  Off The Map: A Global Atlas of...

  A 24‑lecture audio expedition into the world’s cartographic glitches—unrecognized states, disputed borders, legal voids, and places you can’t enter. We move from café‑tile sovereignty in Baarle, where a front door decides your country, to the 2015 India–Bangladesh enclave exchange, and the 2022 line cut across Hans Island’s ravine; from Ceuta and Melilla’s fences and tax codes to the Danube where hydrology argues with history; from the Bir Tawil/Hala’ib paradox to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and America’s twin sacrifice zones, Picher and Centralia.         
  We make the atlas legible: thalweg versus cadastre, uti possidetis and boundary commissions, counter‑enclaves and neutral roads, patrol lines, CBMs, and maritime geodesy. Trace Fergana’s water politics from Golovnoi gates to the Andijan/Kempir‑Abad bargain; India’s Himalayan hinge from Siachen and Galwan to Sugauli; the pastoral circuits and patrol lines that keep the Ilemi Triangle ambiguous; and the nested Nahwa‑in‑Madha‑in‑UAE trick.     
  Markets and politics are treated as geography constraints. Learn to read sovereignty by ferries, fuel receipts, and power bills; to separate romantic claims from operational control; to test what‑ifs—who could claim Bir Tawil, what shifts if Sir Creek moves—and to map chokepoints beyond lines: customs regimes, water releases, patrol logistics, recognition cycles. Then follow the consequences—duty‑free ledgers and bunkering margins, quotas and visas, surveillance and tragedy on the fence. Rigorous, narrative‑driven, and built for the intellectually ambitious, this course is an operator’s guide to the law, logistics, and lived frictions of a planet whose map won’t sit still.

  Delivering Destruction -...

  Chris K. Hemler, Allan R. Millett

  Existing literature maintains that the U.S. Marine Corps' operational success in the Pacific War rested upon two dominant themes: committed theoretical preparation and courageous battlefield action. When Japanese forces attacked at Pearl Harbor in 1941, the Corps sent its brave and spirited infantrymen to advance across the enemy-held islands of the South and Central Pacific. Though this conventional narrative captures essential elements of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps' triumph, it fails to account for substantial interwar deficiencies in fire control and coordination, as well as the critical wartime development of those capabilities between 1942 and 1945. 
   
   
    
  Delivering Destruction is the first detailed study of American triphibious (land, sea, and air) firepower coordination in the Pacific War. In describing the Amphibious Corps' development of fire coordination teams and tactics in the Central Pacific, Hemler underlines the importance of wartime adaptation, battlefield coordination, and the primacy of the human element in naval combat. He reveals the untold story of American fire control and coordination teams in the Central Pacific. Despite advancing technology and expanding "domains" of warfare, combat remains a deeply interactive, human endeavor.

  Wheels of normality - Building...

  Norms and standards make it easier for companies and other organisations to reliably meet high expectations. They thus contribute to our trust in a normality that is characterised by quality, safety and comfort - and is therefore by no means "normal". As necessary and effective as norms and standards are for a society based on the division of labour and complexity, the public awareness of them is low. That is why this non-fiction book provides for the first time an overview of norms and standards systems in Switzerland.
  From a historical and a future-oriented perspective, the book takes up the following questions: Why and how have norms and standards become so important in recent decades? How exactly do they create their economic and social benefits? To what extent can they hinder or promote innovation and transformation - and what potential does this offer for sustainable development?
  Journalists, academics and other experts provide answers based on fundamental articles and case studies from companies and other organisations.
