Paperback. Condition: New. Though the French and British colonies in North America began on a 'level playing field', French political conservatism and limited investment allowed the British colonies to forge ahead, pushing into territories that the French had explored deeply but failed to exploit.The subsequent survival of 'New France' can largely be attributed to an intelligent doctrine of raiding warfare developed by imaginative French officers through close contact with Indian tribes and Canadian settlers. The ground-breaking up-to-date research explored in this study indicates that, far from the ad hoc opportunism these raids seemed to represent, they were in fact the result of a deliberate plan to overcome numerical weakness by exploiting the potential of mixed parties of French soldiers, Canadian backwoodsmen and allied Indian warriors.Supported by contemporary accounts from period documents and newly explored historical records, this study explores the 'hit-and-run' raids which kept New Englanders tied to a defensive position and ensured the continued existence of the French colonies until their eventual cession in 1763.

Soft cover. Condition: New. Paperback. Pbo. Mint. Oblong large 8vo. (20 x 21 cm). In English, German, and Turkish. Color ills. 48, [5] p. "This exhibition Technology Won't Save Us: International Young Art From Berlin, running concurrently with the 12th Istanbul Biennial, bears a title whose pessimism reflects the philosophical underpinnings of many of the works in the show. Inspired by the theories of Vilém Flusser, who in 1978 predicted a "crisis of values" in a world ruled by images rather than ideas, this exhibition consists mostly of paintings depicting a bleak, dehumanized technological world. One could instance Gábor A. Nagy's collapsing of foreground and background on his canvases - suggesting that all images are ultimately, so to speak, two-dimensional - or Adam Bota's blurring of individual and group identity in his painting of dancers in a techno club. The artists in the show are all German artists of roughly the same generation - born in the 70s or later - and their visions of the world we live in now are bracing and eye-opening".…
