Confederate Soldiers' Homes in the New South

By: R. B. Rosenburg

While battlefield parks and memorials erected in town squares and cemeteries have served to commemorate southern valor in the Civil War, Confederate soldiers' homes were actually 'living monuments' to the Lost Cause, housing the very men who made that cau

Changing Visions of East Asia, 1943-93

Transformations and Continuities

By: R.B. Smith

Ralph Smith was a highly respected historian who, at the time of his death in December 2000, had nearly completed a manuscript chronicling changes in the East Asia region since 1943. This fascinating work, completed and edited by Chad Mitcham, one of Ralph Smith’s former students, himself a specialist and established author in this field, draws together the product of Professor Smith’s research at archives in Britain, France, Japan and the United States, extensive reading and international travel from 1966 to 2000. The book also incorporates a distillation of ideas and themes explored in his earlier papers, articles and books, including Ralph Smith's pioneering three volume work, An International History of the Vietnam War. It shows how both Ralph Smith’s thinking about the future course of the region and the broader context of regional prospects radically changed throughout this turbulent time. As Ralph Smith’s last major research project, carried out from 1997 to 2000, the book has evolved from his 1997 paper ‘Visions of the Future: East Asia in 1943 and 1993’, delivered in the Huang Hsing Foundation Distinguished Lecture at the Asian Studies Centre, St Antony’s College, Oxford. It is a vital contribution to post-war Asian history.

War and Democracy

Essays on the Causes and Prevention of War

By: E. F. M. Durbin,John Bowlby,Ivor Thomas,D. P. T. Jay,R. B. Fraser,R. H. S. Crossman,George Catlin

Originally published in 1938, this book consists of a group of papers considering widely different subjects, but all bearing upon one social problem – the causation and prevention of war. The authors all occupy the same general political position, they are democratic socialists and active members of the Labour Party. The book falls into three rough divisions, although all the papers are self-contained. The first part of the book is psychological and attempts to summarise and analyse the non-historical evidence (ecological, psychological, and anthropological) about the causes of fighting. The second part is historical. It surveys the different causes of international war in the nineteenth century and then discusses the relation between nationalism and capitalism during the same period. The third part is political and first considers the relation of the use of force to the preservation of peace. Then analyses the choices of foreign policy for a pacific power confronted by the threat of aggressive military dictatorship. It concludes with a review and assessment of the various available policies for the prevention of war in general and under the specific contemporary conditions of the time.

Peacock of the CIA

By: R.B. Scarlett

Peacock of the CIA is a narrative, historical fiction novel about what happens when the Central Intelligence Agency mistakenly hires a psychopathic sociopath and sends him out into the world to recruit spies and steal secrets. Suave, sophisticated, cunning, and handsome, Douglas G. Peacock of the CIA cuts a wide swath through Asia, the Middle East, and Europe performing incredible feats of derring-do which, for the most part, should have been derring-don’ts. Chaos follows in his wake, and John “last-name-unpronounceable” follows behind, doing his best to set things right. Peacock of the CIA is a roller coaster ride through two decades of adventure and misadventure as The Great Game is played out on a global scale.

American Sea Power and the Obsolescence of Capital Ship Theory

By: R.B. Watts

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the United States has sought to achieve Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan's vision of "command of the sea" using large battle fleets of capital ships. This strategy has been generally successful: no force can oppose the U.S. Navy on the open seas. Yet capital ship theory has become increasingly irrelevant. Globally, irregular warfare dominates the spectrum of conflict, especially in the aftermath of 9/11. Fleet engagements are a thing of the past and even small scale missions that rely on capital ships are challenged by irregular warfare. In a pattern evident since World War II, the U.S. Navy has attempted to adapt its capital ship theory to irregular conflicts--with mixed results--before returning to traditional operations with little or no strategic debate. This book discusses the challenges of irregular warfare in the 21st century, and the need for U.S. naval power to develop a new strategic paradigm.

A New Beginning for Humankind

A Recipe for Lasting Peace on Earth

By: R. B. Herath

The world is reaching a nuclear tipping point, and a catastrophe looms. Even the United Nations cant seem to do anything about the threat. Given the circumstances, people everywhere need to unite to prevent a disaster. In this new study, peace activist R. B. Herath explains whats at stake and what everyday people can do to solve the problem. Here are some of the questions Herath seeks to answer: What are the major violent conflicts in the world today? Is there any guarantee that none of the ongoing violent conflicts will deteriorate into a worldwide fiasco? If there is no such guarantee, what needs to be done to prevent such an eventuality? Is there anything more to be done to ensure lasting peace on the planet? By taking steps to prevent tension from building up to a tipping point and by building a stronger system of checks and balances, its possible to resolve conflicts at all levels through peaceful means. Join Herath as he seeks to change habits that promote war to habits that promote peace in the face of the present troubled state of the world.

Long-term Ecological Change in the Northern Gulf of Alaska

By: R.B. Spies

This comprehensive text is a major synthesis on ecological change in the Gulf of Alaska. It encompasses the structural and annual changes, forces of change, long-ecological changes in the atmosphere and ocean, plankton, fish, birds and mammals, and the effects of the 1989 Exxon Valdez Oil Spill. With 5 major sections, Long-term Ecological Change in the Northern Gulf of Alaska first describes the physical features, the atmosphere and physical oceanography, the annual production cycle, the forage base for higher animals and trophic transfer, and the adaptations for survival in this changing environment for 9 portal species. Then, the major forces of change are introduced: climate, geophysics, fisheries and harvesting, species interactions, disease and contaminants. Next, the long-term records of change in physical factors and biological populations are presented, as well as the potential reasons for the biological changes. Following is the history of the Exxon Valdez oil spill and its long-term effects. And, finally, the emergent properties of the ecosystem are discussed and an attempt is made to weigh the importance of the major forcing factors in terms of their temporal and spatial scales of influence.* Examines important data on long-term change in the ecosystem and the forcing factors that are responsible for it * Provides an account of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill with emphasis on the long-term effects * Describes the effects of climate change, geophysical change, species interactions, harvesting, disease, the 1989 oil spill, and marine contaminants on key populations of marine organisms

Encyclopedia for the New American Century

Understanding Verbalizations in this New Age of Empire, Mythology and Consumerism.

By: R. B. Vineyard

Has the New American Century started without you? Get with it! It's time for everyone to get in line and join in the new unity and spirit of uni-partisanship-or else! The first step in knowing what's expected of you is to understand the language of ditto-headedness, neo-conformism, neo-speak and good old ass kissing of the properly imposed authorities. You might as well join up because if you don't, you're against it and that makes you a terrorist. The smart thing to do is to go meekly with the flow, for the meek shall inherit the earth! That's right-it's time to forget everything you thought you knew and submit to the current rewrite of history, the new logic and the proper way to think. Do as you're told and everything you do will glorify the New American Century and the heroic, fearless leaders who shall guide us through endless war for peace, evermore prosperity for the rich and a righteous submission of state to Church!

Topology in Chemistry

Discrete Mathematics of Molecules

By: D H Rouvray,R B King

This volume addresses a number of topological themes of direct relevance to chemists. Topological concepts are now regularly applied in wide areas of chemistry including molecular engineering and design, chemical toxicology, the study of molecular shape, crystal and surface structures, chemical bonding, macromolecular species such as polymers and DNA, and environmental chemistry. Currently, the design and synthesis of new drugs and agrochemicals are of especial importance. The book's prime focus is on the role played by topological indices in the description and characterisation of molecular species. The Wiener index along with a variety of other major topological indices, are discussed with particular reference to the powerful and much used connectivity indices. In this book an international team of leading experts review their respective fields and present their findings.The considerable benefits offered by topological indices in the investigation of chemical problems in science, medicine, and industry are highlighted. The volume records proceedings of the Harry Wiener Memorial Conference on the Role of Topology in Chemistry, held at the University of Georgia in March 2001, and serves as a fitting tribute to the chemical contributions of the late Harry Wiener. - Focuses on the role played by topological indices in the description and characterisation of molecular species - Records the proceedings of the Harry Weiner Memorial Conference on the Role of Topology in Chemistry, held at the University of Georgia in March 2001 - Along with a variety of other major topological indices, the Wiener index is discussed with particular reference to the powerful and much-used connectivity indices

How to Build a Space Station

By: R. B. Hewertson

How to Build a Space Station is a parable about two robots - BIZ1 and BIZ2, who are programmed with human emotions as well as sophisticated engineering skills. They go to work for competing companies that are building recreational space stations. Identical prior to delivery, they and we discover that, like people, workplace values impact them dramatically, affect their actions, and influence the quality of their work. Through delightful “human-like” characters, the author light-heartedly examines how workplace values, and the resultant organizational cultures, can shape our lives and impact our sense of well-being. Anyone who works within a team- leaders, managers, organizational development specialists- should read this book and pass it on as fast as you can!
