Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

First published in 1985. This study explores the agricultural
depression in the United States of America in the 1920's. The
author examines overproduction, wartime optimism and the farm
crisis, and continuity and change in agriculture during this
period. This title will be of great interest to students of
history, agriculture, and economics.
In recent decades, China has undergone an extraordinary
transformation from an overwhelmingly rural population to that of a
predominantly urban one. This major new Handbook examines and
explores the key features and implications of this urbanising
process from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Using three
overarching themes - progress and enhancement, dislocation and
tension, and the unique features of Chinese urban development -
leading experts in the field provide a contemporary analysis of
critical issues affecting China today. This includes the nature of
urban change, governance and migration, and how this has impacted
the politics, culture, economy and environment. Unprecedented in
depth and breadth, contributors both from within mainland China and
across the globe offer varied analyses and perspectives of
continuity and reform in policies that allow China to continue to
evolve. Sections also cover individuality, the urban-rural
interface and possible future policy directions, with crucial
discussion about continuing urbanisation in an increasingly
interconnected world. Essential reading for academics and students
of urban and Chinese studies, this Handbook provides a timely and
much needed reference work for those who want to better understand
China's urbanisation experiences. Contributors include: A.-M.

This volume provides a comprehensive examination of key issues
regarding global communication, focusing particularly on
international news and strategic communication. It addresses those
news factors that influence the newsworthiness of international
events, providing a synthesis of both theoretical and practical
studies that highlight the complicated nature of the international
news selection process. It also deals with international news
coverage, presenting research on the cross-national and
cross-cultural nature of media coverage of global events, in the
interdisciplinary context of research on political communication,
war coverage, new technologies and online communication. The work
concludes with a focus on global strategic communications: in the
age of globalization, global economies and cross-national media
ownership, chapters here provide readers with some of the most
up-to-date research on international advertising, public relations
and other key issues in international communications.
With contributions from many of the leading scholars in the
field of international media communication research, this
collection presents a valuable resource for advancing knowledge and
understanding of the complicated international communication
phenomenon. It will be of value to upper-level undergraduates and
graduate students in mass media and communication programs, and to
scholars whose research focuses on global communication
research.

This three volume set on Imperial German swords, daggers, and
bayonets is a follow-up to the authors successful and highly
acclaimed four-volume series on World War II German (2005), and his
equally heralded three-volume series on World War II German swords
(2006) - both sets from Schiffer Publishing. These new Imperial
volumes are the result of many years of arduous research on both
sides of the Atlantic with several dozen advanced Imperial blade
collectors making contributions. Additionally, the authors
long-term relationship with key personnel in the Solingen edged
weapon industry opened numerous doors in the preparation of this
invaluable reference series. No one can doubt the fact that the
quality of the Imperial sidearms far surpasses their subsequent
mass-produced Third Reich counterparts. The author was afforded
complete access to two of the most advanced Imperial edged weapon
collections in the United States and one in Germany. Whether you
own a single Imperial German edged weapon or have a massive
collection of these beautiful artifacts, this series of references
will greatly expand your knowledge and appreciation of these unique
sidearms and will prove to be a must for all German edged weapon
aficionados.

Why has the Taliban been so much more effective in presenting
messages that resonate with the Afghan population than the United
States, the Afghan Government and their allies? This book, based on
years of field research and the assessment of hundreds of original
source materials, examines the information operations and related
narratives of Afghan insurgents, especially the Afghan Taliban, and
investigates how the Taliban has won the information war. Taliban
messaging, wrapped in the narrative of jihad, is both to the point
and in tune with the target audiences it wishes to influence. On
the other hand, the United States and its Kabul allies committed a
basic messaging blunder, failing to present narratives that spoke
to or, often, were even understood by their target audiences.
Thomas Johnson systematically explains why the United States lost
this "battle of the story" in Afghanistan, and argues that this
defeat may have lost the U.S. the entire war, despite its
conventional and technological superiority.
