The First Helicopter War
Author: Charles R. ShraderPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1567509320
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
Using recently released French official documents and a variety of other sources, this study explains how the French Army, so recently defeated by the Viet Minh insurgents in Indochina, was able to successfully defeat the Algerian nationalist rebels on the battlefield, while nevertheless losing the war at the conference table. This French success, between 1954 and 1962, was due in large part to the superior logistical system of the French Army and the use of the helicopter to enhance French operational mobility. French counter-mobility measures, particularly the construction of heavily defended interdiction zones on the eastern and western borders of Algeria, proved highly effective against the rebels. Such methods essentially cut off the rebel forces from their bases and from sources of supply located outside Algeria, and consequently strangled and destroyed the rebel forces within Algeria. No other work on the Algerian War focuses upon the role of logistics in the outcome of the conflict. The detailed statistical data and comprehensive description and analysis of the logistical organizations and methods of both the French and the nationalist rebels are supplemented by excellent maps. This study also provides useful insights into the nature of the wars of national liberation and counter-insurgency doctrines that dominated military affairs in the mid-20th century.
By One Spirit
Author: Lorraine CavanaghPublisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9783039113897
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
This is a book for anyone seeking a way out of deadlock in Church conflict situations. In employing a contemplative approach to the conflict in the Anglican Communion, it shows how relationships can be rebuilt with affection leading to trust. The author argues for reconciliation which comes with a renewed awareness of the dynamic activity of the Holy Spirit in the Church's life of communion. The present conflict has blocked this activity, stifling the Church's intellectual life by reducing it to a matter of issue-driven politics which have seriously undermined its relationships. The book offers the Anglican Communion the possibility of renewing its life together in a deeper and more apophatic encounter with God in which the certainties which divide it are set aside while the Church rediscovers the genuine bonds of affection which, until now, have held it together. This, it argues, is the work which needs to be undertaken before a Covenant is put in place if the Anglican Communion is to continue to reveal the Gospel in ways which are meaningful for a constantly changing and fragmented world.
La fermentation malolactique dans les vins : Mécanismes et applications pratiques
Author: RENOUF VincentPublisher: Lavoisier
ISBN: 2743065346
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
À chaque étape de l’élaboration du vin, le vinificateur n’est pas seul ; il cohabite avec d’invisibles « collègues » : les micro-organismes. Chaque vinificateur se doit de bien connaître les micro-organismes qui agissent dans son moût puis dans son vin, et de distinguer ceux qui peuvent être bénéfiques ou au contraire préjudiciables. Ces dernières années, les méthodes d’analyse génétique ont considérablement fait progresser la microbiologie du vin. La fermentation malolactique et les bactéries lactiques du vin ont été pleinement concernées par cet essor des connaissances scientifiques. La fermentation malolactique est une étape relativement récente dans le processus d’élaboration des vins, mais d’une importance considérable. Tous les travaux réalisés en amont (qualité des raisins, déroulement de la fermentation alcoolique) et en aval (élevage, stabilisation et préparation du vin à son conditionnement) peuvent être affectés par son déroulement.Cependant, la fermentation malolactique reste bien souvent une étape de la vinification aléatoire et insuffisamment maîtrisée. Cet ouvrage est le premier travail de synthèse qui aborde à la fois les bases scientifiques fondamentales sur les bactéries lactiques du vin et le processus de fermentation malolactique, les développements récents de la recherche (dans sa première partie) et des situations rencontrées en production, au travers de nombreuses expérimentations et observations de terrain (dans sa seconde partie). Illustré de nombreux exemples précis et de protocoles détaillés, cet ouvrage s’adresse à tous les praticiens et professionnels du vin. Les œnologues, les producteurs, les laboratoires et les étudiants en œnologie y trouveront de nombreuses informations techniques leur permettant de mieux appréhender la complexité de la fermentation malolactique, d’optimiser son déroulement dans leur chai ainsi que les outils adaptés pour solutionner certaines situations problématiques précises. Les chercheurs y trouveront les applications pratiques de leurs travaux et des voies d’amélioration possibles afin de mieux répondre aux problématiques de terrain rencontrées au quotidien par les praticiens.
Advances In The History Of Mathematics Education
Author: Alexander KarpPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030952355
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
This book is a collection of scholarly studies in the history of mathematics education, very abbreviated versions of which were presented at the ICMI Congress in 2021. The book discusses issues in education in Brazil and Belgium, in Poland and Spain, in Russia and the United States. Probably the main factor that unifies the chapters of the book is their attention to key moments in the formation of the field of mathematics education. Topics discussed in the book include the formation and development of mathematics education for women; the role of the research mathematician in the formation of standards for writing textbooks; the formation of curricula and the most active figures in this formation during the New Math period; the formation of certain distinctive features of curricula in Poland; the formation of the views of David Eugene Smith and the influence of European mathematics education on him; the formation of the American mathematics community; and the creation of such forms of student assessment as entrance exams to higher educational institutions. The book is of interest not only to historians of mathematics education, but also to wide segments of specialists in other areas of mathematics education.
A Diplomatic Revolution
Author: Matthew ConnellyPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199881804
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 427
Book Description
Algeria sits at the crossroads of the Atlantic, European, Arab, and African worlds. Yet, unlike the wars in Korea and Vietnam, Algeria's fight for independence has rarely been viewed as an international conflict. Even forty years later, it is remembered as the scene of a national drama that culminated with Charles de Gaulle's decision to "grant" Algerians their independence despite assassination attempts, mutinies, and settler insurrection. Yet, as Matthew Connelly demonstrates, the war the Algerians fought occupied a world stage, one in which the U.S. and the USSR, Israel and Egypt, Great Britain, Germany, and China all played key roles. Recognizing the futility of confronting France in a purely military struggle, the Front de Libération Nationale instead sought to exploit the Cold War competition and regional rivalries, the spread of mass communications and emigrant communities, and the proliferation of international and non-governmental organizations. By harnessing the forces of nascent globalization they divided France internally and isolated it from the world community. And, by winning rights and recognition as Algeria's legitimate rulers without actually liberating the national territory, they rewrote the rules of international relations. Based on research spanning three continents and including, for the first time, the rebels' own archives, this study offers a landmark reevaluation of one of the great anti-colonial struggles as well as a model of the new international history. It will appeal to historians of post-colonial studies, twentieth-century diplomacy, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. A Diplomatic Revolution was winner of the 2003 Stuart L. Bernath Prize of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations, and the Akira Iriye International History Book Award, The Foundation for Pacific Quest.
Thermodynamique optimale en dimensions physiques finies
Author: FEIDT MichelPublisher: Lavoisier
ISBN: 2746295423
Category : Thermodynamics
Languages : en
Pages : 445
Book Description
La thermodynamique doit aujourd’hui s’adapter à une problématique plus large, le développement durable. Par le biais d’une approche originale utilisant des outils renouvelés, cet ouvrage apporte des réponses à ce challenge sous deux aspects : - un aspect applicatif, par la méthodologie d'optimisation sous contrainte, qui conduit à des solutions optimales faciles à comparer à l'existant, et dessine les voies et potentiels d'amélioration encore disponibles ; - un aspect fondamental, qui correspond à une vision nouvelle de la thermodynamique des machines et des systèmes. Le livre s'écarte de l'approche classique de thermodynamique de l'équilibre, développée par Carnot, pour adopter une méthode qui allie les descriptions des phénomènes dynamiques de transfert et de conversion. À ces aspects pratiques de la vie courante, s'ajoute une vision plus profonde et fondamentale du monde, en particulier la notion d'évolution, intimement liée au second principe de thermodynamique. L’auteur Ingénieur et physicien, Michel Feidt est enseignant-chercheur en thermodynamique et énergétique à l'université de Lorraine. Il anime aussi une équipe de recherche dédiée aux études des systèmes et procédés énergétiques.
