Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Number of Volumes: 3 Three volumes, complete. Partially original calf binding, covering boards and including spine, but repaired with leatherette at spine hinges and tips. Professional or semi-professional repair holds up well. Profusely illustrated with maps, charts, sketches, portraits, and diagrams. Printing of 1884 edition from 1885. Leather of boards and spine is somewhat scuffed, but generally these volumes have been used lightly. Repair added yellow pastedowns to original maroon, blue, green, and cream marbled endpapers. Page edges are also marbled in this color scheme, but somewhat faded. Volumes contain no marginalia or marking inside. Volume I is dedicated to the ancient world, volumes II and III are dedicated to the modern world, which the author begins at Late Antiquity, or around the decline of the Western Roman Empire. The modern period is largely focused on Europe, and in volume III, the United States, but also includes histories from other areas of the world, particularly in volume III. John Clark Ridpath (1840-1900) was an American educator, historian, and editor, and also the author of a later eight-volume history of the world, a sixteen-volume expansion of this encyclopedia, and a ten-volume history of the United States. Hardcover, very good condition, three volumes. 2346 total pages, vol. I 936 pp., vol. II and III 1410 pp., quarto.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Recent genetic data showing that Neanderthals interbred with modern humans have made it clear that deeper insight into the behavioral differences between these populations will be critical to understanding the rapid spread of modern humans and the demise of the Neanderthals. This volume, which brings together scholars who have worked with faunal assemblages from Europe, the Near East, and Africa, makes an important contribution to our broader understanding of Neanderthal extinction and modern human origins through its focus on variability in human hunting behavior between 70-25,000 years ago-a critical period in the later evolution of our species.

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. Original comb-bound printed wraps 22x30cm. xvi, 54, (33)pp Tables and Figures, with (2)pp card section dividers. Good with highlighter lines to several pages and a couple of ms annotations. Volume I of 2 only. Volume I contains the complete report. Volume II (not present) contained supporting Appendices on evaluation method (site details, instruments used, selection criteria, plan, costs, researcher qualifications, etc). A very rare internal document, not recorded on Worldcat. The US Army's Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence (DCSINT) rolled out six 24-Week Arabic Courses "in a crisis" in October 1990, when hostilities in the Middle East were looking increasingly likely. The aim was to teach as much Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) as possible and introduce the Iraqi dialect in 6 months at 5 locations in the US, UK and Germany. The students were Military Intelligence (MI) linguists already qualified in another language. They were to be deployed to assist fellow MI linguists already on the ground, although this did not happen "because of the early termination of hostilities" (p.iii). DCSINT asked the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC) in the US Department of Defense to assess the effectiveness of its courses, whether they should be repeated, and which of them performed best. The work was done by DLIFLC's Research Division led by John Lett Jr. It collected data from official records and on-site. This report presents background information and procedures followed (Chapters 1 and 2), findings (3), lessons (4), and implications and recommendations for planning to meet linguistic emergencies in the post-Cold War era (5). It found that across all sites, 186 students took part. The courses transferred only limited MSA and thus "not very effective". This was due to insufficient preparation during a crisis, decentralised planning, student motivation issues, methodology weaknesses, and poor consideration of language learning aptitude. The courses at the Defence School of Languages (UK) and Fort Lewis performed best, and with certain improvements could be used in future. Drawing on lessons from Desert Shield / Desert Storm, Somalia and the Balkans, the report calls for a permanent "linguist contingency corps" to ensure better preparation, and a long-term plan for linguistic contingencies supported at the highest levels of the Defense Foreign Language Program and Department of Defense.
