Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Japanese army’s ‘March toward Delhi’ during the Second World War, Box of Lions explores the little-known but extraordinary clash on the Imphal Plain. When Japanese forces targeted a critical British supply depot – codenamed Lion Box – rich in food and military resources they expected little resistance. Instead, they encountered an unlikely and determined defence. Composed not of hardened infantry but of drivers, administrators, sappers and storemen, these so-called ‘admin soldiers’ from Britain, India, Nepal and Africa were suddenly thrust into frontline combat. Over the course of three days of bitter fighting, they held off a professional invading force, buying time for the Allies to evacuate vital stores and shaking the confidence of the Japanese troops. Written by the son of a veteran who fought on the frontline, this gripping account draws on thirty years of research, first-hand interviews – including with Japanese survivors – and multiple journeys to the battlefield itself. Rich in oral history and raw with emotion, Box of Lions brings to life the courage, fear and resilience of ordinary men caught in extraordinary circumstances.

Le compagnie aeree low cost hanno rivoluzionato il settore dell'aviazione, ma quasi esclusivamente sulle tratte brevi e medie. Mentre l'Europa, gli Stati Uniti e l'Asia sono ormai da tempo attraversati da vettori low cost, le tratte a lungo raggio rimangono ancora oggi l'ultimo grande ostacolo al modello dei voli economici. Quali sono le ragioni di questa situazione e quali sono le implicazioni per il futuro dei viaggi globali? Il quarto volume della serie dedicata alle compagnie aeree low cost affronta questa questione cruciale. Il libro analizza perch il modello di business "low cost" difficile da applicare alle rotte intercontinentali, quali sono gli ostacoli economici, tecnici e normativi esistenti e quali approcci esistono comunque, dai pionieri come Norwegian ai nuovi concetti ibridi dei grandi gruppi aerei. chiaro che il mercato dei voli a lungo raggio non semplice. Tuttavia, la crescente pressione sui prezzi, le nuove generazioni di aerei pi efficienti e il cambiamento delle abitudini di viaggio potrebbero rimescolare le carte. Questo libro illustra le prospettive future del segmento dei voli low cost a lungo raggio e se l'era dei voli intercontinentali economici sia davvero alle porte.

Les compagnies a riennes bas prix ont r volutionn le transport a rien, mais presque exclusivement sur les courtes et moyennes distances. Alors que l'Europe, les tats-Unis et l'Asie sont depuis longtemps desservis par des transporteurs bas prix, les longues distances restent ce jour le dernier obstacle majeur au mod le des vols low cost.

Low-cost airlines have revolutionised aviation - but almost exclusively on short- and medium-haul routes. While Europe, the USA and Asia have long been saturated with low-cost carriers, long-haul flights remain the last major obstacle to the low-cost flight model. Why is this the case - and what does it mean for the future of global travel? Volume 4 of the series on low-cost airlines addresses this crucial question. The book analyses why the 'low-cost' business model is difficult to transfer to intercontinental routes, what economic, technical and regulatory hurdles exist, and what approaches are nevertheless available - from pioneers such as Norwegian to new hybrid concepts from large airline groups. It becomes clear that long-haul flights are not an easy market. However, increasing price pressure, new generations of more efficient aircraft and changing travel behaviour could reshuffle the cards. This book shows what the future holds for the low-cost long-haul segment - and whether the era of affordable intercontinental flying is really just around the corner. Bremen University Press has published over 5,000 specialist books in various languages since 2005.

Billigflieger haben die Luftfahrt revolutioniert - doch fast ausschlie lich auf der Kurz- und Mittelstrecke. W hrend Europa, die USA und Asien l ngst von Low-Cost-Carriern durchzogen sind, bleibt die Langstrecke bis heute das letzte gro e Hindernis des Billigflugmodells. Warum ist das so - und was bedeutet das f r die Zukunft des globalen Reisens? Band 4 der Reihe ber Billigfluggesellschaften widmet sich dieser entscheidenden Frage. Das Buch analysiert, warum sich das Gesch ftsmodell des "Low Cost" nur schwer auf interkontinentale Strecken bertragen l sst, welche wirtschaftlichen, technischen und regulatorischen H rden bestehen und welche Ans tze es dennoch gibt - von Pionieren wie Norwegian bis zu neuen hybriden Konzepten gro er Airline-Gruppen. Dabei wird deutlich: Die Langstrecke ist kein einfacher Markt. Doch steigender Preisdruck, neue Flugzeuggenerationen mit gr erer Effizienz und ein ver ndertes Reiseverhalten k nnten die Karten neu mischen. Dieses Buch zeigt, welche Zukunftsperspektiven das Segment der Billigflug-Langstrecke hat - und ob das Zeitalter des g nstigen interkontinentalen Fliegens wirklich bevorsteht.

Fear and Trembling: Conversations Every Christian Must Have helps people place their beliefs under the light of scripture. In doing so, readers can determine if those beliefs are of this world or biblical in origin.Author Christopher Johnson shares, "In my efforts to spread the gospel, I have come across all sorts of belief systems that are not supported by a lick of scripture. But the believers will fight tooth and nail to justify their views by misinterpreting scripture to the nth degree. For example, some people claim to be followers of Christ, but they refused to be called Christians, or some read the book of Revelation literally and surmise that Israelites are the only ones going to heaven. In each case they build their theology around their views which are totally against scripture."This book offers an unbiased approach to help believers question assumptions and expand their knowledge of scripture.

Coproduction is dedicated specifically to the study of an emerging field in music production musicology. It explores the limits of what this field might be, from the workings of a few individuals producing music together in the studio, to vast contributions of whole societies producing popular music.Taking a wide-ranging approach to examining the field, Coproduction looks through multiple formats including essays, interviews, and case studies, with analysis and commentary of coproduction experiences at Abbey Road studios. It does so by examining multiple disciplines from social science and coproduction in mental health, to philosophy and mathematics. At its extremes (which is the extreme middle and not the blunt ‘cutting edge’) the authors attempt to produce every song in their development of an all-encompassing pop music concept, peculiarly called Toast theory.In attempting to unite the pragmatic collaborative patterns of Vera John-Steiner with philosophical postmodernist concepts of connection, Coproduction has something to offer readers interested in the traditional workings of teams of producers, as well as those seeking to understand the wider philosophy of collaboration in music production.

Musicians’ Migratory Patterns: The African Drum as Symbol in Early America questions the ban that was placed on the African drum in early America. It shows the functional use of the drum for celebrations, weddings, funerals, religious ceremonies, and nonviolent communication. The assumption that "drums and horns" were used to communicate in slave revolts is undone in this study. Rather, this volume seeks to consider the "social place" of the drum for both blacks and whites of the time, using the writings of Europeans and colonial-era Americans, the accounts of African American free persons and slaves, the period instruments, and numerous illustrations of paintings and sculpture.The image of the drum was effectively appropriated by Europeans and Americans who wrote about African American culture, particularly in the nineteenth century, and re-appropriated by African American poets and painters in the early twentieth century who recreated a positive nationalist view of their African past. Throughout human history, cultural objects have been banned by one group to be used another, objects that include books, religious artifacts, and ways of dress. This study unlocks a metaphor that is at the root of racial bias—the idea of what is primitive—while offering a fresh approach by promoting the construct of multiple-points-of-view for this social-historical presentation.

First published in 1991. In this volume, the author states that is not an economic history or 'an economic analysis, although it draws upon both disciplines. However, it is an attempt at political economy. It surveys the economic policies of the Thatcher Conservatives, from their intellectual origins in Opposition to their formulation in government papers and their implementation through three terms of office. It seeks to judge the appropriateness of the policies, the competence of their execution and the degree of their success in achieving the desired effects. Johnson confirms that possible alternative policies are not discussed in detail, and we can now never know how they would have turned out. Appraisal of the Thatcher Government's policies, however, inevitably implies something about what the alternatives might have been, particularly those alternatives that members of the Government themselves seriously contemplated.

The structured oral examination (SOE) and viva are age-old integral components of examination pathways in the specialty training of intensive care medicine (ICM). The viva can present a complex interaction between the examiner and delegate, which can often be challenging even hostile! Organisation and structure are integral to success. This core text is tailored to provide a systematic structure covering a broad set of core topics that could legitimately be presented in an ICM exam. The style and discipline have been repeated throughout the answers to provide essential rehearsal as preparation for any viva-based exam. The book is presented as 7 sets of 6 viva examination cycles. This allows for timed practice sessions in the final few weeks leading up to the SOE and viva. The topics covered are pertinent for the British Fellowship of the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine (FFICM), the European Diploma of Intensive Care Medicine (EDIC) exam, the Australia and New Zealand Fellowship of the College of Intensive Care Medicine (FCICM), the Indian Diploma in Critical Care Medicine (IDCCM), the American Board exams and any other viva-based intensive care medicine exams. This book is a critical companion in the final few weeks of preparation for ICM viva exams.
