Into Tibet: The CIA's First Atomic Spy and His Secret

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Laird, Thomas, PUBLISHER: Grove/Atlantic, Into Tibet is the incredible story of a American undercover expedition led by America's first atomic agent, Douglas S. Mackiernan -- a covert attempt to arm the Tibetans and to recognize Tibet's independence in the months before China invaded. It recounts a harrowing and unprecedented two-thousand-mile trek on foot and camel across China and the deserts of inner Asia. For the first time, Thomas Laird reveals how Mackiernan helped establish a covert intelligence pipeline from China to India; how he gathered atomic intelligence for the United States; how his partner Frank Bessac urged the Tibetan government to request covert U.S. military aid and then carried the signed request out of Lhasa; and, finally, how Dean Rusk and the CIA responded. Laird reveals how the clash between the State Department and the CIA, as well us unguided actions by field agents, hastened the Chinese invasion of Tibet. Commenting on American motivations during this operation for the first time, the Dalai Lama says bluntly, "The courage was not there." U.S. government actions were ultimately a kiss of death for Tibet and Mackiernan -- the first CIA agent ever killed during a covert operation. A gripping narrative of survival, courage, and intrigue among the nomads, princes, and warring armies of inner Asia, Into Tibet rewrites the accepted history behind the Chinese invasion of Tibet. "Laird does an exemplary job of investigating, reporting, and shaping the events and personalities that compose the tragic story." -- Bob Shacochis, author of The Immaculate Invasion

But They Spit, Scratch and Swear: A School-Age Care Survival

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Whelan, Mary Steiner, PUBLISHER: Redleaf Press, They spit. They scratch. They swear. They talk back. They kick. They roll their eyes. They challenge. They throw things. Discipline, or behavior guidance, is often the most difficult part of what teachers do, especially for school-age programs, where there is often no curriculum and kids aren't getting graded. But discipline is also the most important part of a program, writes author, trainer, and former educator Mary Steiner Whelan. It can open the world of possibilities that live inside children -- the possibility of self-control, competency, self-respect, creativity, integrity, resiliency, and self-worth. Or, it can shut down a child's hope, her empathy for others, and her positive sense of self. A survival guide to school-age care, But They Spit Scratch and Swear lists the "do's and don'ts of discipline". The book will help teachers with little experience in the field establish behavior guidance techniques and philosophies in their programs, where there is less structure than school time and often more challenges with behavior. Beginning with a brief examination of the history of school-age care and the developmental issues facing the field, the book also includes an array of exercises designed to foster a teacher's self-knowledge as an integral part of learning how to discipline children. Covering a variety of disciplinary issues, from setting limits to giving children "cools" (the author's replacement for the punitive use of "time-outs"), But They Spit Scratch and Swear is written to inspire teachers to face the struggles of discipline and the challenges of each and every child again and again. The book urges that teachers do more than just memorize the rules fordiscipline, and instead look inside to ask how each do or don't works in a particular situation.

Regional Politics: America in a Post-City Age

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Savitch, H. V. / Vogel, Ronald K., PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), Bringing together the thoughts of outstanding contributors, Regional Politics presents a comparative study on the emerging regional nature of local and urban politics. Recent studies tend to focus on the politics and power of internal cities or on suburban areas that have gained incredible strength in the past decade. However, this important volume explores how politics work in the extended metropolis or "functional city"--which includes and surrounds the urban core and whose economy, society, and politics are integrally joined. Contributors center on detailed case studies of 10 cities with a look at the development of regional patterns, an analysis of the impact regionalism has on urban politics, and an outline for an overall approach. The comprehensive and state-of-the-art expertise presented in this volume makes Regional Politics ideal for planners, policymakers, academics, researchers, and students in the areas of urban politics, state and local government, and public policy.

Collateral Damaged: The Marketing of Consumer Debt to

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Geisst, Charles R., PUBLISHER: Bloomberg Press, Sometime in the s and s, the use of credit cards, which had begun as a convenience, began to grow into an addiction. "Collateral Damaged: The Marketing of Consumer Debt to America" explains how a nation of savers became a nation of consumers and how Wall Street used consumers' addiction to spending to create the "toxic securities" that threaten to bring about the collapse of the global economy. Geisst looks at the policy implications of the credit crisis and describes how the United States can get its fiscal house in order: Debt must be brought back onto the issuer's balance sheet. Investors must have the assurance of recourse to the debt issuer's own funds, rather than the empty promise of a valueless document. Regulators must be educated to know at least as much about financial engineering as the structured finance instruments' architects do. This book connects the dots from consumer spending to credit cards to home-equity loans and back to credit cards.

Right to Arm Bears

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dickson, Gordon R., PUBLISHER: Baen Books, HUMANS OR HEMNOIDS: AN UNBEARABLE CHOICE Planet Dilbia is in a crucial location for both humans and their adversaries, the Hemnoids. Therefore making friends with the Dilbians and establishing a human presence there is of the utmost importance, which may be a problem, since the bearlike Dilbians stand some nine feet tall, and have a high regard for physical prowess. They're not impressed by human technology, either. A real man, er, bear doesn't need machines to do his work for him. But Dilbians "are" impressed by sharp thinking, and some have expressed a grudging admiration for the logical (and usually sneaky) mental maneuvers that the human "shorties" have used to get themselves out of desperate jams. Just maybe that old human craftiness will win over the Dilbians to the human side. If not, we lose a nexus, and the Dilbians will learn just how unbearable Hemnoids can be....
