Weltkrieges, setzt man die Opferzahlen ins Verhältnis zur Größe des umkämpften Territoriums: Nach 74 Tagen härtester Kämpfe von nie zuvor erlebter Grausamkeit waren fast alle 12.300 Verteidiger tot, während selbst die siegreichen Amerikaner fast 2.000 Gefallene zu beklagen hatten. Nach der Eroberung von Peleliu nutzten die Amerikaner den dortigen Flugpla...

1940 schien der Siegeslauf der deutschen Wehrmacht unaufhaltsam: In einem Blitzkrieg von wenigen Wochen hatte sie das so starke anglo-französische Koalitionsheer niedergerungen, und diesen raschen Sieg verdankte sie vor allem der Luftwaffe. Diese war in erster Linie als taktisches Instrument des Blitzkrieges geschaffen worden. Nun aber wurde Görings Luftwaffe ein strategisches Ziel gesetzt: Die Erringung der Luftherrschaft über dem Ärmelkanal...

1940 hatten die Briten nur eine Möglichkeit zum Gegenschlag: Eine Bomberoffensive gegen Deutschland. Die Anfänge waren wenig ermutigend. Das änderte sich erst mit der Einführung kampfstarker Viermotorer wie "Stirling", "Halifax" und vor allem der legendären "Lancaster". Ungelöst blieb für den ganzen Krieg aber das Problem der Zielerkennung und des treffsicheren Bombenwurfes bei Nacht. So verfiel man auf die heißumstrittenen Flächenbombardement...

This book demonstrates the effects of globalization discourse on the British Labour governments of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. It also provides important lessons for contemporary policymakers, in the wake of a world recession that was totally avoidable but encouraged by the prescriptions of globalization discourse.

This book is a self-analysis of Shelley Robinson'sown act of creative writing. In a (modified) think-aloud protocol, Robinson metacognitively reflects upon her own act of writing, working in three rhetorical forms of writing: 1) a poem(imaginative), 2) a journal entry (expressive), and 3) an article(transactional). During this research, she expands the concept ofmetacognition to become "meta-processing" in order to bettercommunicate her reflex...
