Category : Iraq War, 2003-
Languages : en
Pages : 427
Book Description
The story of the U.S. Navy Seabees and the First Marine Expeditionary Force Engineer Group during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Bridges to Baghdad tells the story of the "fighting Seabees? and their role in the Iraq War, focusing upon their individual experiences from the time they "snuck" into Kuwait in the fall of 2002 through their redeployment to Iraq as part of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM II in 2004. Bridges to Baghdad also recounts the Seabees' operations at the command level from the perspective of their commander, Rear Admiral Chuck Kubic, including the story of the creation and employment of a new division-level organization, the First Marine Expeditionary Force Engineer Group (I MEG). This was the first such Naval Expeditionary Engineer formation of its kind since World War II. I MEF Commanding General, Lieutenant General James Conway, later summed up the Seabee?s value to the war effort when he told a key MEG task force commander that "the determination and skill that your Sailors displayed was nothing short of magnificent!"

Cultural Parks and National Heritage Areas
Author: Pablo Alonso GonzálezPublisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443854123
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
The number of cultural parks has been steadily increasing in recent years throughout the world. But what is a cultural park? This book provides a detailed answer to this question and sets out the basis for an academic debate that moves beyond the technical narratives that have prevailed to date. It is important to open up the topic to academic scrutiny given that cultural parks are becoming widespread devices being employed by different institutions and social groups to manage and enhance cultural and natural heritage assets and landscapes. The main problem in dealing with this topic is the predominant lack of theory-grounded, critical reflection in the literature about cultural parks. These remain largely conceived as technical instruments deployed by institutions in order to solve an array of problems they must deal with. As cultural parks are generally regarded as positive and constructive tools whose performance is associated with the preservation of heritage, the overcoming of the nature/culture divide, the reinforcing of identity and memory and the strengthening of social cohesion and economic development, this book critically explores these issues through the analysis of the literature on cultural parks. In addition, it provides a novel theoretical conceptualization of cultural parks that is connected with, and underpins, a tentative methodology developed for their empirical analysis.
