The Persian War was one of the most significant events in ancient history. It halted Persia's westward expansion, inspired the Golden Age of Greece, and propelled Athens to the heights of power. From the end of the war almost to the end of antiquity, the Greeks and later the Romans recalled the battles and heroes of this war with unabated zeal. The resulting monuments and narratives have long been used to reconstruct the history of the war itself, but they have only recently begun to be used to explore how the conflict was remembered over time. States of Memory focuses on the initial recollection of the war in the classical period down to the Lamian War (480-322 BCE). Drawing together recent work on memory theory and a wide range of ancient evidence, Yates argues that the Greek memory of the war was deeply divided from the outset. Despite the panhellenic scope of the conflict, the Greeks very rarely recalled the war as Greeks. Instead they presented themselves as members of their respective city-states. What emerged was a tangled web of idiosyncratic stories about the Persian War that competed with each other fiercely throughout the classical period. It was not until Philip of Macedonia and Alexander the Great dealt a devastating blow to the very notion of the independent city-state at the battle of Chaeronea that anything like a unified memory of the Persian War came to dominate the tradition.

This report describes an approach for planning under deep uncertainty, Robust Decision Making (RDM), and demonstrates its use by the El Dorado Irrigation District (EID). Using RDM, the authors and EID tested the robustness of current long-term water management plans and more robust alternatives across more than 50 futures reflecting different assumptions about future climate, urban growth, and the availability of important new supplies.

At long last, Rosalie and James are settling into the togetherness they had planned almost sixty years ago! But in retirement, they aren't sitting still: Their chosen legacy is to reopen the infamous Holy Heart and make it a non-profit for pregnant women ostracized by family or society. But the mounting opposition to Holy Heart's reopening makes them wonder: Who's behind it? Are these people connected to the roses? Although Professor Martin Loshman-who seemed to be the man behind most of their troubles-was recently reported murdered by a motorcycle gang, is Loshman actually dead? If he is, then who is still searching for the roses? When James' curiosity leads him to discover another secret tunnel, he makes a spine-chilling discovery: an underground apartment where pictures of his entire family are posted on one wall, and a series of X-ed out photos posted on an adjacent wall-photos of those murdered in their pursuit of the roses. But four photos still have not been crossed out-why? Who will be next? Rosalie and James are determined to preserve the roses and to complete the re-opening of Holy Heart. Both will be living symbols of a new beginning of kindness, parity, love, and the end to hatred. But can they be protected? What demons from their past are still lurking?

This is the untold story of the Falklands War as experienced by a below-decks seaman on one of the most important ships to be despatched to the South Atlantic. It is a no-holds-barred account as seen through the eyes of a Royal Navy matelot who shared the terror of the first encounter with Argentinean forces when South Georgia was retaken from the invaders in Operation Paraquat. Then HMS Antrim lead the first attack into the North Falklands Sound where she destroyed enemy defences and later became part of the main force anti-aircraft defences in the infamous 'Bomb Alley' or San Carlos Water. During one of the many air attacks the ship was struck by a bomb that destroyed her defensive missile system, but through pure chance the bomb did not explode and remained aboard wedged in the aft 'heads'. All around the stricken ship other RN vessels were taking extreme punishment from the almost continuous onslaught from low-flying Argentinean jets. HMS Antelope, HMS Coventry and the Atlantic Conveyer were all lost within a short period whilst the army was trying to establish a bridgehead.
