Kriegsmarine Atlantic Command 1939–42


Germany’s legendary Atlantic surface war was fought by Naval Group West. Superbly illustrated, this unpacks the details of how it operated and fought.Having spent the 1930s on an ambitious but confused bid to build a new battle fleet, Germany began World War II woefully unprepared. Under Marinegruppenkommando West, its heavy ships and raiders were tasked with challenging Allied dominance of the Atlantic. In this book, Kriegsmarine specialist Lawrence Paterson explores how Naval Group West took on the challenge. He reassesses the qualities of the fleet, and how the confusion over their original role meant that ships like the Bismarck were less than ideal for raiding. Operating as far afield as the Indian Ocean also relied on an elaborate tanker and supply network, as well as Germany’s superb signals intelligence. He also explains the complex Kriegsmarine command structure during the 1930s and early war, how responsibility for the ships veered between Naval Group West, the Naval Staff, and type commanders, and how the conquest of France transformed the command. He also explains how the Luftwaffe failed the surface fleet, both in scouting at sea and defending them in port.With superb artwork, 3D diagrams, maps and archive photos, this book explores and assesses Germany’s commerce war, from the Graf Spee’s cruise to the ill-fated exploits of Bismarck, and the final high-risk retreat from Brest, the Channel Dash.

Szent István és utódai


Thoroczkay Gábornak (1971), a budapesti Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem Középkori Történeti Tanszéke docensének, doktoriprogram-vezetőjének, az Árpád-kori magyar történelem és a magyar őstörténet neves kutatójának tanulmánykötete Szent István király és utódai állam- és egyházszervező tevékenységével ismerteti meg az olvasót. A kötet javarészét Szent István Kárpát-medencei keresztény egyházkormányzatot megalapozó tetteinek tárgyalása teszi ki, de ugyanilyen hangsúlyt kap az István király életútját - három szentéletrajza közül a legbővebben - bemutató Hartvik-féle legenda. Mindezek mellett érdekes szempontokat kínálnak a magyar Árpád-kor kutatásának történetét felvázoló, a múlt neves történészeinek gondolatait, vitáit megelevenítő írások is. A hazai szakmai közvélemény által már jól ismert tanulmányok e kötetben való közlését indokolja két, joggal szélsőségnek minősíthető álláspont megjelenése: egyfelől az Árpád-kor vizsgálatában feltűnő műkedvelő, a tudományos középtől messze távolodó megközelítések felerősödése, másfelől a külföldről érkező, a Szent István-i állam- és egyházalapítást posztmodern szempontok alapján kikezdő, megkérdőjelező álláspontok napvilágra kerülése.

Navigating Local Transitional Justice


In post-war Sierra Leone, a range of transitional justice mechanisms were implemented to address experiences of conflict, violence, and human rights violations. Much of the research on local transitional justice processes has focused on the work of organisations, failing to acknowledge how individual and communal dynamics shape and are shaped by these programs. Drawing on original fieldwork in Sierra Leone, Laura S. Martin moves beyond discussions measuring effectiveness and considers how people navigate their circumstances in conflict and post-conflict societies. Developing the idea of recognised and unrecognised transitional justice processes, Martin uses Fambul Tok as an example of a recognised local transitional justice program and shows how ordinary Sierra Leoneans appropriated Fambul Tok''s agenda for their own purposes. Ultimately, this book highlights the crucial role of agency and the diverse range of actors involved in transitional justice processes. Justice, as Martin powerfully argues, is not something that happens to or for people, but is enacted by individuals and communities.

Imperial Incarceration


For nineteenth-century Britons, the rule of law stood at the heart of their constitutional culture, and guaranteed the right not to be imprisoned without trial. At the same time, in an expanding empire, the authorities made frequent resort to detention without trial to remove political leaders who stood in the way of imperial expansion. Such conduct raised difficult questions about Britain''s commitment to the rule of law. Was it satisfied if the sovereign validated acts of naked power by legislative forms, or could imperial subjects claim the protection of Magna Carta and the common law tradition? In this pathbreaking book, Michael Lobban explores how these matters were debated from the liberal Cape, to the jurisdictional borderlands of West Africa, to the occupied territory of Egypt, and shows how and when the demands of power undermined the rule of law. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

African Military Politics in the Sahel


Challenging western and francocentric accounts of military interventions in the Sahel, Katharina P. W. Döring foregrounds the response of African regional organizations to armed violence since 2012. Based on extensive empirical research, she reconstructs the experiences of African intervenors in planning and deploying missions in the region. The book outlines the complex constellation of actors who shape African military politics, including presidents, diplomats, and bureaucrats. Drawing upon insights from critical geography, Döring considers the oft-neglected role that space ? at once relational and changing ? plays in the power dynamics of the region. In so doing, she offers a fresh perspective on military deployments and their politics. Amidst the current resurgence of nationalist geopolitics, this study and its ?ndings have far-reaching implications for the analysis of military politics in Africa and beyond.

Pszichotalpaló


"A pszichológiai ismeretek széles körű terjedése ellenére nap mint nap azzal szembesülök a praxisomban, a social médiában vagy előadásaim kapcsán, hogy az emberek ismerete általában felszínesnek mondható a pszichológia elméleti és gyakorlati kérdéseiben. E könyv megírásával célom az volt, hogy tudományos igényességgel, de mégis gyakorlatias és jól érthető módon közelítsem meg azokat a témákat, amelyek a legtöbb ember számára relevánsak a hétköznapi életben. Olyan univerzális egzisztencialista témákkal is foglalkozom, mint a halál, a szenvedés értelme, a szabad akarat és a felelősség kérdése. A pszichikus jelenségeket holisztikus szemléletben értelmezem, így helyet kapnak genetikai, biológiai, idegélettani, pszichés, szociális, kulturális és spirituális magyarázó elvek a személyiségfejlődés és a pszichés betegségek kialakulása kapcsán. A könyv útmutatóul szolgálhat azoknak is, akik szenvednek és segítséget keresnek, hiszen támpontot kaphatnak arra vonatkozólag, hogy mi történik bennük, és hol érdemes keresni további segítséget." /Németh Bence/

Meghalok én is?


"Mit teszünk, mit tehetünk, ha a gyermek kopogtat a titkok kapuján?" Ha például egy hozzátartozója elvesztésével vagy esetleg a saját közelgő halálával kell szembesülnie? Ha bármilyen egyéb okból kérdés merül fel benne a halállal kapcsolatban? Egyáltalán, miért övezi titok a halált? Miért lett tabu belőle napjainkra? Polcz Alaine pszichológusként, tanatológusként és a Hospice Alapítvány létrehozójaként a téma avatott ismerőjének, elismert szaktekintélyének számít. Ebben a könyvében saját klinikai tapasztalatait osztja meg, esetleírásokat, interjúkat közöl, amelyeket azután kommentál, elemez. Mivel tudása mellett empátiája is megkérdőjelezhetetlen, könyve amellett, hogy hiánypótló mű, valódi segítséget képes nyújtani ebben a nehéz helyzetben. Mert kétségtelenül nehéz ez a helyzet. Mégis fontos és megkerülhetetlen az ezzel való foglalkozás. Ugyanakkor kevesen képesek szembenézni a halál kérdésével, márpedig enélkül a válaszadás sem lehetséges. Ez a könyv arra vállalkozik, hogy megkönnyítse a válaszokat és ezzel tulajdonképpen az elfogadhatatlan elfogadását is

Mandatory Madness


Mandatory Madness offers a new perspective on a pivotal period in the history of modern Palestine, by putting mental illness and the psychiatric encounters it engendered at the heart of the story. Through a careful and creative reading of an eclectic mix of archival and published material, Mandatory Madness reveals how a range of actors - British colonial officials, Zionist health workers, Arab doctors and nurses, and Palestinian families - responded to mental illness in the decades before 1948. Rather than a concern of European Jewish psychiatric experts alone, questions around the causes, nature, and treatment of mental illness were negotiated across diverse and sometimes surprising sites in mandate Palestine: not only in underfunded and overcrowded government mental hospitals and private Jewish clinics, certainly, but also in family homes and neighbourhood streets, in colonial courtrooms and prisons and census offices, and in the itineraries of shaykhs and patients alike as they crossed newly drawn borders within the Levant. Bringing together histories of medicine, colonialism, and the modern Middle East, Mandatory Madness highlights how the seemingly personal and private matter of mental illness generated distinctive forms of entanglement: between colonial state and society, Arabs and Jews, and Palestine and the wider region.

Over Cold War Seas


Michael Napier describes the naval air power deployed by NATO, Warsaw Pact and neutral countries throughout the Cold War.In 1949, an Iron Curtain was drawn across Europe, and the Cold War that ensued between the Western North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries and the Soviet-dominated Warsaw Pact lasted through to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. NATO and Warsaw Pact naval forces spread over the world’s oceans, and the powerful forces of the US Navy’s Second Fleet patrolled the North Atlantic, while the Sixth Fleet was positioned in the Mediterranean. The age of the nuclear-powered supercarrier arrived in 1957 with the USS Forrestal, while the Soviet Union’s first aircraft carrier, the Kiev, was commissioned in 1975.In Over Cold War Seas, respected aviation author Michael Napier examines the naval air power of the major combatant forces as it developed from 1949 through to 1989. All the major naval aircraft types are covered, both fixed wing and helicopters, which entered service in the 1950s for light transport or rescue duties and evolved into multi-purpose machines capable of performing anti-submarine and airborne early warning missions. This detailed text is supported by a wide range of first-hand accounts of operational flying during the Cold War, as well as over 220 high-quality, contemporary images.

Science for Governing Japan's Population


Twenty-first-century Japan is known for the world''s most aged population. Faced with this challenge, Japan has been a pioneer in using science to find ways of managing a declining birth rate. Science for Governing Japan''s Population considers the question of why these population phenomena have been seen as problematic. What roles have population experts played in turning this demographic trend into a government concern? Aya Homei examines the medico-scientific fields around the notion of population that developed in Japan from the 1860s to the 1960s, analyzing the role of the population experts in the government''s effort to manage its population. She argues that the formation of population sciences in modern Japan had a symbiotic relationship with the development of the neologism, ''population'' (jinko), and with the transformation of Japan into a modern sovereign power. Through this history, Homei unpacks assumptions about links between population, sovereignty, and science. This title is also available as Open Access.

A Paradise Built in Hell


How do we respond to disaster? What expressions of care and solidarity might we find among the debris? A Paradise Built in Hell is a study of five major disasters - the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the Halifax explosion of 1917, the Mexico City earthquake of 1985, the 9/11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina - and the expressions of altruism, generosity and resourcefulness that emerged in the wake of these tragedies. The result is a sweeping history of some of the foundational events in the modern history of North America, and a meditation on community: challenging us to look afresh at society, and what these models of local, collaborative politics might look like carried through into everyday life.

Eagle Days


By the summer of 1940, Great Britain watched as France succumbed to the might of Adolf Hitler’s forces. Her forces driven off the continent, many rescued from capture at Dunkirk, only the Royal Air Force, supported by the country’s newly established radar system, now stood in the way of the country being invaded. Herman Goering had promised his Fuhrer his air force would sweep the British skies of all opposition to allow Operation Sea Lion, the invasion of southern England, to commence. The intense aerial combat over the coming months across the English Channel and the countryside of southeast England would not reflect the optimism of Nazi propaganda.Researching and blending a diverse range of primary sources together (Luftwaffe air crews’ personal letters and diaries), with official combat reports, and contemporary German newspapers, Victoria Taylor weaves a rich, multifaceted tapestry of the military, political, social and cultural influences that shaped the German air force’s mentality and morale during the Battle of Britain.Eagle Days transforms the Luftwaffe’s historical role during the RAF’s ‘Finest Hour’ from a cartoonish antagonist to a multidimensional, flawed-yet-formidable opponent. The narrative contains not just the voices of the air crews who conducted the fighting, but uniquely never-before-translated primary source material of other contemporary eyewitnesses, (Luftwaffe’s paratroopers, anti-aircraft gunners and air signalmen). Eagle Days will offer all fans of this period a refreshing, comprehensive and exciting new account of the Luftwaffe’s real experiences during the Battle of Britain.

Philosophy of Mathematics from the Pythagoreans to Euclid


This Element looks at the very beginning of the philosophy of mathematics in Western thought. It covers the first reflections on attempts to untie mathematics from its practical usage in administration, commerce, and land-surveying and discusses the first ideas to see mathematical structures as constituents underlying the physical world in the Pythagoreans. The first two sections focus on the epistemic status of mathematical knowledge in relation to philosophical knowledge and on the various ontological positions ancient Greek philosophers in early and classical times ascribe to mathematical objects – from independent and separate entities to mere abstractions and idealisations. Section 3 discusses the paradigmatic role mathematical deductions have played for philosophy, the role of mathematical diagrams, and mathematical methods of interest for philosophers. Section 4, finally, investigates a couple of individual concepts that are fundamental for both philosophy and mathematics, such as infinity.
