The 105-day war between Finland and the Soviet Union in the winter of 1939-1940 has been overshadowed by the larger conflicts of the Second World War which followed closely after it. The courageous resistence of the only neighbor of Stalin's Russia which fought the Red Army and survived as a free and independent nation merits this closer look.Although the diplomatic background of the Winter War has been covered before, this is the first substantial English-language study of its dramatic military encounters.

Understanding = Mastery! Knowing the abilities and limitations of the minor pieces is very valuable for mastering the secrets of the royal game, and this can be studied best in the endgame. It is essential to understand the management of the long-range bishop, albeit confined to one color, as well as the short-range, ubiquitous knight. This book is the second volume in the authors' acclaimed Understanding Endgames series. It follows a dual philosophy, like their previous work, Understanding Rook Endgames. It deals with seven-piece minor-piece endings in some detail. These endgames are often so deep that pre-tablebase analysis almost always contained errors. Many new discoveries are revealed here. In addition, the authors emphasize the important five- and six-piece endings every club player should know. But to really understand minor piece endings, these theoretical positions are of course not enough. Sub-chapters on the principles of each material configuration have therefore been added. Understanding Minor Piece Endgames will take you a long way to mastering these important endings. "Having had the pleasure to preview this book, I can tell you that you are in for a treat. Careful study of this book will benefit your chess immensely..." From the Foreword by GM Jacob Aagaard

En este revelador e imprescindible libro del profesor Frederick C. Beiser, escrito con tanta sencillez como hondura, el lector podrá introducirse en las sendas filosóficas -aún hoy poco conocidas- que se originaron tras la estela de Schopenhauer, de la mano de autores como Philipp Mainländer, Eduard von Hartmann o Julius Bahnsen, todos ellos de ascendencia pesimista, así como en la crítica que las mismas suscitaron entre otros pensadores, como Eugen Dühring o los neokantianos. Un libro irremplazable, riguroso y original que analiza uno de los periodos más intensos y novedosos de la historia de la filosofía moderna y contemporánea, el del llamado æpesimismo filosóficoÆ.o de una necesidad histórica que expresa un fenómeno político: en el año 1968 la revolución no ocurrió en un solo lugar, en un solo territorio, sino que sucedió en todas partes (Daniel Bernabé).un torbellino de modernidades que zarandeó todos los ámbitos de la vida ciudadana. La neutralidad mantenida por los gobiernos españoles durante la Primera Guerra Mundial facilitó el crecimiento capitalista, el impacto de la revolución soviética de 1917 reforzó los antagonismos políticos y culturales, se gestó la polarización entre fascismo y comunismo que estalló en la siguiente década de 1930, mientras el reformismo democratizador se abría paso con agotadoras dificultades. En ese contexto de múltiples contiendas, las culturas de vanguardias artísticas abrieron horizontes de rupturas creativas cuyas experiencias impactaron entre decisivos grupos sociales.
