Im frühen Mittelalter nimmt die Herrschaftsverfassung Japans zunehmend komplexe Züge an. Um die Machtzentren Hof und Shogunat gruppieren sich alte und neue Eliten. Parallel bilden sich komplex gestaffelte Rechte am Boden und seinen Erträgen heraus. Die wachsenden Konflikte zwischen und innerhalb dieser noch fluiden Figurationen resultieren in neuen Formen gerichtlicher oder gar militärischer Regelung durch Herrschaftsinstanzen, die ihrerseits unter fortwährendem Anpassungsdruck stehen. Zu den konfliktregulierenden Funktionen von Herrschaft treten solche einer Agrarpolitik auf verschiedenen Ebenen, die nicht nur den aus militärischen Konflikten entstandenen Schäden, sondern auch den laufenden Erfordernissen einer wesentlich auf Nassreisanbau basierenden Agrikultur Rechnung zu tragen haben.In early medieval Japan, the political constitution displays increasingly complex features: both old and new elites gather around two centers of power, the imperial court and the shogunate. At the same time, multi-layered rights over property and income develop. The proliferation of conflicts between and within these fluid figurations eventuate new forms of legal and military regulation by the ruling authorities, who are thus compelled to commit to a cycle of continual adaption. In addition to the conflict-mediating functions of authority, agricultural policies on multiple levels emerge that have to take into account not only the damages incurred in the wake of military escalations, but also the fixed demands of an agriculture rooted in wet rice cultivation.

The Mohicans are an Eastern Algonquian Native American tribe that historically spoke an Algonquian language. As part of the Eastern Algonquian family of tribes, they are related to the neighboring Lenape, whose indigenous territory was to the south upto the Atlantic coast. The Mohican lived in the upper tidal Hudson River Valley, including the confluence of the Mohawk River (where present-day Albany, New York, developed) and into western New England centered on the upper Housatonic River watershed. After 1680, due to conflicts with the powerful Mohawk to the west during the Beaver Wars, many were driven southeastward across the present-day Massachusetts western border and the Taconic Mountains to Berkshire County around Stockbridge, Massachusetts.This book is a work of fiction based on the Mohican tribe and gives account of history of the United States during that period.This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. This has been published with the best technology to reproduce historical work in the same manner it was first published to preserve its original nature.

During the Second World War, Hungary deployed several tank units to support the Axis war effort. The Hungarian army mainly used two types of tanks during the conflict: the Toldi and the Turán in different variants. The Toldi was a Hungarian light tank developed in the 1930s. It was an agile tank suitable for reconnaissance and troop support tasks. The Turán was the first mass-produced Hungarian tank. It was based on the chassis of the Czechoslovak LT vz. 38. However, the light armour made these tanks vulnerable to enemy hits. They were mainly used on the Eastern Front against the Soviet Union.

Most of the great powers contested the lands around the Adriatic Sea during the Napoleonic Wars. While never a major theatre of operations, the Adriatic was part of the overall strategy of most of the combatants. It played an essential role by influencing alliances and diverting troops and ships, which all contributed to the defeat of Napoleon. The Napoleonic Wars was also a period of significant change, with the French and British intervening in a region that had long been a battleground reserved for the Austrian, Russian andOttoman empires.This book examines the Adriatic campaigns, including those rarely mentioned in the history of the period, and the armies, navies and personalities that fought in the region between 1797 and 1815. Austrian, French, Russian, British, and their foreign regiments fought up and down the coast, sometimes with or against local leaders like Peter I of Montenegro and Ali Pasha of Ioannina. Many commanders were far from home, with orders taking weeks to reach them. This meant even junior officers could take military and diplomatic decisions usually reserved for more senior officers.This is a story of strategy and small wars with many colourful personalities playing their part in a fascinating, if violent, tale against the backdrop of the frontier sea.

How to take a political beating and surviveIn the struggle for a better world, setbacks are inevitable. Defeat can feel overwhelming at times, but it has to be endured. How then do the people on the front line keep going? To answer that question and to help readers roll with the punches, Hannah Proctor draws on historical resources to find out how revolutionaries and activists of the past kept a grip on hope.Burnout considers former Communards exiled to a penal colony in the South Pacific; a young Bolshevik fleeing the city in despair; an ex-militant on the analyst’s couch relating dreams of ruined landscapes; a trade union organizer seeking advice from a spiritual healer; and a group of feminists padding a room with mattresses to scream about the patriarchy. Jettisoning therapy talk and its stranglehold on our language, Proctor offers a different way forward—neither denial nor despair. Her cogent exploration of the ways militants make sense of their own burnout demonstrates that it is possible to mourn and organize at once, and to do both without compromise.[ENDORSEMENTS TK][logo]SUBJECT LINE [INITIAL CAP ONLY]: PoliticsRETAIL PRICES [DOMESTIC MARKET FIRST]: £14.99 / $24.95 / $33.95CANversobooks.comISBN-13: 9781839766053

Einige byzantinische Handschriften, die hauptsächlich in das 10./11. Jh. datieren, überliefern ein Korpus antiker Traktate zum Bau von Belagerungsmaschinen und Geschützen und ein dazugehöriges Bildprogramm technischer Illustrationen. Dieses weist in den verschiedenen Handschriften eine auffällige Überlieferungsvarianz von schematischen und gegenständlichen Maschinenillustrationen auf. Katharina Schoneveld vollzieht deren Entwicklung anhand von Bildanalysen und Untersuchungen zur Handschriftentradition nach und interpretiert sie im Kontext der Rezeption antiker kriegstechnischer Literatur in Byzanz. Schließlich geht sie mit einem Vergleich mit spätmittelalterlichen Maschinenbüchern aus Mitteleuropa der Frage nach einer möglichen Rezeption byzantinischer Maschinenillustrationen nach.Several Byzantine manuscripts, mostly dating into the 10th and 11th centuries, transmit a corpus of ancient manuals on building siege engines and artillery devices. A collection of technical illustrations accompanies this corpus. In the different manuscripts it features a peculiar variance in transmission of schematic and representational machine illustrations. Their development is followed through picture analysis and examination of manuscript tradition and will be understood within the context of the reception of ancient military technological literature in Byzantium. Eventually, a comparison with late medieval machine books further pursues the question of a potential reception of Byzantine machine illustrations.

Sun Tzu's "Art of War, compiled more than two thousand years ago, is a study of the anatomy of organizations in conflict. It is perhaps the most prestigious and influential book of strategy in the world today. Now, this unique volume brings together the essential versions of Sun Tzu's text, along with illuminating commentaries and auxiliary texts written by distinguished strategists. The translations, by the renowned translator Thomas Cleary, have all been published previously in book form. This comprehensive collection contains: "The Art of War: This edition of Sun Tzu's text includes the classic collection of commentaries by eleven interpreters. "Thomas Cleary's translation of "The "Art of War makes immediate relevant one of the greatest Chinese classical texts. There's not a dated maxim or vague prescription in it . . . . You can throw out all those contemporary books about management and leadership."-"Newsweek. "Mastering the Art of War: Consisting of essays by two prominent statesmen-generals of Han dynasty China, Zhuge Liang and Liu Ji, this book develops the strategies of Sun Tzu's classic into a complete handbook of organization and leadership. It draws on episodes from Chinese history to show in concrete terms the proper use of Sun Tzu's principles. "The Lost Art of War: Written more than one hundred years after Sun Tzu's text, by Sun Bin, a linear descendant of Sun Tzu, this classic of political and military strategy is faithful to the principles of "The Art of War, while developing their practical application much further. "The Silver Sparrow Art of War: A version of Sun Tzu's "Art of War based on a manuscript of the classic text discovered at a Chinesearcheological site in China's Shandong Province in 1972, which contains previously unknown fragments.

Am Beispiel der Hanseforschung und des Hansischen Geschichtsvereins wird herausgearbeitet, wie offiziöse Historiografie im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert immer im Dienst des jeweiligen staatlichen Regimes stand. Beamtetes akademisches Bildungsbürgertum lieferte nationalistische Vaterlandsideologien, nordisch-arischen Rassismus, Judenfeindlichkeit und aggressive völkische Geopolitik. Die nationalsozialistische Ideologie der faschistischen Bewegung entstammte ebenfalls der Feder rechtskonservativer Aktivisten vor allem des Alldeutschen Verbandes. Intellektuelles Kultur- und Bildungsbürgergertum bereitete zwei Weltkriege weltanschaulich mit vor und beteiligte sich als Propagandisten für überhebliches Deutschtum und deutschen Kolonialismus und Imperialismus. Bis heute ist es noch kaum gelungen, mit den gefährlichen staatlichen und ideologischen Traditionen der deutschen Klassengesellschaft zu brechen, da die Aufarbeitung der Geschichte immer in den Händen einer Geschichtswissenschaft lag, die selber Teil des historischen Problems war.

Das Erbe des Ersten Weltkriegs ließ eine Vielfalt an erinnerungskulturellen Ausprägungen entstehen. In Zentraleuropa blieben diese in ihrer Intensität allerdings stets weit hinter jener Gedenkkultur zurück, die der »Große Krieg« in den westlichen Siegerstaaten hervorbrachte. Die hier veröffentlichten Beiträge beleuchten unterschiedliche Aspekte dieser vernachlässigten Geschichte: Sie beschäftigen sich mit den Erinnerungskulturen des Ersten Weltkriegs in der Zwischenkriegszeit, sind neueren Forschungsperspektiven verpflichtet und konzentrieren sich in räumlicher Hinsicht auf vormals habsburgische Territorien und deren Nachbarstaaten. Im Zentrum der Fallstudien steht das Spannungsfeld zwischen öffentlichen und privaten Kriegsdeutungen sowie jenen alternativen Erinnerungsbildern und Gedächtniskonstruktionen, die aufgrund der Konzentration auf die in der Forschung bislang dominante materielle Kriegserinnerungskultur unterbelichtet geblieben sind.
