to explore the evolution of ethical and legal norms governing air warfare.
Focusing primarily on the United States—as the world’s preeminent military power and the one most frequently engaged in air warfare, its practice has influenced normative change in this domain, and will continue to do so—the authors address such topics as firebombing of cities during World War II; the atomic attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki; the deployment of airpower in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya; and the use of unmanned drones for surveillance and attacks on suspected terrorists in Pakistan, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, and elsewhere.

Описание: Looking for a Scare? Then Read These 15 Spine-chilling StoriesThe idea of a haunted castle isn't too foreign to most of us. After all, old castles undoubtedly saw many deaths, unjust executions, tortures, broken hearts, and violence in general. Even the most stunning and awe-inspiring castles can hide the darkest secrets, filled with spirits refusing to let those secrets die. From ghosts re-enacting their own executions to ever-present blood stains and playful phantom children, you will read chilling accounts of true hauntings in castles across the world. Ireland, New Zealand, Canada, Austria, the Czech Republic, and more are the homes of castles whose astounding history and unusual architecture are shadowed only by their reputation for paranormal phenomenon and restless ghosts. Consider the imposing Houska Castle, the site of secretive Nazi experiments in physics and the paranormal, which was built hundreds of years ago to keep evil inside rather than invaders out like most castles. The notorious Tower of London has its share of unruly spirits, including a massive bear that nearly scared a security guard to death. Those are just some of the frightening true stories within this book as you learn about the world's most haunted castles. You will discover a man dragged down a dungeon hallway still inhabited by the ghost of an evil torturer. You may laugh about how many ghostly photobombers enjoy showing up in tourists' pictures or gasp at the account of a headless drummer boy who suddenly disappears. Consider awakening in the middle of the night surrounded by a group of Druid-like monks. Think of how terrified you would be to encounter a suit of armor that let out a blood-curdling, pain-riddled scream. Ponder viewing security footage displaying a heavy door flinging wide open only seconds before a massive, hooded figure appears. If you find these types of stories fascinating and creepy, this is the book for you. Ready to scare yourself senseless? Scroll to the top of the page and hit buy
Описание: This timely volume seeks to examine two of the most pertinent current challenges faced by asylum seekers in gaining access to international refugee protection: first, the obstacles to physical access to territory and, second, the barriers to accessing a quality asylum procedure – which the editors have termed ‘access to asylum justice’. To address these aims, the book brings together leading commentators from a range of backgrounds, including law, sociology and political science. It also includes contributions from NGO practitioners. This allows the collection to offer interdisciplinary analysis and to incorporate both theoretical and practical perspectives on questions of immense contemporary significance. While the examination offers a strong focus on European legal and policy developments, the book also addresses the issues in different regions (Europe, North America, the Middle East, Africa and Australia). Given the currency of the questions under debate, this book will be essential reading for all scholars in the field of asylum law.
Описание: For nearly a thousand years, the Saxon settlers from the Rhine valley played a vital role in the history of Transylvania until their diaspora in the second half of the twentieth century. Fortresses of Faith focuses on their magnificent architectural legacy - the fortress-churches or kirchenburgen of the Seibenburgen. After a comprehensive introduction covering history, architecture, and decor, the author takes us on an enthralling photographic tour, helpfully arranged for travelers into the areas surrounding Sibiu, Media?, Sighi?oara, and Bra?ov. Alan Ogden’s black and white photographs poignantly capture the moody images of these “stone war-horses of Christendom,” many of which are now without congregations and prey to the dilapidation of time. It is a superb photographic record with a broad appeal to overseas descendants of Transylvanian Saxons, tourists, and students of Romanian history. Alan Ogden, received enthusiastic support from historians in Germany and Romania, who shared his vision of sounding the alarm about the uncertain future of this forgotten heritage of Christian Europe. He is the author of Romania Revisited: On the Trail of English Travellers, 1602-1941, published by the Center for Romanian Studies.

Описание: Craig Larman again delivers a clear path for students to learn object-oriented analysis and design through his clear and precise writing style. Larman teaches newcomers to OOA/D learn how to "think in objects" by presenting three iterations of a single, cohesive case study, incrementally introducing the requirements and OOA/D activities, principles, and patterns that are most critical to success.
