Free Download The Crisis of Cultural Intelligence: The Anthropology of Civil-Military Operations by David Hyndman, Scott Flower
2019 | ISBN: 9813273631 | English | 268 pages | EPUB | 1 MB
Military and civilian organizations in the past have attempted to understand culture and the cultural environment of conflict zones through anthropology. While there is a small and growing number of studies examining the use of anthropology for counterinsurgency, no studies have compared the Anglo-Saxon ABCA Armies’ approaches to understanding cultural factors for counterinsurgency and civil military-operations.

Free Download Four Years with the Iron Brigade: The Civil War Journals of William R Ray, Co. F, Seventh Wisconsin Infantry By William R Ray, Lance Herdegen, Sherry Murphy
2002 | 446 Pages | ISBN: 0306811197 | EPUB | 7 MB
The recently discovered journal of William Ray of the Seventh Wisconsin is the most important primary source ever of soldier life in one of the war’s most famous fighting organizations. No other collection of letters or diaries comes close to it.Two days before his regiment left Wisconsin in 1861, the twenty-three-year-old blacksmith began, as he described it, "to keep account" of his life in what became the "Iron Brigade of the West." Ray’s journal encompasses all aspects of the enlisted man’s life-the battles, the hardships, the comradeship. And Ray saw most of the war from the front rank. He was wounded at Second Bull Run, again at Gettysburg, and yet a third time in the hell of the Wilderness. He penned something in his journal almost every day-occasionally just a few lines, at other times thousands of words. Ray’s candid assessments of officers and strategy, his vivid descriptions of marches and the fighting, and his evocative tales of foraging and daily army life fill a large gap in the historical record and give an unforgettable soldier’s-eye view of the Civil War.

Free Download Civil Rights and Beyond: African American and Latino/a Activism in the Twentieth-century United States By Brian D. Behnken
2016 | 270 Pages | ISBN: 082034916X | PDF | 2 MB
Civil Rights and Beyond examines the dynamic relationships between African American and Latino/a activists in the United States from the 1930s to the present day. Building on recent scholarship that explores black-Latino/a relations in the United States, this book pushes the timeframe for the study of interactions between blacks and a variety of Latino/a groups beyond the standard chronology of the civil rights era. As such, the book merges a host of community histories–each with their own distinct historical experiences and activisms–to explore group dynamics, differing strategies and activist moments, and the broader quests of these communities for rights and social justice. This book is framed around the concept of "activism," which most fully encompasses the relationships that blacks and Latinos have enjoyed throughout the twentieth century. Wide ranging and pioneering, Civil Rights and Beyond explores black and Latino/a activism from California to Florida, Chicago to Bakersfield–and a host of other communities and cities–to demonstrate the complicated nature of African American-Latino/a activism in the twentieth-century United States.

Free Download Muslim Modernities: Expressions of the Civil Imagination By Amyn B. Sajoo
2008 | 274 Pages | ISBN: 1845118723 | PDF | 2 MB
How does Islam engage with the idea of the modern and with the contemporary world? How is Muslim tradition to be reconciled with a world in continuous flux and change? These questions lie at the heart of current discussions of the Islamic faith and of its doctrines, beliefs and practices. Engaging directly with such questions, this important volume discusses such key themes as identity and citizenship, piety and protest and music and modes of dress. Muslim as well as non-Muslim scholars explore how religiosity and tradition may both have an active role to play in the unfolding of what we understand of as ‘the modern’. Modernity is commonly portrayed as a break with traditionalism: and as a marriage to the secular. Yet the core values at stake – from the ethos of intellectualism to the pluralism of civic culture – have roots in diverse civilizations, and certainly in those of Islam. A vital theme in the book is the role played by the ethical imagination in expressions of the civil determined by a diversity of Qur’anic understandings. This role is important in practices of civil society and citizenship, in grappling with new technologies, and in the challenges posed by political violence. Since 9/11, the West’s failure to come to grips with plural modernities has reinforced simplistic assumptions about a ‘clash of civilizations’. Fresh perspectives are offered here on what it is to be both modern and Muslim, mindful of the multiple narratives that inform both identities.

Guangxi, a region on China’s southern border with Vietnam, has a large population of ethnic minorities and a history of rebellion and intergroup conflict. In the summer of 1968, during the high tide of the Cultural Revolution, it became notorious as the site of the most severe and extensive violence observed anywhere in China during that period of upheaval. Several cities saw urban combat resembling civil war, while waves of mass killings in rural communities generated enormous death tolls. More than one hundred thousand died in a few short months.

Free Download Radio-Electronic Equipment in Civil Aviation: Construction and Maintenance (Springer Aerospace Technology) by Sergey Viktorovich Dvornikov, Alexander Fedotovich Kryachko, Igor Anatolyevich Velmisov
English | December 7, 2022 | ISBN: 9811961980 | 177 pages | MOBI | 1.56 Mb
This book presents the maintenance of radio equipment and the principles of operation of various radio receiving devices in civil aviation. The main feature of this book is the fact that it covers almost all types of radio receivers currently used in radar, communication and navigation equipment of civil aviation. Special attention is paid to ensuring the sensitivity of the receiver, as well as noise suppression under various conditions. A detailed description of the set of methods for receiving signals, especially in the case of frequency telegraphy is presented. This book provides a detailed description of specific methods of signal processing with frequency modulation―the so-called threshold-lowering reception methods based on reducing the bandwidth to the detector part of the private reception path in combination with the principle of negative feedback. The material presented in this book follows a logical sequence with a large amount of illustrations.
