The greatest threat to the Western alliance in the 1960s did not come from an enemy, but from an ally. France, led by its mercurial leader General Charles de Gaulle, launched a global and comprehensive challenge to the United State’s leadership of the Free World, tackling not only the political but also the military, economic, and monetary spheres. Successive American administrations fretted about de Gaulle, whom they viewed as an irresponsible nationalist at best and a threat to their presence in Europe at worst. Based on extensive international research, this book is an original analysis of France’s ambitious grand strategy during the 1960s and why it eventually failed. De Gaulle’s failed attempt to overcome the Cold War order reveals important insights about why the bipolar international system was able to survive for so long, and why the General’s legacy remains significant to current French foreign policy.
This compilation succeeded the previous edition of 1877. Two-and-a-half times the size of its predecessor, it records the greatest increase in public general legislation between any two consecutive compilations in New Jersey's history. Its bulk pays witness to the state's rapid growth during the nineteenth century and its engagement with the forces of modernity. Such topics as "Usury" and "Militia" in 1877 are redefined as "Interest" and "National Guard"; new additions include laws dealing with labor arbitration, civil rights and occupational safety. Luce's Table of Statutes, an invaluable tool originally published separately in 1900, is included in Volume I. Our reprint also has a detailed table of contents, a feature that was not included in the original work.

The truth is how things are made known. Truth is the witness of all honesty. Truth is the undefiled words which bring forth understanding. Truth knows without doubts. Truth is not always what we would like it to be, for truth is the revelation of what is real or exact. Truth has no sin; therefore, truth is always perfectly correct. Admitting to what the truth is (no matter what comes from that truth) will set you free from bearing false witness or information. In a thought-provoking blend of biblical study and allegorical storytelling, Joseph Garrett invites readers to join him in the search for truth and meaning. He does not shy away from even the most challenging questions. Are there really any absolute truths? Why are we here? What is our destiny? Garrett examines Scripture in an effort to uncover answers to the questions that we all ask. In a fascinating parable, he examines the issues of sin and salvation and heaven and hell. His detailed analysis of Revelation is both approachable and provocative. In a world where truth seems increasingly hard to pinpoint, Garrett succeeds in taking a firm stand. Readers will be encouraged to ask hard questions and to discover for themselves The Lost Truths About Our Lives.

No one besides Zero will befriend Mark the little Minus Sign, or tell him what his talent is because they don’t want him to take away something they value. To Mark, it feels like all of the other children at school know their talents already; even Mark’s best friend, Zero, finds his!!! Through his vivid imagination at the prompting of Miss Story, an imaginary number, with her mysteriously blank book, Mark finds adventure, a new friend, and finally his true talent.
Ancient Chinese walls, such as the Great Wall of China, were not sovereign border lines. Instead, sovereign space was zonally exerted with monarchical powers expressed gradually over an area, based on possibilities for administrative action. The dynamically shifting, ritualized articulation of early Chinese sovereignty affects the interpretation of the spatial application of state force, including its cartographic representations. In Designing Boundaries in Early China, Garret Pagenstecher Olberding draws on a wide array of source materials concerning the territorialization of space to make a compelling case for how sovereign spaces were defined and regulated in this part of the ancient world. By considering the ways sovereignty extended itself across vast expanses in early China, Olberding informs our understanding of the ancient world and the nature of modern nation-states.
American essayist and Harper's contributing editor Garret Keizer offers a brilliant, literate look at our strip-searched, over-shared, viral-videoed existence. Body scans at the airport, candid pics on Facebook, a Twitter account for your stray thoughts, and a surveillance camera on every street corner -- today we have an audience for all of the extraordinary and banal events of our lives. The threshold between privacy and exposure becomes more permeable by the minute. But what happens to our private selves when we cannot escape scrutiny, and to our public personas when they pass from our control? In this wide-ranging, penetrating addition to the Big Ideas//Small Books series, and in his own unmistakable voice, Garret Keizer considers the moral dimensions of privacy in relation to issues of social justice, economic inequality, and the increasing commoditization of the global marketplace. Though acutely aware of the digital threat to privacy rights, Keizer refuses to see privacy in purely technological terms or as an essentially legalistic value. Instead, he locates privacy in the human capacity for resistance and in the sustainable society "with liberty and justice for all.
