First to Care
Author: Graeme Hunt
Publisher: Oratia Media Ltd
ISBN: 1877514039
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
FIRST TO CARE: 125 YEARS OF THE ORDER OF ST JOHN IN NEW ZEALAND, 1885-2010 brings to life the history of one of our most ubiquitous and vital charitable organisations. The heavily illustrated book provides a vivid account of public-spiritedness, enterprise and innovation by people involved in St John over the past 125 years, peppered with occasional disputes and setbacks along the way. St John invented and popularised 'first aid' as we know it. It provided medical assistance from the sidelines of our sports fields from as early as 1891 and it played a leading role in disaster relief from its formative days. From humble beginnings it established a nationwide ambulance service that today is the envy of the St John fraternity worldwide.

The Sniper Encyclopaedia
Author: John Walter
Publisher: Casemate Publishers
ISBN: 1612007228
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
A complete guide to snipers, rifles, techniques, battles, and campaigns throughout history and around the world, by the author of The Hand Gun Story. The work features hundreds of snipers, including not only the best-known—world renowned gurus such as Vasiliy Zaytsev and Chris Kyle—but also many crack shots overlooked by history. Among them are some of more than a thousand Red Army snipers—men and women, who amassed sufficient kills to be awarded the Medal for Courage and the Order of Glory. Also included are some of the best-known sniper victims, and the veracity of the most popular myths. The book thoroughly examines the history and development of the many specialist sniper rifles—some more successful than others—that have served the world’s armies from the nineteenth-century American Wars to today’s technology-based conflicts. Attention, too, is paid to the progress made with ammunition—without which, of course, precision shooting would be impossible. The development of aids and accessories, from camouflage clothing to laser rangefinders, is also considered. Finally, The Sniper Encyclopedia examines significant locations and specific campaigns—the way marksman have influenced the course of the individual battles and places which have played a crucial part in the history of sniping, from individual sites to sniper schools and training grounds. The book contains authors’ biographies, a critical assessment of the many books and memoirs on the world of the sniper, and a guide to research techniques. “A remarkable work of research and an endless treasure trove of information for anyone with an interest in the subject.” —Martin Pegler, author of Out Of Nowhere: A History of the Military Sniper
