The history of British Islam and British Muslims is a growing area of interest among historians and the general public. But, whilst Muslim women have featured in some research, their lives and experiences prior to the present day have remained obscure, if not "hidden," in both academic and popular discussion. Uncovering Muslim women’s experiences and contributions to society in past generations is essential for us to build a full picture of Muslim life in Britain, then and now.

At the recollections of Gerson Moura’s 20th decease year, the Brazilian society welcomes the results of his brilliant doctoral thesis in an important moment of challenges derived from globalization. It is an essential text in the comprehension of the Brazilian history, during the tough years of World War II and its aftermath; thus, the work enables readers to understand that the decisions of international policy can be made in accordance with human value. Gerson Moura is one of the main references when it comes to Brazilian Foreign Policy and, especially, regarding one of the most traditional bilateral relations of Brazil: the United States. Some expressions coined by Moura in his work, like "autonomy by dependence" or "negotiated alignment", are part of the discipline’s conceptual framework, as if they were intrinsic to it. For translating Brazilian foreign relations in an enriching way, and explaining to students and researchers diversified foreign policy strategies adopted during several governments, Moura is so recognized and acclaimed. In the 20th anniversary of his untimely death, the Alexandre de Gusmão Foundation releases, in Portuguese, his doctoral thesis, presented in 1982 in the UK: "Brazilian foreign relations: 1939-1650 : the changing nature of Brazil-United States relations during and after the Second World War".

Free Download Mark Eaton, "Religion and American Literature Since 1950 "
English | ISBN: 1350123757 | 2020 | 288 pages | EPUB | 724 KB
From Flannery O’Connor and James Baldwin to the post-9/11 writings of Don DeLillo, imaginative writers have often been the most insightful chroniclers of the USA’s changing religious life since the end of World War II. Exploring a wide range of writers from Protestant, Catholic, Jewish and secular faiths, this bookis an in-depth study of contemporary fiction’s engagement with religious belief, identity and practice. Through readings of major writers of our time like Saul Bellow, E. L. Doctorow, Philip Roth, Marilynne Robinson and John Updike, Mark Eaton discovers a more nuanced picture of the varieties of American religious experience: that they are more commonplace than cultural ideas of progressive secularisation or faith-based polarization might suggest.

In June 1950 Communist forces poured across the 38th Parallel (the arbitrary, militarily indefensible line of latitude separating the Communist North from the independent Republic of Korea) to unite the country by force. Three bloody, bitter years of fighting ensued during which the seesawing fortunes of this frustrating war thwarted North Korea’s ambitions while treating the ill-equipped, overconfident UN peacekeeping forces, mostly Americans, no less harshly. Conflict examines the war in all its military, political, and human dimensions: the battles at Pusan Perimeter, at Inchon, at Chosin Reservoir, at Heartbreak Ridge; significant figures like Syngman Rhee, Kim Il Sung, Ridgway, MacArthur, and Truman; controversies like MacArthur’s dismissal, the difficulties of P.O.W. exchanges, and charges of brainwashing and germ warfare; as well as penetrating analyses of the performance of the American soldier, and the war’s effect on the U.S. military and our national psyche. As such, Conflict stands as an unsurpassed, vivid contribution to history.

The torpedo-bomber reached its zenith in World War II, particularly from 1940-42, with notable successes at the Battle of Taranto, the sinking of the Bismarck, and Pearl Harbor. It was the weapon of choice for both the US and Japanese in the big Pacific battles such as Midway. In the latter stages of the war, increasingly effective anti-aircraft fire and interceptor aircraft started to render it obsolete, a process completed post-war by long-range anti-ship missiles.Jean-Denis Lepage traces the development of torpedo bombers worldwide, describing their tactics, operational history and the aircraft themselves, including such well-loved types as the Swordfish, Beaufighter, and Avenger. Over 300 aircraft are beautifully illustrated.
