Summary

In "The Marne Battle-fields (1914)", various authors compile a compelling chronicle of the pivotal First Battle of the Marne, which marked a critical turning point in World War I. The text employs a vivid and immersive literary style, interweaving personal narratives with military analysis to convey the chaos and valor of the battle. The descriptions not only detail the strategic maneuvers involved but also poignantly capture the human experiences of the soldiers. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century warfare, this work reflects the historical significance and devastating toll of one of the war's most consequential engagements. The authors, comprised of military historians and veterans, delve into their first-hand experiences and scholarly research to provide a nuanced understanding of the battle's impact on the course of the war. Their diverse perspectives stem from a shared commitment to ensuring that the sacrifices made during this tumultuous period are not forgotten, reflecting their own connections to the events and the broader historical implications for Europe. I highly recommend "The Marne Battle-fields (1914)" to scholars and general readers alike, as it offers both an intimate portrayal of battle and a detailed strategic analysis. This book is an essential addition to any library focused on military history, World War I studies, or the exploration of human endurance in times of conflict.

    Indyref: the Scottish Referendum of 2014 in which 84.6% of the Scottish public voted, making it one of the largest voter turnouts in British political history.

This book is an inside account of the independence referendum campaign. It captures the highs and lows and twists and turns from a perspective close to the decision-making frontline, but far enough removed to offer a dispassionate and personal perspective of the unfolding events. Wishart takes the reader back to the energy, excitement and drama of the biggest political decision the Scottish people have ever been asked to participate in – a truly immersive experience, with people previously uninterested in political campaigning engaged in trying to win for their respective camp. 

The referendum changed everything in Scottish political life and its influence is felt in every one of our political institutions, and remains indelibly embedded in our political culture.

There is a very real sense that the many promises made around more powers for Scotland, made during the independence referendum 
by the uk Government, have not been realised.

The independence referendum itself may be long concluded, but its impacts, effects and legacy remain very much live. There can be no doubt that many of the constitutional debates that continue to take place today have their origins in the absorbing and beguiling campaign for independence.

    My name is Laura, I am 19 years old. I’m a student and I prostitute myself to pay for my studies. I’m not alone in this. It seems that many other students are doing the same thing. It all followed a strange logic, without me really realizing that I was falling. I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I’ve never known luxury or ease, but until this year, I’ve never lacked for anything. My thirst for learning and my convictions always made me think that my student years would be the most beautiful, the most carefree. I never thought that my first year at university would turn into a real nightmare.
An unprecedented account of a contemporary phenomenon that has only become more pronounced with the prevalence of the Internet and cell phones. The Afterword includes a sociological perspective by Eva Clouet, author of the first survey on student prostitution in the age of new communication technologies, published at the same time by Max Milo.
