Nixon's trident: Naval Power in Southeast Asia, 1968-1972
This book focuses on the three prongs of the naval trident that President Nixon wielded during the final years of the Vietnam War: naval air power, naval bombardment, and mine warfare. For much of this period, Navy aircraft sought to hamper the flow of supplies down the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos-a huge investment in air power resources that ultimately proved fruitless. After North Vietnam's invasion of the South in 1972, however, Navy tactical aviation, as well as naval bombardment, proved critical not only in blunting the offensive but also in persuading North Vietnam to arrive at a peace agreement in Paris in 1973. For the first time in the war, the Navy was also authorized to close Haiphong Harbor and North Vietnam's other ports with naval mines-an operation that still stands out as a textbook example of how mine warfare can inflict a major economic and psychological blow on the enemy with minimal casualties for either side. Thus, naval power was indispensible to ending America's longest war. -- Provided by publisher.
Der Fahrende Schüler als prekärer Typus
Fahrende Schüler und Scholaren des Mittelalters erwecken die Vorstellung junger, lustiger Wandersleute. Doch dieser Zusammenhang erweist sich als Imagination, die auf lange wirkmächtigen literarischen Traditionen beruht. Nachdem der ‚Fahrende Schüler‘ als historischer Mythos enttarnt und in die Zuständigkeit der Literaturgeschichte verschoben wurde, fragt die Studie weniger nach der historischen Existenz studentischer Mobilität als nach ihren narrativen Formen und Funktionen. Den Ausgangspunkt der Untersuchung markiert ein Stereotyp, das sich im frühneuzeitlichen Gauner- und Bettlerdiskurs manifestiert. Als literarisches Muster ist es jedoch bereits im Mittelalter sichtbar, z. B. i...

Feminist Debates
Are women still oppressed? Is paid employment the key to liberation? Should pornography be banned? Do women have an absolute right to abortion? Can women in government really make a difference? This book draws on a wide range of theoretical, empirical and comparative material to provide a lucid account of feminist debates and the ways in which political disagreements stem from underlying theoretical assumptions. Clear and balanced in its assessment of different problems and perspectives, it offers an essential guide to contemporary feminist thinking and practice.

Normative Discourse and Persuasion
A study of the discourse of Ga'dang, a Philippine language, focuses on normative discourse and persuasion, especially the ways in which the former is used to accomplish the latter. The first five chapters outline the theoretical framework of the study, placing normative and persuasive discourse in a philosophical context and relating them to the fields of cognitive science, to neuropsychology, and to the study of the consequences of literacy to provide an explanation for the substantial differences between Ga'dang normative discourse and that of Western society. The conciliatory nature of dispute settlement in Ga'dang is examined in relation to the sociology or ethnology of law and social co...
Ulrich von Lilienfeld - 'Das zwölfjährige Mönchlein'
With some 5000 articles, the 'Lexicon of Authors' presents the whole of medieval German literature. The work carries on from the first edition (1933-1955); it is, however, broader in scope and has been completely reworked by international scholars to represent (and often to establish) the present state of research. The dictionary contains all known authors writing in German, many authors writing in Latin, and prominent anonymous works.
The Making of Modern Economics
Here is a bold history of economics - the dramatic story of how the great economic thinkers built today's rigorous social science. Noted financial writer and economist Mark Skousen has revised and updated this popular work to provide more material on Adam Smith and Karl Marx, and expanded coverage of Joseph Stiglitz, 'imperfect' markets, and behavioral economics.This comprehensive, yet accessible introduction to the major economic philosophers of the past 225 years begins with Adam Smith and continues through the present day. The text examines the contributions made by each individual to our understanding of the role of the economist, the science of economics, and economic theory. To make the work more engaging, boxes in each chapter highlight little-known - and often amusing - facts about the economists' personal lives that affected their work.
Crisis in the European Monetary Union
After decades of economic integration and EU enlargement, the economic geography of Europe has shifted, with new peripheries emerging and the core showing signs of fragmentation. This book examines the paths of the core and peripheral countries, with a focus on their diverse productive capabilities and their interdependence. Crisis in the European Monetary Union: A Core-Periphery Perspective provides a new framework for analysing the economic crisis that has shaken the Eurozone countries. Its analysis goes beyond the short-term, to study the medium and long-term relations between ‘core’ countries (particularly Germany) and Southern European ‘peripheral’ countries. The authors argue that long-term sustainability means assigning the state a key role in guiding investment, which in turn implies industrial policies geared towards diversifying, innovating and strengthening the economic structures of peripheral countries to help them thrive. Offering a fresh angle on the European crisis, this volume will appeal to students, academics and policymakers interested in the past, present and future construction of Europe.
