An Analysis of Paul Kennedy's The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers Ecomonic Change and Military Conflict from 1500-2000

An Analysis of Paul Kennedy's The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers Ecomonic Change and Military Conflict from 1500-2000

Paul Kennedy owes a great deal to the editor who persuaded him to add a final chapter to this study of the factors that contributed to the rise and fall of European powers since the age of Spain’s Philip II. This tailpiece indulged in what was for an historian a most unusual activity: it looked into the future. Pondering whether the United States would ultimately suffer the same decline as every imperium that preceded it it was this chapter that made The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers a dinner party talking point in Washington government circles. In so doing it elevated Kennedy to the ranks of public intellectuals whose opinions were canvassed on matters of state policy. From a strictly academic point of view the virtues of Kennedy's work lie elsewhere and specifically in his flair for asking the sort of productive questions that characterize a great problem-solver. Kennedy's work is an example of an increasingly rare genre – a work of comparative history that transcends the narrow confines of state– and era–specific studies to identify the common factors that underpin the successes and failures of highly disparate states. Kennedy's prime contribution is the now-famous concept of ‘imperial overstretch ’ the idea that empires fall largely because the military commitments they acquire during the period of their rise ultimately become too much to sustain once they lose the economic competitive edge that had projected them to dominance in the first place. Earlier historians may have glimpsed this central truth and even applied it in studies of specific polities but it took a problem-solver of Kennedy's ability to extend the analysis convincingly across half a millennium. | An Analysis of Paul Kennedy's The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers Ecomonic Change and Military Conflict from 1500-2000

An Analysis of William Cronon's Nature's Metropolis Chicago and the Great West

An Analysis of William Cronon's Nature's Metropolis Chicago and the Great West

What caused the rise of Chicago and how did the city's expansion fuel the westward movement of the American frontier – and influence the type of society that evolved as a result? Nature's Metropolis emerged as a result of William Cronon asking and answering those questions and the work can usefully be seen as an extended example of the critical thinking skill of problem-solving in action. Cronon navigates a path between the followers of Frederick Jackson Turner author of the thesis that American character was shaped by the experience of the frontier and revisionists who sought to suggest that the rugged individualism Turner depicted as a creation of life in the West was little but a fiction. For Cronon the most productive question to ask was not whether or not men forged in the liberty-loving furnace of the Wild West had the sort of impact on America that Turner posited but the quite different one of how capitalism and political economy had combined to drive the westward expansion of the US. For Cronon individualism was scarcely even possible in a capitalist machine in which humans were little more than cogs and the needs and demands of capital not capitalists prevailed. Nature's Metropolis then is a work in which the rise of Chicago is explained by generating alternative possibilities and one that uses a rigorous study of the evidence to decide between competing solutions to the problem. It is also a fine work of interpretation for a large part of Cronon's argument revolves around his attempt to define exactly what is rural and what is urban and how the two interact to create a novel economic force. | An Analysis of William Cronon's Nature's Metropolis Chicago and the Great West

An Analysis of Jane Jacobs's The Death and Life of Great American Cities

An Analysis of Jane Jacobs's The Death and Life of Great American Cities

Despite having no formal training in urban planning Jane Jacobs deftly explores the strengths and weaknesses of policy arguments put forward by American urban planners in the era after World War II. They believed that the efficient movement of cars was of more value in the development of US cities than the everyday lives of the people living there. By carefully examining their relevance in her 1961 book The Death and Life of Great American Cities Jacobs dismantles these arguments by highlighting their shortsightedness. She evaluates the information to hand and comes to a very different conclusion that urban planners ruin great cities because they don’t understand that it is a city’s social interaction that makes it great. Proposals and policies that are drawn from planning theory do not consider the social dynamics of city life. They are in thrall to futuristic fantasies of a modern way of living that bears no relation to reality or to the desires of real people living in real spaces. Professionals lobby for separation and standardization splitting commercial residential industrial and cultural spaces. But a truly visionary approach to urban planning should incorporate spaces with mixed uses together with short walkable blocks large concentrations of people and a mix of new and old buildings. This creates true urban vitality. | An Analysis of Jane Jacobs's The Death and Life of Great American Cities

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles Steam CD Key

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles Steam CD Key

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a collection developed by Capcom containing refreshed versions of legal adventures The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures from 2015 and The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve from 2018). Both games were originally released on the Nintendo 3DS console and never left Japan. Thus, this set is the debut of these productions in the English version. Story-wise, the project is a prequel. The protagonist is Ryunosuke Naruhodo, a young Japanese living in the nineteenth century, who was the ancestor of Phoenix Wright. In total, the collection offers ten big cases to solve, taking place both in the Land of the Rising Sun and in Great Britain. The action begins when Ryunosuke is accused of murdering a professor at the university where he is studying English. The protagonist's defender is his friend Asogi Kazuma, who is just graduating from law studies. If the player manages to discover the real perpetrator and lead to the acquittal of the protagonist, Kazuma and Naruhodo will go to Great Britain, where the first of them wants to learn the secrets of Western justice. Unfortunately, dramatic events will take place during the voyage that will ultimately put Ryunosuke on the path of a legal career. The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles was built on the mechanisms of the previous installments of the brand. Each case is divided into two phases. The first is the investigation during which we search locations, collect evidence and clues, and question witnesses. When we finish the preparations, it is time for the trial, during which we have to present our own theory and support it with arguments and evidence. Detecting inaccuracies in the testimonies of witnesses called by the prosecutor also plays a key role. The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles offers several novelties that significantly affect the gameplay. This time, apart from the judge, a jury of six is ​​also taking part in the hearings. Its members decide for themselves when to order a vote which determines the guilt or innocence of the accused. If, however, the verdict is not as we would like, we get a chance to talk to every member of the jury. If we manage to convince four of the six, the decision is withdrawn and the process resumed. In the course of investigations, the protagonist is often assisted by a detective named Herlock Sholmes (who is known to whom this character parodies). It is related to the second big novelty in the form of the so-called Joint Reasoning. In such sections, Sholmes begins to present his own theories and ideas, and the player's task is to find inaccuracies and errors in them, so that the detective is able to finally come to the right conclusions and thus provide us with additional information useful during the trial.

Age of Empires II HD: Rise of the Rajas Europe Steam Altergift

Rise of the Rajas is the third major DLC to Age of Empires II: HD Edition, released in spring 2013 for PC. Despite relatively small changes compared to the original from 1999, the production turned out to be quite a commercial success and brought back to life one of the highest rated real-time strategies in history. SkyBox Labs and Forgotten Empires, the same duo that created the two previous DLCs for the game, are responsible for the development of this add-on. Gameplay The most important novelty of Age of Empires II HD: Rise of the Rajas are four brand new Asian civilizations: Burmese, Khmer, Malays and Vietnamese, each of which also received its own unique unit. In addition, the game features two previously unavailable universal units (i.e. available for each nation), i.e. battle elephants and imperial infantrymen. Along with the new factions, we also received four additional campaigns (one for each side), taking place in the respective nations in Southeast Asia. The Rise of the Rajas expansion pack also brings some minor novelties, including a completely new type of terrain, i.e. mangrove forests, which can be used by both land and water units. The whole is complemented by five new random, special and historical maps, improved artificial intelligence of units, a special observer mode and additional objects for the map editor built into the game.
