Reluctant Warriors challenges traditional political interpretations of the Spanish Civil War, and sets it in a new and immediately human light. It is a comparative study of Nationalist Army and Republican Popular Army conscripts, and analyses the conflict from the perspective of those who were involved against their will. While militants on both sides joined the conflict voluntarily, millions of Spanish men coped with the military uprising as an unwanted intrusion into their lives. James Matthews firstly examines the climate in which both sides implemented mass conscription within their zones. He analyses the process of conscription from call-up to placement in a unit, and looks at the methods employed to motivate and maintain the morale of drafted men, as well as the approaches to discipline in the two armies. Finally, he examines situations in which men avoided front line service. These accounted for constant manpower losses on both sides, and were particularly marked for the Republic. Reluctant Warriors reveals that the Nationalist Army managed its conscripted men better than the Republican Popular Army; a vital factor in determining the ultimate outcome of the war.

Despite the widely held belief that the social services were allocated solely on the basis of client need, and could therefore be directly contrasted with the operation of the private market, in the 1970s there remained a wide range of services for which the consumer had to pay directly at the time of consumption. Consumer charges were widely used, for example, for residential accommodation, for the provision of day care and for domiciliary services.
Originally published in 1980, Charging for Social Care provided a long overdue examination of the use of these charges in the personal social services. It analyses their historical origins, current operation and their social and financial significance. In addition, it provides a clear theoretical framework within which pricing policies should be determined and outlines the policy for pricing personal social services in the future. In undertaking this analysis Ken Judge and James Matthews had gone beyond the rhetoric which in the past had characterised discussions about charges. Their detailed and perceptive study was based on a report for the Department of Health and Social Security. It would still be of interest to students and teachers of social policy and social administration, to policy makers in both central and local government, to students of the economics of social policy and of the public sector, to social workers, and to all those with an interest in the personal social services and in public spending decisions.

Spain''s principal and most devastating war during the 20th century was, unusually for most of Europe, an internal conflict. During the Spanish Civil War of 1936 to 1939 two competing armies – the insurgent and counterrevolutionary Nationalist Army and the Republican Popular Army – engaged in a conflict to impose their version of Spanish identity and the right to shape the country''s future. In its aftermath, Francoist Spain remained on a war footing for the duration of the Second World War. In spite of the unabated flood of books on the Spanish Civil War and its consequences, historians of Spain in the 20th century have focused relatively little on the interaction of society and culture, and their roles in wartime mobilization. Spain at War addresses this omission through an examination of individual experiences of conflict and the mobilization of society. This edited volume acknowledges the agency of low-ranking individuals and the impact of their choices upon the historical processes that shaped the conflict and its aftermath. In doing so, this new military history provides a more complex and nuanced understanding of Spain''s most intense period of wartime cultural mobilization between the years 1936 to 1944 and challenges traditional political accounts of the period.

We all know that law is a people business. Clients buy from lawyers whom they like, respect, and trust, and they judge those lawyers and their firms on the quality of service that the firm provides, the results achieved, and whether they receive value for money. This applies to corporate, institutional, and private clients alike. For their business plans to be connected to reality, partners and law firm leaders must learn how they are perceived by their clients and adapt accordingly. They do this by listening to their clients. Historically this was through informal, fireside chats. In recent years, many firms have devised formal client listening programs and in recent years there has been an explosion of review sites and social media channels enabling clients to leave their unfiltered and public feedback, whether solicited or not. Forward-looking firms are adopting multi-channel approaches to taking feedback to maximize the intelligence they gather and to adapt to clients' own preferences. As ever, the most nimble and adaptable will reap the rewards.The Client Experience: How to Optimize Client Service and Deliver Value looks at the client experience from end-to-end, from client listening programs to journey mapping, from customer audits to how legal tech can help improve the way a client interacts with a law firm throughout its relationship. A client-centric business model is essential for future law firm success and the authors of this far-reaching title utilize their own experience and real-life case studies to drill down into the importance of maintaining the one thing no business can do without: its client.

This thesis describes the application of a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code to accretion disc winds in two types of systems spanning 9 orders of magnitude in mass and size. In both cases, the results provide important new insights. On small scales, the presence of disc winds in accreting white dwarf binary systems has long been inferred from the presence of ultraviolet absorption lines. Here, the thesis shows that the same winds can also produce optical emission lines and a recombination continuum. On large scales, the thesis constructs a simple model of disc winds in quasars that is capable of explaining both the observed absorption and emission signatures – a crucial advance that supports a disc-wind based unification scenario for quasars. Lastly, the thesis also includes a theoretical investigation into the equivalent width distribution of the emission lines in quasars, which reveals a major challenge to all unification scenarios.

"España en guerra" nos brinda un nuevo y original enfoque de la Guerra Civil Española y de sus consecuencias en la posguerra, cuando el resto de Europa se desangraba a su vez. Pese al continuo aluvión de libros sobre el conflicto más importante y devastador que sufrió España en el siglo XX, los historiadores que lo han estudiado no le han dedicado la atención necesaria a la interacción entre el aspecto militar e ideológico del conflicto con la sociedad y la cultura, así como al papel de éstas en la movilización social durante la guerra. Cómo afectó a la sociedad la movilización militar. Este nuevo estudio corrige esa omisión analizando experiencias individuales de los ciudadanos de a pie, que son los que hacen y sufren las guerras. No se centra tanto en los personajes conocidos que dirigieron en sus respectivos bandos el esfuerzo bélico, sino en el papel y las repercusiones que tuvieron las decisiones de simples soldados, mandos intermedios, mujeres, niños..., tanto en el frente como en retaguardia. Coordinados por James Matthews, un elenco de los más prestigiosos historiadores de la Guerra Civil, tanto españoles como hispanistas extranjeros, abordan en "España en Guerra" temas como la organización de las distintas milicias que integraban cada bando y las motivaciones de sus miembros, así como las no siempre fáciles relaciones entre las mismas; los sistemas de reclutamiento; el impacto de las tropas musulmanas y su relación con la población peninsular; el espionaje y sus formas de operar; las deserciones; la asistencia social, llevada principalmente por mujeres; la situación económica y las políticas monetarias, cómo afectó la guerra a los niños, lo que se comía a diario... Temas que establecen un diálogo entre lo social y lo militar, que proporcionan una comprensión más compleja y matizada, una nueva visión e interpretación, del intenso periodo que vivió España entre los años 1936 y 1944.

«Nosotros no podemos salir de la trinchera ni para orinar siquiera que nos cosen a tiros y a morterazos y a cañonazos, y para terminar pronto, tienen de todo lo que quieren, para un tiro que nosotros tiramos, nos tiran ellos un ciento [...]». Cecilio Broch Pintor Una perspectiva original y humana de la Guerra Civil a través de fragmentos de cartas enviadas por soldados del Ejército Popular de la República a sus seres queridos en la retaguardia. El servicio de censura militar conservó sus palabras de forma inconsciente y un cuidadoso análisis de esta excepcional y compleja fuente descubre la experiencia bélica de los combatientes: sus miedos, deseos y reacciones ante la obligación de apostarse en las trincheras durante el violento conflicto fratricida. La correspondencia evidencia, también, los grandes problemas que sufrió la República con su nuevo Ejército y que ayudan a explicar la victoria del bando «nacional»: dificultades de suministro, divisiones políticas, actos de disciplina y un cansancio generalizado.

A hunted human. A stolen starship. A galaxy-spanning Empire that cannot afford to let either survive.Cody Perrin has spent ten years as a Runner: a captive released into the stars so Empire Security can hunt him for sport. He should have died within days. Instead, he became the most impossible fugitive in the galaxy.The only Human the Empire has ever seen.With Max, a fiercely loyal AI companion, Cody survives by stealing ships, outthinking patrols, and running before anyone can drag him back to Imperia. But when he captures a strange vessel from the future, everything changes. The ship is faster, smarter, and more dangerous than anything he has ever flown—and it may be the first real chance he has ever had to stop running.Then Cody rescues Corassa, an Imperial cadet desperate to choose his own life, and Thora, a survivor fighting to save the last of her people. What begins as another escape becomes something Cody never expected: a crew, a cause, and the dangerous possibility of found family.But the Empire is watching.If it learns where Cody came from, Earth will no longer be hidden. Humanity will become the Empire's next target.For readers who love intergalactic space opera, gay sci-fi adventure, sci-fi found family, AI companions, stolen ships, alien empires, and a young male lead forced to become more than a survivor, The Runner launches a fast-paced series about freedom, loyalty, and the cost of becoming impossible to ignore.
