A Concise History of the British Army.......2004-09-27

This one volume history uses a series of essays by different authors to tell the history of the British Army. Each author has a somewhat different approach, no doubt reflecting his particular expertise, but the overall quality of writing is excellent This is not a battlefield history of the British Army. While some key battles are described, the focus of this history is on policy and strategy for resourcing and employing the British Army. There is associated discussion of politics internal and external to the Army as they relate to the formulation of policy and strategy. The chapters on the First and Second World Wars are particularly well written. Those readers closely following current U.S. policy and strategy in the War on Terrorism will find interesting parrallels in the role of the British Army in safeguarding the Empire through a series of low and medium intensity conflicts. Those interested in defense transformation will find some interesting perspectives in the British struggle to rationalize the role of the Army since the end of the Cold War.

Book Description

In the first scholarly examination of education in current affairs and citizenship within the British Army in the twentieth century, S.P. MacKenzie charts the development of army education from its beginnings in the First World War, to its heyday in the Second World War, and analyses its final demise in the early 1950s. Based on extensive research, the book analyses the thinking which lay behind the establishment of army education schemes, their function and their effects. In particular, it explores the controversial question of the part played in Labour's 1945 election victory by the rank and file of the British Army, often asserted to have absorbed the left-wing attitudes of the Army Bureau of Current Affairs and the Army Educational Corps. This is a comprehensive and rigorous study, which makes an important contribution to the history of the modern British Army.

Book Description

From early Native Americans to schoolchildren today, bald eagles hold a special place of reverence in our hearts and minds, spanning time and place. The eagle is a symbol of cultures, of a nation and of freedom. It is a symbol also of our changing view of natural resources and wild places: a change from a view of endless abundance with no limits to a growing understanding of the limits of our shared natural world, of our responsibility in it and its potential loss. It is a symbol of a society awakening to the knowledge that our growing population, industrial ways and pollution can have dire effects on the world around us if we are not careful.

In the year 2000, the Bald Eagle will be dropped from the Endangered Species List, marking the successful recovery of this great bird's nesting population in the United States. Just Eagles celebrates the eagle's majestic beauty and power through 90 breathtaking photographs and text that are designed to guide the reader in finding, watching and understanding eagles safely. The text comprehensively discusses mating, territory, offspring, migration and the famous eyes, talons and hunting abilities of this amazing bird of prey. With the eagles removal from the Endangered Species List, the eagle is now a symbol of hope and recovery, of a commitment by a society to understand its connection to the natural world, to value that world around us and to work to right the wrong of a species in decline.

Beautifully photographed and complete details about the life of eagles.......2007-02-18

Every facet of an eagles life is covered in this book. Most every aspect that is covered in the narrative has a matching photo supporting the facts. The photos are absolutely gorgeous. The narrative addresses their nesting, mating, body style, family life, hunting skills, and much more. I purchased this book for a friend that has studied eagles, and he absolutely loved the book!

Beautiful!.......2001-03-02

The photographs in this book are simply gorgeous! And the accompanying text is informative and obviously written with heart. I highly recommend this book to any bird/raptor fancier!
