Karl von Clausewitz wrote that war is a trinity composed of the policy of the
government, the activities of the military, and the passions of the people.
Michael Howard argues that "each of these must be taken into account if we are
to understand both why the war happened and why it took the course it did." In
nine brisk chapters, Howard lays out the historical situation in Europe in 1914,
the dispositions of the major belligerents prior to the war, the causes of war,
the major campaigns, the entrance of the United States, the crisis, victory, and
settlement of the war. Along the way, he offers compelling insights into the
political motivations, military actions, and the "passions of the people" that
contributed most strongly to the outcome of the war.
There is no other short history of WWI on the market today written by a
historian of Michael Howard's stature. For anyone wishing to gain a quick but
authoritative understanding of one of the most crucial events of the twentieth
century, The First World War is the best place to begin.

Lyubomir T. Gruyitch, "Stability Domains (Nonlinear Systems in Aviation,
Aerospace, Aeronautics and Astronautics)"
CRC Press | ISBN 0415308488 | 2003 Year | PDF | 1,65 Mb | 336 Pages[cut]
Stability Domains is an up-to-date account of stability theory with particular
emphasis on stability domains. Beyond the fundamental basis of the theory of
dynamical systems, it includes recent developments in the classical Lyapunov
stability concept, practical stabiliy properties, and a new Lyapunov methodology
for nonlinear systems. It also introduces classical Lyapunov and practical
stability theory for time-invariant nonlinear systems in general and for complex
(interconnected, large scale) nonlinear dynamical systems in particular. This is
a complete treatment of the theory of stability domains useful for postgraduates
and researchers working in this area of applied mathematics and engineering.

Encompassing the whole spectrum of the history and theory of politics from
Socrates to Rawls, this is the most comprehensive and scholarly reference work
available on its subject. The 350 entries, written by a team of 120
international specialists, are a balanced blend of full-length survey articles
and shorter definitions. Key concepts in political thought are defined and

M.Bradbury, "Representations of Death: A Social Psychological Perspective"
Routledge | ISBN 0415150221 | 2000 Year | PDF | 3,36 Mb | 240 Pages[cut]
Exploring the world of contemporary mortuary practices, from the initial
examination to the final cremation of the body, Representations of Death
analyzes the ritual process at work and critiques the traditional models of
grief. Mary Bradbury uses the social psychological theory of social
representations to illuminate the perspectives of both the grieving relatives
and the deathwork professional. The book shows how social representations--such
as the perceived "goodness" or "badness" of a death--are an expression of a need
to make death familiar and are anchored in current mortuary practices.
