In writing this book on Rheumatism, I have endeavoured constantly to bear in mind the everyday needs of the patient and the potentially rheumatic subject with which my professional experience has made me familiar. I have there concentrated on providing the reader with the information which should prove useful when acted upon in daily life. I trust that this book will also be of value to the reader who wishes to avoid the pains and disabilities of this widespread disease-condition. If the ideas presented here were faithfully put into practice, the toll of Rheumatism would be drastically reduced. Contents: Some Observations. Causes of Rheumatism. Forms of Rheumatism. Diet and Rheumatism. The Water Cure. Manipulation and Exercise. Index. Illustrations. 190 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Light wear to cover. All pages clean, crisp and fresh. Overall, very sound and presentable. Publisher's note: In our wars since 2001, the term "front line" has long since lost its meaning. Our opponents have not been able to stand against conventional forces in battle and instead have resorted largely to guerrilla tactics, engaging our forces with IEDs, snipers, and ambushes. Into the mix of behind-the-lines attacks, combat logistics have played a larger role than ever. In Afghanistan particularly, the long convoy routes have been vulnerable to the same kind of surprise attacks suffered by the Soviets in past decades, the British 150 years ago, and Alexander the Great 2,000 years ago. In that barren landlocked country, the means to supply a Western army has to be undertaken with blood and sweat, once the panacea of mainforce or airpower is overtaxed. When he joined the Marines, Jeff Clement was not a high-speed, top-secret recon guy. A logistician instead, just out of Georgia Tech with a degree in mechanical engineering, he led combat convoys across treacherous terrain in southern Afghanistan through frequent enemy attacks in order to resupply US and British positions. As such he and his vehicles were a constant target of the resistance, and each movement was a travail, often accompanied by thundering blasts as the insurgents paved the convoy's way with IEDs. Each movment was fraught with danger, even as each objective had to be met. This book also reveals the refreshingly candid perspective of a young officer suddenly thrust into a war zone, knowing good and well that the respect of the sergeants and more experienced veterans under his command needs to be earned by his own courage and decisiveness under pressure. The Lieutenant Don't Know provides a frank and engaging look at the nitty-gritty of what our troops have been dealing with in Afghanistan, from the perspective of a young officer who was willing to learn from the "old hands," and also take responsibility for his Marines in a confusing war where combat was not merely on the "front," but all around. -- Front jacket flap Size: 23.6 x 16.3 x 2 cm. 264 pp. Shipped Weight: Under 500 grams.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Imagine yourself as a young Lieutenant with little flight time, or even a seasoned combat pilot, and your new flying duties were being described to you for the first time. 'I want you to fly an unarmed civilian airplane with no ejection seats and next to no defensive or offensive capability over some of the most well armed turf in the history of warfare. Oh, yeah, and I want you to fly it really, really low and really, really slow. As a matter of fact, while you're up there, why don't you just fly in circles over the spot and see what happens.' 1 This is not far from the reality many Forward Air Control pilots experienced during their combat tours in South Vietnam. Some of these pilots went by Jake, Covey, and Speedy call signs and flew missions over the skies of Southeast Asia. . The purpose of this paper is to analyze three distinctly different aircraft that formed the backbone of slow moving Forward Air Control during the war in Vietnam (Figure 1). The capabilities and limitations of the O-1 Bird Dog, O-2 and OV-10 Bronco and their contributions to mission effectiveness will also be discussed. See Figure 2 for photographs of the aircraft. Finally the survivability from various enemy threats to the aircraft and aircrew will be analyzed using recorded historical data. The Forward Air Controller, commonly referred to as the FAC, provided the link between the ground and air forces. They fulfilled a vital and indispensable part of the tactical air war in Southeast Asia. The FAC had many duties including control of close air support (CAS) for ground troops and Special Forces teams, Search and Rescue operations (SAR), and Visual Reconnaissance (VR) missions, to name a few. He faced many threats and was constantly restricted by limitations imposed upon him such as bad weather, the Rules of Engagement (ROE), or the simply the capability of the aircraft that he flew to accomplish his mission.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In our wars since 2001 the term 'front line' has long since lost its meaning, and the true combats have waged throughout the countries we've invaded, especially along the supply routes. Our opponents have not been able to stand with conventional forces, but instead attack inside our lines, their presence everywhere, if not always discernible. Into this mix of behind-the-lines attacks, combat logistics have played a larger role than ever. In Afghanistan particularly, the long convoy routes have been vulnerable to the same kind of surprise attacks suffered by the Soviets in past decades, the British 150 years ago, and Alexander the Great 2,000 years ago. The combats surround, and in that godforsaken landlocked land, the means to supply a Western army has to be undertaken with blood and sweat, once the quick panacea of airpower is overtaxed. When he joined the Marines, Jeff Clement was not a high-speed, top-secret recon guy. A logistician instead, he led combat convoys across treacherous terrain in southern Afghanistan through frequent enemy attacks in order to resupply US and British positions. As such he and his vehicles were a constant target of the resistance, and each movement was a travail, often accompanied by thundering blasts as the insurgents paved their way with IEDs. Each movement was fraught with danger, even as each objective had to be met. As a Marine Corps lieutenant, he deployed to Afghanistan twice, and always found a learning curve, as men previously on the ground were more savvy, and the insurgents, there for the duration, were savvier still. The Lieutenant Don't Know provides a refreshing look at the nitty-gritty of what our troops have been dealing with in Afghanistan, from the perspective of a young officer who was perfectly willing to learn, and also take responsibility for his units in a confusing war where combat was not merely on the 'front,' but all around, and looking over all their roads.…
