An exceptional copy. 2016 Trade Paperback. ix, 214 pp. In 1791, General Arthur St. Clair led the United States army in a campaign to destroy a complex of Indian villages at the Maumee River in northwestern Ohio. Almost within reach of their objective, St. Clair's 1,400 men were attacked by about one thousand Indians. The U.S. force was decimated, suffering nearly one thousand casualties in killed and wounded, while Indian casualties numbered only a few dozen. But despite the lopsided result, it wouldn't appear to carry much significance; it involved only a few thousand people, lasted less than three hours, and the outcome, which was never in doubt, was permanently reversed a mere three years later. Neither an epic struggle nor a clash that changed the course of history, the battle doesn't even have a name. Yet, as renowned Native American historian Colin Calloway demonstrates here, St. Clair's Defeat--as it came to be known-- was hugely important for its time. It was both the biggest victory the Native Americans ever won, and, proportionately, the biggest military disaster the United States had suffered. With the British in Canada waiting in the wings for the American experiment in republicanism to fail, and some regions of the West gravitating toward alliance with Spain, the defeat threatened the very existence of the infant United States. Generating a deluge of reports, correspondence, opinions, and debates in the press, it produced the first congressional investigation in American history, while ultimately changing not only the manner in which Americans viewed, raised, organized, and paid for their armies, but the very ways in which they fought their wars. Emphasizing the extent to which the battle has been overlooked in history, Calloway illustrates how this moment of great victory by American Indians became an aberration in the national story and a blank spot in the national memory. Calloway shows that St. Clair's army proved no match for the highly motivated and well-led Native American force that shattered not only the American army but the ill-founded assumption that Indians stood no chance against European methods and models of warfare. An engaging and enlightening read for American history enthusiasts and scholars alike, The Victory with No Name brings this significant moment in American history back to light., Oxford University Press, 2016, 5, Paperback / softback.

If we only think about a pen as an instrument used for making marks on another surface, we must consider that the pen as being invented during the stone age. Over the centuries writing instruments have evolved into the pen as we know it. In May of 1827, France issued its first patent on the fountain pen to a Parisian Student, Romanian Petrache Poenaru. The fountain pen which features a fine stainless-steel tip, still needs an ink well to be constantly filled with ink. Widespread production of these customized pens taking another 30 years, with others improving on the filling techniques. Fountain pens become a favorite with professionals such as barristers, professors, doctors and accountants and remain a mainstay for over a century. Originally the concept of the ballpoint pen was proposed by John J. Loud, who was looking for a way to write on surfaces other than paper. The concept was simple enough, a thin tube of ink would be placed in a comfortable cylinder, the ink would be held in a metal ball in a socket. When the ball was pressed against a writing surface, the ball would rotate in the socket allowing a smooth even flow of ink. Mr. Loud receive his first patent for the ball point pen on October 30, 1888. Each innovation made the ballpoint better and cheaper to manufacturer. Ballpoint pens soon became available in every color, style, shape and design. They featured permanent ink, erasable ink, black ink, blue ink, red ink. It was the revolution of the pen. From Wikipedia: The B61 nuclear bomb is the primary thermonuclear gravity bomb in the United States Enduring Stockpile following the end of the Cold War. It is a low-to-intermediate yield strategic and tactical nuclear weapon featuring a two-stage radiation implosion design. The B61 is of the variable yield ("dial-a-yield" in informal military jargon) design with a yield of 0.3 to 340 kilotons in its various mods ("modifications"). It is a Full Fuzing Option (FUFO) weapon, meaning it is equipped with the full range of fuzing and delivery options, including air and ground burst fuzing, and free-fall, retarded free-fall and laydown delivery. It has a streamlined casing capable of withstanding supersonic flight and is 11 ft 8 in (3.56 m) long, with a diameter of about 13 inches (33 cm). Basic weight is about 700 pounds (320 kg), although the weights of individual weapons may vary depending on version and fuze/retardation configuration. As of 2020, it is undergoing a 12th modification. According to the Federation of American Scientists in 2012, the roughly 400 B61-12s will cost $28 million apiece. As of 2013 the Pentagon saw the B83 nuclear bomb as a "relic of the Cold War," believing that deploying a megaton-yield gravity bomb, the highest level nuclear weapon left in the U.S. inventory, to Europe was "inconceivable" at this point. It can also only be carried by the B-2 bomber, and integrating it onto additional aircraft would be costly. The Mod 12 upgrade is being pursued as a forward-deployed tactical/strategic nuclear weapon to protect NATO and Asian allies since it can be used from dual-capable fighter aircraft, as well as planned to arm the F-35 and B-21 Raider, and its lower yield options make it more flexible with less collateral effects. Recapitalizing the B61 is hoped to lead to the retirement of the B83, resulting in the elimination of the last megaton-yield U.S. bomb and leave the B61-series as the only U.S. gravity nuclear bomb. In 2013, the Pentagon and NNSA stated that if B61 refurbishment did not begin by 2019, components in the existing weapons could begin to fail. Initially, the NNSA Stockpile Stewardship and Management Plan anticipated Phase 1 development for the B61 Mod 13 Life Extension Program (LEP) beginning in 2037 with first production of the weapon in 2050, but in 2023 plans were announced to produce a new gravity bomb similar to that of the B61-12, but having a high yield similar to that of the B61-7, named the B61 Mod 13. This discards plans for the Mod 13 to be a future Mod 12 LEP. It is planned that for each B61-13 produced, one fewer B61-12 is to be produced, therefore not increasing the planned number of new B61 bombs; defense officials indicated only "a few dozen" B61-13s may be produced. The new bomb will be carried by the B-21 Raider, but it is not planned to be deployed on the F-35., 5, Melbourne London Toronto: William Heinemann, 1954. First Edition Stated 1st Printing. Red Cloth.

Sir Vivian Fuchs ( 1908-1999) was an British explorer and scientist well known for his early African and and later Antarctic expeditions. In college at Cambridge, he was tutored by James Wordie, the geologist and senior scientist on Shackleton's 'Endurance ' expedition (1914-17). In 1947, he was appointed a geologist for the Falklands Dependencies, which included bases in Antarctica, and operated the British Antarctic Survey since 1943. At the time the bases were to claim the Antarctic sector for Great Britain in addition to the science. This was the start of his career as an Antarctic explorer. This book is about the survey work over 30 years. Vivian Fuchs (1908-1999) and Sir Edmund Hillary (1919-2008) led the Trans-Antarctic expedition 1955-1958. They were successful in accomplishing Shackleton's failed Trans-Antarctic expedition in 1914. However, they did it with modern mechanized SnowCats and radio communications. This expedition was one of many that part of the International Geophysical Year research projects (July 1, 1957 to December 31, 1958). Over 70 countries and organizations sent teams primarily to the Antarctic, Arctic and other remote areas in the world to coordinate collection of scientific data and discovery. During this 1957, the United States established the Scott-Amundsen South Pole base as a permanent station and the Soviet Union launched the first orbiting satellite., Cassell, 1959, 3.5, In the original dustsheet. Black cloth binding with tan title on the spine.The Battle of Krasny Bor in 1943 was part of the Soviet Red Army's efforts to lift the blockade of Leningrad, one of the longest and most destructive in history. Previous works on the Battle of Krasny Bor have focused primarily on the infantry involved, especially when using veteran testimonies, and the use of artillery has been conspicuously absent. This book aims to put the reader right in the heart of the battle, describing the action from an artilleryman's point of view, seeing it fundamentally as a duel between the Soviet and German-Spanish soldiers.Review This book is about the gunners of the Spanish division, and their German colleagues supporting the division during an important part of the Leningrad battle. I was quite disappointed. I agree with the author about the importance of artillery, but I didn't learn much. I didn't know the German army relied so much on captured guns, and very few guns were mobile, so in a defensive battle they often had to destroy them to prevent their capture. There are lots of details about the organisation of a German artillery structure up to corps level, which is sometimes interesting, to a point. The other aspect is commemorative, and celebrates the glorious behaviour of the Spanish gunners, quoting captain or sergeant so and so and how they were hard done by, by receiving no battlefield honour. No disrespect here but it is like reading a text about the glorious fighters during the recent Indo Pakistani wars, a bit like it is the permanent epitome of courage. The author takes a lot of pain to redeem the Germans regarding the support they effectively provided to the Spaniards who felt abandoned. You almost feel for the poor Nazis. A lot of efforts are made not to forget a particular battery often overlooked apparently. The author also regularly describes his efforts to find a particular piece of information, which generally is a fragment of individual recollections, or the organisation of the units at some stage of the three days (or so) battle. Despite the hard work of the author, i failed to be very interested, sadly. There is a lot about hand-to-hand fighting around the battery positions, but the artillery battle is not really explained. The information is probably lacking. It is too commemorative for me; you must have a strong interest in this Spanish division more than in artillery., Pen & Sword Military., 2020, 5, Privately Published, 2012. First edition. Softcover.

However, these two objectives frequently involve trade-offs, as vocal and organized opponents to reform often concern governments far more than the poor do. These organized and less vulnerable groups tend to place heavy demands on the scarce resources available to governments at times of economic crisis. Governments that fail to address the social costs of reform, meanwhile, often face popular opposition that jeopardizes or even derails the entire market transition. The author examines these trade-offs in detail, with a particular focus on how political and institutional contexts affect the kinds of safety nets that are implemented. For example, reaching the poor and vulnerable with safety nets tends to be more difficult in closed-party systems where entrenched interest groups have a monopoly on state benefits. In contrast, dramatic political change or rapid implementation of economic reform undermines the influence of such groups and therefore can provide unique political opportunities to redirect resources to the poor. Rather than focus their efforts on organized interest groups - such as public sector unions - which have a great deal to lose in the process of reform, governments might better concentrate their efforts on poor groups that have rarely, if ever, received benefits from the state. The poor, meanwhile, may gain a new stake in the ongoing process of economic and public sector reform through organizing to solicit the state for safety net benefits. This is the first book to provide a detailed and comparative analysis of compensation during economic reform. Graham offers specific examples of resource allocation in three regions: Latin America, eastern Europe, and Africa. She features case studies from Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Poland, Senegal, and Zambia. The case studies yield valuab FROM THE CRITICS Booknews Graham (the World Bank) argues that safety nets for the poor can provide an environment in which economic reform is more politically sustainable and poverty can be permanently reduced. She examines the trade-offs associated with balancing the needs of the poor with the demands of less vulnerable groups, focusing on how political and institutional contexts affect the kinds of programs implemented. She offers specific examples of resource allocation in Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Africa, and discusses case studies. Annotation c.

Johannes "Macky" Steinhoff (15 September 1913 - 21 February 1994) was a Luftwaffe fighter ace during World War II, German general, and NATO official. He was one of very few Luftwaffe pilots who survived to fly operationally through the whole of the war period 1939-45. He was one of the highest-scoring pilots with 176 victories, and one of the first to fly the Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter in combat. Steinhoff was decorated with the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords, and later received several foreign awards including the American Legion of Merit and the French Legion of Honour. As a member of Jagdverband-44 (JV-44) Steinhoff was permanently disfigured after receiving major burns across most of his body after crashing his Me-262 after a failed takeoff. Steinhoff retired as a four star general in the new German Air Force at age 59. Steinhoff joined the West German government's Rearmament Office as a consultant on military aviation in 1952 and became one of the principal officials tasked with building the German Air Force during the Cold War. He became the German Military Representative to the NATO Military Committee in 1960, served as Acting Commander Allied Air Forces Central Europe in NATO 1965-1966, as Inspector of the Air Force 1966-1970 and as Chairman of the NATO Military Committee 1971-1974. In retirement, Steinhoff became a widely read author of books on German military aviation during the Second World War and the experiences of the German people at that time. The author, an ace with well over one hundred allied aircraft to his credit, tells of the psychological strain and physical perils that the pilots faced in the battle of attrition. Already handicapped with only one fighter for every 10 allied aircraft, the German pilots of the 77th fighter group were mostly young and unskilled. They were no match for their opponents who were sophisticated and well equipped. Some older pilots survived, but they too were slowly eliminated. By choosing just a few weeks of desperate combat, the author conveys the intensity of a fighter pilot's experience in war, and reveals the thoughts of men committed to trying to retrieve an impossible strategic situation with their skill and bravery. Based on the author's personal World War II diary. An unflinching look at Luftwaffe combat, tactics, and leadership during the campaign for Sicily. A concluding chapter assesses the war's lessons for air forces. In an account of unusual power, Luftwaffe ace Johannes Steinhoff recounts the final days of the German air force on Sicily in June and July 1943. Facing crushing odds--including a commander, Hermann Goering, who contemptuously treated his pilots as cowards--Steinhoff and his fellow Messerschmitt 109 pilots took to the skies day after day to meet waves of dreaded Flying Fortresses and swarms of Allied fighters, all bent on driving the Germans from the island.

Tras una minuciosa recopilación de material historiográfico, Bengoa nos propone este trabajo que recoge historias de heroísmo, de victorias y derrotas parciales, buscando con ello que la palabra silenciada llegue hasta nuestros oídos, en pos de una mayor comprensión del sentido que hay tras la lucha de esta etnia. El libro reconstruye la larga historia del pueblo mapuche poniendo especial énfasis en su último período de vida independiente durante el siglo XIX. Se detalla su organización social y el proceso político y militar que culminó con la ocupación de la Araucanía. Se describe, con el apoyo de importante documentación, lo ocurrido con sus tierras y con su cultura durante las primeras décadas de este siglo. En tal sentido la reedición de este libro viene a ser un acierto, no sólo por la permanente vigencia que este tema tiene para la sociedad chilena, la que no logra dar satisfacción a las demandas y reivindicaciones de un pueblo por su derecho a existir, a preservar y reproducir su cultura, sino porque constituye además un valioso aporte a nuestra historiografía.José Bengoa has systematically researched the issues that have confronted the Mapuche, and today he offers us this corrected edition of the classic work on the history of the Mapuche people. After a meticulous compilation of historiographical material, Bengoa presents a work that collects stories of heroism, of victories and partial defeats, seeking with it that the silenced word reach our ears, in pursuit of a greater understanding of the meaning behind the struggle of this ethnic group. The book reconstructs the long history of the Mapuche people with special emphasis on their last period of independent life during the nineteenth century. Its social organization and the political and military processes that culminated with the occupation of Araucanía are detailed. It describes, on the basis of important documentation, what happened to their lands and their culture during the first decades of this century. In this sense, the reissue of this book is a success, not only because of the permanent validity that this issue has for Chilean society, which fails to satisfy the demands and claims of a people for their right to exist, to preserve and reproduce their culture, but also because it constitutes a valuable contribution to historiography of Chile., LOM Ediciones, 2000, 5, Paperback / softback. New. Why do many Asian, African, and Latin American states have such difficulty in directing the behavior of their populations--in spite of the resources at their disposal? And why do a small number of other states succeed in such control? What effect do failing laws and social policies have on the state itself? In answering these questions, Joel Migdal takes a new look at the role of the state in the third world. Strong Societies and Weak States offers a fresh approach to the study of state-society relations and to the possibilities for economic and political reforms in the third world. In Asia, Africa, and Latin America, state institutions have established a permanent presence among the populations of even the most remote villages. A close look at the performance of these agencies, however, reveals that often they operate on principles radically different from those conceived by their founders and creators in the capital city. Migdal proposes an answer to this paradox: a model of state-society relations that highlights the state's struggle with other social organizations and a theory that explains the differing abilities of states to predominate in those struggles., 6<

New York: Oxford University Press, 2016. 2nd Printing. Trade Paperback. Fine. 8x0x5. Second printing. An exceptional copy. 2016 Trade Paperback. ix, 214 pp. In 1791, General Arthur St. Clair led the United States army in a campaign to destroy a complex of Indian villages at the Maumee River in northwestern Ohio. Almost within reach of their objective, St. Clair's 1,400 men were attacked by about one thousand Indians. The U.S. force was decimated, suffering nearly one thousand casualties in killed and wounded, while Indian casualties numbered only a few dozen. But despite the lopsided result, it wouldn't appear to carry much significance; it involved only a few thousand people, lasted less than three hours, and the outcome, which was never in doubt, was permanently reversed a mere three years later. Neither an epic struggle nor a clash that changed the course of history, the battle doesn't even have a name. Yet, as renowned Native American historian Colin Calloway demonstrates here, St. Clair's Defeat--as it came to be known-- was hugely important for its time. It was both the biggest victory the Native Americans ever won, and, proportionately, the biggest military disaster the United States had suffered. With the British in Canada waiting in the wings for the American experiment in republicanism to fail, and some regions of the West gravitating toward alliance with Spain, the defeat threatened the very existence of the infant United States. Generating a deluge of reports, correspondence, opinions, and debates in the press, it produced the first congressional investigation in American history, while ultimately changing not only the manner in which Americans viewed, raised, organized, and paid for their armies, but the very ways in which they fought their wars. Emphasizing the extent to which the battle has been overlooked in history, Calloway illustrates how this moment of great victory by American Indians became an aberration in the national story and a blank spot in the national memory. Calloway shows that St. Clair's army proved no match for the highly motivated and well-led Native American force that shattered not only the American army but the ill-founded assumption that Indians stood no chance against European methods and models of warfare. An engaging and enlightening read for American history enthusiasts and scholars alike, The Victory with No Name brings this significant moment in American history back to light., Oxford University Press, 2016, 5, Paperback / softback.

If we only think about a pen as an instrument used for making marks on another surface, we must consider that the pen as being invented during the stone age. Over the centuries writing instruments have evolved into the pen as we know it. In May of 1827, France issued its first patent on the fountain pen to a Parisian Student, Romanian Petrache Poenaru. The fountain pen which features a fine stainless-steel tip, still needs an ink well to be constantly filled with ink. Widespread production of these customized pens taking another 30 years, with others improving on the filling techniques. Fountain pens become a favorite with professionals such as barristers, professors, doctors and accountants and remain a mainstay for over a century. Originally the concept of the ballpoint pen was proposed by John J. Loud, who was looking for a way to write on surfaces other than paper. The concept was simple enough, a thin tube of ink would be placed in a comfortable cylinder, the ink would be held in a metal ball in a socket. When the ball was pressed against a writing surface, the ball would rotate in the socket allowing a smooth even flow of ink. Mr. Loud receive his first patent for the ball point pen on October 30, 1888. Each innovation made the ballpoint better and cheaper to manufacturer. Ballpoint pens soon became available in every color, style, shape and design. They featured permanent ink, erasable ink, black ink, blue ink, red ink. It was the revolution of the pen. From Wikipedia: The B61 nuclear bomb is the primary thermonuclear gravity bomb in the United States Enduring Stockpile following the end of the Cold War. It is a low-to-intermediate yield strategic and tactical nuclear weapon featuring a two-stage radiation implosion design. The B61 is of the variable yield ("dial-a-yield" in informal military jargon) design with a yield of 0.3 to 340 kilotons in its various mods ("modifications"). It is a Full Fuzing Option (FUFO) weapon, meaning it is equipped with the full range of fuzing and delivery options, including air and ground burst fuzing, and free-fall, retarded free-fall and laydown delivery. It has a streamlined casing capable of withstanding supersonic flight and is 11 ft 8 in (3.56 m) long, with a diameter of about 13 inches (33 cm). Basic weight is about 700 pounds (320 kg), although the weights of individual weapons may vary depending on version and fuze/retardation configuration. As of 2020, it is undergoing a 12th modification. According to the Federation of American Scientists in 2012, the roughly 400 B61-12s will cost $28 million apiece. As of 2013 the Pentagon saw the B83 nuclear bomb as a "relic of the Cold War," believing that deploying a megaton-yield gravity bomb, the highest level nuclear weapon left in the U.S. inventory, to Europe was "inconceivable" at this point. It can also only be carried by the B-2 bomber, and integrating it onto additional aircraft would be costly. The Mod 12 upgrade is being pursued as a forward-deployed tactical/strategic nuclear weapon to protect NATO and Asian allies since it can be used from dual-capable fighter aircraft, as well as planned to arm the F-35 and B-21 Raider, and its lower yield options make it more flexible with less collateral effects. Recapitalizing the B61 is hoped to lead to the retirement of the B83, resulting in the elimination of the last megaton-yield U.S. bomb and leave the B61-series as the only U.S. gravity nuclear bomb. In 2013, the Pentagon and NNSA stated that if B61 refurbishment did not begin by 2019, components in the existing weapons could begin to fail. Initially, the NNSA Stockpile Stewardship and Management Plan anticipated Phase 1 development for the B61 Mod 13 Life Extension Program (LEP) beginning in 2037 with first production of the weapon in 2050, but in 2023 plans were announced to produce a new gravity bomb similar to that of the B61-12, but having a high yield similar to that of the B61-7, named the B61 Mod 13. This discards plans for the Mod 13 to be a future Mod 12 LEP. It is planned that for each B61-13 produced, one fewer B61-12 is to be produced, therefore not increasing the planned number of new B61 bombs; defense officials indicated only "a few dozen" B61-13s may be produced. The new bomb will be carried by the B-21 Raider, but it is not planned to be deployed on the F-35., 5, Melbourne London Toronto: William Heinemann, 1954. First Edition Stated 1st Printing. Red Cloth.

Sir Vivian Fuchs ( 1908-1999) was an British explorer and scientist well known for his early African and and later Antarctic expeditions. In college at Cambridge, he was tutored by James Wordie, the geologist and senior scientist on Shackleton's 'Endurance ' expedition (1914-17). In 1947, he was appointed a geologist for the Falklands Dependencies, which included bases in Antarctica, and operated the British Antarctic Survey since 1943. At the time the bases were to claim the Antarctic sector for Great Britain in addition to the science. This was the start of his career as an Antarctic explorer. This book is about the survey work over 30 years. Vivian Fuchs (1908-1999) and Sir Edmund Hillary (1919-2008) led the Trans-Antarctic expedition 1955-1958. They were successful in accomplishing Shackleton's failed Trans-Antarctic expedition in 1914. However, they did it with modern mechanized SnowCats and radio communications. This expedition was one of many that part of the International Geophysical Year research projects (July 1, 1957 to December 31, 1958). Over 70 countries and organizations sent teams primarily to the Antarctic, Arctic and other remote areas in the world to coordinate collection of scientific data and discovery. During this 1957, the United States established the Scott-Amundsen South Pole base as a permanent station and the Soviet Union launched the first orbiting satellite., Cassell, 1959, 3.5, In the original dustsheet.

Previous works on the Battle of Krasny Bor have focused primarily on the infantry involved, especially when using veteran testimonies, and the use of artillery has been conspicuously absent. This book aims to put the reader right in the heart of the battle, describing the action from an artilleryman's point of view, seeing it fundamentally as a duel between the Soviet and German-Spanish soldiers.Review This book is about the gunners of the Spanish division, and their German colleagues supporting the division during an important part of the Leningrad battle. I was quite disappointed. I agree with the author about the importance of artillery, but I didn't learn much. I didn't know the German army relied so much on captured guns, and very few guns were mobile, so in a defensive battle they often had to destroy them to prevent their capture. There are lots of details about the organisation of a German artillery structure up to corps level, which is sometimes interesting, to a point. The other aspect is commemorative, and celebrates the glorious behaviour of the Spanish gunners, quoting captain or sergeant so and so and how they were hard done by, by receiving no battlefield honour. No disrespect here but it is like reading a text about the glorious fighters during the recent Indo Pakistani wars, a bit like it is the permanent epitome of courage. The author takes a lot of pain to redeem the Germans regarding the support they effectively provided to the Spaniards who felt abandoned. You almost feel for the poor Nazis. A lot of efforts are made not to forget a particular battery often overlooked apparently. The author also regularly describes his efforts to find a particular piece of information, which generally is a fragment of individual recollections, or the organisation of the units at some stage of the three days (or so) battle. Despite the hard work of the author, i failed to be very interested, sadly. There is a lot about hand-to-hand fighting around the battery positions, but the artillery battle is not really explained. The information is probably lacking. It is too commemorative for me; you must have a strong interest in this Spanish division more than in artillery., Pen & Sword Military., 2020, 5, Privately Published, 2012. First edition. Softcover.

[Conrad p. 394, Spence 491]. Vivian Fuchs (1908-1999) and Sir Edmund Hillary (1919-2008) led the Trans-Antarctic expedition 1955-1958. They were successful in accomplishing Shackleton's failed Trans-Antarctic expedition in 1914. However, they did it with modern mechanized SnowCats, radio communications and resupply airdrops. This expedition was one of many that part of the International Geophysical Year research projects (July 1, 1957 to December 31, 1958). Over 70 countries and organizations sent teams primarily to the Antarctic, Arctic and other remote areas in the world to coordinate collection of scientific data and discovery. During this 1957, the United States established the Scott-Amundsen South Pole base as a permanent station and the Soviet Union launched the first orbiting satellite. Forty-one years after the ill-fated Shackleton Trans Antarctic Expedition Endurance was caught in the Weddell Sea ice and forced the Shackleton to change the mission to survival, Sir Vivian Fuchs, Sir Edmund Hillary and ten others embarked from Shackleton Base to fulfill the original expedition -objectives. However, this time the Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1957-1958) was done with eight vehicles, sledges and two dog teams to travel from the Weddell Sea to the South Pole and then continue on to Scott Base at McMurdo Sound on the Ross Sea. This was only one of the expeditions during the International Geophysical Year where over 65 countries participated in scientific studies in the Arctic and Antarctic., Cassell & Company LTD, 1958, 2.75, Paperback / softback.

However, these two objectives frequently involve trade-offs, as vocal and organized opponents to reform often concern governments far more than the poor do. These organized and less vulnerable groups tend to place heavy demands on the scarce resources available to governments at times of economic crisis. Governments that fail to address the social costs of reform, meanwhile, often face popular opposition that jeopardizes or even derails the entire market transition. The author examines these trade-offs in detail, with a particular focus on how political and institutional contexts affect the kinds of safety nets that are implemented. For example, reaching the poor and vulnerable with safety nets tends to be more difficult in closed-party systems where entrenched interest groups have a monopoly on state benefits. In contrast, dramatic political change or rapid implementation of economic reform undermines the influence of such groups and therefore can provide unique political opportunities to redirect resources to the poor. Rather than focus their efforts on organized interest groups - such as public sector unions - which have a great deal to lose in the process of reform, governments might better concentrate their efforts on poor groups that have rarely, if ever, received benefits from the state. The poor, meanwhile, may gain a new stake in the ongoing process of economic and public sector reform through organizing to solicit the state for safety net benefits. This is the first book to provide a detailed and comparative analysis of compensation during economic reform. Graham offers specific examples of resource allocation in three regions: Latin America, eastern Europe, and Africa. She features case studies from Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Poland, Senegal, and Zambia. The case studies yield valuab FROM THE CRITICS Booknews Graham (the World Bank) argues that safety nets for the poor can provide an environment in which economic reform is more politically sustainable and poverty can be permanently reduced. She examines the trade-offs associated with balancing the needs of the poor with the demands of less vulnerable groups, focusing on how political and institutional contexts affect the kinds of programs implemented. She offers specific examples of resource allocation in Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Africa, and discusses case studies. Annotation c.

Johannes "Macky" Steinhoff (15 September 1913 - 21 February 1994) was a Luftwaffe fighter ace during World War II, German general, and NATO official. He was one of very few Luftwaffe pilots who survived to fly operationally through the whole of the war period 1939-45. He was one of the highest-scoring pilots with 176 victories, and one of the first to fly the Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter in combat. Steinhoff was decorated with the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords, and later received several foreign awards including the American Legion of Merit and the French Legion of Honour. As a member of Jagdverband-44 (JV-44) Steinhoff was permanently disfigured after receiving major burns across most of his body after crashing his Me-262 after a failed takeoff. Steinhoff retired as a four star general in the new German Air Force at age 59. Steinhoff joined the West German government's Rearmament Office as a consultant on military aviation in 1952 and became one of the principal officials tasked with building the German Air Force during the Cold War. He became the German Military Representative to the NATO Military Committee in 1960, served as Acting Commander Allied Air Forces Central Europe in NATO 1965-1966, as Inspector of the Air Force 1966-1970 and as Chairman of the NATO Military Committee 1971-1974. In retirement, Steinhoff became a widely read author of books on German military aviation during the Second World War and the experiences of the German people at that time. The author, an ace with well over one hundred allied aircraft to his credit, tells of the psychological strain and physical perils that the pilots faced in the battle of attrition. Already handicapped with only one fighter for every 10 allied aircraft, the German pilots of the 77th fighter group were mostly young and unskilled. They were no match for their opponents who were sophisticated and well equipped. Some older pilots survived, but they too were slowly eliminated. By choosing just a few weeks of desperate combat, the author conveys the intensity of a fighter pilot's experience in war, and reveals the thoughts of men committed to trying to retrieve an impossible strategic situation with their skill and bravery. Based on the author's personal World War II diary. An unflinching look at Luftwaffe combat, tactics, and leadership during the campaign for Sicily. A concluding chapter assesses the war's lessons for air forces. In an account of unusual power, Luftwaffe ace Johannes Steinhoff recounts the final days of the German air force on Sicily in June and July 1943. Facing crushing odds--including a commander, Hermann Goering, who contemptuously treated his pilots as cowards--Steinhoff and his fellow Messerschmitt 109 pilots took to the skies day after day to meet waves of dreaded Flying Fortresses and swarms of Allied fighters, all bent on driving the Germans from the island.

Tras una minuciosa recopilación de material historiográfico, Bengoa nos propone este trabajo que recoge historias de heroísmo, de victorias y derrotas parciales, buscando con ello que la palabra silenciada llegue hasta nuestros oídos, en pos de una mayor comprensión del sentido que hay tras la lucha de esta etnia. El libro reconstruye la larga historia del pueblo mapuche poniendo especial énfasis en su último período de vida independiente durante el siglo XIX. Se detalla su organización social y el proceso político y militar que culminó con la ocupación de la Araucanía. Se describe, con el apoyo de importante documentación, lo ocurrido con sus tierras y con su cultura durante las primeras décadas de este siglo. En tal sentido la reedición de este libro viene a ser un acierto, no sólo por la permanente vigencia que este tema tiene para la sociedad chilena, la que no logra dar satisfacción a las demandas y reivindicaciones de un pueblo por su derecho a existir, a preservar y reproducir su cultura, sino porque constituye además un valioso aporte a nuestra historiografía.José Bengoa has systematically researched the issues that have confronted the Mapuche, and today he offers us this corrected edition of the classic work on the history of the Mapuche people. After a meticulous compilation of historiographical material, Bengoa presents a work that collects stories of heroism, of victories and partial defeats, seeking with it that the silenced word reach our ears, in pursuit of a greater understanding of the meaning behind the struggle of this ethnic group. The book reconstructs the long history of the Mapuche people with special emphasis on their last period of independent life during the nineteenth century. Its social organization and the political and military processes that culminated with the occupation of Araucanía are detailed. It describes, on the basis of important documentation, what happened to their lands and their culture during the first decades of this century. In this sense, the reissue of this book is a success, not only because of the permanent validity that this issue has for Chilean society, which fails to satisfy the demands and claims of a people for their right to exist, to preserve and reproduce their culture, but also because it constitutes a valuable contribution to historiography of Chile., LOM Ediciones, 2000, 5, Paperback / softback.
