They were young, and they were fighting a war no one wanted to
fight. They chose to serve their country despite these challenges.
In "In Our Duffel Bags ," authors Richard Geschke and Robert A.
Toto narrate the stories and the experiences of what junior army
officers faced as citizen soldiers during pre-voluntary military
service from 1969 to 1972. This memoir provides an inside view of
the military on the training fields of the Cold War in West Germany
and on the combat fields of Vietnam. It presents a poignant and
detailed drawing of what junior officers contended with during
these turbulent times in American history. From the training
grounds in Fort Benning, Georgia; to the jungle warfare school in
Panama; to the streets of West Germany; and to the rice paddies of
Vietnam, "In Our Duffel Bags " intimately describes the sights,
sounds, and smells of life in the military Much more than a
historical account, " In Our Duffel Bags " interweaves Geschke's
and Toto's individual experiences and perspectives, ties them back
to their families, and sets it all within the volatile historical
and political setting of the 1960s and 1970s. It shows how these
times affected history as well as impact current politics.
This volume examines strategies for embedding gender awareness
within translation studies and translator training programmes.
Drawing on a rich collection of theoretically-informed case
studies, its authors provide practical advice and examples on
implementing gender-inclusive approaches and language strategies in
the classroom. It focuses on topics including, how to develop
gender-inclusive practices to challenge students' attitudes and
behaviours; whether there are institutional constraints that
prevent trainers from implementing non-heteronormative practices in
their teaching; and how gender awareness can become an everyday
mode of expression. Positioned at the lively interface of gender
and translation studies, this work will be of interest to
practitioners and scholars from across the fields of linguistics,
education, sociology and cultural studies.

A feast for the eyes and an entertaining, erudite read, this book
opens with an illustrated survey of the 120 doges who led the
Venetian Republic before continuing with a detailed survey of the
incredible array of sculptures and monuments that memorialize them.
Although celebrated for painting and music, Venice has a sculptural
tradition that was overshadowed by Florence and Rome. Based on new
scholarship, this volume reveals the true magnificence of six
centuries of Venetian sculpture. With the oldest works dating to
the thirteenth century, these masterpieces fill the city s churches
and include pieces by great masters from the Lombardo family to
Antonio Rizzo, Jacopo Sansovino, Alessandro Vittoria, and
Baldassare Longhena. The sculptural marvels of Venice tell the
story of a procession of doges politicians, scholars, conquerors,
merchants, and even a saint, Pietro Orseolo over a thousand-year
history. Engaging text highlights the adventurous, eventful, and
sometimes glorious lives of these legendary figures, while the
newly commissioned photography showcases the grandeur and beauty of
a neglected aspect of Venice s cultural history.
For centuries, millions have succumbed to the magic of Venice, but
few have been able to venture into its sumptuous private spaces.
This book invites us into the extravagant interiors and secret
gardens via a tour of the grand apartments and private homes where
Venetians have forged an inspiring approach to living and
entertaining in grand Old World style. This superbly photographed
volume takes the reader behind the fabulous facades of Venice to
explore its grand interiors and local cuisine. Featuring lively
anecdotal text and stunning colour photographs of private interiors
otherwise not open to the public, and including recipes from Venice
and the surrounding Veneto region, this beautifully illustrated
volume is essential for anyone who has fantasized about living in
one of the world s most romantic cities. This is an enchanting
volume for browsers, armchair tourists, and anyone interested in
interior design.
