With Our Backs to the Wall: Victory and Defeat in 1918
ISBN: 9780674725881 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 752 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. With so much at stake and so much already lost, why did World War I end with a whimper--an arrangement between two weary opponents to suspend hostilities? After more than four years of desperate fighting, with victories sometimes measured in feet and inches, why did the Allies reject the option of advancing into Germany in 1918 and taking Berlin? Most histories of the Great War focus on the avoidability of its beginning. This book brings a laser-like focus to its ominous end--the Allies' incomplete victory, and the tragic ramifications for world peace just two decades later. In the most...

The First World War and International Politics
ISBN: 9780198202813 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The horrors of the First World War--trench warfare, human tragedy, and military blunders--are well known, yet the role of politicians and diplomats has strangely been neglected. Redressing this imbalance, David Stevenson focusses on the politics of the war: why the governments of the day resorted to violence in pursuit of their political objectives, why conflict expanded to a global level, the significance of the Russian Revolution, why it was impossible to achieve compromise, and why the eventual peace settlement took the troubled form that it did. Based on detailed research in recently...

Life of Robert Stevenson: Civil Engineer
ISBN: 9781108070584 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Published in 1878, this biography of the civil engineer Robert Stevenson (1772 1850) was written by his second-youngest son David (1815 86), also a civil engineer and uncle to the author Robert Louis Stevenson. Having already published The Principles and Practice of Canal and River Engineering in 1872 (also reissued in this series), he set about writing this survey of his father's life and works, based on extracts from Robert's professional reports, notes from his diary, and communications to scientific journals and societies between 1798 and 1843.

The Nature of Life and Its Potential to Survive
ISBN: 9783319529103 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book looks at the persistence of life and how difficult it would be to annihilate life, especially a species as successful as humanity. The idea that life in general is fragile is challenged by the hardiness of microbes, which shows that astrobiology on exoplanets and other satellites must be robust and plentiful. Microbes have adapted to virtually every niche on the planet, from the deep, hot biosphere, to the frigid heights of the upper troposphere. Life, it seems, is almost indestructible. The chapters in this work examine the various scenarios that might lead to the...
