Yale University Press Postwar Moment: Progressive Forces in Britain, France, and the United States after World War II GTIN: 9780300124354 Raamatud An incisive, comparative study of the development of Post–World War II progressive politics in the United States, Britain, and France After the end of World War II, Britain, France, and the United States were faced with two very different choices: return to the civic order of pre-war normalcy or embark instead on a path of progressive transformation. In this ambitious and original work, Isser Woloch assesses the progressive agendas that crystalized in each of the three allied democracies, tracing their roots in the interwar decades, their development during wartime, the struggles to establish them after the war’s end, and the mixed outcome in each country. A fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, Woloch is a highly regarded scholar who adds the United States to a discussion that is usually focused solely on Europe. His enlightening work successfully argues that the postwar moment deserves a more prominent place in the history of progressive politics.

LSE Press The London Consensus: Economic Principles for the 21st Century A generation ago, the so-called Washington Consensus laid out a series of dos and don'ts for policymakers around the world. Today, that vision is recognised as having fallen short in a number of ways - particularly in its neglect of the social and institutional factors that are indispensable for achieving sustained growth and for building fairer and more cohesive societies.The immense challenges humanity faces are easy to list: climate change, pandemics, social inequalities, the far-reaching effects of the tech revolution and AI, a fragmenting world economy, and a wave of populism and political polarisation that has undermined support for liberal democracy in many countries. It is much harder to identify a set of new ideas - and policies - that will solve these seemingly intractable global problems. In this new world, political leaders and policymakers need guidance and principles that can assist when choosing among policy alternatives. To this end, the editors of this volume convened over 50 of the world's leading economists and policy experts at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). The London Consensus: Economic Principles for the 21st Century is the result of these exchanges. It is not intended as a one-size-fits-all set of economic remedies, but an exercise in assembling the best available evidence and ideas to foster dialogue, and ultimately to develop a set of principles that can address the urgent political, social and economic tasks ahead. | 1 | 61,42 € | Vaata | ||

Südwestdeutscher Verlag für Hochschulschriften Functional traits of salt marsh plants: Responses of morphology- and elemental- based traits to environmental constraints, trait-trait relationships and effects on ecosystem properties This thesis focuses on functional traits of salt marsh plants. Plant traits most responsive to environmental constraints were identified and tested for their applicability to trait-environmental concepts. Trait-trait relationships were investigated and ultimately, the effects of plant traits on ecosystem properties were assessed and the role of biodiversity in the maintenance of those ecosystem properties was highlighted. The study was conducted in salt marshes along the mainland coast of Northwest Germany and on the island of Mellum. The most important findings of this study were that nutrient availability and water-related environmental conditions most strongly influence trait expressions of salt marsh plants. Morphology-based traits were partly different from those of other terrestrial plants and trait-trait relationships of element-based traits were consistent to the findings of other studies. Different plant traits were found to affect different ecosystem properties. Multifunctionality of salt marshes can be ensured by conserving functional diversity via species diversity, and its loss might adversely affect adjacent ecosystems, like the Wadden Sea system. | 1 | 75,27 € | Vaata | ||
Blackstone Publishing The Monks Mindset: Finding Stillness in a World That Wont Stop Moving In The Monk's Mindset, legendary Peloton trainer Sam Yo delivers a first-of-its-kind practical approach to both mindfulness and fitness, merging physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Perfect for fans of Jay Shetty and Thich Nhat Hanh.Sam Yo is well known as Peloton's first Thai-Chinese instructor and fitness coach, reaching more than thirty thousand people per day. His teachings on and off the bike draw from his experience as an ordained Theravāda Buddhist monk in Thailand. In The Monk's Mindset he describes the lessons he learned from ancient traditions and how he adapted them to live a fuller life in our modern world.Throughout the book Sam shares from his own life and the ways in which he found (and continues to find) his purpose through mindfulness, meditation, and fitness. From challenges he experienced growing up as a first-generation immigrant, to his award-winning career on stage and screen before becoming an ordained monk and finally an instructor at Peloton, traveling these different paths has brought Sam to a defining lesson he is eager to share with readers: "I am a disciple of a better me." Each chapter of The Monk's Mindset is tied to the belief that if we adopt the right mindset, we can bring a focused energy to all we do, enhancing all the areas of our life--our relationship to self, to others, and to the communities and world we live in.Most fitness books are grounded in the "Let's Do This" principle without establishing an emotional, mindful, or spiritual tether. In The Monk's Mindset, Sam Yo reworks this principle with a radically alternative stance: "How do we do this?" | 1 | 34,29 € | Vaata | ||
Bodleian Library German Invasion Plans for the British Isles, 1940 GTIN: 9781851243563 Raamatud For years; German military intelligence quietly compiled a dossier of information on Britain. When Hitler gave his generals the order to begin planning a full-scale invasion of Britain in 1940, they were prepared. True to form, the intelligence was exhaustive and astonishingly detailed, with every conceivable (and inconceivable) statistic of use to an invading army, together with an analysis of the military significance of each region and aerial photographs and maps of strategic sites.Here is the book to which Hitler's generals turned when they planned Operation Sea Lion in 1940. Using one of the only surviving copies found by the Allied forces as they invaded Berlin in 1945 - and subsequently acquired by the Bodleian Library - this is the first time this material has been translated into English and edited to make a single volume. “I have decided to prepare for, and if necessary to carry out, an invasion against England.”—Adolph Hitler, July 16, 1940 Operation Sealion was the codename for the Nazi invasion of Britain that Hitler ordered his generals to plan after France fell in June 1940. Although the plan ultimately never came to fruition, a few sets of the Germans’ detailed strategy documents are housed in the rare book rooms of libraries across Europe. But now the Bodleian Library has made documents from their set available for all to peruse in this unprecedented collection of the invasion planning materials.The planned operation would have involved landing 160,000 German soldiers along a forty-mile stretch of coast in southeast England. Packets of reconnaissance materials were put together for the invading forces, and the most intriguing parts are now reproduced here. Each soldier was to be given maps and geographical descriptions of the British Isles that broke down the country by regions, aerial photographs pinpointing strategic targets, an extensive listing of British roads and rivers, strategic plans for launching attacks on each region, an English dictionary and phrase book, and even a brief description of Britain’s social composition.Augmenting the fascinating documents is an informative introduction that sets the materials in their historical and political context. A must-have for every military history buff, German Invasion Plans for the British Isles, 1940 is a remarkable revelation of the inner workings of Hitler’s most famous unrealized military campaign.
