Leftover Soldiers tells the story of the Western Frontier after the last battle of the Civil War was fought near Brownsville, Texas. When the blood stopped flowing and the rifles were stacked for the last time, Texas became home to thousands of ex-soldiers from both sides, most with few prospects for their future. The story follows three ex-Union soldiers and one Confederate soldier, thrown together by circumstance, trying to move forward with their life on the ragged edges of the frontier. In the winter they find work as buffalo runners on the wide-open prairies of the Texas panhandle. In the spring they sign on as cowboys driving thousands of longhorn cattle north from San Antonio to the newly formed Wyoming Territory. Life on the prairie proves to be another battle against the weather, Indian attacks, displaced men turned outlaws and often against each other. The never-ending strain of the dangerous, back-breaking work helps to dull the horrors of war as each man comes to terms with his own past demons and begins to find his own path to the future on the prairies of the rapidly expanding country.

A topical and richly entertaining history of food preservation and food waste in Britain from the sixteenth-century kitchen to the present day. In Leftovers, Eleanor Barnett explores the many ingenious ways in which our ancestors sought to extend the life of food through preservation, the culinary reuse of leftovers and the recycling of food scraps. Embracing a broad historical lens, the book spans Tudor household management; the world-changing inventions in food preservation of the Industrial Revolution from the tin can to artificial refrigeration; the growth of public health initiatives and organised food waste collection in the Victorian era; state promotion of thrifty eating during the two World Wars; and the politics of food and packaging waste in the modern era of sustainability. Opening a window on the everyday experiences of ordinary people in the past, Leftovers reveals how factors such as religious belief, class identities and gender have historically shaped attitudes towards food waste. At a time when a third of the food we produce globally is wasted, Leftovers links its central historical focus to humanitarian and environmental issues of urgent contemporary interest - including climate change, globalisation, scientific advancement, poverty and inequality.

Reality is relative in the mind of the beholder. In the reality of the mind, all things are possible. In science a particle flows all ways. If it can happen, it will happen. So, somewhere far away, in a distant universe quite similar to our own, this story most definitely could be true, even if it's just a thought tucked away inside someone's mind. But for now, in our reality, this is just a dream. Merging with the quantum bio suit, Professor O straps on a parachute before grabbing the new born baby he laid conveniently on the floor. His leg, still bleeding from the wreck, was bandaged with some cloth torn from an old shirt. The baby cooed on the floor as the professor tied on the cloth. Now, baby in hand, he flashes through time. Popping out in the sky, exactly where Mai programmed, the professor releases his parachute. He did it this way in an open field, high in the sky, to avoid accidentally merging with some random animal, or whatever else might be running across the ground. Standing in the distance by a tree, completely unnoticed by the professor, a bright young reporter drops his cup of coffee to the ground, warm latte splashes everywhere. This was definitely a big scoop. Rushing to his old red scooter, he grabs his camera. Looking back to the sky, he knew the opportunity was gone. Back in the future, Dr. Stein, who is desperately trying to steal the professor's work, directs Mr. Ruse into a metal cage, giving him a clump of gold. His destination was much closer to the professor's than the place where Sasha was running through the woods, a place where some say a dragon is in the sky. Tristan, yet to learn any of this, connects them all.

Now fully updated and totally revised, this highly regarded classic remains the most comprehensive study available of America’s military history. Called “the preeminent survey of American military history” by Russell F. Weigley, America’s foremost military historian, For the Common Defense is an essential contribution to the field of military history. This carefully researched third edition provides the most complete and current history of United States defense policy and military institutions and the conduct of America’s wars. Without diminishing the value of its earlier editions, authors Allan R. Millett, Peter Maslowski, and William B. Feis provide a fresh perspective on the continuing issues that characterize national security policy. They have updated the work with new material covering nearly twenty years of scholarship, including the history of the American military experience in the Balkans and Somalia, analyzing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan from 2001 to 2012, and providing two new chapters on the Vietnam War. For the Common Defense examines the nation’s pluralistic military institutions in both peace and war, the tangled civil-military relations that created the country’s commitment to civilian control of the military, the armed forces’ increasing nationalization and professionalization, and America’s growing reliance on sophisticated technologies spawned by the Industrial Revolution and the Computer and Information Ages. This edition is also a timely reminder that vigilance is indeed the price of liberty but that vigilance has always been—and continues to be—a costly, complex, and contentious undertaking in a world that continually tests America’s willingness and ability to provide for the common defense.

Chinese Strategic Culture And Foreign Policy Decision Making written by Huiyun Feng and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2007-06-11 with History categories.
Examining the major academic and policy debates over China’s rise and related policy issues, this book looks into the motivations and intentions of a rising China. Most of the scholarly works on China’s rise approach the question at a structural level by looking at the international system and the systemic impact on China’s foreign policy. Traditional Realist theorists define China as a revisionist power eager to address wrongs done to them in history, whilst some cultural and historical analyses attest that China’s strategic culture has been offensive despite its weak material capability. Huiyun Feng’s path-breaking contribution to the debate tests these rival hypotheses by examining systematically the beliefs of contemporary Chinese leaders and their strategic interactions with other states since 1949 when the communist regime came to power. The focus is on tracing the historical roots of Chinese strategic culture and its links to the decision-making of six key Chinese leaders via their belief systems. Chinese Strategic Culture will be of interest to students of Chinese politics, foreign policy, strategic theory and international relations in general.

This ground-breaking work explores the lives of average soldiers from the American Revolution through the 21st-century conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. What was life really like for U.S. soldiers during America's wars? Were they conscripted or did they volunteer? What did they eat, wear, believe, think, and do for fun? Most important, how did they deal with the rigors of combat and coming home? This comprehensive book will answer all of those questions and much more, with separate chapters on the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, the Indian Wars, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II in Europe, World War II in the Pacific, the Cold War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, the Afghanistan War and War on Terror, and the Iraq War. Each chapter includes such topical sections as Conscription and Volunteers, Training, Religion, Pop Culture, Weaponry, Combat, Special Forces, Prisoners of War, Homefront, and Veteran Issues. This work also examines the role of minorities and women in each conflict as well as delves into the disciplinary problems in the military, including alcoholism, drugs, crimes, and desertion. Selected primary sources, bibliographies, and timelines complement the topical sections of each chapter.
