Political Minefields - Matthew Breay Bolton - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Political Minefields - Matthew Breay Bolton - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Thousands of people around the world are maimed and killed by landmines and unexploded ammunition every year. International law classifies landmines as ''evil in themselves'', but minefields are expressions of ''political minefields'' that create them and allow them to persist. In this travelogue through Iraq, Laos, Cambodia, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Sudan, South Sudan and New York City, we follow Matthew Bolton''s quest for solutions to the landmine crisis and emerging autonomous weapons. Throughout his journey we meet deminers, paramilitaries, journalists, mercenaries, diplomats, aid workers, and campaigners working in and around the minefields. It is a must-read for those working to alleviate the devastation of war.

Jack Stein's World on a Plate - Jack Stein - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Jack Stein's World on a Plate - Jack Stein - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Combining his years of culinary globetrotting and passion for British produce, Jack celebrates his favourite dishes from around the world. In this beautiful new book, Jack Stein combines his culinary experience from working in restaurants around the world and his passion for British produce to create 100 dishes to enchant and entice home cooks. From dishes such as chilli crab (using the very finest Cornish crab) and Szechuan-style pigeon to hot and sour Sumatran soup and XO clams, the recipes featured are all easy to follow and simple to make, bringing the taste of exotic holidays to our own kitchen tables. Stunning photography complements these delightful recipes, ensuring this is a book you will cook from time and time again.“In the past 20 years there have been huge movements in the way we British think about produce. As someone is involved in that conversation I have seen it change and now, more than ever, the produce that is available to the keen home cook has increased in variety and quality immensely. What this means is that the home cook is now faced with the fantastic situation of being able to source the produce needed to make great food all year round. It is important that this movement progresses, and that if we choose to source our meat, fish and other major ingredients from Britain, why not have fun with world food concepts?”

British Ironclads 1860–75 - HMS Warrior and the Royal Navy's 'Black Battlefleet' - Bog af Angus Konstam - Paperback

British Ironclads 1860–75 - HMS Warrior and the Royal Navy's 'Black Battlefleet' - Bog af Angus Konstam - Paperback

In November 1859, the French warship La Gloire was launched. She was the world''s first seagoing ironclad--a warship built from wood, but whose hull was clad in a protective layer of iron plate. Britain, not to be outdone, launched her own ironclad the following year--HMS Warrior--which, when she entered service, became the most powerful warship in the world. Just like the Dreadnought half a century later, this ship changed the nature of naval warfare forever, and sparked a frantic arms race. The..

The Rolls-Royce Armoured Car - David Fletcher

The Rolls-Royce Armoured Car - David Fletcher

The first Rolls-Royce armoured car was a privately owned vehicle fitted with a machine-gun and a limited amount of armour plate, used by the Royal Naval Air Service in Flanders in 1914. By 1915, nearly 100 had been built and turned over to the Army. From then on, as Sir Albert Stern said 'They searched the world for war', operating as far apart as the northwest frontier of India, the Middle East and southern Africa. The cars were fast, quiet and reliable but above all powerful. 'A Rolls in the desert..

A War Betwixt Englishmen - Brian Vale - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

A War Betwixt Englishmen - Brian Vale - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

In 1825 the Empire of Brazil went to war with the Republic of Argentina; the pretext was control of the north bank of the Plate, and consequently of the river itself. The conflict lasted for three years, the Argentinians dominating on land, the Brazilians at sea. As a compromise, the state of Uruguay was created as a buffer between the two.Providing a study of the naval war and its international repercussions, this book describes the struggle between Brazil, a maritime power with a huge navy and an extensive sea-borne commerce, and Argentina, which had tiny naval forces but a huge international trade carried mostly in British and American ships. It is the story of cat and mouse amid the shallows and fogs of the River Plate, as the Brazilian navy slowly strangled Argentinian trade in the face of audacious attacks by a small squadron led by the legendary William Brown; and of daring single-ship actions in the blue rollers of the Atlantic as swarms of Argentinian privateers took on both neutral vessels and Brazilian men-of-war.British and American trade were the major casualties of these tactics, and the book provides an account of the international diplomatic and naval actions which followed.

Roman Mail and Scale Armour - M.c. Bishop - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Roman Mail and Scale Armour - M.c. Bishop - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Fully illustrated, this study investigates the origins, evolution and use of the mail and scale armour worn by the soldiers and gladiators of Imperial Rome. Less glamorous than the Roman Army''s instantly recognizable plate armour but much more versatile, mail and scale armour were used by both legionaries and auxiliaries throughout Rome''s history. Developed by the Celts and quickly adopted by the Romans, mail armour was easy to make and required little maintenance. Scale was a much older form of armour, originating in the Near East during the second millennium BC. As with mail, it was used by both auxiliaries and legionaries, but like plate armour, it was much more fragile than mail. Both types of armour were also used by gladiators (principally as arm defences).New discoveries in both mail and scale, as well as in hybrid forms that mixed the two, mean that much more is now known about the development of these types of defence during the Roman period, their efficacy in battle and how they were manufactured and repaired. Featuring specially commissioned artwork and drawing upon the latest findings, this study lifts the veil on the mail and scale armour used by soldiers, gladiators and others during the heyday of Imperial Rome.

Skyscraper - Dan Cruickshank - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Skyscraper - Dan Cruickshank - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Chicago''s beautiful Reliance Building, sixteen storeys tall, was designed in 1890 by John Root and completed in 1895 by Charles B. Atwood. In its construction – metal frame, large areas of plate glass, fire-proof brick and terracotta cladding – it pioneers all the key elements of twentieth-century high-rise architecture, and many of the tenets of Modernism. Cruickshank reflects on the extraordinary architectural, artistic and engineering world of the 1890s and its great figures such as Daniel H. Burnham, Louis Sullivan and William Le Baron Jenney. He looks forward to the Reliance building''s immediate progeny, such as the 1902 Flatiron Building in New York and to the hubristic high-rise architecture of the twenty-first century. This is also the story of Gilded Age Chicago, which was burned to the ground in 1871. The city – corrupt, violent and fabulously wealthy – was ready to try anything, even revolutionary forms of architecture.
