THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 'A rigorous and thoughtful study of what has happened on battlefields over the past eight decades' THE TIMES 'A hugely important book ... elegantly written and persuasively argued' DAILY TELEGRAPH ** FULLY UPDATED TO INCLUDE NEW MATERIAL ON THE ISRAEL/GAZA CONFLICT ** Conflict is both a sweeping history of the evolution of warfare up to Putin's invasion of Ukraine, and a penetrating analysis of what we must learn from the past, and anticipate in the future, in order to navigate an increasingly perilous world. In this deep and incisive study, General David Petraeus, the former CIA director who commanded the US-led coalitions in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and the prize-winning historian Andrew Roberts, explore over seventy years of conflict, drawing significant lessons and insights from their fresh analysis of the past. Petraeus and Roberts show how often critical mistakes have been repeated time and again, and explore the challenge, for statesmen and generals alike, of learning to adapt to various new weapon systems, theories and strategies. Among the conflicts examined are the Arab - Israeli wars, the Korean and Vietnam wars, the two Gulf wars, the Balkan wars in the former Yugoslavia, and both the Soviet and Coalition wars in Afghanistan, as well as guerrilla conflicts in Africa and South America. Conflict culminates with a bracing look at Putin's disastrous invasion of Ukraine, yet another case study in the tragic results that occur when leaders refuse to learn from history, and an assessment of the nature of future warfare. Filled with sharp insight and the wisdom of experience, Conflict is not only a critical assessment of our recent past, but also an essential primer of modern warfare that provides crucial knowledge for waging battle today as well as for understanding what the decades ahead will bring.

A fresh, concise roadmap for U.S. grand strategy in a multipolar world For the past thirty years, post-Cold War triumphalism and a desire to reshape the world have defined U.S. foreign policy. But the failures of the global war on terror, the return of conflict to Europe, and growing tensions with China all suggest that this approach to the world is flawed. For the United States-the country that has ruled the international system largely alone since 1991-this moment is particularly perilous. Can policymakers adapt American foreign policy to better fit the twenty-first century, and in doing so avoid the pitfalls and excesses of the past three decades? In this book, Emma Ashford proposes a return to a more pragmatic, realist set of strategic principles, ones better suited for the emerging multipolar world, that would pursue narrower U.S. interests, cultivate the capabilities of friendly states, and emphasize room for maneuver over rigid alliances. In this she provides a valuable counterpoint to today's liberal internationalist consensus, as well as a road map for policymakers who seek to change the course of U.S. foreign policy.

Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year AwardThis audiobook narrated by Richard Lyddon spans 1,000 years of global history to show why technological and economic progress is often followed by stagnation and even collapseIn How Progress Ends, Carl Benedikt Frey challenges the conventional belief that economic and technological progress is inevitable. For most of human history, stagnation was the norm, and even today progress and prosperity in the world's largest, most advanced economies—the United States and China—have fallen short of expectations. To appreciate why we cannot depend on any AI-fueled great leap forward, Frey offers a remarkable and fascinating journey across the globe, spanning the past 1,000 years, to explain why some societies flourish and others fail in the wake of rapid technological change.By examining key historical moments—from the rise of the steam engine to the dawn of AI—Frey shows why technological shifts have shaped, and sometimes destabilized, entire civilizations. He explores why some leading technological powers of the past—such as Song China, the Dutch Republic, and Victorian Britain—ultimately lost their innovative edge, why some modern nations such as Japan had periods of rapid growth followed by stagnation, and why planned economies like the Soviet Union collapsed after brief surges of progress. Frey uncovers a recurring tension in history: while decentralization fosters the exploration of new technologies, bureaucracy is crucial for scaling them. When institutions fail to adapt to technological change, stagnation inevitably follows. Only by carefully balancing decentralization and bureaucracy can nations innovate and grow over the long term—findings that have worrying implications for the United States, Europe, China, and other economies today.Through a rich narrative that weaves together history, economics, and technology, How Progress Ends reveals that managing the future requires us to draw the right lessons from the past.

The purpose of this work is to analyse the impacts of the low-interest environment on the German life insurance industry and present different approaches by which life insurance providers may more effectively overcome this crisis. Over the past few decades we have witnessed numerous financial crises that have impacted interest rates which have resulted in an unprecedented drop to 0%. German life insurances are highly bound to these interest rates due to their business model and regulatory laws. Accordingly, many companies in the industry are witnessing considerable losses which are causing mediumterm solvability issues. The current economic- and demographic challenges that Germany is facing affect both the industry and the well-being of Germany¿s future pensioners. Thus, life insurances are obligated to face the current challenges and find way to adapt their business models to the low-interest environment in order to overcome this crisis.

Antisemitismus ist ein vielschichtiges Phänomen, das sich in der Vergangenheit stets an neue gesellschaftliche Verhältnisse anpassen konnte, ohne seinen Wesenskern als (Pseudo-)Rebellions-Ideologie gegen die kapitalistische Moderne zu verlieren. Neue Artikulations- und Erscheinungsformen, die sich etwa in antirassistisch-feministischen Bewegungen oft als Ressentiment gegen Israel wiederfinden, erfordern einen interdisziplinären Ansatz, um Antisemitismus als projektive Welterklärung der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft verstehen und gegen diesen präventiv vorgehen zu können. Der Band beleuchtet ideologische Kontinuitäten, neue Kommunikationsmodi und die vielfältigen Akteur:innen eines zunehmend global vernetzten antisemitischen Diskurses. Antisemitism is a multi-layered phenomenon that in the past has always been able to adapt to new societal conditions without losing its essence as an ideology of (pseudo-)rebellion against capitalist modernity. New forms of articulation and manifestation, which are often found in anti-racist and feminist movements as resentment against Israel, require an interdisciplinary approach in order to understand antisemitism as a projective world explanation of bourgeois society and to be able to take preventive action against it. The volume sheds light on ideological continuities, new modes of communication and the diverse actors of an increasingly globally integrated antisemitic discourse.

Over the past fifteen years, Austria has seen the emergence of numerous educational buildings that provide fresh impulses for new learning environments beyond the traditional corridor school layout. This development is the result of joint efforts by stakeholders in pedagogy, architecture, and public administration to adapt learning spaces to contemporary educational approaches and to activate space as a “third teacher.” This book presents fifty outstanding examples and, through essays and conversations, reflects on the contexts and conditions of their creation. It is aimed in particular at educators and architects who seek to create better learning environments and are looking for a shared foundation to do so.Concept and texts by Christian Kühn, with contributions by Barbara Feller, Renate Hammer, Roman Höllbacher, Isabella Marboe, Astrid Meyer-Hainisch, Christian Peer, Romana Ring, Theresa Schleinitz, Carla Schwaderer, Karin Schwarz-Viechtbauer, and Nicola WeberPioneering schools and kindergartens in AustriaStandard reference on contemporary, participatory educational architectureIncludes: The Charter for the Design of 21st-Century Educational Facilities as a ¬practical foundation

Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 1,0, Charles University in Prague, course: West European Politics and Society, language: English, abstract: This essay is going to examine Austriäs policy of neutrality especially in the light of its implications for the relationship to the European Union. What was once enforced became an important part of national identity and seemed also after the Cold War hindering an accession of Austria to the European Community. Over the past years Austria tried to adapt its principle of neutrality and thereby finally became a full member of the European Union 1995. However, the policy of neutrality is still on the agenda especially concerning the Constitution for Europe. The questions which will be addressed in that paper are: What is the meaning of Austriäs policy of neutrality in general? What did this implied for Austriäs foreign policy and its relationship to European Community? How comes, that this principle is still so important and how does Austria evaluate the Constitution for Europe in terms of neutrality?

The diverse body of educational institutions termed 'international schools' have grown enormously in number and profile over the past four decades yet have received little attention as 'organizations'. This book is based upon research exploring the broad area of public relations activity. In particular, the organizational culture of 'informality' and 'isolation' was investigated, as a possible distinct feature. The conclusion drawn was that international schools in the main display a strong Anglo-American organizational culture characterized by high levels of individuality and freedom, coupled with a 'family culture' more normally found in Japanese organizations. This book offers a retrospective analysis, asserting that international schools can be viewed as a 'flexible' and 'functional' type of organization. From a population ecology perspective, they appear to be a 'strong species', with a high survival rate, and an ability to adapt to changing economic and political environments. This book will be of interest to career international educators, administrators, and all other personnel interested in the sustainable governance of this type of school.

In dire need of a job, Todd Fielding accepts the offer to work at The Brindle Times-even if she has to move to the lackluster town of Brindle. As she settles into her new home, Todd is fully prepared to adapt to the boredom of small-town life, but her preconceptions of Brindle are completely shattered when a local girl disappears. Even more shocking to Todd is the town's sheer indifference to the incident. No one-not even the police-appears particularly concerned. When Todd looks deeper into the story, she discovers that five other girls have "run away" from Brindle under strange circumstances over the past twenty years. As she sets out to uncover the history of a town that has cloaked itself in secrecy for far too long, evidence of manipulation and cold-blooded murder begin to unravel. And Todd may be the next victim to pay the deadly price of silence.

For the first printing only! This hardcover features gilded edges while the special edition supply lasts. Seeking answers about her mother’s past leads a teen to a magical realm where she must learn to wield a rare magic to keep ravenous monsters at bay in this whimsically imagined young adult romantasy perfect for fans of Tahereh Mafi and A. B. Poranek. The day of her mother’s funeral, Linh is visited by a strange boy who seems vaguely familiar and claims to know secrets about her mother’s past. Feeling alone in her grief and desperate to hold onto what’s left of her mom, Linh follows the boy, Elior, and is transported into another world. Ebrirene is a realm governed by six ancient magics—light; fire, earth, water, nature, and space—and populated by talking flowers and powerful mages. Its beauty and power make it the perfect target for the greedy, vicious demons at its border. Linh’s mother used her space magic to seal the demons’ portal back when she was a princess of Ebrirene, and now Elior, the crown prince, has brought Linh here in the hope that she can strengthen her mother’s weakening protection. Linh does her best to adapt to her fantastical new surroundings and master powers she didn’t even know she had, but not everyone wants her to succeed at her task. Someone enters her into the annual tournament at the mages’ academy, which promises to be deadlier than ever before. Now, caught in a web of court intrigue and unsettled by her dangerous attraction to the prince, Linh must fight for survival against enemies that may be closer to her than she fears.
