The field of generic hearing impairment is one where rapid advances
are taking place, and it can often be difficult for Audiologists to
keep track of the broader picture. In this important new text the
authors take a synoptic approach and summarize the causes and basis
of hearing impairments, the impact on the individual and the
therapies available, and the benefits and potential benefits of
current developments.
At its peak the Italian Army contributed 2.5 million troops to the
Axis war effort of World War II (1939-1945). English-speaking
readers tend to think of this army in terms of the North African
campaign; but far more Italian troops served in other theatres.
They invaded, and later bore the major burden of occupying, the
Balkan countries; and Italy sent 250,000 troops to fight on the
Russian Front. In this, the first of a three-part study, Philip
Jowett covers the European theatre - including Russia - from 1940
to Italy's armistice with the Allies in 1943. Many interesting
uniforms, a number of them new to most readers, are meticulously
illustrated by Stephen Andrew.

involved in language education to think more deeply about the
importance of TLA ad to adopt a more principled approach to the

The newest addition to Concord's Warrior series is this title from
Gordon Rottman. The accomplished author examines the typical German
soldier as he appeared as Blitzkrieg was unleashed upon an
under-prepared and overconfident Western Europe. The coverage
extends from the abrupt end of the British-labeled Phony War (or
Sitting War [Sitzkrieg] as the Germans called it) through to the
victory parades in France after the successful conclusion of the
campaign. The much-vaunted French Army had 78 divisions and 2,235
tanks, this latter figure being more than Germany itself possessed.
Hitler launched his attack, codenamed Case Yellow (Fall Gelb), in
the early hours of 10 May 1940. By the 17th, Brussels had fallen,
and by the 19th discussions were already beginning about the
possibility of withdrawing the British Expeditionary Force (BEF)
from France. German troops entered Paris on 14 June, with an
armistice surrendering France finally being signed on 22 June. This
stunning and swift victory did not come cheaply, though, with
Germany suffering 27,000 dead, 18,000 missing, and 111,000 wounded.
This volume shows the triumphant German soldier as he is engaged in
this campaign in the West. The black and white photos reveal
interesting details about uniforms, weapons, equipment, and in some
cases, even vehicles. The photos each receive informative captions
that provide useful background details. Another feature is the four
color plates by Stephen Andrew. These portray various types of
soldiers with helpful notes about their uniforms and weapons. This
is a handy volume and will be especially useful to modelers or
military historians wanting to see German soldiers in action in the
early-war period. The combination of photos, illustrations and
photos provide a valuable introduction to this interesting but
often neglected period of WWII.
Organizational aesthetics, both as a body of theory and a method of inquiry, is a rapidly expanding area of the organizational sciences. The Aesthetics of Organization accessibly draws key contributions delineating the emerging parameters of the field. It explains the significance of concepts devised by postmodern thinkers, through which emerge meaning and order in organizations. Methodological problems associated with investigations of the aesthetic are also highlighted so the reader can identify and understand the importance of recent ideas on vision, perspective and periphery for learning in organizations. Through the contributions of leading international theorists, organizational aesthetics is defined in greater historical and theoretical depth, with a broad conceptual and practical range which academics will find invaluable.
The Four Principles are a renunciation of religious violence, the
recognition that Sharia law is a life-style choice that does not
have legal force, the recognition that Muslims and non-Muslims
should be treated completely equal everywhere on earth, and the
recognition that Muslims have the right to leave Islam, if they so
choose. The Four Principles of Moderate Islam have love, unity,
tolerance, equality, and coexistence as their goal.
