EXKLUSIVA MEDLEMPRISER -Negotiating Pasts in the Nordic Countries är en samling fallstudier som spänner från medeltid till nutid, och berättar om hur det förgångna har blivit meningsfullt och relevant för efterkommande människor. När man ser på historien blir man delaktig i en process full av önskan att förstå okända förutsättningar och en vilja att utveckla samförstånd - inte bara med historien utan också med ens samtid. "Historien" är ingen enkel "gårdag", utan snarare ett flertal gångna skeenden, som tidvis står i konflikt och ibland kompletterar varandra. Författarnas texter är inlägg på det internationella tvärvetenskapliga forskningsfältet kring kollektiva minnen som har vuxit sig stort under de senaste decennierna. Studier av minneshögtider, festivaler, utställningar och museiverksamhet, historiska filmer och berättelser ökar stadigt. Termer som "socialt" - eller "kollektivt" minne visar på intresset för hur det förflutna - eller bilder av det - konstrueras och byggs upp, men också krossas och förkastas. I den här boken lär vi mer om hur processen av selektion, tolkning och tradering av mening fungerar - hur vi människor förhandlar om och med historien.

These documents include correspondence and telegrams exchanged between residents and agents, captains of ships of the Indian Navy, and their superiors at the British Ministry of India and Foreign Affairs in London, as well as letters from the elders and merchants of the region.

Therefore, topics vary between the political, military, economic, social, and more.The documents in the volume are arranged in chronological-historical order; it covers historical events and facts in the relevant period, the most important of which is the Ottoman campaign against Najd, the Ottoman military reinforcements in Al-Ahsa, Al-Qatif and Qatar, the repercussions of the conflict between Abdullah and Saud, the sons of Faisal bin Turki Al-Saud, and the position of the tribes in Al-Ahsa, Al-Qatif, Qatar and Bahrain. What followed was a move from the Ottomans which affected the British position, most notably after Qatar raised the Ottoman flag.EPUB3: Reflowable

First published in 1861 ‘Tales of all Countries’ is Anthony Trollope’s first collection of short stories and includes some of his most-loved stories set all around the world. Works include ‘La Mère Bauche’ set in the Pyrenees, the Spanish tale of ‘John Bull on the Guadalquivir’ and the story of feisty, independent Englishwoman Sabrina Dawkins as she visits the wonders of Egypt. There are many more delightful Trollope tales to discover in this collection of some of his best short stories.Anthony Trollope (1815 – 1882) was a Victorian writer and author of 47 novels. He also wrote an autobiography, short stories and plays, travel articles, reviews and lectures. A prolific writer, he made no secret of the fact that money was his motivation for writing – an admission which raised eyebrows among his literary contemporaries at the time. The amount of works Trollope authored are testament to his belief in hard work. His first successful novel was The Warden followed by its sequel, Barchester Towers. The Chronicles of Barsetshire are perhaps his most well-known series of novels, though many of his works have been adapted for TV and radio, starring many familiar faces such as Alan Rickman, David Tennant, Bill Nighy and Tom Hollander. Alongside his literary career, Trollope also worked for some time for the Post Office and is credited with the introduction of the iconic post box to Britain. A memorial to Anthony Trollope was unveiled in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey in 1993.

EXKLUSIVA MEDLEMPRISER -Despite their long tradition of stable parliamentary democracy, the Nordic countries have not gone unaffected by the profound changes taking place in Europe. In recent years, some scholars have claimed that executive-legislative relations are undergoing fundamental changes in the Nordic countries and elsewhere. More powers are suggested to be transferred to political executives at the expense of parliaments, while powers inside government cabinets are increasingly concentrated in the hands of prime ministers. This volume seeks to address these challenges to the Nordic parliamentary systems. Due to the alleged strong reliance on power-sharing in these countries between the executive and the legislature on the one hand, and between the prime minister and his/her cabinet ministers on the other, the Nordic countries should be particularly resistant to such trends. Yet, the authors find that parliamentary government in the Nordic countries appears to be undergoing significant changes. It seems therefore that the Nordic parliamentary systems are now at an important crossroads. The evidence presented in this volume, however, yields a rather mixed picture of where the development is going.

This book poses reconstruction as an essential stage of recovery in countries that have undergone violent conflict and severe natural disaster, focusing on housing in particular. A necessity to ensure decent human life, it is positioned as critical need as opposed to deferred luxury. This book is an important attempt to address a gap in this field through its use of clear academic and scientific foundations, providing theoretical concept frameworks to study housing reconstruction within the context of crisis recovery. It also discusses strategic policy as an additional means to recover using a tripartite approach: humanity, development, and peace. This book represents a valuable scientific contribution to Arabic literature, enriching researching in the field of post-crisis and post-disaster reconstruction. It contributed to the formation of a broad knowledge based fueled by realistic models to understand the relevant options, lessons and challenges.EPUB3: Reflowable

Tales of Two Countries

By the spring of 1940, the phoney war suddenly became very real. In April Hitler's forces, invaded Norway and a month later began their assault on France and the Low Countries. The Anglo/French allies were routed. The British escaped to fight another day after evacuating the bulk of their armies at Dunkirk. When on 10 May Winston Churchill became Prime Minister he soon discovered that the nation's defenses were in a parlous state and a Nazi invasion was a very real possibility. By the end of the month, nearly a million British citizens had joined the Local Defense Volunteers, soon to become the Home Guard, of Dad's Army fame. Churchill, however, realized the Home Guard was initially of little more than PR value, an important morale booster. A more serious deterrent needed to be created if Hitler's panzer divisions and the full might of the blitzkrieg were to be thwarted. Consequently, to supplement the sorely ill-equipped regular forces (all of their tanks and most of their artillery had been abandoned in France) a new, British resistance force was required. The intentionally blandly named ‘Auxiliary Units’ might have been the answer. Formed in the Summer of 1940, in great secrecy, this force of 'stay behind' saboteurs and assassins was intended to cause havoc behind the German front line should the Wehrmacht gain a foothold in Britain. Their mission was to go to cover, hiding in underground bunkers for the first 14 days of invasion and then springing up, at nightfall, to gather intelligence, interrogate prisoners, destroying fuel and ammunition dumps as they went about their deadly business. Each Auxilier knew his life expectancy was short, a matter of weeks. He also knew he could not tell a soul about his activities, even his spouse. 'Dads Army' they were not. Following the publication of his 50th anniversary history of the Battle of Britain, A Nation Alone, written in association with the RAF Museum, Arthur Ward looked deeper into the story of the Invasion Summer of 1940 and enjoyed unique opportunities to interview those involved with Auxiliary Units at the very top and in the front line, as volunteers in a six-man cell.
