The thrill of victory and the humiliation of defeat The Extreme Sports Network is the cash cow feeding off America’s lust for blood, guts and sex disguised as competitive athletics. From Extreme Nude Luge to the excruciatingly gory Extreme Outback Crocodile Habitat Marathon – it’s ESN’s life-or-death thrill ride to high ratings. But why do Americans always win and Europeans. . . die? The answer, Remo suspects, lies in Battle Creek, Michigan, where the creator of Extreme Nuggets breakfast cereal is putting a new spin on marketing. Unfortunately for CURE, Remo is busy peddling his skills in Hollywood as star of a new reality show, sending Harold Smith into a panic. Chiun’s taking matters into his own hands, which is no comfort to Smith, because he’s now convinced that CURE has plunged into an extreme out-of-control spiral. Breathlessly action-packed and boasting a winning combination of thrills, humour and mysticism, the Destroyer is one of the bestselling series of all time.

Eric Hobsbawm

A Life in History

By: Richard J. Evans

Eric Hobsbawm's works have had a nearly incalculable effect across generations of readers and students, influencing more than the practice of history but also the perception of it. Born in Alexandria, Egypt, of second-generation British parents, Hobsbawm was orphaned at age fourteen in 1931. Living with an uncle in Berlin, he experienced the full force of world economic depression, and in the charged reaction to it in Germany was forced to choose between Nazism and Communism, which was no choice at all. Hobsbawm's lifelong allegiance to Communism inspired his pioneering work in social history, particularly the trilogy for which he is most famous--The Age of Revolution, The Age of Capital, and The Age of Empire--covering what he termed "the long nineteenth century" in Europe. Selling in the millions of copies, these held sway among generations of readers, some of whom went on to have prominent careers in politics and business. In this comprehensive biography of Hobsbawm, acclaimed historian Richard Evans (author of The Third Reich Trilogy, among other works) offers both a living portrait and vital insight into one of the most influential intellectual figures of the twentieth century. Using exclusive and unrestricted access to the unpublished material, Evans places Hobsbawm's writings within their historical and political context. Hobsbawm's Marxism made him a controversial figure but also, uniquely and universally, someone who commanded respect even among those who did not share-or who even outright rejected-his political beliefs. Eric Hobsbawm: A Life in History gives us one of the 20th century's most colorful and intellectually compelling figures. It is an intellectual life of the century itself.

Harvard A to Z

By: John T. Bethell,Richard M. Hunt,Robert Shenton

Open this book and step into the storied corridors of the nation's oldest university; encounter the historic landmarks and curiosities; and among them, meet the famous dropouts and former students, the world-class scholars, eccentrics, and prodigies who have given the institution its incomparable character. An alphabetical compendium of short but substantial essays about Harvard University--its undergraduate college and nine professional schools--this volume traverses the gamut of Harvardiana from Aab and Admissions to X Cage and Z Closet. In between are some two hundred entries written by three Harvard veterans who bring to the task over 125 years of experience within the university. The entries range from essential facts to no less interesting ephemera, from the Arnold Arboretum designed by Frederick Law Olmsted to the peculiar medical specimens of the Warren Museum; from Arts and Athletics to Towers and Tuition: from the very real environs (Cambridge, Charles River, and Quincy Street) to the Harvard of Hollywood and fiction. Harvard A to Z is a browser's delight, offering readers the chance to dip into the history and lore, the character and culture of America's foremost institution of higher learning.

Ike Would Be Proud

Eisenhower Fellowships - a Leadership Program

By: C. Richard Peterson

Dick Peterson has written this book about the Eisenhower Fellows, and for the Fellows. He has chosen to focus on two very visible examples of the Fellows leadership and networking the Irish Peace Process and ProyectoCities. As an active EF Trustee since 1994, Dick has become convinced that these models can be adapted and applied by Fellows around the world in ways that will make a real difference in their communities and regions. He is absolutely right. I am confident that his two case studies will serve as inspiration to many other groups of Eisenhower Fellows who are already working together to make a difference. Adrian A. Basora Adrian Basora is President of the Eisenhower Fellowships. He is a former U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic. Adrian was Ambassador to Czeckslovakia at the time of the Velvet Revolution which created a separate Slovakia from the Czech Republic. Dick Peterson has splendidly combined his experience as a CEO, his command of organizational development, and affection for Eisenhower Fellowships. The result is a fertile study of two of the most important team projects among Fellows, of which many more are latent around the world. Theodore Friend Theodore Friend, former President of Swarthmore College, and President Emeritus of Eisenhower Fellowships, was awarded the Bancroft Prize for his book on Philippine-American history, Between Two Empires. His other books include The Blue-Eyed Enemy and Family Laundry, a novel. Dr. Friend is presently a Senior Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia. His latest book, Indonesian Destinies (Harvard University Press, 2003) penetrates events that gave birth to the worlds fourth largest nation and assesses the continuing dangers that threaten its security.

Students of Color and the Achievement Gap

Systemic Challenges, Systemic Transformations

By: Richard R. Valencia

Students of Color and the Achievement Gap is a comprehensive, landmark analysis of an incontrovertible racialized reality in U.S. K-12 public education---the relentless achievement gap between low-socioeconomic students of color and their economically advantaged White counterparts. Award winning author and scholar Richard Valencia provides an authoritative and systemic treatment of the achievement gap, focusing on Black and Latino/Latina students. He examines the societal and educational factors that help to create and maintain the achievement gap by drawing from critical race theory, an asset-based perspective and a systemic inequality approach. By showing how racialized opportunity structures in society and schools ultimately result in racialized patterns of academic achievement in schools, Valencia shows how the various indicators of the achievement gap are actually symptoms of the societal and school quality gaps. Following each of these concerns, Valencia provides a number of reform suggestions that can lead to systemic transformations of K-12 education. Students of Color and the Achievement Gap makes a persuasive and well documented case that school success for students of color, and the empowerment of their parents, can only be fully understood and realized when contextualized within broader political, economic, and cultural frameworks.

The Changing Landscape in Eastern Europe

A Personal Perspective on Philanthropy and Technology Transfer

By: Richard E. Quandt

This book shows how philanthropy can be a primary force in the transfer of technology in transitional societies. It demonstrates the necessity of retraining of people and how this endeavor is as important as the technology itself. It is essentially about Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Latvia, Estonia, with somewhat smaller emphases on Russia, Romania and South Africa. It chronicles, explains, and analyzes western assistance efforts in Eastern Europe between 1989 and 2000 in the context of the political and economic events of the period, with particular emphasis on the activities of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Factors that made transfers more or less successful and the role of social institutions and human factors will be highlighted. Significant illustrations include the creation of a small enterprise sectors, MBA programs, economic programs, and new markets and financial institutions. The material provides the reader with a clear understanding of how institutions for economic education emerged in Central and Eastern Europe, what role of US foundations and academic institutions played, and what the interplay with local personalities involved.

Cancer Family

The Search for the Cause of Hereditary Colorectal Cancer

By: C. Richard Boland MD

It is 1946, and a young man stares out his third-story apartment window. He has returned from the war with metastatic cancer and assumes he will die, leaving his wife and infant daughter behind. Instead, he lives another twenty-four years, raising a family of four children, before he succumbs to a second colon cancer. His son, the author, recognizes that there is a hereditary cancer syndrome in the family and resolves to solve the problem as a medical researcher. Eventually, hereditary colorectal cancer is recognized as a medical entity, and multiple genes responsible for this hereditary condition are isolated. However, the mutation responsible in the authors family escaped detection. In 2001, his laboratory identifies the mutation responsible for the problem and develops a specific test for the family. This permits the mutation carriers to obtain life-saving care, altering the natural history of the disease for his family and others.

Thorps in a Changing Landscape

By: Paul Cullen,Richard Jones,David Parsons

Considering the minor settlements of England's Danelaw--villages known as thorps or throps--this history demonstrates how place-name evidence can be used to understand early cultures. By integrating linguistic and archaeological approaches, it establishes a compelling connection between the creation of these place-names and the fundamental changes taking place in the English landscape between AD 850 and 1250. The integral role of thorps in revolutionizing agricultural practice at that time is thoroughly analyzed.
