The imperial warfare of the period 1770-1830, including the
American wars of independence and the Napoleonic wars, affected
every continent. Covering southern India, the Caribbean, North and
South America, and southern Africa, this volume explores the impact
of revolutionary wars and how people's identities were shaped by
their experiences.
This volume addresses war, developing political and national
identities and the changing gender regimes of Europe and the
Americas between 1775 and 1830. Military and civilian experiences
of war and revolution, in free and slave societies, both reflected
and shaped gender concepts and practices, in relation to class,
ethnicity, race and religion.

In the period between 1775 and 1830 the transatlantic world
experienced more or less constant war, touching not only every
European country but also North and South America and the Caribbean
Islands. The Wars of Revolution and Liberation, inspired by
revolutionary or national ideologies, were increasingly fought by
conscripted troops and militias alongside professional armies. The
conduct of warfare was transformed, as mass armies were deployed by
both revolutionary and conservative regimes, deeply affecting the
political, social and gender order of the societies involved. Not
only soldiers but also civilians--men and women alike--had to be
mobilized on an unprecedented scale. This volume addresses the
relationship between these wars, developing political and national
identities and the changing gender regimes of Europe and the
Americas. Looking at both free and slave societies, it explores
military and civilian experiences of war and revolution, which
shaped as well as reflected gender concepts and practices, in
relation to class, ethnicity, race and religion.
The Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars affected millions of people's
lives across Europe and beyond. Yet the extent to which the
constant warfare of the period 1792-1815 shaped everyday experience
has been little studied. This volume of essays discusses the
formative experience of these wars for men and women, as soldiers,
citizens and civilians.
The Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars have been described as the
first 'total war', which affected millions of people's lives and
brought a whole continent into contact with armies and bloodshed.
But the extent to which the constant state of war that existed
between 1792 and 1815 shaped everyday experience has been much less
studied, even although these wars, conducted by mass armies and
often mobilized by patriotism, led to the circulation of millions
of people throughout Europe and beyond. The changing nature of
warfare had far-reaching consequences for civil society as well as
for those directly engaged in fighting. This volume of essays by
international scholars examines the formative experiences of men
and women - soldiers, citizens and civilians - in the years
1792-1815, drawing particularly on their personal documents and
social and cultural practices, to offer a perspective on the wars
which is at some distance from broader and more familiar historical
narratives.
Do you want your children to be normal or different? Do you want
them to be average or exceptional? Do you want them to be a drone
or an individual? This story shows kids how Dave discovered
strength and success hiding inside of his weaknesses. It echoes the
lessons of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Dumbo; the
characterstics that make us weak and weird are the same ones that
make us strong and unique. Instead of trying to eliminate our
unusual qualities, we need to embrace them and amplify them.
This book combines the wisdom of ancient philosophers, successful
executives and leadership gurus into a clear roadmap for leadership
success. Using stories of famous leaders and infamous failures, the
author illustrates the importance of the four factors: Influence,
Integrity, Inspiration, and Improvement. These factors are
contrasted with the pitfalls of ineffective leadership: Power,
Position, Popularity, and Personality.
