The final instalment in UBP’s military history trilogy – out next week
Here at the Buckingham University Press (UBP), we are excited to announce that Lafayette We Are Here!, the highly anticipated final instalment in UBP’s military history trilogy, by Jean-Michel Steg is being launched on Monday 23 May. The first in this series - Death in the Ardennes: 22nd August 1914: France’s Deadliest Day was published in October 2021 and proved to be a great success. This, combined with the popularity of the second title - These Englishmen Who Died for France: 1st July 1916: The Bloodiest Day in British History – meant that we have accelerated the release of the final book in the series.
About Lafayette We Are Here!
6th June 1918 saw more American soldiers fall on French soil than the famous 1944 D-Day landings. Why is this fact so little known? As well as providing a detailed account of this funereal episode, Lafayette We Are Here! looks at the reasons behind American involvement in what was primarily a European conflict. Why did a neutral government in 1914, driven by a largely pacifist population, end up joining the Allies in 1917? In this third instalment of his trilogy concerning the deadliest days of the First World War, Jean-Michel Steg investigates a cataclysmic battle for the American Marines in a small wood in northern France and presents an informative and accessible overview of the military strategy and geopolitical context.

Small businesses often need packaging that is practical without creating unnecessary complexity in their fulfilment process. I found custom packaging for small business relevant because products may come in different sizes and standard packaging can sometimes create wasted space. A box that fits the product properly can help reduce movement and make packing more consistent. It can also reduce the need for extra filler materials depending on the type of product being shipped. Storage is particularly important for smaller businesses because packaging inventory can quickly take up limited workspace. Staff should also be able to assemble and close the boxes easily during busy periods. For online sellers, the packaging can contribute to the customer's overall impression when the order arrives.

Commercial buildings often require roofing solutions that balance performance, maintenance, and operating costs.

Finding a bee nest around a home can be concerning, especially when it is close to doors or frequently used outdoor areas. I appreciated the emphasis on handling these situations carefully. Homeowners considering Bee Removal Services should focus on safe and responsible removal rather than disturbing the nest themselves.
Lahore has businesses across manufacturing, retail, distribution, services, and many other sectors, so ERP requirements can vary significantly from one company to another. A business searching for an ERP solution provider in Lahore should first identify where its current processes are causing delays or repeated manual work. For some companies, inventory accuracy may be the main concern, while others may need better purchasing controls or financial reporting. Connecting these functions can help departments work with information that is updated more consistently. It can also give managers a clearer view of how one decision affects another part of the organization. I particularly think reporting should be evaluated because business owners need useful information without waiting for employees to combine several spreadsheets. The…
