Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. CYCLING TO WAR The History of the AIF/NZ Cyclist Corps 1916-19 by Ronald J. Austin, RFD, ED A scarce and highly specialised Australian and New Zealand First World War unit history, documenting the remarkable story of the AIF and New Zealand Army Cyclist Corps on active service during 1916-1919. Published by Slouch Hat Publications, McCrae, Australia in 2008 - First Edition. The Cyclist Corps is one of the lesser-known formations of the Australian Imperial Force. Originally intended to provide highly mobile troops for reconnaissance, communications and patrol work, the cyclists served in Egypt and on the Western Front in France and Belgium, often operating close to the front lines. Ronald Austin provides a detailed history of these unusual units, including the Australian divisional cyclist companies and the later ANZAC and Australian Corps Cyclist Battalions. A particularly useful reference for anyone researching individual members of the AIF/NZ Cyclist Corps and an excellent addition to a serious collection of Australian WWI unit histories.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Is life without parole the perfect compromise to the death penalty Or is it as ethically fraught as capital punishment This comprehensive, interdisciplinary anthology treats life without parole as 'the new death penalty.' Editors Charles J. Ogletree, Jr. and Austin Sarat bring together original work by prominent scholars in an effort to better understand the growth of life without parole and its social, cultural, political, and legal meanings. What justifies the turn to life imprisonment How should we understand the fact that this penalty is used disproportionately against racial minorities What are the most promising avenues for limiting, reforming, or eliminating life without parole sentences in the United States Contributors explore the structure of life without parole sentences and the impact they have on prisoners, where the penalty fits in modern theories of punishment, and prospects for (as well as challenges to) reform.…
