The federated Iroquois tribes were absolutely central to the long struggle between the British colonists in eastern North America, and the French and their client tribes. They fought many exciting frontier campaigns, and were generally loyal allies of the British for 200 years from the late 16th century. They provided the redcoats and colonial militias with an invaluable scouting and raiding element, right up to the end of the American War of Independence in 1782, when the Mohawks trekked to new lands they were given in Canada by a grateful Crown. The Iroquois had a rich and individual material culture which is beautifully illustrated in this book.

"Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital" presents a novel interpretation of the good and bad times in the economy, taking a long-term perspective and linking technology and finance in an original and convincing way. Carlota Perez draws upon Schumpeter's theories of the clustering of innovations to explain why each technological revolution gives rise to a paradigm shift and a "New Economy" and how these "opportunity explosions", focused on specific industries, also lead to the recurrence of financial bubbles and crises. These findings are illustrated with examples from the past two centuries: the industrial revolution, the age of steam and railways, the age of steel and electricity, the emergence of mass production and automobiles, and the current information revolution/knowledge society. By analyzing the changing relationship between finance capital and production capital during the emergence, diffusion and assimilation of new technologies throughout the global economic system, this book sheds light on some of the most pressing economic problems of today.
One of the most famous regiments of Napoleon's cavalry, the (Dutch) 2nd Light Horse Lancers of the Imperial Guard were universally known as the Red Lancers from their scarlet uniforms. They distinguished themselves in Russia 1812, at terrible cost; were rebuilt stronger than ever, and fought in the 1813-14 German and French campaigns; and rallied to Napoleon in 1815, charging the British squares at Waterloo. This book covers their organisation, uniforms, weapons and tactics in detail. It is based on surviving regimental documents, and rare private diaries and portraits in European family archives.
Synonymous with the Afrika Korps and the campaign in North Africa, JG 27 provided Rommel's army with fighter protection for virtually the whole 'roller coaster ride that was the war in the Western Desert from 1941-43. Formed in Germany on 1 October 1939 (with Adolf Galland as CO of I.Gruppe), JG 27 saw considerable action both during the Battles of France and Britain, downing 146 aircraft in the latter campaign alone. Sent to North Africa in April 1941, the geschwader had an immediate impact on the campaign, which had up until then been dominated by the Allies. The third volume in the Aviation Elite series on a German fighter geschwader, this book will once again prove popular with Luftwaffe enthusiasts and hobbyists alike.

Alors que la fortification des frontières du Nord-Est est pratiquement achevée, l’Etat-Major décide d’ériger le long de la frontière allemande une série de postes bétonnés avancés connus sous le nom de maisons fortes. Chargés de donner l’alerte en cas d’attaque brusquée et de faire jouer des destructions sur les axes de pénétration vers la ligne fortifiée, ces organes sont alors pleinement justifiés. En 1937, le Commandement se propose de faire construire le même genre de maisons fortes le long d’une partie de la frontière belge, en rive droite de la Meuse. Vingt-deux maisons fortes vont ainsi voir le jour, de Carignan à Hautes-Rivières. Situées derrière un pays neutre, elles présentent beaucoup moins d’intérêt que celles implantées le long de la frontière allemande et leur rôle pendant la drôle de guerre va se limiter à celui de postes frontière. Intégrées dans le plan de repli de la Cavalerie après sa mission en Belgique, elles vont s’avérer totalement inutiles en raison du rythme plus rapide que prévu des opérations. Abandonnées sans combat à une exception près, elles ne joueront aucun rôle en mai 1940 et auront vraiment été « des sentinelles inutiles ».Elles n’en demeurent pas moins des témoins de cette période que le temps commence à faire disparaître. C’est pour éviter qu’elles disparaissent totalement des mémoires qu’il nous a semblé utile de les faire revivre au travers de cet ouvrage illustré de 225 photos et d’une quarantaine de cartes et plans.
The runic alphabet, in use for well over a thousand years, was employed by various Germanic groups in a variety of ways, including, inevitably, for superstitious and magical rites. Formulaic runic words were inscribed onto small items that could be carried for good luck; runic charms were carved on metal or wooden amulets to ensure peace or prosperity. There are invocations and allusions to pagan and Christian gods and heroes, to spirits of disease, and even to potential lovers. Few such texts are completely unique to Germanic society, and in fact, most of the runic amulets considered in this book show wide-ranging parallels from a variety of European cultures. The question of whether runes were magical or not has divided scholarship in the area. Early criticism embraced fantastic notions of runic magic - leading not just to a healthy scepticism, but in some cases to a complete denial of any magical element whatsoever in the runic inscriptions. This book seeks to re-evaulate the whole question of runic sorcery, attested to not only in the medieval Norse literature dealing with runes but primarily in the fascinating magical texts of the runic inscriptions themselves.

Children grieve in different ways from adults and therefore need alternative strategies to help them through their grief. This text shows how reading fiction, a process termed bibliotherapy, can help.
L’auteur et les Editions Heimdal se sont associés pour présenter deux ouvrages consacrés aux armes et armures du Moyen Âge à la Renaissance, thème classique pourtant rarement abordé en français ces dernières années. Cet ensemble est issu d’une réflexion partagée, renouvelant certaines théories à propos de la culture matérielle, et tirant le meilleur des recherches archéologiques et historiques de ces dernières années. S’aidant de l’expertise de collègues et confrères, l’auteur s’est appuyé sur des contributions issues des travaux de recherche les plus récents, l’ouvrage est donc aussi le reflet d’une communauté d’historiens et de chercheurs à ce sujet. Ce premier volume aborde le corps armé au début du Moyen Âge, entre le VIe et le XIIe siècle, la période mérovingienne jusqu’aux premières croisades. C’est une période charnière pour le corps des combattants qui débouchera ensuite sur une série d’innovations conduisant aux armures complètes articulées qui caractériseront la fin des périodes médiévales en Europe. Les princes de la Renaissance se couvriront ensuite de ces carapaces technologiques pour affirmer leur statut martial " à la dernière mode”, tout en s’inspirant souvent de l’antique, relayant une tradition qui traverse tout le Moyen Âge. L’ouvrage est enrichi d’une iconographie foisonnante, qui comprend des photos de haute qualité réalisées lors d’études ou de collaborations avec des institutions qui le conservent, illustrant des objets rarement publiés. Ses pages présentent de magnifiques photos de troupes de reconstitution les plus récentes. On y trouve également des témoignages des activités des artisans les plus impliqués dans l’étude expérimentable des méthodes de production des armes et armures anciennes, et des arts des forgerons du Moyen Âge, qui restent parfois encore des énigmes à nos yeux. Cet ouvrage ouvre une nouvelle fenêtre sur ces savoirs et ces mondes anciens.

Lately, our nations strategy for improving our schools is mostly limited to getting tough with teachers. Blaming teachers for poor outcomes, we spend almost all of our energy trying to control teachers behavior and school operations. But what if all of this is exactly the opposite of what is needed? What if teachers are the answer and not the problem? What if trusting teachers, and not controlling them, is the key to school success? Examining the experiences of teachers who are already trusted to call the shots, this book answers: What would teachers do if they had the autonomy not just to make classroom decisions, but to collectivelywith their colleaguesmake the decisions influencing whole school success? Decisions such as school curriculum, how to allocate the school budget, and whom to hire. Teachers with decision-making authority create the schools that many of us profess to want. They individualize learning. Their students are active (not passive) learners who gain academic and life skills. The teachers create school cultures that are the same as those in high-performing organizations. They accept accountability and innovate, and make efficient use of resources. These promising results suggest: its time to trust teachers.
