Banning the bang or the bomb? : negotiating the nuclear test ban regime
\"The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), negotiated between 1994 and 1996, is the latest development in the nuclear arms control regime. It continues to serve a vital role in preserving the privileged status of the nuclear weapons states and barring the way to proliferation. Banning the Bang or the Bomb? brings together a team of leading international experts who together analyse its negotiation as a model of regime creation, examining collective dynamics, the behaviour of individual countries, and the nature of specific issues. The book offers practical guidance and training for members of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization future inspectorate to help negotiate their way during an on-site inspection (OSI) in an inspected state. This is a valuable resource for researchers and professionals alike that turns an analysis of what has happened into a manual for what is about to happen\"-- Provided by publisher.

Shigeru Ban : the Swatch/Omega campus
Designed and constructed with the precision of a Swiss watch, this monumental hybrid timber campus charts an architectural roadmap toward the future. Completed in 2019, the Swatch and Omega Campus in Biel, Switzerland, is a magnificent example of technology, design, and environmental sustainability working in concert to create a space that promotes the health of users and the planet. This book illustrates every aspect of the project, including drawings, plans, and numerous interior and exterior photographs. Pritzker Prize-winning architect Shigeru Ban has experienced firsthand the trauma of natural disasters, which he has addressed in numerous emergency-relief projects. With the Swatch and Omega campus, Ban demonstrates how sustainable architecture can benefit industry as well, and why he promotes timber as the planet's only truly renewable resource. Philip Jodidio introduces readers to the buildings' ingenious and cutting-edge features: a serpentine, cocoon-like facade that echoes the playful elements of the Swatch brand; a gridshell roof structure consisting of thousands of precisely interlocking timber pieces; numerous \"clean rooms\" designed for optimal airflow and minimal airborne contaminants; modular work spaces and easy outdoor access to promote employees' physical and mental well-being. A feat of forward-thinking architecture, this corporate headquarters represents a benchmark for future building projects around the world.

Harc Róma örökösei közt: a frank–langobárd háborúk (571–590)
A Nyugatrómai birodalom megszűntével átalakult Európa térképe. A korábbi nagy birodalmak helyébe kisebb királyságok léptek. Ezen új államokat a korábban hun alattvaló vagy római szolgálatban levő germán népek alapították. Az államszervezés mellett ezek az új hatalmak időről időre háborúkat vívtak egymás ellen, hogy területüket és politikai befolyásukat kiterjesszék. A korszak két nagyhatalma, a Frank és a Langobárd Királyság, többször keveredett egymással fegyveres konfliktusba, amelyet mindkét fél más katonai elképzelések mentén vívott meg.
