Navarro’s Promise

Navarro’s Promise

By: Lora Leigh

He fascinated her. Tall. Male power was an intricate part of his perfectly proportioned frame, which only increased the appeal of height, muscle and lean deadly grace. He would be perfectly suited for the cover of GQ, in a boardroom or standing, weapon drawn, teeth bared and facing any enemy. Or better yet, naked, aroused and more than ready to possess and conquer a lover too inexperienced to see beneath the surface to the male animal that awaited. He made her only too aware that she was a woman. He made her fantasize about being that lover, of finding the experience to tease and to satisfy a man in his arms. She was walking on dangerous ground, and Mica Toler knew it, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t seem to resist the intense draw the Wolf Bread Navarro Blaine had on her. Her father would have a coronary if he knew. Her mother would probably attempt to ground her. [download]

Mexico

Mexico 

By: Charles F. Gritzner

When you think about Mexico, what comes to mind? What mental “pictures” do you have of its physical environment? What images do you see of the country’s people and their way of life? How important do you think Mexicois to “norteamericanos” (Anglo-Americans) and, for that matter, to the rest of Latin Americaand to the world? Take a moment to mentally list any five things that you believe to be typical of Mexico.Does your list include small, sleepy villages with mud huts and dusty streets? Or possibly poor farmers, wearing huge sombreros, plodding along beside their burros? Perhaps it includes a parched desert with searing heat, and cacti standing like lonely sentinels with raised arms. Not surprisingly, these are images held by many Anglo-Americans who are unfamiliar with their southern neighbor. [download]

Kosovo and The Challenge of Humanitarian Intervention

Kosovo and The Challenge of Humanitarian Intervention 

By: Albrecht Schnabel and Ramesh Takur 

The Kosovo War has the potential to be a defining moment in post Cold War history. It could restructure the pattern of international relations by reshaping the relationships between regional security organizations and the United Nations, between major powers in East and West, between friends and allies within those camps, and between force and diplomacy. It may also call into question the unipolar moment that has prevailed since the end of the Cold War. Moreover, the normative, operational, and structural questions that are raised by the Kosovo crisis will have long-term consequences for the way in which we understand and inter-pret world politics. For instance, can the UN Security Council veto now effectively be circumvented to launch selective enforcement operations? How can the humanitarian imperative be reconciled with the principle of state sovereignty? [download]

Neue Steuerung im Schulsystem

Neue Steuerung im Schulsystem 

By: Herbert Artrichter 

Das vorliegende Handbuch ist zum einen geprägt durch ein Forschungsinteresse, das die Gestaltung des Schulsystems unter Berücksichtung seiner Mehrebenenarchitektur und der komplexen Handlungskoordinationen der involvierten Akteure auf der Basis theoretischer Modelle und empirischer Ergebnisse beschreiben und verstehen möchte. Zum anderen stellen die in den deutschsprachigen Ländern zu beobachtenden intensiven Reformbemühungen in Richtung eines „Umbaus“ des Steuerungssystems von einer „Input-Steuerung“ zu einer „Output-Steuerung“ bzw. „evidenzbasierten Steuerung“ und die Implementation einer grossen Anzahl neuer Steuerungsinstrumente einen Kontext dar, der der Analyse bedarf. Ziel dieses Handbuchs ist es, die Wirkungserwartungen, die an diesen „Umbau“ gestellt werden, an einer systematischen theoretischen Klärung und empirischen Überprüfung zu spiegeln und den Forschungsstand sowie dessen Defizite darzustellen.

Omaha Beach Head

Omaha Beach Head 

By: American Forces in Action Series 

Two YEARS of planning and preparation led up to the Allied landings inNormandyon 6 June 1944. British and American staffs had to work out every foreseeable detail for an undertaking that would involve the major military resources of the two Allied powers; immense stocks of shipping, aircraft, and supplies were assembled in theBritish Islesin an effort that taxed the war industries of both countries; before D Day the Allied air forces had carried out several months of bombing operations which were an integral part of the invasion itself. The first decisions were strategic in the broadest sense, since the opening of a front in Western Europe had to be considered in reference to over-all Allied plans for offensive operations against Germany, as well as the developments of the war in Russiaand of the war against Japan.
