Описание: Surigao Strait in the Philippine Islands was the scene of a major battleship duel during the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Because the battle was fought at night and had few survivors on the Japanese side, the events of that naval engagement have been passed down in garbled accounts. Anthony P. Tully pulls together all of the existing documentary material, including newly discovered accounts and a careful analysis of U.S. Navy action reports, to create a new and more detailed description of the action. In several respects, Tully's narrative differs radically from the received versions and represents an important historical corrective. Also included in the book are a number of previously unpublished photographs and charts that bring a fresh perspective to the battle.

The epic battle for control of the Strait of Gibraltar waged by Castile, Morocco, and Granada in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries is a major, but often overlooked, chapter in the history of the Christian reconquest of Spain. After the Castilian conquest of Seville in 1248 and the submission of the Muslim kingdom of Granada as a vassal state, the Moors no longer loomed as a threat and the reconquest seemed to be over. Still, in the following century, the Castilian kings, prompted by ideology and strategy, attempted to dominate the Strait. As self-proclaimed heirs of the Visigoths, they aspired not only to reconstitute the Visigothic kingdom by expelling the Muslims from Spain but also to conquer Morocco as part of the Visigothic legacy. As successive bands of Muslims over the centuries had crossed the Strait from Morocco into Spain, the kings of Castile recognized the strategic importance of securing Algeciras, Gibraltar, and Tarifa, the ports long used by the invaders. At a time when European enthusiasm for the crusade to the Holy Land was on the wane, the Christian struggle for the Strait received the character of a crusade as papal bulls conferred the crusading indulgence as well as ancillary benefits. The Gibraltar Crusade had mixed results. Although the Castilians seized Gibraltar in 1309 and Algeciras in 1344, the Moors eventually repossessed them. Only Tarifa, captured in 1292, remained in Castilian hands. Nevertheless, the power of the Marinid dynasty of Morocco was broken at the battle of Salado in 1340, and for the remainder of the Middle Ages Spain was relieved of the threat of Moroccan invasion. While the reconquest remained dormant during the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries, Ferdinand and Isabella conquered Granada, the last Muslim outpost in Spain, in 1492. In subsequent years Castile fulfilled its earlier aspirations by establishing a foothold in Morocco.
Автор: John Pilling Название: Samuel Beckett`s `More Pricks Than Kicks`: In A Strait Of Two Wills ISBN: 1472525728 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781472525727 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 40120.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Drawing on private correspondence and little known documents, published and unpublished, Pilling explores every aspect of the More Pricks Than Kicks short story collection. From its publishing history to why they were written, Pilling reveals Beckett's conflicted feelings about the 'compromise' of writing short stories and his struggle to find a voice distinct from James Joyce, his friend and authority of the form. By discussing each story as separate entity, in a grouping that deviates from the collection, and by analysing 'Echo's Bones', Pilling makes new comparisons and contrasts, illustrating Beckett's idiosyncratic handling of the form. Making sure to place the stories in the context of the post-war work, this early study of Beckett highlights the years and work central to his development as a writer.

Описание: Most of aspire to be more in life. Have more, do more, be more. Before you know it, we become so busy with finding another life that we miss out on the one were in. What most humans are not aware of, is our brains role in shaping us toward an anxious, self-critical existence because that is what it is programmed to do. Unfortunately most humans are unaware of it. For most of my life, I judged myself so acutely that I couldnt see the life and the beauty that was happening right in front of me. How aware are you of your brains role in who you have become? Fear drives our brain to construct an ego to protect us from the modern-day version of saber tooth tigers - bullies, crappy parents and humiliation. Insecurity, anxiety, frustration and anger are all our brains programming to avoid shame from our past. Although we no longer live in our past, our ego is hungry to remain relevant in the present. For many of us, ego becomes the driver of our lives. Are you in the drivers seat of your life? The answer lies in knowing the difference between you and your brain. No one puts a cape around your shoulders for achieving transformation in life. There is no inauguration ceremony where they hand you a trophy for your newfound awareness. Its just you, and its always been you minus the bullsh!t that our brains construct in order to protect us. In other words, you dont arrive anywhere. Your brain, and the mechanisms it has developed to protect you, are always there and wont change. This book will help you understand your wiring. It will make you aware of the difference between you and your brain. It will help you become conscious of your pasts role in who you are today and it will show you the doorway to the freedom of being truly present in your life. There is a bigger life that we all have access to and it lies in understanding how our brains create an ego to protect us from the things that have hurt us in our past. Consciousness lies in the greater awareness of knowing what is your ego and what is you. Shame, Fear and Sh!t will provide you real life, funny and heartbreaking stories that offer a roadmap to understanding yourself better and giving you access to play bigger in life.

Описание: In The Estonian Straits, Alexander Lott establishes the interrelations between the main legal categories of straits. Through this detailed and exceptional account, he provides legal classifications for the Viro Strait in the Gulf of Finland as well as the Irbe Strait and the Sea of Straits in the Gulf of Riga. Consequently, the passage rights of foreign ships and aircrafts in the northeastern part of the Baltic Sea are determined.The author demonstrates that the legal regime of the Estonian Straits has been and continues to be determined by such factors as the outer limits of maritime zones, treaties, islands, maritime boundary delimitation, domestic law on internal waters and baselines as well as geopolitical implications (particularly the concept of State continuity).
