EUROHIP by Karsten E. Dreinhöfer,Paul Dieppe,Klaus-Peter Günther,Wolfhart Puhl Pdf

Peace, War and the European Powers, 1814–1914 by Christopher John Bartlett Pdf

The causes of war have tended to attract more attention than the causes of peace, yet the two are intimately related, Indeed there was much talk of war during the unprecedentedly long periods of peace between the European great powers in the years 1815-1854 and again in 1871-1914, the Near Eastern crises of 1878 and 1887-8 being only two of the more notable examples. In the case of the latter, there occurred a spell of fatalistic and belligerent talk in both Berlin and Vienna which in many ways anticipated that which gripped those capitals by 1914. A study of the whole question of the best methods by which to defend and advance the national interest is often more illuminating on why wars were avoided that are studies of the documentation surrounding the Holy Alliance, the congress system or the Concert of Europe. It is clear that the Concert tended to become most active only after a war had already been fought, or when the powers had already decided that conflict was likely to prove too costly, dangerous and unpredicatable in its effects both at home and abroad. Thus the Russians twice advanced almost to the gates of Constantinople only to recoil at the implications of trying to obtain control of the Straits. Similarly, Habsburg thoughts of war were frequently neutralised by reminders of financial weakness. This valuable book will be welcomed by anyone wishing to understand the nature of European state relations in the nineteenth century. Professor Bartlett examines why major wars did happen and did not happen, with particular attention being paid to the events of 1914.

Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity in Childhood and Adolescence by W. Kiess,M. Wabitsch,C. Maffeis,A.M. Sharma Pdf

Despite the fact that the prevalence of obesity in early childhood has been stable and is no longer increasing in many developed and industrialized countries, the incidence of both obesity and full-blown metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents is still very high. Obesity is a major disease burden in all societies and needs to be prevented early in life. New approaches are eagerly sought and absolutely necessary. This book presents a comprehensive and state-of-the-art summary of current and new knowledge in this critical field. Crucial issues such as nutrition and genetics are described in detail. In addition, new ideas such as e-health and the consequences of urban living conditions are explored. Last but not least, modern treatment concepts and prevention even at an early age are competently discussed. Offering a valuable update on new developments in obesity research and the treatment in children and adolescents, this book is essential reading for all pediatricians and health-care professionals who look after young patients on a regular basis.

Sweden in the Seventeenth Century by Paul Lockhart Pdf

The history of Sweden in the seventeenth century is perhaps one of the most remarkable political success stories of early modern Europe. Little more than a century after achieving independence from Denmark, Sweden - an impoverished and sparsely-populated state - had defeated all of its most fearsome enemies and was ranked amongst the great powers of Europe. In this book, which incorporates the latest research on the subject, Paul Douglas Lockhart: - Surveys the political, diplomatic, economic, social and cultural history of the country, from the beginnings of its career as an empire to its decline at the end of the seventeenth century - Examines the mechanisms that helped Sweden to achieve the status of a great power, and the reasons for its eventual downfall - Emphasises the interplay between social structure, constitutional development, and military necessity Clear and well-written, Lockhart's text is essential reading for all those with an interest in the fascinating history of early modern Sweden.

Gorbachev and His Revolution by Mark Galeotti Pdf

By turns radical, uncertain, ambitious, and autocratic, Mikhail Gorbachev in his bid to reform the Soviet Union has shaped the contemporary world. In 1985, he set out to modernize the Soviet state and revive his Communist Party. Instead, by the end of 1991, the USSR had fragmented and the Party was banned. Institutions which had survived for 70 years, notwithstanding Stalin's murderous purges and the Nazi war machine, proved unable to survive his well-meant reforms.

Through The Eyes Of Madness by G. D. Garner Pdf

Through The Eyes Of Madness is one of the most compelling and unique books ever written. It is an incredible autobiographical account of a modern day adventurer who was driven to madness when he lost the women of his dreams. GD Garner is publishing his incredible tale in an effort to raise money to help families in need on each of the seven Continents. Simply put this man is a modern day Davinci. From the incredible artwork in his personal journals to the studies of science, life and architecture that can be seen in his sketches and paintings it is clear that this is no ordinary man. On the surface his book is an incredible Adventure biography that is absolutely impossible to set down. Below the surface however the book has some of the most unique and rewarding surprises and layers ever published. For starters GD has encrypted his personal journals with artistic and mathematical codes that lead the readers to physical clues he has hidden on each of the seven continents. The eccentric entrepreneur does not say exactly what these clues lead to but the inference is of something quite substantial. The book itself is littered with codes, clues and hidden messages as well of hundreds of pieces of GD s artwork and photography from around the world. The story follows a once hugely successful businessman on a five year trip across all seven continents as he strips himself of all of his worldly possessions in search of the meaning to life. Jobless homeless and with only what he can carry on his back GD travels from the Heights of Mt. Everest to the lows of Death Valley. His journey extends North of the Artic Circle and South of the Antarctic pass. The chapters are richly detailed with death, murder and real life adventure as GD continually puts himself in situations that are seemingly un survivable. But the book is far from just an adventure junky read. Each chapter contains an emotional life lesson that lets you see a grown man transform before your very eyes. It is a real life National Treasure, Indiana Jones and the Davinci Code roled into one. Not only is it an amazingly rich and textured account of GD Garners fall from the pinnacle of a perfect life but it also follows him on an incredible journey that most people can only dream about.

Queering the Migrant in Contemporary European Cinema by James S. Williams Pdf

This exciting and original volume offers the first comprehensive critical study of the recent profusion of European films and television addressing sexual migration and seeking to capture the lives and experiences of LGBTIQ+ migrants and refugees. Queering the Migrant in Contemporary European Cinema argues that embodied cinematic representations of the queer migrant, even if at times highly ambivalent and contentious, constitute an urgent new repertoire of queer subjectivities and socialities that serve to undermine the patrolled borders of gender and sexuality, nationhood and citizenship, and refigure or queer fixed notions and universals of identity like ‘Europe’ and national belonging based on the model of the family. At stake ethically and politically is the elaboration of a ‘transborder’ consciousness and aesthetics that counters the homonationalist, xenophobic and homo/trans-phobic representation of the ‘migrant to Europe’ figure rooted in the toxic binaries of othering (the good vs bad migrant, host vs guest, indigenous vs foreigner). Bringing together 16 contributors working in different national film traditions and embracing multiple theoretical perspectives, this powerful and timely collection will be of major interest to both specialists and students in Film and Media Studies, Gender and Queer Studies, Migration/Mobility Studies, Cultural Studies, and Aesthetics.
