I Dread the Thought of the Place
The definitive account of the Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest day of the Civil War. Finalist of the American Battlefield Trust Military History Book Prize, Winner of the Richard Barksdale Harwell Award The memory of the Battle of Antietam was so haunting that when, nine months later, Major Rufus Dawes learned another Antietam battle might be on the horizon, he wrote, "I hope not, I dread the thought of the place." In this definitive account, historian D. Scott Hartwig chronicles the single bloodiest day in American history, which resulted in 23,000 casualties.

European Accountancy Yearbook 1992/93
European Accountancy Yearbook is the first annual reference work to focus on the emerging Pan-European accounting scene. Following numerous international mergers and syndicate formations large accountancy firms are competing to provide services to international corporations and businesses with cross-border trade.

Antietam Remembered
The American Civil War Battle of Antietam was fought at Sharpsburg, Maryland on September 17, 1862. It is considered to be the bloodiest day in American history although it lasted only a single day. The estimated casualties were 22,717 men killed, injured, or missing in the battle. “Antietam Remembered” is a compilation of human interest stories about the civilians and soldiers whose lives were changed by the Battle of Antietam. First person accounts record grim details of the horrors of war including the wanton destruction of property, armed robbery, horse-thieving, murder and the grizzly job of treating the sick and wounded in make-shift hospitals organized in homes and barns with few medical supplies available to ease their discomfort.
Sydney Pollack
Jeremiah Johnson, The Way We Were, Absence of Malice, Out of Africa, Tootsie, The Firm, Searching for Bobby Fischer--Sydney Pollack has produced, directed or appeared in some of the biggest and most influential films of the last quarter century. His emergence in Hollywood coincided with those of such other innovative directors as John Frankenheimer, George Roy Hill and Sidney Lumet, and with them he helped develop a contemplative style of filmmaking that was almost European in its approach but retained its commercial viability. Film-by-film, this work examines the directorial career of Sydney Pollack. One finds that his style is marked by deliberate pacing, ambiguous endings and metaphorical love stories. Topically, Pollack's films reflect social, culture and political dilemmas that hold some fascination for him, with multidimensional characters in place that generally break the stereotypical molds of the situations. Pollack's directing efforts on television are also detailed, as are his production and acting credits.

Wind Energy 2000
Wind Energy 2000 - Building the 10% looks at the role wind power will play in meeting the Governments 2010 target on electricity generation from renewable sources. New projects, both on and off shore, are expected to contribute almost half of the target, recognising the maturity of the technology. Wind Energy 2000 - Building the 10% includes a special report from the development team of the landmark Blyth Offshore project on the challenges experienced in commissioning the UK's first offshore wind turbines. Changes in both the UK electricity system and the Government's programme of support for renewable energy suggested that the focus of this year's conference should be the new policies. Sessions were accordingly convened as forums with subsequent discussion groups. Papers presented include contributions from the Department of Trade and Industry, the Crown Estate, and the Countryside Agency, including such topics as: The percentage obligation and the new electricity trading arrangements The further development of the offshore wind energy industry Regional and sustainable development within the planning system.
