Download or read book Operation Nemesis written by Eric Bogosian and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterful account of the assassins who hunted down the perpetrators of the Armenian Genocide. In 1921, a tightly knit band of killers set out to avenge the deaths of almost one million victims of the Armenian Genocide. They were a humble bunch: an accountant, a life insurance salesman, a newspaper editor, an engineering student, and a diplomat. Together they formed one of the most effective assassination squads in history. They named their operation Nemesis, after the Greek goddess of retribution. The assassins were survivors, men defined by the massive tragedy that had devastated their people. With operatives on three continents, the Nemesis team killed six major Turkish leaders in Berlin, Constantinople, Tiflis, and Rome, only to disband and suddenly disappear. The story of this secret operation has never been fully told, until now. Eric Bogosian goes beyond simply telling the story of this cadre of Armenian assassins by setting the killings in the context of Ottoman and Armenian history, as well as showing in vivid color the era's history, rife with political fighting and massacres. Casting fresh light on one of the great crimes of the twentieth century and one of history's most remarkable acts of vengeance, Bogosian draws upon years of research and newly uncovered evidence. Operation Nemesis is the result -- both a riveting read and a profound examination of evil, revenge, and the costs of violence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In an effort to afford a glimpse into Kayseri’s rich sociocultural past, this book traces the physical and built environment that has been left from the Armenian and Greek communities of the region and presents the relationship of the urban culture of Ottoman Kayseri to its rural hinterland by way of statistical information and visual material. The book comprises mainly the results of the fieldwork in Kayseri in the summer and fall of 2015 that was jointly undertaken by the Hrant Dink Foundation and the Association for the Protection of Cultural Heritage. Accompanied by contextualizing introductory articles that shed light on the social and economic history of the Armenian and Greek communities in Kayseri, this book attests to t[h]e fact that Kayseri that we know today in [sic] very much the product of the cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity it once enjoyed. At the end of the 19th century, non-Muslims constituted one-third of the population of the Kayseri Province. A significant number of their buildings have unexpectedly withstood the perils to this day, and yet they are deterioriating at an alarming pace. This book, which should be considered a 2015 photograph of this cultural heritage, was prepared with the hope that it will contribute to the processes of reconciling with the past. The latter is the prerequisite for the cultural heritage of the peoples who have been forcefully expelled from their homelands to not be neglected but to instead be protected like other cultural heritage."--

Download or read book Drought Policies Case Studies on Mega droughts for the High Level Experts and Leaders Panel on Water and Disasters HELP written by Jerome Delli Priscolli and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on mega-droughts of the past 20 years. Twelve cases from both developed and developing countries are elaborated in the book. Its intention is to draw lessons from the cases of extremely severe water shortages so that countries and stakeholders can be better prepared for extreme drought events in the future. Several recurrent themes emerge from the diverse case studies and descriptions of programs. For example, most chapters discuss the necessity to move from reactive (compensatory) to preventive policies. This theme has implications for use of insurance in developing countries, e.g. is insurance encouraging investments to help countries avoid disasters or is it acting mostly in a humanitarian way to compensate for losses to help people? Several authors point to the importance of risk assessment and to developing risk based policies for drought. This raises statistical issues of how such assessments of uncertainty and risks are done and how they relate to actual occurrence of events. Most chapters call for more inter-sectoral policies, policies which integrate water resources management approaches and to the necessity of raising public awareness of droughts in times of no drought. The issue of structural versus nonstructural is clear in most cases. While often cast as ‘either/or’ the message that emerges is more one of how do you integrate these approaches. Finally, a few chapters bring to light how prevention is needed for national security as well as water security. In Focus – a book series that showcases the latest accomplishments in water research. Each book focuses on a specialist area with papers from top experts in the field. It aims to be a vehicle for in-depth understanding and inspire further conversations in the sector.
