The ProMediaGear PLNZ9 L-Bracket allows for quick changes between portrait and landscape without the need for tripod head readjustment and re-composition. You simply release the bracket from your tripod head, flip it 90 degrees mounting it back into the tripod head.This L-Bracket is also compatible with Arca-Swiss type standards from all major manufacturers. So it does not matter which clamp do you use, as long as it is a standard Arca-clamp. Benefits or mounting on the vertical side facilitates a more stable platform than using the ball head alone to tilt 90 degrees, as the camera mounts directly over the center of the tripod apex.The PLNZ9 has been machined from solid Aluminum T6061 block and black anodized for the scratch-resistant finish. The main feature of this L-Bracket is its two-piece design; the vertical piece of the L-Bracket can be extended or removed, this allows for the use of just the base plate if desired.

This study examines educational development and progress during the pre-colonial days and how it naturally led to the establishment of Western education in Uganda. It also discusses how Ugandans have struggled to use Western education with some readjustments after 1962 to solve theireconomic, political and social problems. The desire for western education continues to grow. The book looks at the sympathetic response of government, and its efforts to formulate policies and theories to fulfill its pledge to provide elementary education for all young people.

Vinyl LP pressing. 2013 release from multi-instrumentalist Mauro Remiddi AKA Porcelain Raft. Remiddi began working on Permanent Signal at the end of 2012, two months after returning from tour. It became a period of readjustment in which he was beginning to enjoy everyday comforts and reconnecting with friends, yet the thoughts of unrealized conversations during his recent travels were still fresh in his mind. Inspired by this surreal moment of transition, where the reality of finally being home

This story marks the transition of a rural high school boy during World War II through basic training, torpedo School, submarine school and into submarine warfare in the Sea of Japan. It is a tale of war, as more than one submariner experienced it; it is a tale of readjustment to peace. It is a story of meeting the demons of war and coming to terms with them. But most of all, it takes us into the world -- the sights, smells and sounds of submarine warfare as it was actually experienced from inside a one-inch hull in the World War II Pacific Theater. One can smell the fear, see the planes with their bombs, hear the emergency klaxon's sound; feel the pounding of the depth charges and experience the muscle strain from pushing the torpedoes home. It is a documentary of great triumph, in which tragedy is not forgotten. It swelters in 129-degree heat and shivers in arctic winds. It is, then, manifestly, a book that one feels -- in the mind, heart, muscles and guts. It is the story, and the uncertainty, of the double cat and mouse game of war, in which at any moment, the mouse you chase may become the cat, and you his small prey.

A "blind spot" suggests an obstructed view, or partisan perception, or a localized lack of understanding. Just as the brain "reads" the "blind spot" of the visual field by a curious process of readjustment, Shakespearean drama disorients us with moments of unmastered and unmasterable knowledge, recasting the way we see, know and think about knowing. Focusing on such moments of apparent obscurity, this volume puts methods and motives of knowing under the spotlight, and responds both to inscribed acts of blind-sighting, and to the text or action blind-sighting the reader or spectator. While tracing the hermeneutic yield of such occlusion is its main conceptual aim, it also embodies a methodological innovation: structured as an internal dialogue, it aims to capture, and stake out a place for, a processive intellectual energy that enables a distinctive way of knowing in academic life; and to translate a sense of intellectual "community" into print.

Although Kentucky was not subject to reconstruction as such, the period of readjustment following the Civil War was a troubled one for the Commonwealth. Violence begun by guerillas continued for years. In addition, white "Regulators" tried to cow the new freedmen and keep them in a perpetual state of fearful submission that would assure the agricultural labor supply.Their attacks produced exactly the effects whites least desired: the blacks became all the more determined to leave the countryside, and the federal government imposed the Freedmen's Bureau to protect the former slaves. Kentucky in the Reconstruction Era shows how this and other forms of federal intervention angered even the most loyal white citizens, leading to Kentucky's hostility to the national administration and consequent reputation as a state dominated by ex-Confederates.Gradually, however, things began to change, as hopes for future prosperity outweighed past disappointments. While the old feuds were not healed during this period, many of the state's leaders shifted their attention to more productive matters, and the way was opened to eventual reconciliation.

Savannah’s Midnight Hour argues that Savannah’s development is best understood within the larger history of municipal finance, public policy, and judicial readjustment in an urbanizing nation. In providing such context, Lisa Denmark adds constructive complexity to the conventional Old South/New South dichotomous narrative, in which the politics of slavery, secession, Civil War, and Reconstruction dominate the analysis of economic development. Denmark shows us that Savannah’s fiscal experience in the antebellum and postbellum years, while exhibiting some distinctively southern characteristics, also echoes a larger national experience. Her broad account of municipal decision making about improvement investment throughout the nineteenth century offers a more nuanced look at the continuity and change of policies in this pivotal urban setting.Beginning in the 1820s and continuing into the 1870s, Savannah’s resourceful government leaders acted enthusiastically and aggressively to establish transportation links and to construct a modern infrastructure. Taking the long view of financial risk, the city/municipal government invested in an ever-widening array of projects―canals, railroads, harbor improvement, drainage― because of their potential to stimulate the city’s economy. Denmark examines how this ideology of over-optimistic risk-taking, rooted firmly in the antebellum period, persisted after the Civil War and eventually brought the city to the brink of bankruptcy. The struggle to strike the right balance between using public policy and public money to promote economic development while, at the same time, trying to maintain a sound fiscal footing is a question governments still struggle with today.

Throughout the 1800s the process of industrialization contributed to painful social upheaval and wrenching political readjustments in the Kingdom of Prussia, traditionally viewed as Europe's great, modernizing, economic leader. This book illuminates the early years of this transition by examining the contradictory economic policies adopted by the state after Prussia's defeat by Napoleon. A fascinating history of modernization emerges as Eric Dorn Brose explores competing visions among soldiers, businessmen, and bureaucrats, who, largely influenced by the ideals of classical antiquity, conceived of industry in ways quite different from what it actually came to be. Brose focuses on the varying attitudes of Prussians toward their own times, the nature of the Prussian state, and the ways the state both helped and hindered early industrialization. In a highly nuanced analysis of the rivaling intrastate agencies, cultures, and political factions that shaped state policy, he accords a pivotal role to Frederick William III. Included is an investigation of the political struggle over ownership, control, and promotion of the forces of production--a crisis that was only gradually resolved at the end of the century.Originally published in 1993.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Although many historians have studied Reconstruction, few have sought to determine how the turbulent era of reunification and readjustment after the Civil War was played out on a local level. In this groundbreaking work, award-winning historian Randolph B. Campbell examines six Texas counties during that period, revealing a diversity of experience that challenges popular generalizations.The counties Campbell explores―Dallas, Colorado, Harrison, Jefferson, McLennan, and Nueces―represent the various regions of Texas and thus its considerable geographic, economic, and demographic diversity. He ponders how the major post-Civil War policies, shaped in Washington and Austin, were interpreted in these outlying areas and thoughtfully measures the degree of change they brought to the lives of all residents―conservative whites, Republicans, and freedmen. Reconstruction at the grass roots in Texas, Campbell asserts, varied greatly from county to county, depending on such factors as demography, economic growth, and the extent of federal intervention. In the case of Texas, and possibly other states as well, Campbell concludes, assumptions about Reconstruction need to be qualified to recognize the distinct ways in which various localities experienced the period. Campbell also dispels common conceptions about Reconstruction, maintaining that whites were hurt far less than is often claimed and that at least one generation of African Americans bene-fitted a good deal more than is often recognized. Campbell’s compelling work is the first systematic examination of Reconstruction at the county level. It provides convincing evidence for useful, general conclusions about how local conditions determined the way in which most citizens dealt with Reconstruction and its pivotal issues that forever shaped their state’s politics and society.

Rohl shows that a readjustment of Egyptian chronology puts the findings of archaeology in a new light and leads directly to the living world of biblical narratives. Pharaohs and Kings unveils the historical reality of such biblical personalities as Moses, David, and Solomon, and such archaeological wonders as the desecrated statue of Joseph in his coat of many colors.
