Respectfully and intelligently representing the views of humanists and religious believers alike, this book explores answers to questions like: what do the astrological disciplines teach about past and future history; what does God expect; what does the Bible teach on evolution and abortion; who was Jesus and what really happened on Golgotha; what do Jews await in the Messianic age; what does the Quran teach on jihad and on women's rights; what is the emotional root of the dispute between Christianity, Judaism and Islam.

Ancient steam engines of the Guayaquil & Quito Railway labor up the slopes of the Andes in Ecuador. Luxurious passenger carriages from another era amble across the great western desert of China at dusk.

Trains is a photographic journey to the world of railroads. For five years, photographer Graeme Outerbridge traveled the globe by rail photographing everything that caught his eye -- hulking engines, stations both lonely and bustling, dark tunnels, high-speed expresses, railroad workers, signs, signals, and the landscapes that the trains traversed. His images reveal the universal language of forms and colors that trains have created, and are as evocative as a lonesome whistle in the night.

Ethnic Conflict and International Security

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brown, Michael E., PUBLISHER: Princeton University Press, During the Cold War, most international relations theorists and strategic studies analysts paid little attention to ethnic and other forms of communal conflict. Disregard for the importance of ethnic and nationality issues in world affairs, always misguided so far as the developing world was concerned, has been overtaken, in stunning fashion, by recent events from Abkhazia to Zaire. The essays in this volume advance our understanding of the causes of ethnic and communal conflict, the regional and international implications of such conflicts, and what the international community can do to minimize the potential for instability and violence. Drawn from recent issues of "Survival," they are organized along thematic rather than regional lines, and will be required reading for scholars, students, and policymakers alike. The contributors to the volume include Michael Brown on the causes and implications of ethnic conflict, Anthony Smith on the ethnic sources of nationalism, David Welsh on domestic politics and ethnic conflict, Renee de Nevers on democratization and ethnic conflict, and Pierre Hassner on nationalism and internationalism. Jack Snyder writes on nationalism and the crisis of the post-Soviet state, Barry Posen on the security dilemma and ethnic conflict, Kathleen Newland on ethnic conflict and refugees, Jenonne Walker on international mediation of ethnic conflicts, and Robert Cooper and Mats Berdal on outside intervention in ethnic conflicts, Adam Roberts discusses the U.N. and international security, and John Chipman explores managing the politics of parochialism.

World System Structure: Continuity and Change

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hollist, W. Ladd, PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), The essays in this volume highlight the different views taken of the world economic system. The first two essays are firmly grounded in the world system of Immanuel Wallerstein. Other essays offer alternative concepts and discuss them in the light of contemporary events -- newly industrializing nations and Third World coalitions. In the final section, Hollist and Rosenau reach conflicting conclusions as to where the world system, and the study of it, are proceding. '...the collection captures a wide range of alternative approaches that international relations and world-system scholars might profitably be jointly aware of. This heightened awareness surely will stimulate even greater dialogue, the goal of the editors.' -- Contemporary Sociology, Vol 12 No 6, November
