*****It is the soldier's personal weapon, - rifle, carbine, pistol, machine-gun - which ultimately decides the outcome of battle. Never before the Second World War had the infantryman been required to handle so large or sophisticated an armory. But never before had he been expected to shoot down an aeroplane or knock out a tank.*****.

Any class in Population/Demography is a lot more interesting when you are using this book. POPULATION does more than give you information; it also shows you how to put it into practice. From the debates over how to manage population growth in some countries, and aging populations in others, to the issues of how amazingly different the world is when people are living in urban areas with considerable control over their own mortality and fertility, POPULATION helps you understand how the world really works and how population dynamics relate to socio-economic transitions and sustainable development. You'll find compelling writing, intriguing essays and built-in study aids that help you review and prepare for tests -- while also equipping you for the rest of your life on this planet.

Airborne warfare is one of the more dramatic military phenomena of the twentieth-century. It is fast, dynamic and spectacular. In its short life it has brought about wide changes in military planning and thinking.This book presents the history of airborne warfare in a sharp, clear fashion, devoid of jargon, and includes drawings, maps and black and white and colour photographs. All aspects of airborne warfare are covered. Beginning with the interesting pre-war period when the Russians pioneered airborne operations, this perspective study of the uses of air follows the story of assault from the sky through World War II and beyond. Each theatre is taken in turn and the planning, preparation and mounting of each operation is clearly and briefly dissected, followed by a factual and critical account of that operation and its effect on related operations and battles in the same theatre.Five national airborne armies and airmobile divisions are examined in special features. Their formation, training, equipment and weapons are described and illustrated in detail.Assault from the Sky is a bracing, exciting, and, above all, illuminating account of a revolutionary concept in military strategy that has changed the concept of armed conflict in our time. It is an important contribution to military history - a work that will absorb the attention of everyone interested in military affairs.

Capital, Exploitation and Economic Crisis (Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy)

In 2008 the capitalist world was swept by the severest crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Mainstream economics neither anticipated nor could account for this disastrous financial crisis, which required massive state intervention throughout the capitalist world. Karl Marx did anticipate this type of financial collapse, arguing that it was derivative from the ‘fetishism of commodities’ inherent in the capitalist mode of production. This book substantiates the foregoing claim by a journey from Marx’s analysis of commodities to the capitalist crisis of the twenty-first century. The book demonstrates that Marx's framework (1) demonstrates that capitalism is but one historical form of class society among many; (2) explains the transition from pre-capitalist to capitalist society; (3) reveals the concrete operation of a capitalist economy; and (4) shows why others would explain the capitalist economy in alternative theoretical frameworks. The central element in his framework from which all else derives is ‘the theory of value’. This book is not an exercise in the history of thought. It is an attempt to analyze the nature of contemporary capitalist society. While Marx’s analysis of capitalism has implications for political action, these need not lead one to embrace revolution in place of reform, though it can and has provided the analytical foundation for both. Marx’s analysis of capitalism is a coherent whole, and meaningful insights cannot be obtained by extracting elements from it. Weeks starts out by looking at the nature of capitalism and an analysis circulation, money and credit unfold from the theory of value. The nature and inherent necessity of competition are demonstrated in chapter eight. A consequence of competition, expressed in the movement of capital, is technical change, the contradictory impact of which is explained in chapter nine. This is brought together with the other elements of value theory (money, credit and competition) in chapter ten, where economic crises are treated in detail. The final chapter applies the theory of crisis to the extreme financial disturbances of the 2000s. This book should be of interest to students and researchers of economics, politics and sociology.

The Irreconcilable Inconsistencies of Neoclassical Macroeconomics (Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy)

In the course of this book it is argued that the loss of what is essentially "macro" in Keynes is the result of a preference for a form of equilibrium analysis that gives unqualified support to the ideology of free markets. In the case of Marx, his theory of exploitation and from this the stress on class struggle, led to an almost complete neglect of his contribution to the analysis of the aggregate demand and supply of commodities.
