8vo; original red boards; pictorial dustwrapper; endpaper map; pp. 288, incl. index; maps; black-and-white photographic plates. Boards rather rubbed; dustwrapper rubbed and edge-worn; a little scattered foxing. Good. "Overdue for a home posting, a British imperial battalion - the 1/24th - is taken to Natal to spearhead an invasion of Zululand. Less than two weeks later - on 22 January 1879 - more than 400 of its officers and men lie dead on the battlefield at Isandlwana. The gripping account of this bloody battle constitutes the climax of a story which begins four years earlier, with the arrival of the 1/24th at the Cape of Good Hope on New Year's Day 1875. Their tour of duty is described in detail, and includes accounts of the 'Black Flag' rebellion in Kimberley, a Griqua uprising, and Colonel Rowland's campaign against Sekhukhune. Soon, however, the emphasis shifts to the Cape Colony's troubled eastern frontier, and a full account is given of the historically much neglected Ninth Frontier War, including the first-ever detailed account of the Battle of Centane.".

Rustica (tapa blanda). Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. Duró el ímpetu grande de la batalla cerca de cuatro horas y fue tan sangrienta y horrenda que parecía que la mar y el fuego fuese todo uno, viendo dentro de la misma agua arderse muchas galeras turquescas y dentro de la mar, que toda estaba roja de sangre, no había otra cosa que aljabas, turbantes, carcajes, flechas, arcos, rodelas, remos, cajas, valijas y otros muchos despojos de guerra, y sobre todo muchos cuerpos humanos, así cristianos como turcos. . Así describía un anónimo soldado español las aguas del golfo de Lepanto en el mediodía del 7 de octubre de 1571, cuando la armada otomana chocó con la flota reunida por la Liga Santa -la Monarquía Hispánica, el Papado y Venecia-, en una de las mayores batallas navales de toda la Historia: la más alta ocasión que vieron los siglos , tal y como la apellidó otro soldado. En la balanza, el dominio sobre el Mediterráneo, fieramente ambicionado por una Sublime Puerta que deseaba resarcirse del revés de Malta, que acababa de arrebatar Chipre a Venecia y que no cejaba en su acoso sobre las costas italianas y españolas con el corso berberisco. Un dominio contestado sin tregua por la Monarquía Hispánica, en un enfrentamiento que, amén de geoestratégico, era confesional, entre islam y cristiandad, y entre los respectivos paladines de la fe verdadera, el islam suní de Selim II y el catolicismo de Felipe II. . Este libro aborda la jornada de Lepanto conjugando el trabajo de expertos de los distintos países que participaron en la liza españoles, italianos y turcos, a fin de ofrecer una perspectiva completa pero plural, que analiza la situación internacional y los prolegómenos que condujeron al choque, pero que también se detiene con detalle en los aspectos tácticos del combate de galeras en el Mediterráneo y en el desarrollo y pormenores de una batalla de cuyo desenlace, hace ahora cuatrocientos cincuenta años, pendió el destino de Europa.

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Neu. Neu neuware, importqualität, auf lager - The increased computational power and software tools available to engineers have increased the use and dependence on modeling and computer simulation throughout the design process. These tools have given engineers the capability of designing highly complex systems and computer architectures that were previously unthinkable. Every complex design project, from integrated circuits, to aerospace vehicles, to industrial manufacturing processes requires these new methods. This book fulfills the essential need of system and control engineers at all levels in understanding modeling and simulation. This book, written as a true text/reference has become a standard sr./graduate level course in all EE departments worldwide and all professionals in this area are required to update their skills. The book provides a rigorous mathematical foundation for modeling and computer simulation. It provides a comprehensive framework for modeling and simulation integrating the various simulation approaches. It covers model formulation, simulation model execution, and the model building process with its key activities model abstraction and model simplification, as well as the organization of model libraries. Emphasis of the book is in particular in integrating discrete event and continuous modeling approaches as well as a new approach for discrete event simulation of continuous processes. The book also discusses simulation execution on parallel and distributed machines and concepts for simulation model realization based on the High Level Architecture (HLA) standard of the Department of Defense. Presents a working foundation necessary for compliance with High Level Architecture (HLA) standards Provides a comprehensive framework for continuous and discrete event modeling and simulation Explores the mathematical foundation of simulation modeling Discusses system morphisms for model abstraction and simplification Presents a new approach to discrete event simulation of continuous processes Includes parallel and distributed simulation of discrete event models Presents a concept to achieve simulator interoperability in the form of the DEVS-Bus.
