Civil professionals such as doctors, engineers and journalists have been given far less representation, usually appearing as background characters in most films and fiction.     In Westerns about the 1910 Mexican Revolution, however, civil professionals also feature prominently in the narrative, often as members of the intelligentsia--an important force in Mexican politics. This book compares the roles of civil professionals in most American Westerns to those in films on the 1910 Mexican Revolution. Included are studies on the Santiago Toole novels by Richard Wheeler, Strange Lady in Town with Greer Garson and La sombra del Caudillo by Martin Luis Guzman.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49758777147665,"sku":"NGR9780786497294","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52430226096401,"sku":"NLS9780786497294","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0786497297.jpg?v=1750702904"},{"product_id":"dangerous-decline-in-the-united-states-military-s-infectious-disease-vaccine-pro-book-kenneth-e-hall-9781288330775","title":"The Dangerous Decline in the United States Military's Infectious Disease Vaccine Program","description":"With the burgeoning concern for weaponized bio-agents, the Department of Defense (DOD) has partitioned its biodefense and infectious disease vaccine acquisition programs, with biodefense vaccines holding a higher acquisition priority and receiving more robust funding than infectious disease vaccines. As a result, the military's infectious disease vaccine program has lost considerable emphasis, funding and mission capability, with a significant erosion of the DOD's ability to ensure the acquisition and availability of the right vaccines at the right time to optimally protect US forces from established and emerging natural infections now and in the future. To mitigate these risks, this paper argues that the DOD must: collectively assess and prioritize all biological threats, whether natural, accidental or deliberate in nature; consolidate redundant vaccine acquisition activities; elevate the priority of infectious disease vaccines; and provide ample resources to sustain a robust vaccine acquisition capability to protect US military forces against validated and prioritized biological threats.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51224129831185,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51224132387089,"sku":"NIN9781288330775","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1288330774.jpg?v=1766486726"},{"product_id":"stonewall-jackson-and-religious-faith-in-military-command-book-kenneth-e-hall-9780786420858","title":"Stonewall Jackson and Religious Faith in Military Command","description":"The relationship between war and religion is nothing new. For millennia, humankind has waged war over religion and derived religion from war. It is not surprising, then, that military leadership and religious conviction frequently coincide. This study documents the long tradition of the religious warrior in Western history and literature, with a special focus on Civil War general Thomas J. \"Stonewall\" Jackson. It also provides a general survey of the religious antecedents of Jackson and other more modern American military heroes.     The book begins with an introduction to the Confederate general, largely from the perspective of those who lived with and served under him, whose testimonies attest to his courage, initiative, innate tactical talent, deep religious faith, and eccentric personal habits. The author analyzes the extent to which Jackson's national zeal has elevated him to the status of a religious martyr, remembered today within an epic frame of sainthood and heroism. Concise comparisons are drawn between Jackson and his Old World predecessors, including Ulrich Zwingli, John Knox and Oliver Cromwell. Similar associations are made between Jackson and such Civil War contemporaries as William Dorsey Pender and Oliver Otis Howard. A chapter addressing the representation of \"Stonewall\" in modern Civil War literature and film, particularly in the novel and subsequent motion picture Gods and Generals, provides an insightful juxtaposition of Jackson's status among the \"gods\" of the Civil War and his own reverence for the God of his Presbyterian faith.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52657813586193,"sku":"NLS9780786420858","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780786420858.jpg?v=1762230665"},{"product_id":"john-woo-book-kenneth-e-hall-9780786440405","title":"John Woo","description":"This second edition on the career of Hong Kong film maker John Woo offers a wealth of additional information, including treatment of his Hollywood productions Mission: Impossible II, Windtalkers and Paycheck.
