Take an eyewitness view of the complexities, atrocities, and heroics of war with World War II, from DK's Eyewitness series. In keeping with all the books in this remarkable reference collection, pages are jam-packed with crisp, vivid photographs, illustrations, documents, and maps, as well as fascinating narrative and captions. Under chapter headings such as "A world divided," "Bombing raids," "Women at work," "Road to Stalingrad," "Propaganda and morale," "The Holocaust," "D-Day invasion," and "The atomic bomb," the events of the war are described and illustrated in compelling detail. Readers learn about life under German occupation, remarkable secret inventions (poison pens, matchbox cameras, pipes with a secret compartment), how soldiers managed to overcome the enemy, what the inside of a British midget submarine looked like, and much more. World War II changed the course of history forever-this stunning book illuminates the people, places, and events that played a part in this unforgettable drama.

This book is an informative and richly illustrated portrait of the nineteenth century. Every important event from 1800 to 1900 is dealt with in both words and pictures: political situations, developments in science, technology, the arts including literature and music, religion, and philosophy, exploration and journeys of discovery, sport, changes in society and everyday life. The Industrial Revolution took place in the nineteenth century, which brought about tremendous changes in the lives of most people.
This book also includes brief biographies of the men and women who played such an important part in shaping the nineteenth century.

The main focus of this doctoral thesis is on Time use in Spanish organisations. The aim is to determine where these organisations stand on the monochronic/polychronic dimensions, established by Edward Hall (1959, 1976). The Anglo-Saxons and Northern Europeans were classified by Hall as monochronic; whereas Spain has traditionally been classified as polychronic, along with the other countries which make up the Southern European cluster. As Spain has experienced considerable change over the past thirty years, the objective of the thesis is to clarify whether Spain continues to be polychronic in its time use. The results indicate that Spanish organisations, although maintaining the basic value of "attention to people" at work and engaging in a multi-focused environment, have become considerably more monochronic. Research was also carried out on "Power distance", (the extent to which decision-making is shared) and the work style of Spanish women in organisations.
