Liddell Hart, no warrior, dwelt all his life on war. He obtained its waste, deplored its unreasonableness, but amended the classical dictum as one of his own-if you wish for peace understand war. Although his name is synonuymous w military thought and military controversy, throughout his life he appeared i succession of different guises. He was variously revered and reviled. He adv Lloyd George-among others-and antaginised Winston Churchill.

Cette histoire intellectuelle de l’art médical dans les civilisations dites occidentales (monde méditerranéen d’abord, puis les pays de l’Europe de l’Ouest et du Nord, enfin tous les continents, Amérique du Nord en tête) tient pour essentielles les relations qu’entretiennent les connaissances médicales avec les mentalités, la philosophie et les diverses sciences et techniques. Au lieu de thésauriser les faits et de se limiter aux abondantes listes des noms, dates et découvertes qui jalonnent l’histoire de l’art médical, cet ouvrage veut en dégager les idées-guides. La reconstruction historique des transformations lentes comme des mutations brusques subies par les théories et pratiques médicales présente tant les diverses influences exercées sur le développement de la pensée médicale que l’impact de cette pensée sur les autres branches du savoir et sur le comportement humain. L’étude de pathocénose, c’est-à-dire l’ensemble des états pathologiques caractérisant chaque population historique, amène à retracer aussi les grandes lignes de la réalité changeante des maladies. Les différents volumes de cet ouvrage ont été réalisés avec le concours d’une équipe internationale de spécialistes maîtrisant les méthodes adaptées aux diverses époques et aux problématiques particulières. Médecins et biologistes, historiens et sociologues, philologues et philosophes ont collaboré dans un cadre qui assure à l’ensemble son unité sans gommer la spécificité de chaque regard. M. G.

British author GEORGE MACDONALD (1824-1905) was best known in his day-and best remembered today-as a novelist, but he was also a preacher of some renown in Victorian England. This new edition contains all three volumes of Macdonald's "Unspoken Sermons," originally published between 1867 and 1889, including: . "The Child in the Midst" . "The Consuming Fire" .

The first sustained study of Leopold's seminal book as well as a work of art, philosophy, and social commentary.

Few, if any, industrial phenomena have been as dramatic as the United States mid-20th-century shift from peacetime manufacturing to wartime production. While the years 1939 to 1945 saw explosive growth in the manufacture of every type of armament imaginable, none was more emblematic of the industrial climate than the proliferation of aircraft factories. Zeroing in on the crux of the American military-industrial complex at a critical moment, this volume documents the production of legendary fighters and bombers by companies like Boeing, North American, Curtiss, Consolidated, Douglas, Grumman, and Lockheed. It was a production unmatched by the Axis powers or any other country, and a crucial part of why the allies won the war. Illustrated with 175 period photographs - including 50 rare color photos never before seen in print - The American Aircraft Factory in World War II conveys the incredible acceleration of aviation technology that took place during this period. Author Bill Yenne considers the various prewar governmental acts that got the plants rolling, as well as the notable gender shift that occurred on factory floors as women entered the work force like never before. He also describes the construction of megafactories like Willow Run, factory-design considerations, and the postwar conversion back to peacetime production. This beautiful coffee table book is an essential part of any World War II history buff's collection, and is a tribute to the veterans of the war - on the fighting and home fronts - who helped build and fly these amazing aircraft that would change the world forever.

Ideal for undergraduate and first-year graduate courses in chemical bonding, Chemical Bonding and Molecular Geometry: From Lewis to Electron Densities can also be used in inorganic chemistry courses. Authored by Ronald Gillespie, a world-class chemist and expert on chemical bonding, and Paul Popelier of the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, this text provides students with a comprehensive and detailed introduction to the principal models and theories of chemical bonding and geometry. It also serves as a useful resource and an up-to-date introduction to modern developments in the field for instructors teaching chemical bonding at any level. Features: * Shows students how the concept of the chemical bond has developed from its earliest days, through Lewis's brilliant concept of the electron pair bond and up to the present day * Presents a novel, non-traditional approach that emphasizes the importance of the Pauli principle as a basis for understanding bonding * Begins with the fundamental classical concepts and proceeds through orbital models to recent ideas based on the analysis of electron densities, which help to clarify and emphasize many of the limitations of earlier models * Provides a thorough and up-to-date treatment of the well-known valence-shell electron pair (VSEPR) model (which was first formulated and developed by author Ronald Gillespie) and the more recent ligand close-packing (LCP) model * Presents a unique pictorial and nonmathematical discussion of the analysis of electron density distributions using the atoms in molecules (AIM) theory * Emphasizes the relationships between these various models, giving examples of their uses, limitations, and comparative advantages and disadvantages

An Approach To Reality Based Upon The Significance Of Data Drawn From The Fields Of Natural Science, Psychical Research, And Mystical Experience.

Following the success of our previous three oversized monographs by Ron van Dongen, we are delighted to announce this fourth publication of his gorgeous, large-scale botanical still lifes. Superbly printed in duotone, hardbound, and covered in Japanese green cloth, Ops Opis presents a new selection of the artist's utterly seductive images. The focal point of van Dongen's lens ranges from the mouth-wateringly perfect bunch of grapes, to the glorious exuberance of flowers in full bloom and the daintier, more demure floral specimens. He shows us that plants are delicate and resourceful, decorative and essential, and temptingly tactile while commanding respect. But perhaps above all, he presents them as things of great beauty to linger over and enjoy. Born in Venezuela, Ron van Dongen grew up in Holland, where he studied Health Science and Biology before moving on to study Photography in San Francisco. He now lives in Portland, Oregon, where he grows and nurtures the plants that he so elegantly portrays. Van Dongen's work has been widely exhibited in the United States, Europe and Asia, and is housed in many important collections worldwide. Introduction and interview with the artist by Jane Jackson.

In the sound of the 1960s and 1970s, nothing symbolized the rift between black and white America better than the seemingly divided genres of country and soul. Yet the music emerged from the same songwriters, musicians, and producers in the recording studios of Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee, and Muscle Shoals, Alabama--what Charles L. Hughes calls the "country-soul triangle." In legendary studios like Stax and FAME, integrated groups of musicians like Booker T. and the MGs and the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section produced music that both challenged and reconfirmed racial divisions in the United States. Working with artists from Aretha Franklin to Willie Nelson, these musicians became crucial contributors to the era's popular music and internationally recognized symbols of American racial politics in the turbulent years of civil rights protests, Black Power, and white backlash. Hughes offers a provocative reinterpretation of this key moment in American popular music and challenges the conventional wisdom about the racial politics of southern studios and the music that emerged from them. Drawing on interviews and rarely used archives, Hughes brings to life the daily world of session musicians, producers, and songwriters at the heart of the country and soul scenes. In doing so, he shows how the country-soul triangle gave birth to new ways of thinking about music, race, labor, and the South in this pivotal period.
