The Kempeitai, Japan s secret military police &amp; counter-espionage service, were held in justifiable dread in the military occupied territories of what the Japanese called the Dai Toa Kyozonken (the Japanese-occupied territories) of World War II. The Kempeitai &amp; their ethnic collaborators from Manchuria to Singapore imposed submissiveness upon reluctant nations &amp; planned brutality &amp; processes to break the human spirit. This book examines the origins of the Kempeitai &amp; its subsequent growth from out of the Japanese military police &amp; Secret Service; its recruitment &amp; training are outlined, as are its structure &amp; duties, military philosophy &amp; influence.

There was much more to 19th-century engineering than that symbolized by the much published photograph of Isambard Kingdom Brunel standing before the chains of the Great Eastern. This illustrated book draws upon contemporary engineering photographs, many of which have not been published previously, to show how broad the interests of the Victorian engineer were, and demonstrates the importance of photography in charting engineering progress. The author, the librarian of the Institution of Civil Engineers, looks at the history of civil engineering and its establishment as a profession, its worldwide growth, and in particular the influence of British civil engineering practice. Drawing chiefly on the photographic collection of the Institution of Civil Engineers, the book combines famous photographic images, such as the construction of the Eiffel Tower, with little-known archive photographs taken by on-site surveyors and engineers of the time.

Provides insight into the behavior of the principals involved in the problem of debt in Britain: buyer-debtor &amp; seller-creditor, money-borrower &amp; money-lender, banker, mortgagor, pawnbroker -- &amp; those on the sidelines who set the rules &amp; offer advice such as lawmakers, preachers, letter writers, tract writers, playwrights &amp; authors. The book tells the story through the 17th, 18th &amp; 19th cent. For some, debt was a way of life, for others, a state to be avoided at all costs; &amp; for some, to be ignored until there was no one who would save the debtor. Recently, over-indebtedness has often become the only way out, with banks, building soc. &amp; stores only too eager to provide easy credit in an attempt to counteract inflation &amp; encourage the customer to spend.
