The Battlefield of Imperishable Memory: Passchendaele and the Anzac Legend (Australian History) by Matthew Haultain-Gall
English | July 1, 2021 | ISBN: 1922464066 | EPUB | 346 pages | 2.8 MB
The Ypres salient 'was the favourite battle ground of the devil and his minions' wrote one returned serviceman after the First World War. Few who fought in the infamous third battle of Ypres - now known as Passchendaele - in 1917 would have disagreed. All five of the Australian Imperial Force's (AIF) infantry divisions were engaged in this bloody campaign. Despite early successes, their attacks floundered in front of the devastated Belgian Passchendaele's when autumn rains drenched the battlefield, turning it into an immense quagmire. By the time the AIF withdrew, it had suffered more casualties over 38,000 casualties, including 10,000 dead, far outweighing Australian losses in any other Great War campaign.

Russia and Soul: An Exploration By Dale Pesmen
2000 | 374 Pages | ISBN: 0801437393 | PDF | 23 MB
This ethnography of everyday life in contemporary Russia is also an examination of discourses & practices of "soul" or dusha. Russian soul has historically appeared as a myth, a consoling fiction & a trope of national & individual self-definition that drew romantic foreigners to Russia. Pesmen shows that in the 1990s this "soul" was scorned, worshipped & used to create, manipulate & exploit cultural capital. She focuses on "soul" in part as what people chose to do & how they did it, especially practices considered "definitive" of Russians, such as hospitality, alcoholic beverage use, steam baths, the language, music & suffering. Attempting to avoid narrow definitions of soul as a thing, she develops a new way of structuring ethnographic interviews. During a stay in a formerly closed military industrial city & surrounding villages, she spent time on public transportation & in kitchens, steam baths, vegetable gardens, shops & workplaces. She uses stories from her fieldwork along with examples from the media & literature to introduce a phenomenology of russkaia dusha & of related American & other non-Russian metaphysical notions, exploring diverse elements in their makeup, examining & questioning the world created when people believe in such "deep", "vast", "enigmatic", "internal" centers. Among theoretical issues addressed are those of power, community, self, exchange, coherence & morality. Her attention to dusha gives her a multifaceted perspective on Russian culture & society & informs her portrayal of life in a Russian city at a historically critical moment.
Robust Estimates of Location: Survey and Advances By David Andrews, Peter Bickel, Frank Hampel, W. Rogers, J. Tukey, P Huber
2015 | 384 Pages | ISBN: 0691081166 | PDF | 10 MB
Because estimation involves inferring information about an unknown quantity on the basis of available data, the selection of an estimator is influenced by its ability to perform well under the conditions that are assumed to underlie the data. Since these conditions are never known exactly, the estimators chosen must be robust; i.e., they must be able to perform well under a variety of underlying conditions. The theory of robust estimation is based on specified properties of specified estimators under specified conditions. This book was written as the result of a study undertaken to establish the interaction of these three components over as large a range as possible.Originally published in 1972.
