Book Description
Love is a distraction…until him… NCIS Special Agent Vincent Fitzgerald is assigned to find missing naval scientist Skylar Baang, who’s working on a top-secret sonar schematic. When it’s discovered that she’s been kidnapped, Vin is convinced that mercenaries took the American/Filipino beauty for her brain and the secrets inside, and he intends to get her back in one piece. Skylar is more angry than scared when she’s kidnapped. Always resourceful, she escapes right into the arms of Vin, but her ordeal is not over. The men who took her have no intention of giving up, and she must stay in Vin’s protective custody. To keep her safe, Vin must get past Skyler’s formidable walls, get her to trust him, and figure out why they want her. But, it’s not what he thinks as the kidnappers absolutely want what is locked up in Skylar’s head, but it has nothing to do with her Navy secrets.

Space, Politics, and Cultural Representation in Modern China
Author: Enhua Zhang
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317326113
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
Regarding revolution as a spatial practice, this book explores modes of spatial construction in modern China through a panoramic overview of major Chinese revolutionary events and nuanced analysis of cultural representations. Examining the relationship between revolution, space, and culture in modern China the author takes five spatially significant revolutionary events as case studies - the territorial dispute between Russia and the Qing dynasty in 1892, the Land Reform in the 1920s, the Long March (1934-36), the mainland-Taiwan split in 1949, and the Cultural Revolution (1966-76) - and analyses how revolution constructs, conceives, and transforms space. Using materials associated with these events, including primarily literature, as well as maps, political treatises, historiography, plays, film, and art, the book argues that in addition to redirecting the flow of Chinese history, revolutionary movements operate in and on space in three main ways: maintaining territorial sovereignty, redefining social relations, and governing an imaginary realm. Arguing for reconsideration of revolution as a reorganization of space as much as time, this book will appeal to students and scholars of Chinese culture, society, history and literature.

Napoleon's Guards of Honour
Author: Ronald Pawly
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1780965591
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
One of the least understood of Napoleon's corps were the four regiments of Gardes d'honneur, raised in 1813 during the frantic rebuilding of the French cavalry after the huge losses in Russia. Recruited from the leading social classes, uniformed and equipped at their own expense, and accompanied by servants to take care of such unpleasant chores as stable duty, these men were promised commissions as officers after a year's service in the ranks. Though spectacularly unready for combat upon their arrival with the army, the Guards of Honour would gain skill and confidence while serving alongside the élite cavalry of the Imperial Guard in the campaigns of Saxony and France, 1813-14, and distinguished themselves in battle at Hanau and Rheims. The story of their organisation, uniforms and service is researched from rare archives and memoirs, and illustrated with portraits, surviving uniform items, and meticulous colour plates.
