A historical portrait of one woman's quest for happiness amid a lifetime of bad men. There Are Victories is a proto-feminist, anti-Bildungsroman that explores the intersections of misogyny, class, religion, and prejudice within upper class Anglo-Montreal and New York City society before, during, and after WWI. Originally published in 1933, There Are Victories takes up the catastrophe of the home front and the ways in which the life--and happiness--of the novel's protagonist, Ruth Courtney, is continually undermined by the bad behaviour of men. This new edition features a foreword by Scotiabank Giller Prize winner Johanna Skibsrud.

The state of Missouri played a unique role in World War I-as the birthplace of Gen. John J. Pershing, the commanding officer of the American Expeditionary Forces, and Maj. Gen. Enoch Crowder, the primary author of the military draft-and it is an impressive legacy featuring a colorful cast of characters, events, and communities. Missouri was home to two flying aces of the war as well as Bennett Champ Clark, the youngest colonel in the American Expeditionary Forces and the first national commander of the American Legion. During the war, the state was home to farms and ranches that provided an army of mules that assisted Allied forces in hauling critical materials and equipment in the harshest of conditions. Additionally, 156,000 of the state's citizens served in the military with approximately 10,000 wounded or killed in action.

Major Hesketh Vernon Prichard, later Hesketh-Prichard DSO MC FRGS FZS was an India-born British explorer, adventurer, writer, big-game hunter, marksman, and cricketer who contributed to sniping practice within the British Army during the First World War. Concerned not only with improving the quality of marksmanship, the measures he introduced to counter the threat of German snipers were credited by a contemporary with saving the lives of over 3,500 Allied soldiers.Hesketh-Prichard eventually gained official support for his campaign, and in August 1915, he was given permission to proceed with formalized sniper training. By November of that year, his reputation was such that he was in high demand from many units. In December, he was ordered, on General Allenby's request, to the Third Army School of Instruction and was made a general staff officer with the rank of captain. On January 1, 1916, he was mentioned in dispatches.His friend George Gray, himself a champion shooter, told him that he had reduced sniping casualties from five a week per battalion to forty-four in three months in sixty battalions; by his reckoning, this meant that Hesketh-Prichard had saved over 3,500 lives. He was promoted to major in November 1916. By this time in the war, his contributions to sniping had been such that the former German superiority in the practice had now been reversed.

Der junge Handelskaufmann Albert Röber, Inhaber eines kleinen Kolonialwarenladens in Leipzig, wird 1914 zum Kriegsdienst eingezogen. Das Geschäft überlässt er einstweilen seiner Verlobten Elsa Müller. Heiraten wird man, sobald der Krieg aus ist ¿ es kann ja wohl nicht lange dauern. Einstweilen wird man sich schreiben, und zwar jeden Tag!Aber dann¿Hunderte Karten und Briefe werden zwischen Sommer 1914 und Herbst 1918 zwischen den beiden gewechselt. 1915 hat Albert begonnen, seine Karten mit humoristischen Bildchen zum Kriegsgeschehen, zur Politik, zum Soldatenleben zu illustrieren, die er gekonnt aus Illustrierten abzeichnet. Aber auch wenn es schwer fällt, muss er einsehen, dass das Versprechen, sich täglich zu schreiben, auf Dauer nur schwer einzuhalten ist. Der Umstand aber, dass geschriebene Worte kein Gespräch ersetzen und nur zu leicht Missverständnisse hervorrufen können, beginnt für beide bald ein Problem zu werden¿Alberts erhaltene Postkarten von der Front erzählen authentisch, tragisch und zugleich auch komisch die Geschichte der Trennung eines jungen Paares in Kriegszeiten.

En Syrie, aucune intervention humanitaire autorisée par le Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies n'a été lancée jusqu'à présent. Les tentatives de cessez-le-feu entre les parties impliquées ont échoué à plusieurs reprises. Cette étude examine le bilan de trois acteurs internationaux en ce qui concerne la doctrine de la responsabilité de protéger (R2P). Plus précisément, elle examine l'option consistant à institutionnaliser la responsabilité en matière d'intervention humanitaire. Pour ce faire, la doctrine de la responsabilité de protéger est analysée à travers deux organisations internationales, l'OTAN et l'UE, et un acteur national important, les États-Unis. Pour les États-Unis, les facteurs géopolitiques jouent un rôle majeur, et il est expliqué que la structure politique et les décisions du président sont cruciales pour les choix du pays. Pour l'OTAN, le manque de légitimité joue un rôle central en ce qui concerne la R2P, ainsi que le précédent historique de son implication dans le conflit en Libye en 2011. Enfin, l'UE est décrite en mettant l'accent sur les limites institutionnelles et son potentiel à devenir une autorité normative en matière de R2P. L'analyse de ces acteurs internationaux permet de replacer le conflit syrien dans une large perspective internationale.

In Siria, finora non è stato avviato alcun intervento umanitario autorizzato dal Consiglio di Sicurezza delle Nazioni Unite. I tentativi di cessate il fuoco tra le parti coinvolte sono falliti ripetutamente. Questo studio analizza tre attori internazionali in relazione al loro operato in merito alla dottrina della responsabilità di proteggere (R2P). Più specificamente, viene esaminata l'opzione di istituzionalizzare la responsabilità per l'intervento umanitario. A tal fine, la dottrina R2P viene analizzata attraverso due organizzazioni internazionali, la NATO e l'UE, e un importante attore nazionale, gli Stati Uniti. Per gli Stati Uniti, i fattori geopolitici giocano un ruolo fondamentale e viene spiegato che la struttura politica e le decisioni del presidente sono cruciali per le scelte del Paese. Per la NATO, la mancanza di legittimità gioca un ruolo centrale quando si parla di R2P, insieme al precedente storico del suo coinvolgimento nel conflitto in Libia nel 2011. Infine, l'UE è descritta con enfasi sui limiti istituzionali e sul suo potenziale di diventare un'autorità normativa in materia di R2P. Attraverso l'analisi di questi attori internazionali, si cerca di collocare il conflitto siriano in un'ampia prospettiva internazionale.

In Syrien wurde bisher keine vom Sicherheitsrat der Vereinten Nationen genehmigte humanitäre Intervention eingeleitet. Versuche, einen Waffenstillstand zwischen den beteiligten Parteien zu erreichen, sind wiederholt gescheitert. In dieser Studie werden drei internationale Akteure im Hinblick auf ihre Haltung zur R2P-Doktrin (Responsibility to Protect) untersucht. Insbesondere wird die Option untersucht, die Verantwortung für humanitäre Interventionen zu institutionalisieren. Zu diesem Zweck wird die R2P-Doktrin anhand von zwei internationalen Organisationen, der NATO und der EU, und einem wichtigen nationalen Akteur, den Vereinigten Staaten, analysiert. Für die USA spielen geopolitische Faktoren eine große Rolle, und es wird erläutert, dass die politische Struktur und die Entscheidungen des Präsidenten für die Entscheidungen des Landes entscheidend sind. Für die NATO spielt der Mangel an Legitimität eine zentrale Rolle, wenn es um R2P geht, zusammen mit dem historischen Präzedenzfall ihrer Beteiligung am Konflikt in Libyen 2011. Schließlich wird die EU beschrieben, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf den institutionellen Beschränkungen und ihrem Potenzial liegt, eine normative Autorität für R2P zu werden. Durch die Analyse dieser internationalen Akteure wird der Versuch unternommen, den Syrienkonflikt in eine breite internationale Perspektive zu stellen.

Na Síria, até à data, não foi iniciada qualquer intervenção humanitária autorizada pelo Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas. As tentativas de cessar-fogo entre as partes envolvidas falharam repetidamente. Este estudo analisa três actores internacionais no que diz respeito ao seu historial relativamente à doutrina da Responsabilidade de Proteger (R2P). Mais especificamente, é analisada a opção de institucionalizar a responsabilidade de intervenção humanitária. Para este efeito, a doutrina R2P é analisada através de duas organizações internacionais, a NATO e a UE, e de um ator nacional importante, os Estados Unidos. Para os EUA, os factores geopolíticos desempenham um papel importante, e explica-se que a estrutura política e as decisões do presidente são cruciais para as escolhas do país. Para a NATO, a falta de legitimidade desempenha um papel central no que diz respeito à R2P, juntamente com o precedente histórico do seu envolvimento no conflito na Líbia em 2011. Por último, a UE é descrita com ênfase nas limitações institucionais e no seu potencial para se tornar uma autoridade normativa em matéria de R2P. Através da análise destes actores internacionais, procura-se situar o conflito sírio numa perspetiva internacional alargada.

To look at one was to see the other. For family, even the girls' own father, it was a constant guessing game. For strangers, the surprise was overwhelming. And for the twins Olivia and Victoria Henderson, two remarkable young women coming of age at the turn of the century, their bond was mysterious, marvelous, and often playful--a secret realm only they inhabited.Olivia and Victoria were the beloved daughters of a man who never fully recovered from his wife's death bearing them in 1893. Shy, serious Olivia, born eleven minutes before her sister, had taken over the role of mother in their lush New York estate, managing not only a household but her rebellious twin's flights of fancy. Free-spirited Victoria wanted to change the world. She embraced the women's suffrage movement and dreamed of sailing to war-torn Europe. Then, in the girls' twenty-first year, as the first world war escalated overseas, a fateful choice changed their lives forever.It began when Victoria's life was about to become a public scandal. It led to a painful decision, and brought handsome lawyer Charles Dawson into the Henderson's life and family. Hand-picked by the twins' father to save his daughter's reputation, Charles was still mourning his wife's death aboard the Titanic, struggling to raise his nine year-old son alone, determined never to lose his heart again. Charles wanted to believe that, for the sake of his son, he could make an unwanted marriage work. But in an act of deception that only Olivia and Victoria could manage, the twins took an irrevocable step, which changed both their lives forever; and took one of the twins to the battlefields of France, the other into a marriage she longed for but could not have.From Manhattan society to the trenches of war-ravaged France, Mirror Image moves elegantly and dramatically through a rich and troubled era. With startling insight, Danielle Steel explores women's choices: between home and adventure, between the love for family and the passion for a cause, between sacrifice and desire. But at the heart of Mirror Image is a fascinating, realistic portrait of identical twins, two vastly different sisters who lead their lives and follow their destinies against a vivid backdrop of a world at war.

O livro tentará ler, analisar e interpretar três textos de Virginia Woolf: A Room of One's Own, Three Guineas e Mrs Dalloway num contexto material em que o poder e a resistência se encontram numa relação dinâmica em que quase se reforçam mutuamente. Em particular, reflectirá sobre a construção das mulheres envolvidas no processo de reinvenção de si próprias nos romances de Virginia Woolf à luz do feminismo "material", devido à importância primordial que este teve na visão e criatividade de Woolf. Quero agradecer à minha família; à minha mãe Huriye Dimililer e ao meu pai Yahya Dimililer. Obrigado por estarem comigo e ajudarem a minha vida. Sem o apoio da minha família, seria impossível. A ajuda de Ahmet Güneyli também foi muito apreciada. Quero dedicar este livro ao meu filho, Efe Yahya K¿sac¿k.

In dem Buch wird versucht, drei Texte von Virginia Woolf zu lesen, zu analysieren und zu interpretieren: A Room of One's Own, Three Guineas und Mrs Dalloway in einem materiellen Kontext, in dem Macht und Widerstand in einer dynamischen Beziehung stehen, in der sie sich gegenseitig verstärken. Insbesondere soll die Konstruktion von Frauen, die sich in den Romanen von Virginia Woolf neu erfinden, im Lichte des "materiellen" Feminismus betrachtet werden, da dieser für Woolfs Vision und Kreativität von überragender Bedeutung war. Ich möchte meiner Familie danken: meiner Mutter Huriye Dimililer und meinem Vater Yahya Dimililer. Danke, dass ihr mir beigestanden habt und mir in meinem Leben geholfen habt. Ohne die Unterstützung meiner Familie wäre es unmöglich. Auch die Hilfe von Ahmet Güneyli habe ich sehr zu schätzen gewusst. Ich möchte dieses Buch meinem Sohn, Efe Yahya K¿sac¿k, widmen.

The true story of German secret agents engaged in a campaign of subversion and terror in the United States before and during World War I.

“...a high-paced thriller.” — Stephen O. Sears, Author of Sunniland and The Orinoco UraniumTo earn his passage home, Dooley finds work on an ex-Russian submarine. He leaves Shanghai under the leadership of Major Dimitri Utkin on a mission that he knows little about. Also on board are others who seek escape—from the dissatisfied captain of a U.S. Navy destroyer, whose chief petty officer is on the hunt for a chest of pirated British gold sovereigns, to a young and destitute Russian countess, Zeta Tolstoy. Dooley’s expectations are complicated when he realizes that Utkin’s cadre consists of men traumatized by the war and the Bolshevik Revolution—men who plan to impose their will on America. Before he knows it, Dooley’s one-week commitment turns into a life-or-death struggle in the depths of the Pacific Ocean.
