I Dread the Thought of the Place
"In this book, the author provides an hour-by-hour tactical history of the battle, beginning before dawn on September 17 and concluding with the immediate aftermath of the battle, including General McClellan's fateful decision to not pursue Lee's retreating forces back across the Potomac to Virginia. But this is not only an operational history of Antietam: the author also offers the reader insight into the experiences of enlisted soldiers, the terror of the fighting itself, and the emotional aftermath for those who survived"--
When Hell Came to Sharpsburg
Discover a forgotten chapter of American history with Steven Cowie's riveting account of the Battle of Antietam. The Battle of Antietam, fought in and around Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862, was the bloodiest day in American history. Despite the large number of books and articles on the subject, the battle’s horrendous toll on area civilians is rarely discussed. When Hell Came to Sharpsburg: The Battle of Antietam and Its Impact on the Civilians Who Called It Home by Steven Cowie rectifies this oversight. By the time the battle ended about dusk that day, more than 23,000 men had been killed, wounded, or captured in just a dozen hours of combat—a grim statistic that tells only...
European Accountancy Yearbook 1992/93
European Accountancy Yearbook is the first annual reference work to focus on the emerging Pan-European accounting scene. Following numerous international mergers and syndicate formations large accountancy firms are competing to provide services to international corporations and businesses with cross-border trade. The Yearbook provides a one-stop reference source allowing financial directors of these companies to find out which accountancy firms are providing what services and where. It will also provide great assistance to other accountancy and financial services organisations to evaluate the state of the fast growing European market, and to assess competitors or possible partners. The Yearbook includes profiles of all the major firms showing the international coverage, their services offered, fee income, partners, branch offices, etc. In addition the Yearbook includes invaluable reference data such as country by country accountancy scene overview, corporate tax rates, E.C. directives, etc.
Sydney Pollack
Jeremiah Johnson, The Way We Were, Absence of Malice, Out of Africa, Tootsie, The Firm, Searching for Bobby Fischer--Sydney Pollack has produced, directed or appeared in some of the biggest and most influential films of the last quarter century. His emergence in Hollywood coincided with those of such other innovative directors as John Frankenheimer, George Roy Hill and Sidney Lumet, and with them he helped develop a contemplative style of filmmaking that was almost European in its approach but retained its commercial viability. Film-by-film, this work examines the directorial career of Sydney Pollack. One finds that his style is marked by deliberate pacing, ambiguous endings and metaphorical love stories. Topically, Pollack's films reflect social, culture and political dilemmas that hold some fascination for him, with multidimensional characters in place that generally break the stereotypical molds of the situations. Pollack's directing efforts on television are also detailed, as are his production and acting credits.

Wind Energy 2000
Wind Energy 2000 - Building the 10% looks at the role wind power will play in meeting the Governments 2010 target on electricity generation from renewable sources. New projects, both on and off shore, are expected to contribute almost half of the target, recognising the maturity of the technology. Wind Energy 2000 - Building the 10% includes a special report from the development team of the landmark Blyth Offshore project on the challenges experienced in commissioning the UK's first offshore wind turbines. Changes in both the UK electricity system and the Government's programme of support for renewable energy suggested that the focus of this year's conference should be the new policies. Sessions were accordingly convened as forums with subsequent discussion groups. Papers presented include contributions from the Department of Trade and Industry, the Crown Estate, and the Countryside Agency, including such topics as: The percentage obligation and the new electricity trading arrangements The further development of the offshore wind energy industry Regional and sustainable development within the planning system.
Stayin' Alive
An epic account of how working-class America hit the rocks in the political and economic upheavals of the '70s, Stayin' Alive is a wide-ranging cultural and political history that presents the decade in a whole new light. Jefferson Cowie's edgy and incisive book - part political intrigue, part labor history, with large doses of American music, film, and TV lore - makes new sense of the '70s as a crucial and poorly understood transition from the optimism of New Deal America to the widening economic inequalities and dampened expectations of the present. Stayin' Alive takes us from the factory floors of Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Detroit to the Washington of Nixon, Ford, and Carter. Cowie conne...
