A history and a personal account of great battle in a single volume
This unique Leonaur edition contains the well known and highly
regarded personal account of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-8, by an
Australian volunteer serving as a doctor with Turkish forces.
Initially attracted by a favourable remuneration package, the
mercenary author of, 'Under the Red Crescent' often found himself
much closer to the thick of the action than his calling might
reasonably suggest. The principal actions about which his narrative
revolves are the notable battles around Plevna in 1877. To enable
readers more fully understand the battles and campaign, Charles
Ryan and John Sandes' account is accompanied here by an overview of
the battle by William V. Herbert which is supported by
illustrations and battle plans. The broader conflict, fought
between the Turkish Ottoman Empire and Russia, was motivated in
part by aspirations for independent nationhood in the Balkan
region, following centuries of Turkish domination, and by the
desire of Russia to regain some of the losses she had sustained
during the Crimean War some twenty years previously. For all those
with an interest in the many small wars in Europe during the 19th
century, that created the nation states we know today, this is an
essential book in every way.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.
Fleet Admiral "Bull" Halsey was an important allied naval leader in
World War 2. His autobiography Admiral Halsey's Story surveys the
key events of the war in which he was an active participant, from
the immediate aftermath of Pearl Harbor to battles in the South
Pacific, and to the final year of the war during which he commanded
the U.S. Third Fleet.
This book provides a theoretical and practical exploration of the
constitutional bar against cruel and unusual punishments, excessive
bail, and excessive fines. It explores the history of this
prohibition, the current legal doctrine, and future applications of
the Eighth Amendment. With contributions from the leading academics
and experts on the Eighth Amendment and the wide range of
punishments and criminal justice actors it touches, this volume
addresses constitutional theory, legal history, federalism,
constitutional values, the applicable legal doctrine, punishment
theory, prison conditions, bail, fines, the death penalty, juvenile
life without parole, execution methods, prosecutorial misconduct,
race discrimination, and law & science.
Because of severe budgetary constraints and the dwindling number of
18-year-olds, colleges and universities are looking for new ways to
keep their heads above water. One step toward a solution is to see
how others have done it. The authors focus on three important
facets of higher educational administration: strategic planning,
marketing and public relations, and fundraising. They offer their
own perspectives, include previously published journal articles by
experts, and provide an annotated bibliography of books and journal
articles on these subjects. Each citation includes a complete
bibliography entry and a 50-100 word annotation. With author/title
and subject indexes and a directory of publishers mentioned in the
book. The contributors: Peter Doyle, Gerald Newbould, Abby
Livingston, William Keim, Fred Gehrung, James Blackburn, Donald
Shandler, Roger Wadswoth, Wayne Anderson, Charles Webb, and Fisher
Howe.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of
the 28th International Workshopon Combinatorial Algorithms, IWOCA
2017, held in Newcastle, NSW, Australia, in July 2017.The 30
regular papers presented in this volume together with 5 invited
talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions.
They were organized in topical sessions named: approximation
algorithms and hardness; computational complexity; computational
geometry; graphs and combinatorics; graph colourings, labellings
and power domination; heuristics; mixed integer programming;
polynomial algorithms; privacy; and string algorithms.
This volume brings together exciting new field data by more than
two dozen Andean scholars who came together to honor their friend,
colleague, and mentor. These new studies cover the enormous
temporal span of Moseley's own work from the Preceramic era to the
Tiwanaku and Moche states to the Inka empire. And, like Moseley's
own studies -- from Maritime Foundations of Andean Civilization to
Chan Chan: The Desert City to Cerro Baul's brewery -- these new
studies involve settlements from all over the Andes -- from the far
northern highlands to the far southern coast. An invaluable
addition to any Andeanist's library, the papers in this book
demonstrate the enormous breadth and influence of Moseley's work
and the vibrant range of exciting new work by his former students
and collaborators in fieldwork.

When it originally appeared, A New Birth of Freedom represented a
milestone in Lincoln studies, the culmination of over a half a
century of study and reflection by one of America's foremost
scholars of American politics. Now reissued on the centenary of
Jaffa's birth with a new foreword by the esteemed Lincoln scholar
Allen Guelzo, this long-awaited sequel to Jaffa's earlier classic,
Crisis of the House Divided, offers a piercing examination of the
political thought of Abraham Lincoln and the themes of
self-government, equality, and statesmanship on the eve of the
Civil War. "Four decades ago, Harry Jaffa offered powerful insights
on the Lincoln-Douglas debates in his Crisis of the House Divided.
In this long-awaited sequel, he picks up the threads of that
earlier study in this stimulating new interpretation of the
showdown conflict between slavery and freedom in the election of
1860 and the secession crisis that followed. Every student of
Lincoln needs to read and ponder this book."- James M. McPherson,
Princeton University "A masterful synthesis and analysis of the
contending political philosophies on the eve of the Civil War. A
magisterial work that arrives after a lifetime of scholarship and
reflection-and earns our gratitude as well as our respect."- Kirkus
Reviews "The essence of Jaffa's case-meticulously laid out over
nearly 500 pages-is that the Constitution is not, as Lincoln put
it, a 'free love arrangement' held together by passing fancy. It is
an indissoluble compact in which all men consent to be governed by
majority, provided their inalienable rights are preserved."- Bret
Stephens; The Wall Street Journal
