Road Rollers - Derek A. Rayner - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Road Rollers - Derek A. Rayner - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Well-surfaced roads are essential to a growing industrial nation and, as roadmaking in Britain improved from the late eighteenth century, heavy rollers hauled by men or horses were used to compact the surface. Steam power was first used to propel road rollers in the 1860s and thereafter there was rapid development, in parallel with that of the traction engine. This book outlines the development of steam rollers, with some technical details, and illustrates the different types.

Church Dogmatics Study Edition 13 - Karl Barth - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Church Dogmatics Study Edition 13 - Karl Barth - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Karl Barth''s Church Dogmatics is one of the major theological works of the 20th century. The Swiss-German theologian Karl Barth (1886-1968) was the most original and significant Reformed theologian of the twentieth century. Barth began the Church Dogmatics in 1932 and continued working on its thirteen volumes until the end of his life. Barth''s writings continue to guide and instruct the preaching and teaching of pastors and academics worldwide. The English translation was prepared by a team of scholars and edited by G. W. Bromiley and T. F. Torrance and published from 1936. A team of scholars at Princeton Theological Seminary have now provided the translation of Greek, Latin, Hebrew and French passages into English. The original is presented alongside the English translation. This makes the work more reader friendly and accessible to the growing number of students who do not have a working knowledge of the ancient languages. This new edition with translations is now available for the first time in individual volumes.

UH-1 Huey Gunship vs NVA/VC Forces - Peter E. Davies - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

UH-1 Huey Gunship vs NVA/VC Forces - Peter E. Davies - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Often described as the US Army’s aerial jeep the UH-1 Iroquois (‘Huey’) was the general-purpose vehicle that provided mobility in a hostile jungle environment which made rapid troop movement extremely challenging by any other means. Hueys airlifted troops, evacuated casualties, rescued downed pilots, transported cargo externally and enabled rapid transit of commanders in the field. Although ‘vertical aviation’ had only become a practical reality during the Korean War helicopters evolved rapidly in the decade before Vietnam and by 1965 the US Army and US Marines relied on them as primary combat tools. This was principally because North Vietnam’s armed forces had long experience of jungle operations, camouflage and evasion. Generally avoiding set-piece pitched battles they relied on rapid, frequent strikes and withdrew using routes that were generally inaccessible to US vehicles. They commonly relied on darkness and bad weather to make their moves, often rendering them immune to conventional air attack. Gunship helicopters, sometimes equipped with Firefly searchlights and early night vision light intensifiers, were more able to track and attack the enemy. Innovative tactics were required for this unfamiliar combat scenario and for a US Army that was more prepared for conventional operations in a European-type setting. One of the most valuable new initiatives was the UH-1C ‘Huey Hog’ or ‘Frog’ gunship, conceived in 1960 and offering more power and agility than the UH-1B that pioneered gunship use in combat. Heavily armed with guns and rockets and easily transportable by air these helicopters became available in large numbers and they became a major problem for the insurgent forces throughout the war.Covering fascinating details of the innovations in tactics and combat introduced by gunship helicopters, this book offers an analysis of their adaptability and usefulness in a variety of operations, while exploring the insurgent forces'' responses to the advent of ''vertical aviation''.

Anonymous Prophets and Archetypal Kings - Dr. Paul Hedley (trinity College Queensland Jones - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Anonymous Prophets and Archetypal Kings - Dr. Paul Hedley (trinity College Queensland Jones - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Paul Hedley Jones presents a coherent reading of 1 Kings 13 that is attentive to literary, historical and theological concerns. Beginning with a summary and evaluation of Karl Barth’s overtly theological exposition of the chapter – as set out in his Church Dogmatics – Jones explores how this analysis was received and critiqued by Barth''s academic peers, who focused on very different questions, priorities and methods. By highlighting substantive material in the text for further investigation, Jones sheds light on a range of hermeneutical issues that support exegetical work unseen, and additionally provides a wider scope of opinion into the conversation by reviewing the work of other scholars whose methods and priorities also diverge from those of Barth and his contemporaries. After evaluating four additional in-depth readings of 1 Kings 13, Jones presents a more theoretical discussion about perceived dichotomies in biblical studies that tend to surface regularly in methodological debates. This volume culminates with Jones’ original exposition of the chapter, which offers an interpretation that reads 1 Kings 13 as a narrative analogy, where the figure of Josiah functions as a hermeneutical key to understanding the dynamics of the story.

Stage and Mail Coaches - David Mountfield - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Stage and Mail Coaches - David Mountfield - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

It is often forgotten that in the early nineteenth century, before the arrival of the railways, Britain had the fastest and most efficient form of public overland transport the world had ever seen. By the 1820s, what had once been a hideous chore became a fashionable pastime and a boon to business. But this golden age of public long-distance coaching was short. Within twenty years, as the railways spread across Britain, it was in rapid decline, unable to compete with its faster, more comfortable and much cheaper rival.

US Army Air Force (1) - Gordon L. Rottman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

US Army Air Force (1) - Gordon L. Rottman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

In June 1941 the US Army''s air organisations were consolidated under a single command, the Army Air Forces or AAF. Its expansion was rapid and massive, and its contribution to the war effort was substantial. Books abound describing the AAF''s impressive combat record, but little has been published to record what the men inside the machines wore to stay alive and effective in the air and on the ground, or, as often as not, in the water. Gordon L. Rottman''s detailed treatment discusses the flying clothes, accessories and equipment worn and used by individual airmen fighting their often desperate battles in the sky.

Messines 1917 - Alexander Turner - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Messines 1917 - Alexander Turner - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

At 0310 hours on 7 June 1917, the pre-dawn gloom on the Western Front was shattered by the ''pillars of fire'' - the rapid detonation of 19 huge mines, secreted in tunnels under the German lines and containing 450 tonnes of explosives. Admitted by the Germans to be a ''masterstroke'', the devastating blasts caused 10,000 soldiers to later be posted simply as ''missing''. Launching a pre-planned attack into the carnage, supported by tanks and a devastating artillery barrage, the British took the strategic objective of Messines Ridge within hours. A rare example of innovation and success in the First World War (1914-1918), this book is a fresh and timely examination of a fascinating campaign.

Reimagining Restorative Justice - David O'mahony - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Reimagining Restorative Justice - David O'mahony - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

"Restorative justice theory has largely failed to keep pace with the rapid expansion of restorative practices worldwide – indeed, it is remarkable how much support RJ has when so few advocates can even define what it is. As such, this insightful and comprehensive new contribution from two of the top scholars on the frontlines of restorative justice research is hugely welcome."Professor Shadd Maruna, Centre for Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Manchester" Reimagining Restorative Justice is a reflective and balanced reconsideration of restorative justice. It deftly sweeps across the large literature on the subject, putting it in perspective, seeing anew through its wide-angle lens. Empowerment and accountability provide a fertile framework for this richly reimagined justice." Professor John Braithwaite, Australian National University"David O’Mahony and Jonathan Doak have made a significant contribution to the confusing and over-complicated field of restorative justice theory. They do so through their use of empowerment theory to bring conceptual and operational clarity to the concepts of agency and accountability in restorative processes and outcomes. As a result they develop a convincing argument for face to face dialogue between victim and perpetrator within the core of the criminal justice system. Their emphasis upon ethical and skilful practice is a welcome riposte to the rapid spread of ‘restorative justice lite’ driven by managerialism and the need to cut costs."Tim Chapman, Lecturer at the University of Ulster."O’Mahony and Doak convincingly argue that rapid developments in the practice of restorative interventions have outstripped restorative justice theory. They provide both an outstandingly helpful review of the literature and a fresh theoretical approach based on empowerment theory. Everyone seriously interested in restorative justice will want to reflect carefully on the authors’ conclusions."Anthony Bottoms, Emeritus Wolfson Professor of Criminology at the University of Cambridge. In recent years, restorative-based interventions have expanded rapidly and are increasingly viewed as a legitimate, and even superior means of delivering justice. The result of this swift but piecemeal development has been that restorative justice practice has outpaced the development of restorative justice theory. This book takes up this challenge by ‘reimagining’ a new framework for the operation of restorative justice within criminal justice. In essence, it is contended that the core empowering values of ‘agency’ and ‘accountability’ provide a lens for reimagining how restorative justice works and the normative goals it ought to encompass.

Eschatology and the Use of Psalms in Hebrews - Dr. Seth Whitaker - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Eschatology and the Use of Psalms in Hebrews - Dr. Seth Whitaker - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Seth Whitaker argues that the Psalm texts function as the structural and theological backbone of Hebrews from start to finish, and that few scholars have examined the use of Psalms outside of quotations or connected the author of Hebrews'' use of Psalms with his broader eschatological outlook. Whitaker suggests that the author’s eschatology is his dominating exegetical assumption, allowing numerous psalms to be read with multiple meanings.Whitaker further suggests that Psalms, for the author of Hebrews, not only provide messianic material for his exegetical commentary, but also speak to a deeper interpretive tradition that is detectable through scriptural allusions, shared motifs, and narrative structures. Whitaker examines three passages of Hebrews, 1:5–13, 12:18–28 and 13:15, which correspond to three perceived gaps in scholarship: the relationship between quoted texts, the author’s cultural encyclopedia, and the function of scriptural allusions. By focusing on Psalms and the eschatological nature of the author of Hebrews'' exegesis, Whitaker concludes that readers will be better suited to situate Hebrews in relation to other Second Temple and early Jewish interpretive traditions.
