Free Download Holding Out: The German Army and Operational Command in 1917
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1108830234 | 359 Pages | PDF | 4 MB
This is a ground-breaking study of German operational command during a critical phase of the First World War from November 1916 to the eve of the third battle of Ypres. The situation faced by the German army on the Western Front in 1917 was very different from the one anticipated in pre-war doctrine and Holding Out examines how German commanders and staff officers adapted. Tony Cowan analyses key command tasks to get under the skin of the army’s command culture, internal politics and battle management systems from co-ordinating the troops, matériel and different levels of command needed to fight a modern battle to continuously learning and applying lessons from the ever-changing Western Front. His detailed analysis of the German defeat of the 1917 Entente spring offensive sheds new light on how the army and Germany were able to hold out so long during the war against increasing odds.

Screened Out


Free Download Jean Baudrillard, Chris Turner, "Screened Out"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1781681554, 1859846602 | EPUB | pages: 208 | 1.8 mb
‘Watching the president’s Christmas message produces this necropolar, white-mass sensation. Seeing the video broadcast of the Christmas service in the cathedral itself, with these pathetic screens and the young worshippers slumped around them here and there, you tell yourself that God and religion deserved better. Deserved to die, yes, but not this. However, watching the presidential figure and his sonorous inanity, you tell yourself that here at least you got what you deserved. Chirac is useless – that goes without saying – but so are we all … Uselessness of this kind has no origin: it exists immediately, reciprocally; like a shared secret, you savour it implicitly – with its warm bitterness – particularly in these cold snaps, as the very essence of the social bond. Sanctioned by that other interactive uselessness – the uselessness of the screen.’

Out of the Crucible Literary Works about the Rusticated Youth


Free Download Out of the Crucible: Literary Works about the Rusticated Youth By Zuoya Cao
2003 | 252 Pages | ISBN: 073910506X | PDF | 7 MB
Out of the Crucible offers an informative and inviting study of the novels and short stories of the lives of the zhiqing, the Chinese urban youth who were sent to rural areas during the "rustication" movement in the second phase of the Cultural Revolution. Author Zuoya Cao, a former zhiqing herself, covers the works, authors, themes, characters, and Descriptions of zhiqing literary writing from the late 1970s to the late 1990s. She teases out the significant themes of zhiqing literature: heroism and idealism, suffering and internal transformation, moral dilemmas and the loss of innocence, love and cultural difference, sexual and spiritual oppression, zhiqing/peasant relations, the relationship between man and nature, and the conflict between the desire to leave the countryside and the attachment to it. Through a perceptive analysis of the treatment of these themes, drawing on her extensive knowledge of Chinese literary and social history in addition to her own experiences, Cao reveals the emotional aspects of the rustication movement and the humanistic significance of the zhiqing experience and enriches our understanding of modern Chinese literature and history.

Guitar 1 Start Out Jammin’


Free Download Guitar 1 Start Out Jammin’ by Jerry Jennings
English | November 22, 2017 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B01MTRYHCV | 52 pages | EPUB | 2.60 Mb
Hey, I’m Jerry Jennings. I’ve been teaching guitar for 20+ years. I’ve written what I believe to be the absolute very best beginner book ever, Guitar 1 Start Out Jammin’! It comes with Online YouTube Videos of me explaining each exercise in detail. If you have a guitar and you haven’t played it much for whatever reason, I really believe you can finally get past the beginner stage with this book/videos. Most beginner approaches feel that, in order to be responsible, they must try to teach you how to read at the same time as learning to play. The result? You can only learn songs that fall within your reading ability, "Ok today we’re going to learn Buffalo Gals…" Who wants to spend their time on that? Let’s get right to the jamming (as the name implies).

Life seldom comes with an instruction manual or a guidebook. It’s often messy and unpredictable too. While our education may prepare us for situations covered within its set syllabus, most of life happens outside this realm and this leaves us grappling with questions around work, life and everything in between.
