The Routledge Handbook of Civil-Military Relations (eBook, PDF)
This second edition of The Routledge Handbook of Civil-Military Relations offers a wide-ranging, internationally focused overview of the field of civil-military relations. The armed forces are central actors in most societies and are involved in many different roles. Amongst other activities, they engage in peace operations, support the police in fighting crime, support civilian authorities in dealing with natural disasters, and fight against terrorists and in internal conflicts. The existing literature on this subject is limited in its discussion of warfighting and thus does not do justice to the variety of roles. This second edition not only fills this important lacuna but offers an up-to-date comparative analysis and provides a conceptual framework to analyze how strategies can realistically be implemented. Amalgamating ideas from key thinkers in the field, the book is organized into three main thematic parts: Part I: Civil-Military Relations in Non-Democratic States and Illiberal Democracies; Part II: Civil-Military Relations in New Democracies; Part III: Civil-Military Relations in Established Democracies. This handbook will be essential reading for students and practitioners in the fields of civil-military relations, defense studies, war and conflict studies, international security, and IR in general.- Shop: buecher

Dangerous Hearts: Who Not to Love , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 488min
It's another wild ride from author and psychologist Don Severance. In Dangerous Hearts: Who Not to Love, Dr. Severance has melded real vignettes from his years of practicing psychotherapy with a realistically fictitious story of the psychotherapist as professional and person. Around the profoundly impressive cases of therapy clients, a story of desire and human frailty, tenderness and strength, is woven expertly. Set in the San Francisco Bay area, Dr. Severance's character sets up his last practice. This time it will be independent, on his terms, and in the manner that he feels will facilitate the best effects of psychotherapy. All aspects of the daily life of a full-time psychologist are incorporated. The listener is presented with the often heart-wrenching stories of his clients and the delicate intricacies of a man who possesses the same desires and vulnerabilities. As always, Dr. Severance brings it all together in an unexpected and tense finale. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott O'Dell.

Obvious Adams: The Story of a Successful Business Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 67min
Published in 1916, this story is over a hundred years old, yet its message is just as relevant today as it was in 1916. Perhaps even more so. Why? Because never in the history of our society have we had greater access to information yet at the same time we’ve never been more deficient in common sense. Advertising legend David Ogilvy believed this book changed his life and was so passionate about its message that he had his employees read it every year. I’ve consumed the book a dozen times, and each time I pick up a new insight or piece of wisdom from it. It’s less a book about advertising, or even about Adams himself, as much as it’s a book about the power of mindset. I encourage you to listen and re-listen to this book a dozen times, too. I can realistically promise you that you’ll glean some new wisdom from Obvious Adams each time you listen again. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Don Amodio.

The Society of Grave Robbers: Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 374min
A highly selective and secretive group of grave robbers are recruiting on campus. They want evidence and "seeing is believing." Curious and eager to know the rules, to be "in," Martin Henniger finally gets his day...or night. At his first robbery, the crypt of Saint Adelaide in Bavaria, a rare but exciting thing happens. The six very different, flawed, and strange members converge on 10th century Italy, necessarily and somewhat deftly assuming roles in the fateful plot that surrounds the Queen Adelaide. The dark ages harbor a mercurious and darkly ambitious member of the society - one of the six perhaps - that isn't playing by the rules. Martin and the group must grapple with their individual vices and still emerge in the present with history victorious and themselves intact. The characters are perfectly imperfect, which makes this mind-flossing journey earthy and self-deprecating, yet realistically romantic and triumphant. Come be part of these seekers, if you can get "in." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stan Chandler. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/026102/bk_acx0_026102_sample.mp3.
