The Theory and Practice of British Tank Warfare on the Western Front during the First World War - Brynley Hammond - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd -

The Theory and Practice of British Tank Warfare on the Western Front during the First World War - Brynley Hammond - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd -

The image of a tank crawling across a shell-cratered battlefield remains one of the iconic representations of the Great War. Yet, despite the huge amount of attention tanks received - both at the time and from later historians - fierce debate continues to rage regarding their actual impact on the war. Neither contemporaries nor historians agree on whether the British army every really understood the potential of this new weapon and how best to integrate it into the wider army. Focusing on operations planned and executed during the war, this study challenges perceptions of senior commanders of the British Expeditionary Force as unimaginative and unresponsive to technological innovation. Instead, it demonstrates how they employed a continuous cycle of operational analysis and evaluation to create, revise and refine theories of tank co-operation with other arms. Indeed, field commanders were often enthusiastic supporters of the tank, and several attempted innovative offensive operations using them. However, without prior knowledge of the combat performance of such new technology, it was inevitable that much trial and error would be involved in finding the strengths and weaknesses of these vehicles. Whilst accepting that more could perhaps have been done before 1918 to facilitate the tank''s integration into the British forces, Dr Hammond clearly demonstrates that the extreme conditions under which tank crews worked and the technological limitations of the early tanks posed severe constraints on the development of a workable ''tank doctrine''. Nevertheless, by the end of the war, tanks were established as a permanent and essential element of the British Army.

Ancient Ink - - Bog - University of Washington Press - Plusbog.dk

The human desire to adorn the body is universal and timeless. While specific forms of body decoration and the motivations for them vary by region, culture, and era, all human societies have engaged in practices designed to augment and enhance people’s natural appearance. Tattooing, the process of inserting pigment into the skin to create permanent designs and patterns, is one of the most widespread forms of body art and was practiced by ancient cultures throughout the world, with tattoos appearing on human mummies by 3200 BCE. Ancient Ink , the first book dedicated to the archaeological study of tattooing, presents new, globe-spanning research examining tattooed human remains, tattoo tools, and ancient art. Connecting ancient body art traditions to modern culture through Indigenous communities and the work of contemporary tattoo artists, the volume’s contributors reveal the antiquity, durability, and significance of body decoration, illuminating how different societies have used their skin to construct their identities.

Splattered Ink - Sarah E Whitney - Bog - University of Illinois Press - Plusbog.dk

Splattered Ink - Sarah E Whitney - Bog - University of Illinois Press - Plusbog.dk

In-depth and refreshingly readable, Splattered Ink is a bold analysis of postfeminist gothic, a literary genre that continues to jar readers, reject happy endings, and find powerful new ways to talk about violence against women. Sarah E. Whitney explores the genre's challenge to postfeminist assumptions of women's equality and empowerment. The authors she examines--Patricia Cornwell, Jodi Picoult, Susanna Moore, Sapphire, and Alice Sebold--construct narratives around socially invisible and physically broken protagonists who directly experience consequences of women's ongoing disempowerment. Their works ask readers to inhabit women's suffering and to face the uncomfortable, all-too-denied fact that today's women must navigate lives fraught with risk. Whitney's analysis places the authors within a female gothic tradition that has long given voice to women's fears of their own powerlessness. But she also reveals the paradox that allows the genre to powerfully critique postfeminism's often sunshiney outlook while uneasily coexisting within the same universe.

Forward Engagement: Rsis As A Think Tank Of International Studies And Security In The Asia-pacific - - Bog - World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd -

In many ways, the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) is a microcosm of the Singapore brand of government. The DNA of Singapore's policymaking is its forward-looking nature. S. Rajaratnam's trademark is taking the long view while Lee Kuan Yew articulated his wish for leadership foresight and the admiration for 'helicopter quality' candidates in policymaking. This was how RSIS' mission began under the stewardship of the late President S. R. Nathan. RSIS began (as IDSS — i.e., the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies) in 1996 as a form of policymakers' clairvoyant on security matters. To date, it is Singapore's 'frontline' think tank on Asia-Pacific security, counter-terrorism, inter-religious dialogue and non-traditional security threats. The contributors in this edited volume, Forward Engagement: RSIS as a Think Tank of International Studies and Security in the Asia-Pacific, are the stalwarts of the RSIS mission for the past 20 years and the leading lights for the RSIS of the 21st century. These are their reflections for posterity as well as their forward projections for their quasi-diplomatic and intellectual roles in the service of Singapore's national security.

Ink, Stink Bait, Revenge, and Queen Elizabeth - Steven W. May - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

Ink, Stink Bait, Revenge, and Queen Elizabeth - Steven W. May - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

In Ink, Stink Bait, Revenge, and Queen Elizabeth , Steven W. May and Arthur F. Marotti present a recently discovered "household book" from sixteenth-century England. Its main scribe, John Hanson, was a yeoman who worked as a legal agent in rural Yorkshire. His book, a miscellaneous collection of documents that he found useful or interesting, is a rare example of a middle-class provincial anthology that contains, in addition to works from the country’s cultural center, items of local interest seldom or never disseminated nationally. Among the literary highlights of the household book are unique copies of two ballads, whose original print versions have been lost, describing Queen Elizabeth’s procession through London after the victory over the Spanish Armada; two poems attributed to Elizabeth herself; and other verse by courtly writers copied from manuscript and print sources. Of local interest is the earliest-known copy of a 126-stanza ballad about a mid-fourteenth-century West Yorkshire feud between the Eland and Beaumont families. The manuscript’s utilitarian items include a verse calendar and poetic Decalogue, model legal documents, real estate records, recipes for inks and fish baits, and instructions for catching rabbits and birds. Hanson combined both professional and recreational interests in his manuscript, including material related to his legal work with wills and real estate transactions. As May and Marotti argue in their cultural and historical interpretation of the text, Hanson’s household book is especially valuable not only for the unusual texts it preserves but also for the ways in which it demonstrates the intersection of the local and national and of popular and elite cultures in early modern England.

Constitutional Conflicts in Contemporary Malaysia - Hp Lee - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Constitutional Conflicts in Contemporary Malaysia - Hp Lee - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

In this book, HP Lee explores how the separation of powers doctrine in Malaysia has been adversely affected by a number of major constitutional conflicts among the various important organs of government. The author first analyses the struggle by parliament for supremacy over the Malay Rulers or Sultans by expunging the need for the royal assent to the enactment of legislation and removing royal immunities. Lee then turns to the contemporary role of the Malay Rulers and the reasons for the perceived rejuvenation of these Malay Rulers. The book goes on to examine the series of controversies and scandals which have plagued the judiciary since the tumultuous judiciary crisis of 1988, and the efficacy of the reforms which have been introduced to restore public confidence in the judiciary. These conflicts and a number of statutory enactments are analysed to determine their impact on the state of constitutionalism in Malaysia. The book concludes with the author''s thoughts on the trajectory of constitutional development in Malaysia.
