Описание:

Accidental harm to civilians in warfare often becomes an occasion for public outrage, from citizens of both the victimized and the victimizing nation. In this vitally important book on a topic of acute concern for anyone interested in military strategy, international security, or human rights, Alexander B. Downes reminds readers that democratic and authoritarian governments alike will sometimes deliberately kill large numbers of civilians as a matter of military strategy. What leads governments to make such a choice?

Downes examines several historical cases: British counterinsurgency tactics during the Boer War, the starvation blockade used by the Allies against Germany in World War I, Axis and Allied bombing campaigns in World War II, and ethnic cleansing in the Palestine War. He concludes that governments decide to target civilian populations for two main reasons—desperation to reduce their own military casualties or avert defeat, or a desire to seize and annex enemy territory. When a state's military fortunes take a turn for the worse, he finds, civilians are more likely to be declared legitimate targets to coerce the enemy state to give up. When territorial conquest and annexation are the aims of warfare, the population of the disputed land is viewed as a threat and the aggressor state may target those civilians to remove them. Democracies historically have proven especially likely to target civilians in desperate circumstances.

In Targeting Civilians in War, Downes explores several major recent conflicts, including the 1991 Persian Gulf War and the American-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. Civilian casualties occurred in each campaign, but they were not the aim of military action. In these cases, Downes maintains, the achievement of quick and decisive victories against overmatched foes allowed democracies to win without abandoning their normative beliefs by intentionally targeting civilians. Whether such "restraint" can be guaranteed in future conflicts against more powerful adversaries is, however, uncertain. During times of war, democratic societies suffer tension between norms of humane conduct and pressures to win at the lowest possible costs. The painful lesson of Targeting Civilians in War is that when these two concerns clash, the latter usually prevails.

Описание: WHY DO SO MANY OF US FEEL DISSATISFIED, UNHAPPY - SOMETIMES DEPRESSED?
We have vastly more material possessions than we need, yet we're duped into buying more, because of our need to keep up with others who have more money and 'things' than we have. We're also pressurised by advertising, and glossy images of people living extravagant lives.
There's a noticeable increase in our use of mobile phones. We tend to communicate more by messaging, than face-to-face conversations. There's also a worrying trend in the misuse of social media (including cyber-bullying).
All these trends in our behaviour largely explain why there's a rise in mental health problems - especially in youngsters - who need counselling and support. Unfortunately there's a lack of appropriate resources.
WE ONLY NEED TO TAKE A FEW PRACTICAL STEPS:
We can stop buying things we don't need.
Stop envying, and comparing ourselves unfavourably with others.
Cut down on mobile phone use; allocate periods of 'phone silence'.
Use social media responsibly, and think about its effects on others.
Make more time for family and friends, enjoy chatting face-to-face.
Think of others - give a helping hand, be generous and positive.
All we need is a change of attitude. It requires effort and determination - but it's rewarding; and costs nothing

THIS WORKBOOK IS A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO HELP YOUNGSTERS - WORKING WITH THEIR TEACHERS AND PARENTS - TO COPE WITH ANY CONCERNS OR ANXIETIES THAT INHIBIT THEM, AND TO DEVELOP THEIR CONFIDENCE, AND FULFIL THEIR POTENTIAL.

Описание: When the author`s two children (a boy and a girl) were young, they often crawled into bed with his wife and him in the morning, he would make up stories about two little mice, Ticklemouse and his friend Lively, who lived in the same house as the little boy or girl, depending on who was listening. Ticklemouse was the author`s right hand and Lively his left, and they loved to tickle the kids whenever the mice got excited during the story. He never knew where the stories would go as he made them up, but over time, several were repeated often enough that they became memorable. When his kids grew up and had kids of their own, the author wrote down four of the stories and discovered that they were just as popular with his grandkids. These stories of shared laughter and fun became The Adventures of Ticklemouse. The author hopes you and your children or grandchildren enjoy them as much as his did and still do.
