La revolución más conocida en la reciente historia de las operaciones militares, nos vino dada en la década de los noventa por las "Operaciones de Paz", y el interés despertado no hizo más que aumentar cuando se empezó a hablar de una versión mejorada. Se trataba de las "Operaciones de Paz de segunda generación", fruto de la experiencia y de las enseñanzas adquiridas en el conflicto que tuvo lugar en la antigua Yugoslavia. Lejos del enfrentamiento asimétrico que hoy conocemos como terrorismo internacional, este libro, dieciséis años después de aquella experiencia en el llamado "avispero balcánico", conlleva un análisis retrospectivo y un balance definitivo de lo que allí supuso el logro de la estabilización y el alumbramiento de Bosnia Herzegovina como un nuevo país. Sin ubicación alguna en los géneros tradicionales de la literatura jurídica y política, su lenguaje, totalmente apto para los no iniciados en esta materia, ayudará a comprender la dinámica y e...

HIS DARK MATERIALS IS NOW AN HBO ORIGINAL SERIES STARRING DAFNE KEEN, RUTH WILSON, JAMES McAVOY, AND LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA! The only hardcover omnibus of the best-selling and award-winning fantasy trilogy. Philip Pullman's trilogy is a masterpiece that transcends genre and appeals to readers of all ages. His heroine, Lyra, is an orphan living in a parallel universe in which science, theology, and magic are entwined. The epic story that takes us through the three novels is not only a spellbinding adventure featuring armored polar bears, magical devices, witches, and daemons, it is also an audacious and profound reimagining of Milton's Paradise Lost that has already inspired a number of serious books of literary criticism. Like J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis before him, Pullman has invented a richly detailed and marvelously imagined world, complex and thought-provoking enough to enthrall adults as well as younger readers. An utterly entrancing blend of metaphysical speculation an...

La explosión destruyó las fabricas, las tiendas y los hogares y mato a 74.000 personas mientras que heria a otras 75.000. Las dos bombas atómicas señalaron el mal de una guerra global, pero para las decenas de miles de supervivientes fue el comienzo de una nueva vida marcada con el estigma de ser hibakusha (afectados por la bomba atómica). Susan Southard ha pasado una década entrevistando e investigando las vidas de los hibakusha, y las crudas y emotivas declaraciones de testigos oculares. Sus testimonios reconstruyen los días, meses y años posteriores al bombardeo, el aislamiento hospitalario y la recuperación, la dificultad de volver a entrar en la vida cotidiana y el perdurable impacto de haber sufrido un ataque nuclear y sus secuelas.

Curwensville, one of the oldest towns in Clearfield County, began as a lumber town. Some of the area's finest families made their fortunes by harvesting the tall pine trees that were used as ship masts. The Irvin and Patton families were instrumental in the development of the town, as they brought the railroad to the area and contributed to the schools, banks, and a water system. In the 20th century, industries such as brick making, stone quarries, and tanneries became vital to the community. Bringing to life an era when every settlement was a stop on the railroad route, Around Curwensville is an exciting collection of historic photographs from Curwensville and surrounding towns, including Clearfield, Grampian, and DuBois.

The modern era of competition law in New Zealand began with the Commerce Act 1986. Since then, a steady and impressive corpus of case law had traversed all the usual major areas of antitrust law: cartels, resale price maintenance, exclusive dealing, tying, group boycotts, monopolization, mergers and acquisitions, exempted sectors, and the role of economic evidence. This volume explains the rationale for the various major reforms, the ongoing contestation between the Harvard and Chicago Schools of antitrust, and traces the developments of key concepts over the last 34 years. This title also explores systemic issues such as how well has New Zealand moulded its own competition law whilst nonetheless selectively drawing upon the policies, case law, and wisdom of foreign jurisdictions; how effectively has it faced the challenge of adapting its fledgling competition law to the reality of being a small, deregulated, open, and distant economy; and how successful was the application of competi...

Focusing on the electronic media-television, radio, and the Internet-Audience Economics bridges a substantial gap in the literature by providing an integrated framework for understanding the various businesses involved in generating and selling audiences to advertisers. Philip M. Napoli presents original research in order to answer several key questions: * How are audiences manufactured, valued, and sold? * How do advertisers and media firms predict the behavior of audiences? * How has the process of measuring audiences evolved over time? * How and why do advertisers assign different values to segments of the media audience? * How does audience economics shape media content?

Culture is increasingly important to American social science, but in what way? This book addresses the core issues of the sociology of culture-questions about the social role of meaning, along with those about the methods sociologists use to study culture and society-in a manner that makes clear their relevance to sociology as a whole. Part I consists of essays by leading cultural sociologists on how the turn to culture has changed the sociological study of organizations, economic action, and television, and concludes with Georgina Born's methodological statement on the sociology of art and cultural production. Part II contains a highly original, and at times heated, debate between Richard Biernacki and John H. Evans on the appropriateness of abstract and quantifiable coding schemes for the sociological study of culture. Ranging from the philosophy of science to the concrete, practical problems of interpreting masses of cultural data, the debate raises the controversy over the inte...

To the true rail fan, Richard Steinheimer is an authentic hero, the best of the best. This, the first full-length celebration of his work, presents 160 of his duotone images, with an introduction by Jeff Brouws.
