du Picq Ardant translation by John N. Greely and Robert C. Cotton
Battle Studies: Ancient and Modern Battle
Harrisburg PA: The Military Service Publishing Company 1947. Reprint Edition Copyright date is 1946. Hardcover. good. xxi 1 2733 pages. Frontis illustration. Facsimile. Footnotes. Appendices. Preface by Frank H. Simonds. Introduction by Ernest Judet. Some wear to top and bottom edges of spine and boards. This is part of the publisher's Military Classics series. Previous owner's decorative bookplate on fep. This translation is based on the Eighth French edition. This book was originally published in English in 1920. This classic work explains the disasters of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 and helps to predict the successes of World War I. Ardant du Picq was a colonel in the French Army who was killed in 1870 in the Franco-Prussian War. The work was not completed by him but Du Picq had written many chapters completely and left sufficient notes behind to complete the book. The theme of the book according to Marshal Foch is that "moral force" is the most powerful element in the strength of armies and the preponderating influence in the outcome of battles. Du Picq's work attempts to deal with the principles of warfare as an empirical study based on case studies of battles. Battle Studies became a key textbook in the French Army's �cole de Guerre in the years leading to World War I. Charles Jean Jacques Joseph Ardant du Picq 19 October 1821 - 18 August 1870 was a French Army officer and military theorist whose writings as they were later interpreted by other theorists had a great effect on French military theory and doctrine. Ardant du Picq was born on 19 October 1821. On 1 October 1844 upon graduation from the �cole sp�ciale militaire de Saint-Cyr he was commissioned a sublieutenant in the 67th. As a captain he saw action in the French expedition to Varna April-June 1853 during the Crimean War. Transferred to the 9th Chasseurs a Pied battalion December 1854 he was captured during the storming of the central bastion of Sevastopol in September 1855. He was released in December 1855 and returned to active duty. du Picq served in Syria from August 1860 to June 1861 during the French intervention. He also saw extensive service in Algeria 1864-66. He was in France at the outbreak of war with Prussia on 15 July 1870 and took command of his regiment the Tenth Regiment of the Line. He died on 18 August 1870 at the military hospital in Metz from wounds received at the Battle of Mars-la-Tour. The Military Service Publishing Company hardcover

Radiation therapy may be curative in a number of types of cancer if they are localized to one area of the body. It may also be used as part of adjuvant therapy to prevent tumor recurrence after surgery to remove a primary malignant tumor for example early stages of breast cancer. Radiation therapy is synergistic with chemotherapy and has been used before during and after chemotherapy in susceptible cancers. The subspecialty of oncology concerned with radiotherapy is called radiation oncology. The Macmillan Company hardcover

Crisp trade paperback. ; Portuguese language. "Com o �pico Ulisses sua obra maior o irland�s James Joyce revolucionou o romance moderno. Transcorrido em um �nico dia - 16 de junho de 1904 - e em uma s� cidade - Dublin - o enredo de Ulisses consegue abarcar toda a gama das emo��es e experi�ncias humanas que o leitor vivencia pelo olhos ouvidos e entranhas de personagens inesquec�veis como Leopold Bloom Stephen Dedalus e Molly Bloom. Esta tradu��o de Ulisses primorosamente concebida pela professora Bernardina da Silveira Pinheiro ao longo de sete anos de trabalho tem a inten��o de restituir o grande feito liter�rio do s�culo XX a quem de direito: o leitor. Com o mesmo registro coloquial do ingl�s usado por Joyce mas sem abrir m�o da riqueza lingu�stica que o consagrou a linguagem empregada nesta edi��o privilegia uma dimens�o mais humana da obra-prima do autor tornando-a acess�vel ao maior n�mero poss�vel de leitores. James Joyce demorou sete anos para escrever Ulisses de 1914 a 1921. Nesse per�odo atravessou a Primeira Guerra Mundial passou por complica��es financeiras e teve problemas de vis�o. Ap�s termin�-lo enfrentou ainda s�rias dificuldades para public�-lo. Depois de ser recusado no Reino Unido e nos Estados Unidos - onde foi considerado obsceno - o livro foi finalmente editado em 1922 por uma pequena livraria em Paris . da norte-americana Sylvia Beach. Ulisses seria ilegal nos Estados Unidos at� 1934 e s� seria liberado no Reino Unido tr�s anos mais tarde. Nele intercalam-se as trajet�rias de dois personagens principais Leopold Bloom e Stephen Dedalus pelas ruas de Dublin ao longo de um �nico dia 16 de junho de 1904. Sua estrutura e refer�ncias remetem � Odiss�ia �pico de Homero sobre as perip�cias de Ulisses Odisseu para os gregos em sua jornada de volta a �taca. "Bloom � Ulisses vivendo suas pequenas aventuras em Dublin; Stephen Dedalus � Tel�maco em busca de um pai; Molly Bloom � ao mesmo tempo a iludida Calipso e a fiel Pen�lope" escreveu Anthony Burgess para quem "Ulisses � um livro para se ter com que se conviver"." ; Cl�ssicosmodernos .

"Os ensaios cursos e palestras reunidos em Responsabilidade e julgamento foram produzidos nos anos 60 e 70. Neles a fil�sofa Hannah Arendt prop�e uma �tica dirigida � visibilidade no dom�nio p�blico da a��o e da pol�tica evocando mais uma vez como j� o fizera em A condi��o humana o papel decisivo da reflex�o e da cr�tica como atividades intelectuais imprescind�veis.Aqui Arendt aborda o tema da moralidade tendo em vista uma proposi��o �tica da vida contemplativa. Os ensaios relocam quest�es a respeito do pensar do querer e do julgar no dom�nio da visibilidade - estabelecida no mundo das imagens como par�metro de valora��o. As coloca��es da autora se mostram fundamentais para a constru��o de uma �tica da responsabilidade no mundo p�s-totalit�rio em que a hierarquia dos valores varia segundo as oscila��es da apar�ncia e a aliena��o impede o discernimento."; 375 pages .

Solid oversize hardcover. ; Spanish language edition. "Anyone who visits Barcelona today will come across the works of Antoni Gaud�. It was here in the capital of Catalonia that the famous master of architecture produced nearly all of his works including villas for the well-to-do bourgeoisie the expansive G�ell Park today open to the public and the famous church designed in honor of the Holy Family--a project which begun over 100 years ago and yet to be completed. Gaud� never married and devoted his life entirely to his art: architecture. His works have been acclaimed as "soothing oases in a desert of functional buildings" as "precious gems in the uniform grey of rows of houses" and the master himself was acclaimed as the "Dante of architecture". This book provides a sweeping study of his entire career presenting his complete works via texts and illustrations." - Abstract of earlier English edition. ; 239 pages . Benedict Taschen hardcover
