Free Download Adam Hook, "Siege Warfare in the Roman World: 146 BC-AD 378"
English | 2005 | pages: 68 | ISBN: 1841767824 | PDF | 29,6 mb
Osprey’s study of various siegesin Rome, from 146 BC to 378 AD. Sieges were often pivotal in Rome’s wars, including its conflicts with the Macedonians and Carthaginians in the 2nd century BC; the civil wars of the Republic; and the late Roman wars against the Sassanid Persians, who, alone amongst Rome’s adversaries, were equally skilled in siegecraft. This book discusses the siege techniques employed by Roman armies and their opponents throughout the Republic and Empire. It shows that although the 1st century AD has long been considered the golden age of siegecraft, followed by a decline, new and effective siege techniques were in fact used in the following centuries.

Free Download Plato on Time and the World by Viktor Ilievski, Daniel Vázquez, Silvia De Bianchi
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 233 Pages | ISBN : 3031281977 | 6.2 MB
This book focuses on two central topics that could help us answer how Plato conceives of the physical world and its relationship to Forms. The first one is the Platonic concept of time. What is it, how is it defined, what is it not, and how does it help us describe the changing realities surrounding us? The second one is Plato’s understanding of the perceptible world. How is it related to Forms, and how exactly does it work? These are central, wide-ranging, and highly contested questions garnering attention in recent Platonic scholarship.

‘It is my thesis that this general production of life, or subsistence production – mainly performed through the non-wage labour of women and other non-wage labourers as slaves, contract workers and peasants in the colonies – constitutes the perennial basis upon which "capitalist productive labour" can be built up and exploited.’

Free Download Tom Tullis, "PV Ventura: Harpoon Units of World War II"
English | 2002 | pages: 97 | ISBN: 1841763837 | PDF | 34,4 mb
Osprey’s examination of the PV Ventura/Harpoon Units and of their participation in World War II (1939-1945). A development of the successful Lockheed ‘medium twins’ of the late 1930s, the PV Ventura/Harpoon family of patrol bombers saw widespread service with both the US Navy/Marine Corps and the TAF and Commonwealth from October 1942 onwards. The USAAF also used surplus Venturas originally ordered by the RAF, designated B-34 Lexingtons, in the bomber training and coastal patrol roles. The final variant in this family was the larger PV-2 Harpoon, which was built to a US Navy requirement from March 1944 onwards. Used primarily in the Pacific, 470 Harpoons saw frontline service on anti-shipping and submarine patrols through to VJ-Day. This book covers each of these variants in complete illustrated detail.

Free Download Sten Nilsson, David Pitt, "Mountain World in Danger: Climate change in the forests and mountains of Europe"
English | 2013 | pages: 324 | ISBN: 0415849632 | PDF | 1,6 mb
The changing climate, the warming of the world and acid rain are among the greatest problems facing us at the end of the twentieth century. This book describes, for the first time, the effects of these phenomena on the high mountains and the forests of Europe. Mountains and the frozen regions (the cryosphere) not only play a major part in our climatic system, but are also central to our water supplies. Yet our glaciers are shrinking, our lakes and soils are becoming acidified, our forests are damaged and the whole fragile ecosystem of ranges like the Alps and the Caucasus is threatened. Nilsson and Pitt present the evidence and assess the probable effects of these changes on mountain society, tourism, water, flora and fauna. They also examine the uncertainties. Above all they look, too, at the best possible strategies in response to What is happening and at what the next steps should be.

Free Download Chris Davey, "Mosquito Aces of World War 2"
English | 2005 | pages: 97 | ISBN: 1841768782 | PDF | 2,9 mb
The Mosquito developed into one of the most versatile aircraft of World War 2, entering service with Fighter Command in early 1942. The ‘Mossie’ was soon defending raids on Britain’s Cathedral cities and became an integral part of the country’s night defences. Its airborne radar gave it the ability to ‘see’ the enemy at night, and its speed and devastating fire power made it the finest nightfighter deployed by any side during World War 2. This book examines the infamous Mosquito, the nightfighter that was used by many leading RAF, Commonwealth and American aces.
