Military Leadership in the British Civil Wars, 1642-1651
Book information
Description
Несмотря на богатство литературы по истории британских гражданских войн, рассматривающей проблемы религии и экономики, локальные и или конституционные, немного работ посвящено эффективности военного командования в деле итоговой победы парламента. Это исследование синтезирует элементы анализа военного руководства в предлагаемую модель, включающую последовательно: моральный авторитет, агрессивность и военное превосходство, изменяющиеся под влиянием поведения, человеческой динамики и контекста. Для читателей, интересующихся военной историей, работа предусматривает краткое описание стратегических и оперативных данных британских Гражданских войн 1642-1651 гг. в северной Англии и Шотландии. Для историков эта работа предлагает дополнительное причинное объяснение окончательной парламентской победы. Как исследование эффективности военного руководства, через анализ социологического исследования, основанного на структуре характеристик и поведении определенных военачальников (от фантастически успешных до полных неудачников), работа предлагает модель эффективного военного руководства для настоящих и будущих поколений офицеров на всех уровнях командования.Образцы сканов:

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003. It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
