With the 95th (Rifles) During the Napoleonic Wars-Adventures in the
Rifle Brigade & Random Shots from a Rifleman
Unabridged, Unedited and Newly Revised-Kincaid's experiences with
the famous Rifles
John Kincaid's recollections of his time soldiering under
Wellington with the famous green coated riflemen of the 95th are
perhaps the most famous accounts by an officer of this corps
d'elite on campaign against Napoleon's French Army during the
Peninsular War and in the Campaign of 1815 as the Emperor was
finally brought to account at Waterloo. His first book, Adventures
was well received in his own time which led him-by public demand as
it were-to produce a sequel, Random Shots. Both are included in
this special Leonaur edition in their full original texts-unlike
some editions of Kincaid's works. Kincaid was a personable
character, full of fun and well liked by his brother officers of
the 95th. Predictably his likeable personality shines through his
recollections providing a clear justification for their appeal and
popularity. For the historian, Kincaid was, of course the
consummate rifleman and his soldiering took him on campaign and
onto many of the battlefields of the Peninsular War, over the
Pyrenees and into Southern France. His descriptions of the 95th in
action are invaluable as his Waterloo memoir. This is a bumper
helping of 'Rifleman Green' for every enthusiast to enjoy.
Almost all states are either federal or regionalized in some sense.
It is difficult to find a state that is entirely unitary and the
Routledge Handbook of Regionalism and Federalism necessarily takes
in almost the entire world. Both federalism and regionalism have
been subjects of a vast academic literature mainly from political
science but sometimes also from history, economics, and geography.
This cutting edge examination seeks to evaluate the two types of
state organization from the perspective of political science
producing a work that is analytical rather than simply descriptive.
The Handbook presents some of the latest theoretical reflections on
regionalism and federalism and then moves on to discuss cases of
both regionalism and federalism in key countries chosen from the
world's macro-regions. Assembling this wide range of case studies
allows the book to present a general picture of current trends in
territorial governance. The final chapters then examine failed
federations such as Czechoslovakia and examples of transnational
regionalism - the EU, NAFTA and the African Union. Covering
evolving forms of federalism and regionalism in all parts of the
world and featuring a comprehensive range of case studies by
leading international scholars this work will be an essential
reference source for all students and scholars of international
politics, comparative politics and international relations.

Courts are key players in the dynamics of federal countries since
their rulings have a direct impact on the ability of governments to
centralize and decentralize power. Courts in Federal Countries
examines the role high courts play in thirteen countries, including
Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Nigeria, Spain, and the
United States. The volume's contributors analyse the centralizing
or decentralizing forces at play following a court's ruling on
issues such as individual rights, economic affairs, social issues,
and other matters. The thirteen substantive chapters have been
written to facilitate comparability between the countries. Each
chapter outlines a country's federal system, explains the
constitutional and institutional status of the court system, and
discusses the high court's jurisprudence in light of these
features. Courts in Federal Countries offers insightful
explanations of judicial behaviour in the world's leading
federations.
