"One day, sometime around 1700 BC, a bronzesmith made the first sword. This marked a technological turning point, giving rise to an arms race that has never since ceased. Soon, over a vast area between the Baltic Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, thousands of weapons were manufactured. They were used in combat, then laid to rest, whole or broken, often during complex rituals that are still hard for us to understand.Through the sword, the Bronze Age brought war into being. The warrior became an important figure. Societies were transformed, and came to revolve politically and economically around warfare. Western Europe developed new social structures, a new kind of civilisation involving neither towns, nor writing.By tackling the subject ‘a call to arms’, Anne Lehoërff investigates war’s long-term development. She focusses on oral societies which have for a long while remained poorly understood, passed over by a historical tradition that saw the world of Classical Antiquity in a different light to that of ‘primitive’ peoples. But our European ancestors have their own history, and this book tells it.Anne Lehoërff is Professor of Archaeology at CY Cergy Paris University, and she presides the ‘Conseil National de la Recherche Archéologique’. The French edition of A Call to Arms was awarded the Verdun World Peace Center History Prize in 2018."--Provided by publisher.

This monograph presents issues related to the armed conflict in Ukraine, which began in 2014 and is still ongoing. It shows the socio-historical background of warfare; the factors determining the distribution of adaptive resources (assigning them meaning, as well as experienced gains and losses of a subjective, state, material and energy nature). It also portrays the relationships between the distribution of adaptive resources and: 1) active, emotional and avoidant strategies for coping with war stress; 2) multidimensional consequences of long-term participation in war circumstances - including use of psychoactive substances, somatic disorders, mental difficulties, symptoms of depression, PTSD syndrome, post-traumatic growth.

Gustav Bachmann war ein Zeitzeuge der Entwicklung der Kaiserlichen Marine von 1876 bis 1918 und 1915 als Chef des Admiralstabes eine wichtige Person bei den Diskussionen um den uneingeschränkten U-Bootkrieg. Die für die Familie ab den 1920er Jahren geschriebenen und bisher nicht zugänglichen Lebenserinnerungen sind ein faszinierendes Zeugnis nicht nur über die Entwicklung der Kaiserlichen Marine ab 1876, ihre Organisation, Einsätze im Ausland und den Kolonien, die Ausbildung der Offiziere, einzelne Offiziere und den Einfluss Alfred v. Tirpitz’ als Staatssekretär des Reichsmarineamtes. Auch die Zeit des 1. Weltkriegs, als Bachmann Chef der Marinestation der Ostsee und für einige Monate Chef des Admiralstabes war, sowie das Ende der Marine im Oktober/November 1918 werden von Bachmann als Zeitzeuge geschildert. Das Tagebuch 1915 beschreibt im Detail die heftigen Auseinandersetzungen zwischen den führenden Marineoffizieren und Reichskanzler Theobald v. Bethmann-Hollweg sowie Kaiser Wilhelm II.

In this volume, the authors of several translated articles, which were published between 2002 and 2020, provide insight into the evolution of military-scientific thinking in both Russia and Ukraine on the concept of information confrontation. The authors detail the impact of the rapid development of information technologies and information weapons over the past two decades on the military-scientific literature of Russia and Ukraine. The articles in this volume provide insight into the varying definitions and subtypes of information confrontation, its historical evolution and application, the technical tools used in the conduct of information confrontation, and the relationship between the connected yet distinct concepts of information confrontation and information warfare.

Sensing of Deadly Toxic Chemical Warfare Agents, Nerve Agent Simulants, and their Toxicological Aspects provides a general overview of the development and performance of different novel molecular frameworks as potent vehicles for sensing Chemical Weapons (CWs). The chapters are contributed by leading researchers in the areas of materials science, medical science, chemical science, and nanotechnology from industries, academics, government and private research institutions across the globe. It covers cover topics such as inorganic nanocomposites, hyperbranched polymers, and graphene heterojunctions for effective sensing of CW agents.
