Synopsis

Alpine Warfare examines the crucial role the Alps have played in shaping European military history. It moves beyond traditional battle narratives to explore how the unique challenges of mountain warfare, such as extreme weather and treacherous terrain, have influenced military tactics and logistics. The book emphasizes that the Alps acted as a crucible, forcing military innovation and shaping broader European military strategies.

 
One intriguing insight is how the harsh environment necessitated specialized training and equipment, leading to the development of elite mountain troops. The book adopts a chronological approach, beginning with medieval conflicts and progressing through the World Wars, with dedicated attention to the Italian Front. It highlights how victories and defeats in the Alps often hinged on factors distinct from those in lowland battles, compelling commanders to adapt.

 
Alpine Warfare further explores the logistical challenges inherent in mountain warfare, demonstrating how armies innovated to maintain supply lines and troop movement. This comprehensive analysis draws from primary accounts, military archives, and topographical studies, offering a fact-based perspective on military operations in mountainous terrain. By connecting military history with geography, political science, and engineering, the book provides a nuanced understanding of the strategic importance of the Alpine front.

Democratic Delusions - How the...

Natalie Fenton

A free media is inextricably linked to a healthy democracy, but in many parts of the world liberal democracies are deemed to be dying or on the demise—a demise that many forms of media have enabled while heralding themselves as democracy's savior. The hollowing out of democracy in these ways has left many people questioning the value of (neo)liberal democratic societies. What can we do about it? 
 
    
  
Democratic Delusions explores the potential of our media and tech systems to be democratic and contribute to a just and transformative democracy. This is only possible, Natalie Fenton argues, by first situating our political systems and mediated worlds within global capitalism. By interrogating different media and their relationship to seven key elements of democracy—power, participation, freedom, equality, public good, trust, and hope—the book asks: What is the response of society when the ability of news media to speak truth to power has been restricted by corporate logic? And, how do we tackle a deep-rooted market logic that shifts public debate towards private interest and marginalizes progressive perspectives? The book explores how these elements can be reimagined through newly conceived media and tech landscapes and, ultimately, what democracy might be in a future mediated world that places more power in the hands of more people.

A time of perverts - Burn-out:...

Patrick Legeron

Burn-out affects hundreds of thousands of employees in France, and is spreading like an epidemic in the 21st century. One of the primary factors cited by specialists is increasingly brutal and manipulative managerial practices. 60% of employees feel that their manager is a source of stress for them.
With the force of analysis and vivid style that made his previous book Clan des seigneurs such a success, Paul-Antoine Martin bears witness with startling realism to the terrible collapse represented by burn-out, its causes and its impact on the lives of those it strikes. He describes the uncommonly violent management methods and harassment to which he was subjected for many months. More broadly, he denounces the totalitarian drifts underway in the world of work, as well as the general hypocrisy that reigns there, noting that society promotes leaders who are brutal, perverse and affectless.
Finally, the author tells how, thanks to his wife’s love, he gradually got back on his feet, free and stronger, despite the suffering, after-effects and relentlessness of his ex-employer. His testimony is a powerful message of hope, fighting spirit and dignity for the countless victims of burn-out. Paul-Antoine Martin, 57, an engineer by training (CentraleSupélec), has always worked in an industrial environment, from Anglo-Saxon multinationals to French public institutions. He has held senior executive positions, rubbing shoulders with captains of industry, politicians and senior civil servants.
Patrick Légeron is a psychiatrist, burn-out specialist and co-author of the Académie de médecine report on burn-out. He is the author of several books on the subject.

A History of Mevagissey - Tales...

Liz Hurley

"A great book for the armchair traveller or visitor to Cornwall. It is written as if you are sitting down with the author over a cup of tea or two and listening to tales and history. A delight." 
An engaging and informative history of Mevagissey. 
For over 800 years, Mevagissey has flourished beside the south Cornish coastline. It has, in its heyday, been a globally significant port, lighting the streets of London in the 18th century and feeding the homes of Europe. It has been battered by freak storms and a cholera outbreak but has continued unbroken, contributing in no small part to the colonisation of the world by Cornish men and women. 
This potted history gives an insight into the history of the village and takes a humorous look behind the scenes into what it is like to actually live and work in Cornwall's second largest fishing port. It debunks a few myths and introduces some lively, tall tales, as told through local voices.
