Focusing on 1916, this work examines the actions of the principal commanders as they sought for a way to win the war and opted for the deadly notion of attrition: the notion that it was only possible to win by killing a vast quantity of soldiers. It points at the failure of high command to to realize that until new offensive technology was invented to overcome the current bias of defensive technology, the death toll could only rise.

War Of Attrition Dying Fetus - LP 781676670413

Against the background of the depletion of the industrial reserve army during the Vietnam War, Wars of Attrition explains how the complex interaction between the invisible hand of the labor market and the visible hands of large industrial customers, the Federal Government, and construction employer organizations inflicted a series of defeats on the building trades unions-the most entrenched segment of the labor movement in the United States-culminating in the vast expansion of the "union-free" sector of the construction industry. Based on thirty years of research, Wars of Attrition is the first study to have access to the archives of the Business Roundtable, which spearheaded and bankrolled the forces that carried out the first major successful deunionization campaign of the 1970s. MARC LINDER, who also wrote Projecting Capitalism: A History of the Internationalization of the Construction industry (Greenwood Press, 1994), is Professor of Law at the University of Iowa. Author of fifteen books on industrial relations, labor history, labor Law, economics, economic history, and legal history, he has also worked for Texas Rural Legal Aid representing migrant farm workers. His most recent book is "Moments Are the Elements of Profit" Overtime and the Deregulation of Working Hours Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (Fanpihua Press, 2000).

Non-fiction stories, societal oddities, and counter-culture observations; War of Attrition is a history book, of sorts, that begins in the early adolescence of writer Greg Walsh. Its contents have provoked the perspectives and passion behind well-known projects he has developed over the past two decades, including Hell on Earth, Coalition BMX, Wolf Brigade, and Theft of the Age. Hard lessons, flawed notions, and the "inciting incidents" that created him, artfully and forcefully narrated and illustrated in attempt to exorcise the least-cooperative demons. This collection shines a harsh-yet-heartfelt light into the deterioration of our human condition; Some monsters are real, certain stories simply don't have a silver lining, and not everything that doesn't kill us, makes us stronger... There are some curses that can be broken; The curse of awareness, is not among them.

This volume introduces the study of language attrition--the forgetting of language. In this first collection devoted to second language attrition, the contributors focus on contexts of loss where Japanese is either the attriting language, or the replacing language. Bringing together research to substantiate previous hypotheses in the field, this book offers new theoretical and practical insights for those interested in language change.

The war between Israel and Egypt from March 1969 to August 1970 was not merely a passing event in the course of the Arab-Israeli-wars, but rather a major confrontation distinguished both by its special type - a war of attrition - and by the direct military intervention of the Soviet Union. With documents, Middle Eastern newspaper accounts, transcripts of radio broad casts, and interviews with key decision makers, THE ISRAELI-EGYPTIAN WARE OF ATTRITION, 1969-1970 identifies the complex factors that affected the expansion and limitation of the war, the patterns of bargaining between Israel, Egypt, and the Super-Powers, and the substantial problems involved in terminating the war. Bar-Siman-Tov finds that the chief factors leading to the war's limitation and conclusion were the external political constraints placed upon Israel, and the limited military capability of Egypt. Grounded in the day-to-day events of the conflict, Bar-Siman-Tov's study is both a much needed reevaluation of the events of the war and a theoretical study of the nature of "limited local wars". Yaacov Bar-Siman-Tov (1946-2013) was a prominent international relations and conflict resolution scholar. He was the Giancarlo Elia Valori Professor of International Relations at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he held the "Chair for the Study of Peace and Regional Cooperation". He was also the Director of the "Swiss Center for Conflict Research, Management and Resolution" at the Hebrew University, and the Head of the Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies. A recipient of the Israeli Association for International Studies' Lifetime Achievement Award, Professor Bar-Siman-Tov was a noted expert in the fields of management and resolution of international conflicts; negotiation; decision-making; and the Arab Israeli conflict.

Volume 4 in Harpia Publishing's highly successful Arab MiGs series expands the history of the major Arab air forces that became involved in the wars with Israel during the period 1967 to 1973. It solves the intractable complexity of this violent period by dispassionately outlining the sequence of political and military events — in chronological and geographic order. The reader is systematically taken through Egyptian attempts to reconstruct its battered air force and expand its air defense capabilities, and then reestablish control of its airspace in spite of increasing and ever more aggressive Israeli attacks.The military support Israel received from the United States not only resulted in both sides developing, testing and employing ever more advanced methods of air warfare, but eventually provoked a Soviet military intervention, which marked the culmination of the period better known as the War of Attrition.The narrative continues with dramatic descriptions of the developments in Jordan, which culminated in a civil war in 1970, and with an exclusive insight into the previously unknown expansion of the Syrian air arm with extensive support from Czechoslovakia, in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The content is concluded with lesser known military events in Algeria, Morocco, Iraq and Libya, where a series of military coups resulted in developments that were to become critical not only for the future of the local air forces, but also well beyond the borders of those countries.

In this 1994 classic work on student retention, Vincent Tinto synthesizes far-ranging research on student attrition and on actions institutions can and should take to reduce it. The key to effective retention, Tinto demonstrates, is in a strong commitment to quality education and the building of a strong sense of inclusive educational and social community on campus. He applies his theory of student departure to the experiences of minority, adult, and graduate students, and to the situation facing commuting institutions and two-year colleges. Especially critical to Tinto’s model is the central importance of the classroom experience and the role of multiple college communities.

Does God really care about His servants? Yes! Do we care for our people who are serving the Lord in cross-cultural ministry? The Reducing Missionary Attrition Project (ReMAP), launched by World Evangelical Fellowship Missions Commission, seeks to answer that question in this important study. This book utilizes the findings of a 14-nation study done by ReMAP and will help supply some very encouraging answers.
