Sinopse

This captivating anthology, 'Literary and Philosophical Essays: French, German and Italian,' gathers a rich tapestry of thought-provoking works that traverse diverse literary styles and intellectual pursuits. The collection offers an intriguing blend of essays, philosophical treatises, and critical pieces that navigate the intricacies of human experience, morality, and society. Standout pieces explore the intersections of ethics and aesthetics, grapple with the tumultuous socio-political landscapes of the 18th and 19th centuries, and examine the enduring question of human progress. Unified by their probing inquiries, these works present a compelling dialogue across national borders and centuries of intellectual history. The contributors to this anthology—Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Schiller, Ernest Renan, Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve, Giuseppe Mazzini, and Michel de Montaigne—represent a pantheon of literary and philosophical stalwarts. Each author delves into themes resonant with their respective cultural milieus, contributing notably to pivotal movements such as the Enlightenment and Romanticism. Their writings, when juxtaposed, provide a mosaic of perspectives that challenge, inform, and enrich the prevailing discourse surrounding philosophical and literary inquiry. Readers are invited to embark on a journey through this anthology, where the multiplicity of perspectives offers a feast of intellectual and cultural nourishment. This collection not only serves as an academic treasure trove but also as a catalyst for deeper contemplation regarding the essence of human thought and creativity. An invaluable asset for students, scholars, and literary enthusiasts, the volume encourages exploration beyond discipline boundaries, fostering an appreciation for the profound dialogue etched within its pages.

    "The Operations of the American Navy in France During World War I" by Henry B. Wilson provides a comprehensive account of the American Navy's role on the Atlantic Coast of France during the First World War. The book details the operational methods, which relied heavily on cooperation between the Allied forces, particularly with the French naval service. It outlines the initial phases where American forces, under Rear Admiral W. B. Fletcher and later Admiral Henry B. Wilson, operated primarily with auxiliary craft like yachts and mine-sweepers, before being augmented by destroyers.

    For the first time, a collection of testimonials gives voice to the children of lesbian couples. Sixteen of them answer the questions many people ask: does living without a father pose a problem? Do children of gay couples necessarily become gay or lesbian? Do their families share the same values as others?
    The interviewees were aged between eleven and thirty-one. They were conceived either by insemination or during previous relationships. Today, they are students, police officers or producers. They have agreed to confide in us their joys, their worries, their troubles, their hopes and the way “others” look at them.

    The GCC states are adapting defence strategies to the challenges raised by their "Visions", their post-hydrocarbon national plans. Far from being just economic programmes, the Visions are broad national transformation platforms displaying also a security dimension, and with many security implications. New cities and industrial poles, infrastructures, mega events and tourism raise unprecedented security risks, at which the GCC states are answering through a combination of economic-oriented foreign policy, multipolar international alliances, and ambitions towards "defense autonomisation". What are the Visions' security dimensions and implications, and how does the post-oil path affect and reshape foreign policies?
    This Report analyses how GCC states are adapting deterrence and defence tools to the connectivity age, navigating a troubled neighbourhood of both conventional and asymmetric threats. In a central but more vulnerable Gulf, how may the EU and NATO accommodate transformations in GCC states' defense policies, postures, and means, to support their own security?

    A comprehensive history charting the rise, fall, and rise again of women's soccer 
     
     
     
    Women's soccer is a game that has often been relegated to the margins in a world fixated on gender differences above passion and talent. It is a game that could attract 50,000 fans to a stadium in the 1920s, was later banned by England's Football Association grounds for being "unsuitable for females," and has emerged as a global force in the modern era with the US Women's National Team leading the charge. 
     
     
     
    A Woman's Game traces this arc of changing attitudes, increasing professionalism, and international growth. Veteran journalist Suzanne Wrack has crafted a thoroughly reported history which pushes back at centuries of boundaries while celebrating the many wonders that women's soccer has to offer. 
     
     
     
    With the enormous success of the World Cup, eighty-two million US viewers for the USWNT against Netherlands in the 2019 World Cup Final, enlightened and outspoken players like Megan Rapinoe helping raise the profile of the game across the world, and a fully professional top-tier league going from strength to strength in both the US and the UK, the time cannot be better for this in-depth look at the beautiful game.
