Sir Adrian Boult (1889-1983) was one of the greatest English
conductors. He had a long association with the BBC, as director of
music, and, more famously, as the permanent conductor of the BBC
Symphony Orchestra. When forced to retire from the BBC at sixty
(the BBC's retirement age) in 1949, Boult's career entered a long,
productive Indian Summer. He was the principal conductor of the
London Philharmonic Orchestra for six years, he conducted the music
for the 1953 Coronation and he recorded prolifically, his final
recording being in 1978 when he was eighty-nine. Sir Adrian's
conducting and recording repertoire was formidable but he will be
forever associated with English music. He conducted the first
performance of Holst's suite 'The Planets'. Elgar said to him in
1920, 'I feel that my reputation in the future is safe in your
hands'. His recordings of Butterworth, Elgar, Holst, Parry and
Vaughan Williams, where not definitive, still provide a benchmark.
It is fitting this biography is written by Michael Kennedy for,
through his extensive writings, he has made a comparable
contribution to the cause of English music. This biography, for
which Michael Kennedy had unrestricted access to Sir Adrian's
diaries, notebooks and a large number of letters, was first
published in 1987.
Since the publication of the bestselling second edition of The
Global Positioning System and GIS, the use of GPS as an input for
GIS has evolved from a supporting analysis tool to become an
essential part of real-time management tools in wide-ranging
fields. Continued technological advances and decreased costs have
altered the GPS vendor landscape significantly and opened the door
to an array of receiver and software options.
Retaining the in-depth description that made the previous
edition so popular, The Global Positioning System and ArcGIS, Third
Edition has expanded its coverage to review the capabilities and
features common to most receivers. While it emphasizes Trimble and
Magellan hardware and Trimble TerraSync and ESRI ArcPad software to
capture data, the text 's broadened coverage makes it useful with
virtually any hardware/software packages, so readers will be able
to collect GPS data and install it in ArcGIS regardless of the data
capture mechanism.
Covering the latest developments in this emerging field, the
third edition has been updated to include:
- New information on automated data collection
- Updates to the conversion of GPS data into GIS form with ArcGIS
Desktop (v. 9.3) as well as ESRI software
- An examination of differential correction and improvements in
accuracy of collected data
- Additional emphasis on ArcMap and Pathfinder Office
- Illustrations using ArcMap to combine GPS data with other data
sets including raster DRGs, DOQs, DEMs, and various vector data
sets
Using a top-down approach, each chapter begins with a
theoretical overview followed by self-study exercises and projects
that provide step-by-step guidance on applying the concepts using
GPS hardware or a PC. The text includes a CD-ROM with GPS data sets
for exercises in Trimble SSF and ESRI shapefile formats, plus other
valuable learning resources.

Was Richard Strauss the most incandescent composer of the twentieth
century or merely a bourgeoisie artist and Nazi sympathizer? For
the fifty years since his death on September 8, 1949, Richard
Strauss has remained dogmatically elusive in the wider body of
musical and historical criticism. Lauded as nothing less than the
"greatest musical figure" of his time by Canadian musician, Glenn
Gould, in 1962, Strauss also has attracted his share of posthumous
epithets: in summary, an artist who lived off his own fat during
his later years. As recently as 1995, the English critic Rodney
Milnes wrote, "the court of posterity is still reserving judgment."
In Richard Strauss: Man, Musician, Enigma, biographer Michael
Kennedy demonstrates that the many varying shades of criticism that
have painted this figure in the past half century resemble the
similar understandings and misunderstandings held by his
contemporaries--perceptions that touched almost every aspect of
Strauss' life and career. Introducing his detailed work more as a
broad explication than a firm answer to the Straussian riddle,
Kennedy's scope includes the exuberant, extroverted Strauss of
young adulthood as well as the phlegmatic and aloof middle-aged man
who resembled a "prosperous bank manager;" the arch-fiend of
modernism and the composer who redefined the term; a man who
professed to lack all spiritual curiosity and a musician who penned
the touching ballet Der Kometentanz; an at times almost humble
family man and an artist who claimed to be as interesting as
Napoleon and Alexander the Great. Kennedy clearly elucidates his
enigmatic subject by building his analysis around the few constants
in Strauss' life: his profoundadmiration for German culture, his
dependence on his own family for guidance, and his "Nietzschean
total absorption in art." This frame offers everyone from
Straussian scholars to general readers an insightful and
easy-to-follow biographical narrative. Kennedy also deals at length
with Strauss' problematic relationship with Nazi authorities,
detailing his incompatible roles as the father-in-law of a Jewish
woman and as one of the country's leading composers. Michael
Kennedy is the chief music critic of the (London) Sunday Telegraph
and the author of many books about music.
This important new biography of Elgar draws on letters and
documents which have become available in the last twenty-five
years. Michael Kennedy, a leading scholar of British music and a
distinguished musical biographer, uses this new material, which
includes Elgar's own vast correspondence, in an attempt to get to
the centre of the composer's complex personality. Elgar's letters
reveal his unpredictable swings of mood, from gaiety and a fondness
for puns to morose self-pity and a feeling that he was 'not
wanted', and although much of Elgar's music sounds confident and
coherent, it also has an underlying layer of unease, melancholy and
insecurity. His relationships with his wife and other women friends
are a continuing thread in the life of a man who remained acutely
conscious of his lower middle-class origins in spite of his
meteoric rise to fame, honours in Edward VII's reign and friendship
with the King.

by the same author on the departmental clubs during the early years
of the Revolution, this book is the product of thirty years of
scholarly study, including archival research in Paris and in more
than seventy departments in France. It focuses on the twenty-eight
months from May 1793 to August 1795, a period spanning the
Federalist Revolt, the Terror, and the Thermidorian Reaction. The
Federalist Revolt, in which many clubs were involved, had momentous
consequences for all of them and was, in the local setting, the
principal cause of the Reign of Terror, a period in which more than
5,300 communes had clubs that reached the zenith of their power and
influence, engaging in a myriad of political, administrative,
judicial, religious, economic, social, and war-related activities.
The book ends with their decline and final dissolution by a decree
of the Convention in Paris. Michael Kennedy is Chair of the History
Department at Winthrop University."

"Incredible, inspiring, infinitely readable" - Craig Thompson,
author of Blankets "The story was tremendous, a real page-turner.
And I loved Michael Kennedy's artwork." - Frank Quitely "[Tumult]
reads like an art house thriller. An ode to cinema, it has shades
of Jim Jamusch or a hipster Hitchcock, and some of the boldest,
most original art I've seen in years" - Christian Ward "Unique,
thrilling and illustrated with gusto" - Michael Allred Tumult is
the coolest indie movie on paper. Oblique, funny and beautiful work
from two future comic stars!" - Sean Phillips Adam Whistler has it
all, so why does he feel so empty? When he breaks his ankle on a
Mediterranean holiday he impulsively ends his relationship,
toppling himself into emotional free fall. At a house party he
meets-and beds-the lovely Morgan. But when he encounters her a few
days later she has no memory of him and introduces herself as
Leila. Leila has dissociative identity disorder, or multiple
personalities. People are being murdered and Leila fears that
Morgan, the personality Adam first met, is the killer. He doesn't
believe that any part of her is capable of it, so he sets out to
unravel the mystery of her past. Tumult is a stylish, contemporary
psychological thriller in the vein of Alfred Hitchcock and Patricia
Highsmith.

The thirteenth volume in the Documents on Irish Foreign Policy
(DIFP) series runs from April 1965 to July 1969. It covers the
Fianna Fail governments of Sean Lemass (April 1965 to November
1966) and Jack Lynch (November 1966 to July 1969) in which Frank
Aiken was Minister for External Affairs. The four years and three
months covered by DIFP XIII saw significant changes in the
international context in which Ireland conducted its foreign
policy. In 1965 the hope of the Department of External Affairs was
that Ireland would enter the European Economic Community (EEC)
before 1970. EEC entry would take place alongside that of Britain,
an Anglo-Irish Free Trade Area (AIFTA) having come into operation
in 1966, cementing trade between Ireland and its principal trading
partner. Overall, the United Nations would remain the benchmark of
global Irish foreign policy. Peacekeeping, advocating nuclear
non-proliferation and ensuring the proper financing of the United
Nations as well as promoting decolonisation and the universality of
the United Nations system within the bipolar world of the Cold War
remained central to 1960s Irish foreign policy. These assumptions
were thrown out of balance by the continuing refusal of France to
facilitate the expansion of the EEC and EEC membership remained out
of reach for Ireland. Dublin's fragile relations with Belfast were
destabilised with the emergence of new social and political forces
in Northern Ireland and the recurrence of sectarian violence. The
Department of External Affairs proved initially unable to respond
comprehensively to this new environment in Northern Ireland, which
was the precursor to the outbreak of the Troubles in 1969. Improved
economic and political relations with London were affected by local
and international economic difficulties and also as a consequence
of events in Northern Ireland. At the United Nations, superpower
politics constrained Irish attempts to follow up the success of the
1968 Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty with a major policy
initiative on the financing of international peacekeeping missions.

Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Politics -
International Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict Studies,
Security, grade: B+, Webster University, language: English,
abstract: This report provides an analysis of the conflict which
exists in combatting maritime piracy in Somalia. It identifies key
factors that are responsible for the development of Somali piracy
and the actors which aim to stop it. Furthermore, the report
addresses the legal, social, militaristic, economic, and political
complications that arise from varying international strategies to
effectively combat policy. The report outlines several underlying
historical and geographical factors followed by the impacts that
Somalia has faced in terms of its central government's collapse in
1991. As is discussed, Somalia as a failed state has allowed for
piracy to flourish in conjunction with the described underlying
factors. It also describes the cyclical trend, or feedback loop,
that many of these factors have for promoting piracy while piracy
in return antagonizes the issues caused by these factors. The
obstacles towards combating piracy are also discussed demonstrating
the difficult scenario that policymakers will need to address in
order to effectively treat the cause of piracy. In order to
identify the contradiction that exists pertaining to the issue of
Somali piracy, this report will focus on Somalia's fractured
society and its incompatibility with international democratic
norms. As will become evident, the reduction of piracy hinges on
the ability for Somalia's central government to stabilize. However,
due to the mentioned fractured society within Somalia, the ability
to develop a stable and functional democratic government is in
direct conflict with the nature of Somali society.
Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Politics -
International Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict Studies,
Security, grade: A, Webster University, language: English,
abstract: During the 1960 s and early 1970 s, a rise in Quebec
nationalism led to an independence movement through violent means.
Although violence was characteristic of a relatively small group of
individuals compared with the moderately supportive general public,
the Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQ) was successful in eliciting
public support for its cause. However, due to a series of responses
by the Quebec provincial government and Canadian federal
government, public support quickly declined following the
implementation of the War Measures Act in October 1970. Although a
risky decision on the part of the federal government, the War
Measures Act successfully halted violent terrorist tactics in the
name of Quebec sovereignty. This furthermore produced a foundation
for Quebec separatists, moderates and FLQ members alike, to vote on
independence through legitimate means. The growth and effectiveness
of domestic political terrorism can be analyzed through theoretical
frameworks. Furthermore, the actions of target groups to combat
terrorist objectives are also important in understanding the
ability of whether a terrorist organization will succeed or not.
The need to understand the cause of terrorism also aids in
understanding whether it can be successfully eliminated. Through
the lens of Nicholas O. Berry s (1987) Theories on the efficacy of
terrorism, this paper examines the Quebec separatist movement and
the rise and fall of the Front de Liberation du Quebec terrorist
group."
