Neuware - Stand der Ausgang des Ersten Weltkriegs auf Messers Schneide 100 Jahre nach der deutschen Niederlage zeichnet Holger Afflerbach die militärischen Entwicklungen nach, analysiert die politisch-strategischen Entscheidungen und zeigt, dass der Krieg auch anders hätte ausgehen können. Ein deutscher Sieg war schon nach dem Scheitern der Westoffensive im Herbst 1914 in weite Ferne gerückt. Doch gibt es nicht nur Sieg oder Niederlage. In seinem dicht argumentierenden, auf zahlreichen neuen Archivrecherchen basierenden Buch zeigt Holger Afflerbach, dass ein Unentschieden das logische Ergebnis des Ersten Weltkriegs gewesen wäre - wenn die deutsche Führung nicht schwere Fehler begangen hätte. Doch auch die Politik der Alliierten muss sehr viel kritischer gesehen werden, als es heute geschieht. Die deutsche Politik war nicht so eindeutig auf umfassende Eroberungen festgelegt, wie es dem allgemeinen Urteil entspricht, und die deutschen Friedensvorstöße hätten die Möglichkeit geboten, den Krieg zu beenden, bevor er Europa in den Abgrund riss. Doch die Alliierten gingen nicht auf sie ein, weil sie auf den Sieg gegen Deutschland fixiert waren und an ihren eigenen imperialistischen Plänen festhielten.

Book publicist Amy Sherman tripped over it when she caught her fiancé horizontally attached to her best friend, the impossibly tall, inexcusably blonde, and insufferably gorgeous Tara Messer, who added insult to injury by marrying the cad right out from under her.After four years of therapy, Amy's finally back on track-until she has to publicize the hottest new book of the season by "the next Martha Stewart."

Who'd ever guess she's living the perfect lie?When Amy tries to save face by roping a handsome mystery writer into posing as her fiancé, her little white lie leads to yet another romantic triangle.

As a tribute to the company and its people, the recently retired CEO of Messer, Pete Strange, wrote this book to share the company's history with the whole Messer team. As he writes in the introduction: "This is a book about some people who used their ideas, their energy and their love to set direction for a company amid the currents of change. The story is about Messer Construction, but make no mistake - the subject of the book is leadership. The story will follow a timeline but only because history gives context to the choices and actions of the people. It was the people who made the difference. They created their own story, rather than allowing the times, the pressures, or the opportunities to dictate it for them. One goal for this book is to share some strategies that may help Messer leaders of the future... More important to me is the opportunity to share the stories of some amazing people who met the test of leadership - they helped others get better results, make better decisions, and think long term." Messer Construction officially began in 1932, although the genesis of the company was a decade earlier when Frank Messer and Jacob Warm ventured into the construction business with limited capital and a lot of entrepreneurial will. In many ways, it's the classic American Dream story, complete with two strong leaders, business obstacles, crucial early victories, subsequent shortfalls and learnings, and ultimately, success. And so the story begins...

Using recently declassified documents, Messer traces Byrnes's performance from the Yalta Conference through the postwar dealings with the Soviet Union. He sees the failure of the Soviet-American collaboration to continue into the postwar years as the result of several unrelated events--the struggle between Byrnes and Truman to become Roosevelt's successor in 1944, Roosevelt's use of Byrnes as his Yalta salesman," and Byrnes's distorted view of the Yalta Conference."Originally published in 1982.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.

Completed in 1482, Johannes Lecküchner's Art of Combat with the "Langes Messer" (Messerfechtkunst) is among the most important documents on the combat arts of the Middle Ages. The Messer was a single-edged, one-handed utility sword peculiar to central Europe, but Lecküchner's techniques apply to cut-and-thrust swords in general: not only is this treatise the single most substantial work on the use of one-handed swords to survive from this period, but it is the most detailed explanation of the two-handed sword techniques of the German "Liechtenauer" school dating back to the 1300s. Lecküchner's lavish manuscript consists of over four hundred illustrations with explanatory text, in which the author, a parish priest, rings the changes on bladework, deceits, and grappling, with techniques ranging from life-or-death escapes from an armed assailant to slapstick moves designed to please the crowd in public fencing matches. This translation, complete with all illustrations from the manuscript, makes the treatise accessible for the first time since the author's untimely death less than a year after its completion left his major work to be lost for generations. An extensive introduction, notes, and glossary analyze and contextualize the work and clarify its technical content. Jeffrey L. Forgeng is curator of Arms and Armor and Medieval Art at the Worcester Art Museum, and teaches as Adjunct Professor of History at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Neil Messer brings together a range of theoretical and practical questions raised by current research on the human brain: questions about both the 'ethics of neuroscience' and the 'neuroscience of ethics'. While some of these are familiar to theologians, others have been more or less ignored hitherto, and the field of neuroethics as a whole has received little theological attention. Drawing on both theological ethics and the science-and-theology field, Messer discusses cognitive-scientific and neuroscientific studies of religion, arguing that they do not give grounds to dismiss theological perspectives on the human self. He examines a representative range of topics across the whole field of neuroethics, including consciousness, the self and the value of human life; the neuroscience of morality; determinism, freewill and moral responsibility; and the ethics of cognitive enhancement.

Maurice and Norman Messer, father-and-son business partners, know a good product when they see it. That product is the Holocaust, and Maurice, a Holocaust survivor with an inflated personal history, and Norman, enjoying vicarious victimhood as a participant in the second-generation movement, proceed to market it enthusiastically. Not even the disappearance of Nechama, Norman's daughter and Maurice's granddaughter, into the Carmelite convent at Auschwitz, where she is transformed into a nun, Sister Consolatia of the Cross, deters them from pushing their agenda. Father and son embark on a tour of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp, which Maurice—now the driving force behind the most powerful Holocaust memorialization institution in America—organizes to soften up a potential major donor, and which Norman takes advantage of to embark on a surrealistic search for his daughter. At the death camp they run into assorted groups and individuals all clamoring for a piece of the Holocaust, including Buddhist New Agers on a retreat, Israeli schoolchildren on a required heritage pilgrimage, a Holocaust artifact hustler, filmmakers, and an astonishing collection of others. All hell breaks loose when Maurice's museum is taken over by a coalition of self-styled victims seeking Holocaust status, bringing together a vivid cast of all-too-human characters, from Holocaust professionals to Holocaust wannabees of every persuasion, in the fevered competition to win the grand prize of owning the Holocaust.An inspiringly courageous and shockingly original tour-de-force, My Holocaust dares to penetrate territory until now considered sacrosanct in its brilliantly provocative and darkly comic exploration of the uses and abuses of memory and the meaning of human suffering.

Billions have been spent on land conservation but too little attention had been paid to how cost-effective these investments have been. With budgets increasingly constrained, conservationists must learn to fully harness their funds to protect critical resources. Messer and Allen are pioneers in making conservation selection more successful, cost-effective, scientific, and transparent. This book introduces powerful mathematical tools available for project selection, using real-life examples and a practical step-by-step approach. Readers can readily apply these methods to their own work, accomplishing more with less by combining the individual benefits of structured decision-making, mathematical programming, and an understanding of market forces and human behavior. The authors highlight tools from conservation science, mathematics, land use planning and behavioral economics, showing how they can be combined to help protect key environmental resources. This is an invaluable volume for all students, professionals and stakeholders associated with conservation programs.
