Описание:
The Roman shield, the scutum, was central to the Romans' conquest of the known world, and has become an emblem of the legions at the forefront of that effort. This new study draws on the latest research to reveal the history of this iconic equipment.
The introduction of the scutum in the 4th century BC revolutionized the way the Romans fought. Instead of being purely defensive, the shield became a weapon in its own right. Using the top edge or boss to punch an opponent, or the lower rim to smash down on their feet, it served to unbalance an enemy and allow the sword to do its work. The versatility of the scutum was characterized by the testudo, a formation the Romans used offensively like a pedestrian tank. Meanwhile, other shield types equipped the auxiliaries who fought alongside the legionaries. The curved, rectangular scutum survived into the 3rd century AD, only to be replaced by an oval, slightly domed shield derived from the oval shields of Early Imperial auxiliaries. Drawing together historical accounts, excavated artifacts, and the results of the latest scientific analyses of the boards and fittings, renowned authority M.C. Bishop reveals the development, technology, training, and use of the scutum and other Roman shield types.

Описание:
In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Russians from all ranks of society were bound together by a culture of honor. Here one of the foremost scholars of early modern Russia explores the intricate and highly stylized codes that made up this culture. Nancy Shields Kollmann describes how these codes were manipulated to construct identity and enforce social norms—and also to defend against insults, to pursue vendettas, and to unsettle communities. She offers evidence for a new view of the relationship of state and society in the Russian empire, and her richly comparative approach enhances knowledge of statebuilding in premodern Europe. By presenting Muscovite state and society in the context of medieval and early modern Europe, she exposes similarities that blur long-standing distinctions between Russian and European history.Through the prism of honor, Kollmann examines the interaction of the Russian state and its people in regulating social relations and defining an individual's rank. She finds vital information in a collection of transcripts of legal suits brought by elites and peasants alike to avenge insult to honor. The cases make clear the conservative role honor played in society as well as the ability of men and women to employ this body of ideas to address their relations with one another and with the state. Kollmann demonstrates that the grand princes—and later the tsars—tolerated a surprising degree of local autonomy throughout their rapidly expanding realm. Her work marks a stark contrast with traditional Russian historiography, which exaggerates the power of the state and downplays the volition of society.

Carl Bongirno, retired President of Walt Disney Imagineering: "It was a real pleasure working with Chuck for the last 10 years of my career with Disney."
When he was transferred from Disneyland to Walt Disney Imagineering as Vice President of Human Resources he hit the ground running. He headed up the team that hired 2500 employees and had to indoctrinate, integrate and assimilate all of them in a very short period of time. At the conclusion of major projects (EPCOT & Tokyo Disneyland) he and his team then successfully provided outplacement for all the employees who were laid off.
The Disney Apprentice is a book that once started is difficult to put down. I've just read it again and enjoyed it as much as I did the first time. If you are in business or deal with people on any level this book is mandatory for you to read. It is not only educational it is very entertaining.
The Disney Apprentice describes valuable and transferable lessons needed to create a customer and employee centric culture. Chuck Shields uses Disney's storytelling cultural examples, transferable lessons, Walt Disney quotes and his 22 years of experience in transferring the Disney foundations to a completely different industry. An exciting read from one of the early leaders of the Disney University and VP of HR and Administration for three unique Disney Divisions.

Описание: Ischemic stroke is the condition in which the blood supply to a part of the brain is decreased. This leads to dysfunction of the brain tissue in that area. It occurs due to embolism, thrombosis, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and systemic hypoperfusion. 30-40% of all ischemic strokes are cryptogenic in nature. Cocaine and methamphetamine users are at a higher risk of ischemic strokes. The primary symptoms of an ischemic stroke include impairments in movement, vision and speech, unconsciousness, blindness and weakness. Alteplase (tPA) is considered effective against acute ischemic stroke. The chief management strategies involve the maintenance of systemic blood pressure, avoidance of hypercapnia and hypoxemia, and prescription of anticonvulsants to prevent damage due to seizures. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as modern clinical aspects of ischemic stroke. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. It aims to equip students and experts with the advanced topics and upcoming concepts in this area.

Genocide PerspectivesVI grapples with two core themes: the personal toll of genocide, and processes that facilitate the crime. From political choices governments and leaders make, through to denialism and impunity, the crime of genocide recurs again and again, across the globe. At what cost to individuals and communities? What might the legacy of this criminality be? This collection of essays examines the personal sacrifice genocide takes from those who live through the trauma, and the generations that follow. Contributors speak to the way visual art and literature attempt to represent genocide, hoping to make sense of problematic histories while also offering a means of reflection after years of "slow violence" or silenced memories. Some authors generously allow us into their own histories, or contemplate how they may have experienced genocide had they been born in another time or place.
What facets contribute to the processes that lead to, or enable the crime of genocide? This collection explores those processes through a variety of case studies and lenses. How do nurses, whose role is inherently linked to care and compassion, become mass killers? How do restrictions on religious freedom play a role in advancing genocidal policies, and why do perpetrators of genocide often target religious leaders? Why is it so important for Australia and other nations with histories of colonial genocide to acknowledge their past? Among the essays published in this volume, we have the privilege and the sorrow of publishing the very last essay Professor Colin Tatz wrote before his passing in 2019. His contribution reveals, yet again, the enormous influence of both his research and his original ideas on genocide. He reflects on continuing legacies for Indigenous Australian communities, with whom he worked for many decades, and adds nuance to contemporary understanding of the Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust, two other cases to which he was deeply committed.
