Excerpt:Senior club appearances and goalscounted for the domestic league only.* Appearances (Goals) Liam Watson (born 21 October 1970) is an English former professional footballer and currently manager of Conference National side Southport. Having plied his trade at Maghull and Burscough, Watson finally made his mark at Warrington Town where John Beck signed him for Preston North End for a fee of £60,000. This smashed Warrington Town's transfer fee received record which had only been set a few weeks earlier when Neil Whalley also moved to Deepdale for just £25,000. He scored in his debut after replacing the injured Micky Norbury in a 5-2 win over Rotherham United on the 27th March 1993 and then netted again in his next two appearances against Port Vale and Huddersfield Town. They would turn out to be the only three goals he would score for Preston but went on to make six more appearances before a serious injury cut short his professional footballing career. Due to his injury Watson retired from professional football and returned to non-league. The first side to sign him on his return was Marine before moving on to Witton Albion and then eventually Runcorn. Watson was soon signed from Runcorn by John Coleman for a short stint at ambitious Accrington Stanley before returning to the newly renamed Runcorn F.C. Halton in a managerial capacity replacing Mark Carter. In September 2000, Watson, at the relatively young age of 29, became Runcorn's new manger in the Northern Premier League. With little budget Watson was forced to scour the reserves of local non-league teams with a bulk of his signings coming from Southport, who he would later go on to manage, performing mi...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=22155136 ...

Product Description
The Evolution of International Society describes and compares the changing rules and practices of ancient systems, showing their development within a spectrum ranging from loose international societies of many independent states ordered by some degree of hegemony, to tighter imperial systems tempered by some measure of autonomy. The book demonstrates in convincing detail that political entities have usually co-existed, not in an anarchic state of nature, but organized by agreed rules and practices that derive substantially from past experience. ...

Interesting Approach
Great history lesson of "empires" of the past and how they relate to hegemonic tendencies. Of course, 300+ years of rule couldn't be summed up in 300 pages, but the book has fairly poignant examples. It might be advised to read the Introduction and Conclusions first. It will allow the reader to understand the material better. ... Read more
