"The book is the product of a protracted, laborious and scrupulous research and draws on a most extensive and varied assembly of documents. But the archival evidence, factual accounts and even personal narratives would have remained remote, dry and cold if not for the author's remarkable gift of empathy. Barbara Engelking gives the witnesses of the Holocaust a voice which readers of this book will understand....Under her pen memories come alive again."--from the Foreword by Zygmunt BaumanOriginally published in Polish to great acclaim and based on interviews with survivors of the Holocaust in Poland, Holocaust and Memory provides a moving description of their life during the war and the sense they made of it. The book begins by looking at the differences between the wartime experiences of Jews and Poles in occupied Poland, both in terms of Nazi legislation and individual experiences. On the Aryan side of the ghetto wall, Jews could either be helped or blackmailed by Poles. The largest section of the book reconstructs everyday life in the ghetto. The psychological consequences of wartime experiences are explored, including interviews with survivors who stayed on in Poland after the war and were victims of anti-Semitism again in 1968. These discussions bring into question some of the accepted survivor stereotypes found in Holocaust literature. A final chapter looks at the legacy of the Holocaust, the problems of transmitting experience and of the place of the Holocaust in Polish history and culture.

This book explores the potential of participatory research and the capability approach to transform understandings of higher education. The editors and contributors illuminate the importance of epistemic in/justice as a foundation to a reflexive, inclusive and decolonial approach to knowledge, as well as its importance to democratic life and participation in higher education. Drawing together eight global case studies, the authors argue for an ecology of knowledge that expands epistemic capabilities in higher education through teaching, research and policy making. Moreover, the chapters illustrate how these epistemic capabilities can be marginalised by both institutions and structural and historical factors; as well as the potential for possibilities when spaces are opened for genuine participation and designed for a plurality of voices. This book will appeal to scholars of social justice and participatory research as well as ongoing debates around decolonising the academy.

Actions of French Cavalry 1870
by Jean Jacques The ophile Bonie
Cavalry at Vionville & Mars-la-Tour
by Otto August Johannes Kaehler
Two views of European cavalry warfare in the 19th Century
If the American Civil War taught what war would become in the world of the post Industrial Revolution, the lesson was thoroughly learnt and its consequences best demonstrated in the Franco-Prussian War by Prussia itself. France remained anchored in spirit and much practice to the First Empire and paid the inevitable price exacted by her forward thinking enemy. Although the development of technology, logistical transportation, communications and mass production were making their presence felt in warfare, the fast, completely flexible movement of troops yet remained the province of the horse soldier and this may have provided a 'level playing field' for the protagonists. Yet even in this the Prussians out matched the French by rethinking the potentials of the mounted arm. The war contained cavalry engagements of massive proportions with appalling consequences for loss of life. For those who know anything of the history of cavalry at war the conflict of Mars-la-Tour, covered in depth in the pages of this book, will be significant. Two accounts of the cavalry during the Franco-Prussian War are included here. The first, written by a French cavalry officer shortly after the war, inevitably reveals the war from the French perspective. Bonie was an eyewitness to the events he describes and his text is immediate and poignant. Kaehler's text, from the perspective of the opposing camp, is a work of analytical history, though of equal value. This book originally appeared with a third piece concerning the American Civil War but this has been removed from this edition by the Leonaur editors to give the present edition a clearer more focus. Available in softcover and hardback for collectors."

When the Vespa debuted in 1946, it was received with an air of skepticism. It was not a motorcycle but rather a vehicle born from the union between a car and an airplane. But it soon became a success. It was the first two-wheeled version of the "compact" and responded perfectly to the post-war need for mobility. It has also become famous for its unique design that many have tried to imitate; it truly is an icon. The Vespa is not just any scooter, it is THE scooter, known and loved all over the world. It is a rare example of a motor vehicle that has survived trends and crises while at the same time staying faithful to its original concept; a concept based on a sheet metal body that still distinguishes it from other scooters whose bodies are made of plastic. It is so much more than a mode of transportation; it is a time machine that lets us re-live some of the world's most exclusive moments of the last 72 years. From history to sports and from cinema to travel, this book's anecdotes and images, some of which have never been published before, narrate the never-ending evolution of a piece of Italy that has conquered all five continents and sold over 18 million vehicles.

This book begins by laying out a history of espionage that clearly shows that when a new technology or technique becomes available to the information gatherers in public and private sectors, they can quickly be adopted for Netspionage use. It then moves on to describe how the Internet and associated technologies have already revolutionized the collection and analysis of competitive information. The convergence of dependency on networked and exploitation tools (often propagated by "hackers," "cyberpunks," and even intelligence agencies) has already resulted in several incidents that foreshadow the perilous future. Close study of these incidents demonstrates how difficult yet how important it is to confront the challenges of "netspionage" and its less intrusive cousins. The authors present a set of the known incidents and then outline protective measures that will reduce the potential and consequences of netspionage.
Unlike most security books, this one is written for managers and executives in non-protection roles of the organization, since they are the ones who must take a leadership role in safeguarding the information assets of the networked enterprise.

*Practical guide written from front-line experience
*Explains the evolution of information collection and why it has never been easier
*Highlights the tools of the trade and how they can be put to best use

This volume gathers contributions from the final workshop of the RILEM TC-251-SRT "Sulfate Resistance Testing" on External Sulfate Attack (TESA 2018), held on May 24-25, 2018 at IETcc-CSIC, Madrid, Spain. One of the Technical Committee's main events, it addressed various aspects of external sulfate attack in concrete structures and test methods. The workshop promoted technical discussions and debates on ideas on these topics, with a focus on evaluating the resistance of concrete exposed to ESA. It also provided a forum for participants from around the globe to share their experiences and research on concrete structures affected by external sulfate attack and on test methods. The book discusses the latest advances in research related to ESA and new developments in test methods, and features real-world case studies of concrete structures affected by external sulfate attack in various countries. It also presents new studies linking field cases and lab tests, including 12 contributions on 3 main themes: mechanisms of alteration in external sulfate attack; field aspects of external sulfate attack; and testing to evaluate the resistance of concrete to external sulfate attack.

This book is the first full-length educational sonic ethnography. Examines the spaces and places in school where various forms of capital normalize violence against students of color. Includes interviews by uploading sound files to a companion site and hyperlinking the files in the text.
