Beschreibung

“Land Mines” explores the multifaceted history and impact of these weapons, examining their military utility alongside their devastating humanitarian consequences. Land mines, initially intended for territorial defense and hindering enemy advances, have become a global threat, disproportionately affecting civilian populations long after conflicts subside. The book highlights the ethical dilemmas inherent in their deployment and the ongoing international efforts, such as the Ottawa Treaty, aimed at their eradication.

 
The book meticulously traces the evolution of land mine technology and strategy, analyzing their use in major conflicts through detailed case studies. It addresses the immense challenges of post-conflict mine clearance and victim assistance, while also examining the debates around anti-personnel versus anti-tank mines. Readers gain a comprehensive understanding of how these weapons have shaped military history, politics, and humanitarian issues, underscored by the tragic statistics of casualties and socio-economic disruption.

 
Progressing chronologically, the book utilizes military archives, humanitarian reports, and legal documents to offer a nuanced perspective. It connects land mine usage to broader themes within international law, human rights, and development studies, enriching its analysis and appealing to a diverse audience.

 
The book culminates by assessing the future of landmine policy and the pursuit of a mine-free world, making it a valuable resource for policymakers and those interested in military strategy.

    The second-century Greek physician Galen—the most famous doctor in antiquity after Hippocrates—is a central figure in Western medicine. A talented doctor, surgeon, writer, philosopher, teacher, pharmacologist, and inventor, Galen attended the court of Marcus Aurelius, living through outbreaks of plague that devastated the Roman Empire. He also served as a physician for professional gladiators. In writings that provided the foundation of Western medicine up to the nineteenth century, Galen created a unified account of health and disease. In How to Be Healthy, practicing physician and classical historian Katherine Van Schaik presents a collection of Galen's enduring insights about how we can take care of our bodies and minds, prevent disease, and reach a healthy old age. 
     
     
     
    Although we now know that many of Galen's ideas about physiology are wrong, How to Be Healthy shows that much of his advice remains sound. In these selections from his writings, presented in fresh translations, Galen discusses the art of medicine, exercise and diet, the mind-body connection, the difficulty of applying general medical principles to individuals, and much more. Featuring an introduction and brief commentaries that connect ancient medical practices to modern ones, How to Be Healthy offers an entertaining and enlightening new perspective on the age-old pursuit of wellness.

    St Petersburg's structures lay over the skeletons of the press-ganged servant workers who worked to build it, making it the label "the city built on bones." Historians approximate that 100,000 18th-century slaves are buried underneath the city's stunning Italianate estates and large Parisian-style streets.They passed away of cold, appetite, illness, or, if they were truly unfortunate, wolves. They were drawn from all around the Russian Empire at the time. They dedicated their lives for the magnificence of Imperial Russia, and the city they built, St Petersburg, stands as a testimony to the Russian state's single-mindedness.Its extravagant palaces radiate European elegance and were actively built in a Western way to bring Russia closer to Europe.Still, more than 3 centuries later, Russia has yet to finish this journey, and St Petersburg is a witness to the trouble of the journey.Let’s take a look at what else makes Saint Petersburg such a unique place.
