Rintamakarkurit
Rintamalta karkasi talvi- ja jatkosodan aikana yli 30 000 miestä. Keitä he olivat, miksi he pakenivat ja kuinka heidän kävi? Tuija Saarinen-Härkösen teos paneutuu sotahistoriamme kipeään aiheeseen, rintamapalvelua pakoilleisiin käpykaartilaisiin.Syvyyttä ja kokemuksellisuutta aiheen käsittelyyn tuo läpi kirjan kulkeva rintamakarkuri Eino Hietarinteen tarina. Rintamakarkuruus on arka aihe suomalaisessa historiantutkimuksessa. Tuija Saarinen-Härkönen kuvaa kirjassaan laajasti rintamalta pakenemisen syitä ja seurauksia. Talvisodan yhtenäinen henki repeili jatkosotaan tultaessa. Rintamapalveluksesta pakeneminen tai ns. metsäkaartilaisuus oli vahvasti yhteydessä mm. sisällissod...
Sotaan väsyneet
Vaiettua sotahistoriaa. Sotilaskarkuruus oli kiivaimmillaan jatkosodan aikana. Tuhannet karkasivat rintamalta kiinni jäämisen ankarista seurauksista huolimatta. Teos valottaa karkuruuden syitä ja sen seurauksia niin sotilaiden itsensä kuin heidän lähipiirinsä kannalta. Jatkosodan aikana noin 35 000 miestä valitsi toisin: osa jätti osallistumatta liikekannallepanoon, osa karkasi rintamalta vuoden 1941 etenemisvaiheen aikana, osa kesän 1944 vetäytymis- ja torjuntavaiheessa. Monet jäivät palaamatta lomiltaan yksikköönsä, piiloutuivat ullakoille, metsäkorsuihin tai pakenivat rajan yli Ruotsiin. Miksi niin moni valitsi sotilaskarkuruuden? Mitä karkuruudesta tiedettiin sodan viel...
Lake Tourism
Lakes are an essential element of some of the world's most popular tourism destinations. However, increased pressure from visitors and the tourism industry as well as from other, sometimes competing, land and water uses has made the sustainable development of lakes increasingly problematic. This book represents the first attempt to bring together some of the key elements of lake tourism within a single volume in order to present the urgent need for an integrated approach to lacustrine tourism systems management.The book presents comprehensive overviews of lake tourism including branding and marketing, visitor management and planning, historical and cultural dimensions, and environmental quality. The volume is international in scope with cases from Europe, North America and Oceania. The book concludes by noting that tourism needs to be established as a complimentary land and water use at a time when lakes and their watersheds are facing challenges in the form of climate and environmental change, increasing numbers of visitors as well as an overall increase in competing demands for water.
Ordinary Men
“A remarkable—and singularly chilling—glimpse of human behavior. . .This meticulously researched book...represents a major contribution to the literature of the Holocaust."—Newsweek Christopher R. Browning’s shocking account of how a unit of average middle-aged Germans became the cold-blooded murderers of tens of thousands of Jews—now with a new afterword and additional photographs. Ordinary Men is the true story of Reserve Police Battalion 101 of the German Order Police, which was responsible for mass shootings as well as round-ups of Jewish people for deportation to Nazi death camps in Poland in 1942.
