Описание: This book is a study of the Russo Japanese War of 1904-1905, as seen through the eyes of the British Naval Attache, Captain William Pakenham. The complicated set of international relations at the turn of the century is reviewed, as well as the balance of sea power in the Far East, which was a matter of considerable importance to the British government. The role of the naval attache was thus of considerable importance, particularly once war had broken out.Pakenham quickly became a trusted colleague of Admiral Togo, the Japanese commander-in-chief, and went to sea with the Japanese fleet during the great battles of the naval campaign.The war had already begun before Pakenham arrived in the Far East, commencing with a lightning strike by the Japanese at the Russian base of Port Arthur. Once there Pakenham sent a stream of comprehensive reports not only describing the naval actions but also dealing with crucial matters relating for instance to the design of warships, developments in gunnery and the use of torpedoes. These were closely studied at the British Admiralty, at a time when the revolutionary design of the new battleship Dreadnought was under consideration.Pakenham, who came from a well-known naval family, was one of those personalities around whom legends grew, and he was certainly well established as an eccentric. He was greatly admired by his Japanese hosts for the courage he displayed under fire.

Автор: Quintin Barry Название: The War in the North Sea: The Royal Navy and the Imperial German Army 1914-1918 ISBN: 191239054X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781912390540 Издательство: Marston Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 33000.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: For years before the outbreak of the First World War, it was the expectation of most officers of the Royal Navy and the Imperial German Navy that very shortly thereafter; a decisive fleet action would be fought. This had a major impact on the strategic thinking on both sides of the North Sea. In fact, the unalterable geographic situation meant that for the Grand Fleet in its Scottish bases, the correct course to follow was not to seek a major fleet encounter. Essentially, it was by staying where it was that it could neutralise the High Seas Fleet and enforce an economic blockade of Germany.The history of the war in the North Sea between 1914 and 1918 is a record of the attempts to break the deadlock - and it is also the history of the men who led the British and German navies. On both sides, the stresses of the huge burden which they bore led to a serious breakdown of trust in each other on the part of the admirals charged with the responsibility. Still more serious was the mutual loss of confidence between the admirals on the one hand and the politicians on the other; their letters and diaries reveal the bitter personal disputes that arose between them. The principal naval battle of Jutland occurred when the two most powerful fleets that the world had ever known clashed, almost by accident, in the North Sea on 31 May 1916. The outcome of the battle has prompted a minute examination of the tactics employed by the commanders, and a continuous debate as to who won, as well as a bitter controversy between the supporters of Sir John Jellicoe (the commander-in-chief of the Grand Fleet) and Sir David Beatty (the commander of the battle cruisers). Most British historians claim the battle as a British victory - a view which this book questions. It has been often suggested that after Jutland, the High Seas Fleet remained in harbour for the rest of the war, but as this book shows, the underrated Admiral Reinhard Scheer (its commander-in-chief) subsequently launched a number of major sorties. It was a series of chances that had determined the outcome of Jutland - and it was chance that repeatedly intervened to prevent a decisive encounter subsequently.This book reviews the entire course of the war in the North Sea, from the first contacts between the fleets in the early days, to the ambitious (but abortive) mission planned at the end of the war for the High Seas Fleet - and, as a dramatic epilogue, its scuttling in Scapa Flow.

Psychoanalyst NATE SHELLEY and his family are back in Chicago attempting to settle into a tranquil life after escaping a European drug lord's quest for revenge. The international criminal, DIEGO MONTEMAYOR, blames Nate and his family for the death of his wife who perished in a hospital fire in the Canary Islands. Three years after their return, however, Professor MIR EPSTEIN-SHELLEY, Nate's wife, is kidnapped. Following an anonymous tip, Nate tracks down his drugged wife to a local hotel room with a dead stranger on her bed. The detective in charge of the investigation declares the death of the stranger a murder.
When the police fail to come up with the identity of the dead man or the murderer, Shelley realizes that the three-year-old problems that he thought were left behind in the Spanish archipelago, are far from over. Soon, Nate Shelley realizes that things are not what they appear to be. Although local officials enlist the help of federal authorities to solve the kidnapping and the murder, the investigation lingers without any resolution. With continued anonymous tips coming from Miro's kidnapper, Nate pursues a parallel investigation with the help of his family. At each step Nate appears to get resistance and even opposition from the legal authorities that should be helping in the investigation. Finally, Nate Shelley concludes that unless he can confront the criminals responsible for the murder, his family will never be secure.

A lavish account of Dutch designer Hella Jongerius' weaving researches, conceived as a "textile object"
Alice Rawsthorn of the New York Times credits Dutch industrial designer Hella Jongerius (born 1963) for "bringing sensuality and sophistication" back to her field. This sensuality is apparent in her curvaceous colorful vases and her futuristic textile design.
In this unique book, Jongerius and her design team, Jongeriuslab, transformed the exhibition spaces of Lafayette Anticipations in Paris into a weaving laboratory, experimenting on the future of textile making: digital, 3D and space weaving through different looms that they adapted or made from scratch. This volume, designed by the internationally acclaimed graphic designer Irma Boom, is conceived as a textile object. Placing text as weaving, using Singer stitching for the binding and mixing two different printing techniques (offset and riso), the book itself becomes a reflection of this unusual exhibition process.
