Featuring specially commissioned artwork and carefully chosen photographs, this study charts the SVD Dragunov rifle’s development, combat use and lasting legacy, from Vietnam to Syria.Developed as a medium-range sniping rifle in the Soviet Union during the 1960s, the Dragunov stood out against most Western sniping rifle types by being semi-automatic, a configuration that marginally lowers accuracy compared to bolt-action sniping rifles, but which allows for faster follow-up shots. Even so, the SVD is still capable of taking precision killing shots out to 800m and beyond, making it a thoroughly practical combat weapon for marksmen and snipers.In this fully illustrated study, Chris McNab explores the Dragunov’s development and performance in detail. But the story of this weapon really comes to life with its combat history. It is the world’s most widespread sniping rifle, still in use in the former Soviet armies and sold to more than 40 countries worldwide. Its rugged design, dependable capabilities and relatively low cost mean that it has been used in every conceivable type of conflict, from Vietnam and Afghanistan to Iraq and Syria. Illustrated with cutaway artwork and battlescenes, plus technical and historical photographs, this study tells the story of this remarkable weapon, from design and ...

Fully illustrated, this study assesses the Soviet and Waffen-SS troops who contested the cities of Kharkov and Rostov-on-Don on the Eastern Front during 1942–43. As the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union unfolded, two places that suffered exceptionally severely were Kharkov (now Kharkiv) in Ukraine and Rostov-on-Don in Russia. In total, Kharkov would change hands violently four times between October 1941 and August 1943, and Rostov-on-Don also four times between November 1941 and February 1943. In this book, Chris McNab examines the fighting men of the Red Army and the Waffen-SS who clashed in three battles – one for Rostov (July 1942) and two for Kharkov (February–March and August). He clearly explains the key differences between these two opponents – training, tactics, weaponry, ideology and motivation – and examines how these differences played out in the three engagements, which ranged from open-terrain combined-arms battles to close-quarters street fighting in major urban zones. The text is complemented by specially commissioned artwork and mapping and carefully chosen archive photographs.

The war on heresy obsessed medieval Europe in the centuries after the first millennium. R. I. Moore''s vivid narrative focuses on the motives and anxieties of those who declared and conducted the war: what were the beliefs and practices they saw as heretical? How might such beliefs have arisen? And why were they such a threat?In western Europe at AD 1000 heresy had barely been heard of. Yet within a few generations accusations had become commonplace and institutions were being set up to identify and suppress beliefs and practices seen as departures from true religion. Popular accounts of events, most notably of the Albigensian Crusade led by Europe against itself, have assumed the threats posed by the heretical movements were only too real. Some scholars by contrast have tried to show that reports of heresy were exaggerated or even fabricated: but if they are correct why was the war on heresy launched at all? And why was it conducted with such pitiless ferocity? To find the answers to these and other questions R. I. Moore returns to the evidence of the time. His investigation forms the basis for an account as profound as it is startlingly original.

Chcete si vyzkoušet, jak využít svého vnitřního psychopata, abyste lépe řídili vlastní život a získali z něj co nejvíc? Mnoho z nás dosahuje úspěchu, ale platí za to vysokou cenu. Jako bychom běhali v křeččím kolečku vnějších závazků a povinností. Pod tlakem umíme zabrat. Ale co kdybychom onu zbraň, kterou nám život klade na spánek, vzali do rukou a obrátili ve svůj prospěch? Nemusíme se přitom stát někým patologickým, ale prostě jen využijeme strategie psychopatů tak, aby z toho mělo prospěch nejen naše okolí, nýbrž i my sami.Psycholog Dutton a elitní voják McNab se ve své příručce pojednávající o tom, jak se stát hodným psychopatem, zaobírají se rozmanitými oblastmi života (práce, odpočinek, zdraví, vztahy, čas, životní úkoly) a nabízejí konkrétní, praktické a přehledné kroky na cestě k spokojenějšímu životu.

Profesor Kevin Dutton se na Oxfordské univerzitě zabývá psychopaty už léta. S příslušníkem speciálních jednotek SAS Andym McNabem, novodobým hrdinou, se setkal při jednom výzkumném projektu. Fakt, že psychologické testy McNaba jednoznačně zařadily mezi psychopaty, ho nepřekvapil – zarazilo ho však, že Andy McNab je psychopatem hodným. Na rozdíl od zlých psychopatů totiž využívá charakteristické psychopatické povahové rysy, jako je bezohlednost, nebojácnost či schopnost přečíst pocity druhých, k tomu, aby v nejrůznějších situacích dostal jak ze sebe, tak z ostatních to nejlepší.Spojení Duttonových znalostí a McNabových divokých a neuvěřitelných zkušeností vyústilo v poznatek, že hodný psychopat přemýšlí jinak než běžní lidé, a že kdybychom i my jednali více sebevědomě, zachovávali si vždy chladnou hlavu, lépe využívali svůj šarm a soustředěně žili přítomným okamžikem, byli bychom v pracovním i osobním životě bezpochyby mnohem úspěšnější.

The Rise of the West, winner of the National Book Award for history in 1964, is famous for its ambitious scope and intellectual rigor. In it, McNeill challenges the Spengler-Toynbee view that a number of separate civilizations pursued essentially independent careers, and argues instead that human cultures interacted at every stage of their history. The author suggests that from the Neolithic beginnings of grain agriculture to the present major social changes in all parts of the world were triggered by new or newly important foreign stimuli, and he presents a persuasive narrative of world history to support this claim. In a retrospective essay titled "The Rise of the West after Twenty-five Years," McNeill shows how his book was shaped by the time and place in which it was written (1954-63). He discusses how historiography subsequently developed and suggests how his portrait of the world's past in The Rise of the West should be revised to reflect these changes.

''Heresy is a brilliant book'' - The Times''Enthralling'' - The Sunday Telegraph‘In the beginning was the Word,’ says the Gospel of John. This sentence – and the words of all four gospels – is central to the teachings of the Christian church and has shaped Western art, literature and language, and the Western mind.Yet in the years after the death of Christ there was not merely one word, nor any consensus as to who Jesus was or why he had mattered. There were many different Jesuses, among them the aggressive Jesus who scorned his parents and crippled those who opposed him, the Jesus who sold his twin into slavery and the Jesus who had someone crucified in his stead.Moreover, in the early years of the first millennium there were many other saviours, many sons of gods who healed the sick and cured the lame. But as Christianity spread, they were pronounced unacceptable – even heretical – and they faded from view.Now, in Heresy, Catherine Nixey tells their extraordinary story, one of contingency, chance and plurality. It is a story about what might have been.

Provides a comprehensive and up–to–date review of the development of the science behind the psychology of false confessions Four decades ago, little was known or understood about false confessions and the reasons behind them. So much has changed since then due in part to the diligent work done by Gisli H. Gudjonsson. This eye–opening book by the Icelandic/British clinical forensic psychologist, who in the mid 1970s had worked as detective in Reykjavik, offers a complete and current analysis of how the study of the psychology of false confessions came about, including the relevant theories and empirical/experimental evidence base. It also provides a reflective review of the gradual development of the science and how it can be applied to real life cases. Based on Gudjonsson’s personal account of the biggest murder investigations in Iceland’s history, as well as other landmark cases, The Psychology of False Confessions: Forty Years of Science and Practice takes readers inside the minds of those who sit on both sides of the interrogation table to examine why confessions to crimes occur even when the confessor is innocent. Presented in three parts, the book covers how the science of studying false confessions emerged and grew to become a ... Unknown localization key: "more"
