Eighteenth-Century Naval Officers
This book surveys the lives and careers of naval officers across Europe at the height of the age of sail. It traces the professionalization of naval officers by exploring their preparation for life at sea and the challenges they faced while in command. It also demonstrates the uniqueness of the maritime experience, as long voyages and isolation at sea cemented their bond with naval officers across Europe while separating them from landlubbers. It depicts, in a way no previous study has, the parameters of their shared experiences—both the similarities that crossed national boundaries and connected officers, and the differences that can only be seen from an international perspective.
Dimensiones del conflicto: resistencia, violencia y policía en el mundo urbano
Dimensiones del conflicto: resistencia, violencia y policía en el mundo urbano ofrece una galería de expresiones del conflicto y de formas de recomposición del mismo en contextos diversos, entre el Antiguo Régimen y las sociedades liberales. La perspectiva transfronteriza y comparativa que se adopta en esta obra ofrece una panorámica contrastada sobre las concreciones del conflicto y el orden, sobre los factores, discursos, imaginarios y actores que participaron en los procesos de cambio histórico a través de la resistencia, la violencia y la policía en los espacios urbanos de este amplio periodo histórico. Con un enfoque multidisciplinar, este libro se abre, así, a una reflexión global sobre el conflicto, la disciplina y la paz pública en las ciudades; considera un amplio encuadre espacial, que conecta experiencias europeas y otras de Asia y América y, al mismo tiempo, ofrece una panorámica diacrónica, que analiza las transiciones hacia la modernidad.
Asian Histories and Heritages in Video Games
This book explores the representations of national Asian histories in digital games. Situated at the intersection of regional game studies and historical game studies, this book offers chapters on histories and heritages of Japan, China, Iran, Iraq, Taiwan, South Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, Turkey, and Russia. The volume looks beyond the diversity of the local histories depicted in games, and the audience reception of these histories, to show a diversity of approaches which can be used in examining historical games– from postcolonialism to identity politics to heritage studies. It demonstrates various methodological approaches to historical/regional game studies: case studies of nationall...
LA GUERRA DI SARDEGNA E DI SICILIA 1717-1720 vol. 2/2. GLI ESERCITI CONTRAPPOSTI
Nella trattazione, in tre parti, delle vicende che ebbero luogo nelle isole di Sardegna e di Sicilia tra il 1717 ed il 1720 si presenterà lo svolgersi delle operazioni militari che videro contrapposti l’esercito e la marina spagnola e quelli austriaci e sabaudi e un’analisi delle forze militari impiegate. Filippo V Borbone, Re di Spagna, non si era rassegnato alla situazione che si era creata alla fine della guerra per la successione spagnola, che aveva visto l’occupazione da parte degli austriaci dei possedimenti spagnoli in Italia (Milano, Sardegna, Regno di Napoli) nonché quello di Sicilia ceduto a Vittorio Amedeo II di Savoia e, alla prima occasione (l’impero austriaco era impe...

El soldado español
El soldado español forma parte inseparable del pasado y el presente de España. Es una memoria marcada por los avatares bélicos en los que intervinieron combatientes españoles a lo largo de los siglos: desde los celtíberos que se opusieron a la dominación romana o los legendarios tercios a las actuales Fuerzas Armadas, pasando por los guerreros medievales o los conquistadores de América. Fueron capaces de las mayores proezas y supieron sufrir en los momentos aciagos. Como hijos del pueblo del que proceden han sido un fiel reflejo de las virtudes y defectos del conjunto social a través del tiempo. Constituyen una herencia de nuestra realidad histórica y un arquetipo que define nuestra...
Rome and Irish Catholicism in the Atlantic World, 1622–1908
This book builds upon research on the role of Catholicism in creating and strengthening a global Irish identity, complementing existing scholarship by adding a ‘Roman perspective’. It assesses the direct agency of the Holy See, its role in the Irish collective imagination, and the extent and limitations of Irish influence over the Holy See’s policies and decisions. Revealing the centrality of the Holy See in the development of a series of missionary connections across the Atlantic world and Rome, the chapters in this collection consider the formation, causes and consequences of these networks both in Ireland and abroad. The book offers a long durée perspective, covering both the early modern and modern periods, to show how Irish Catholicism expanded across continental Europe and over the Atlantic across three centuries. It also offers new insights into the history of Irish migration, exploring the position of the Irish Catholic clergy in Atlantic communities of Irish migrants.
Public Administration in Perspective
Throughout its history, public administration has used a number of different perspectives for analyzing the discipline's theory and practice, and both mainstream and alternative lenses have produced valuable insights and prescriptions. At the same time, an individual way of looking at PA can be misleading. Alone, a solitary lens can miss critical aspects and often gives only part of the picture. Public Administration in Perspective has been specifically crafted to give new life to public administration theory and practice by helping readers view the discipline through a variety of perspectives. Designed for the capstone course in public administration programs, as well as a fresh approach fo...
