Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No music CD included. Book is clean with a square, tight binding and off-white pages. Both covers and spine have minor wear that may be difficult to see in the scans. The story of the South African Special Forces ("The Recces"), from inception in the 1960s to disbandment in 1993. A unique accoun…t of one of South Africa's premier units, masters in the art of reconnaissance and clandestine warfare. Pro rata, the most highly decorated unit during the wars in Angola and Namibia/SWA. Special forces operators were carefully selected and trained to gather covert strategic and tactical information about enemy activities. They learned how to observe silently, harass the enemy and destroy selected targets -- all behind enemy lines. Frequently required to face great dread, they had to learn to control that fear in order to survive. This book brings the reconnaissance soldiers - the recces - to those who have wondered about what kind of men they were. Their families, their heartaches, their sufferings and achievements. These men were not assassins who eliminated spies in hotel rooms. They were responsible men who had a sense of integrity and served their country proudly.

Paperback. Condition: New. Analyzes the use of anecdotes as an essential rhetorical tool and form of persuasion in various literary genres in early China.Between History and Philosophy is the first book-length study in English to focus on the rhetorical functions and forms of anecdotal narratives in early China. Edited by Paul v…an Els and Sarah A. Queen, this volume advances the thesis that anecdotes-brief, freestanding accounts of single events involving historical figures, and occasionally also unnamed persons, animals, objects, or abstractions-served as an essential tool of persuasion and meaning-making within larger texts. Contributors to the volume analyze the use of anecdotes from the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty, including their relations to other types of narrative, their circulation and reception, and their central position as a mode of argumentation in a variety of historical and philosophical literary genres.

Condition: Fair. First Edition. Koningin Beatrix heeft talloze malen blijk gegeven van een grote belangstelling voor moderne kunst en vormgeving. Dit boek gaat in op de vormgevingsopdrachten waarbij zij direct of indirect betrokken is geweest: van de munten van Bruno Ninaber van Eyben in 1980 tot en met de postzegels van Samira…Ben Laloua in 2005.Els Kuijpers visualiseert de ambitie van het hof in circa 80 beelden, waarbij een vijftal ontwerpen aan een kritische blik worden onderworpen. Paul Hefting plaatst de culturele ambitie van het hof in het historische perspectief van de Oranjes als opdrachtgevers. In een tweede bijdrage analyseert hij de iconografie van de koningspostzegels, vanaf de eerste zegel met Willem III uit 1852 tot heden. De interviews van Gert Staal met prominente ontwerpers als de architect Wim Quist, de textielkunstenares Ria van Eyk en grafisch ontwerpster Irma Boom belichten het perspectief vanuit de opdrachtnemer. Dit boek is een initiatief van de Premsela Stichting.; Gebonden boek zonder losse omslag. Fris en schoon binnenwerk. Hoekje voorplat beschdigt. Aantekening met pen op achterkant voorplat. Omslag beginnende verdonkering.
