The Korean Conundrum

America's Troubled Relations with North and South Korea

By: Ted Galen Carpenter,Doug Bandow

The US seems to be heading directly toward a confrontation with North Korea as Koreans in the south, and nations around the world, anxiously witness mounting tension. Carpenter and Bandow take a look at the twin crises now afflicting US policy in East Asia: the reemergence of North Korea's nuclear weapons program and the growing anti-American sentiment in South Korea. They question whether Washington's East Asia security strategy makes sense with the looming prospect of US troops stationed in South Korea becoming nuclear hostages. Carpenter and Bandow put forth the most provocative solution yet to this gnarled and dangerous situation.

Liquid Land

A Journey Through the Florida Everglades

By: Ted Levin

Levin has traveled extensively through the Everglades, often in the company of such dedicated individuals as Archie Jones, the conchologist who for fifty years has been studying and rescuing tree snails, or Frank Mazzotti, with whom Levin spent two weeks in the field monitoring American crocodiles. Through Levin's adventures we come to know intimately a place where water was meant to flow as a broad, shallow "sheet" and where minuscule changes in elevation yield a dramatic change in the diversity of life, from manatees and mangroves on the coast to panthers and orchids in the interior."--BOOK JACKET.

The Political Economy of Food and Finance

By: Ted P. Schmidt

The Political Economy of Food and Finance

By: Ted P. Schmidt

The financialization, globalization and industrialization of our food systems make it increasingly difficult to access quality fresh food. In fact, the industrialized global food system is creating products that are less food-like, engendering growing questions about the health and safety of our food supply. In addition, the bio-engineering of food commodities is another factor influencing the growth of industrial farming for an increasingly homogenized, globalized market. This book describes the financialization process in commodity futures markets which transformed commodities into an asset class. Incorporated into the portfolio decisions of investors, commodity prices now behave like all asset prices, becoming more volatile and subject to periodic bubbles. As commodity prices were driven higher in the 2000s, farmland became more valuable, setting off a global land grab by investors, nations, and corporations. More recently, under the financialization food regime, slow growth and low returns encouraged merger activity driven by private equity firms, with food industry corporations as prime targets, leading to increased industry concentration. With government policy focused on supporting corporate interests, there has been a global reaction to the current food system. The food sovereignty movement is taking on the interests behind the global land grab, and the regional food movement in cities across the U.S. is hitting corporations at the bottom line. Food corporations are listening. Is the food movement winning? This book is of interest to those who study political economy, financialization and agriculture and related studies, as well as food systems and commodity future markets.

Last Stand

Ted Turner's Quest to Save a Troubled Planet

By: Todd Wilkinson,Ted Turner

Entrepreneur and media mogul Ted Turner has commanded global attention for his dramatic personality, his founding of CNN, his marriage to Jane Fonda, and his company’s merger with Time Warner. But his green resume has gone largely ignored, even while his role as a pioneering eco-capitalist means more to Turner than any other aspect of his legacy. He currently owns more than two million acres of private land (more than any other individual in America), and his bison herd exceeds 50,000 head, the largest in history. He donated $1 billion to help save the UN, and has recorded dozens of other firsts with regard to wildlife conservation, fighting nukes, and assisting the poor. He calls global warming the most dire threat facing humanity, and says that the tycoons of the future will be minted in the development of green, alternative renewable energy. Last Stand goes behind the scenes into Turner’s private life, exploring the man’s accomplishments and his motivations, showing the world a fascinating and flawed, fully three-dimensional character. From barnstorming the country with T. Boone Pickens on behalf of green energy to a pivotal night when he considered suicide, Turner is not the man the public believes him to be. Through Turner’s eyes, the reader is asked to consider another way of thinking about the environment, our obligations to help others in need, and the grave challenges threatening the survival of civilization.

Curriculum in a New Key

The Collected Works of Ted T. Aoki

By: Ted T. Aoki

Ted T. Aoki, the most prominent curriculum scholar of his generation in Canada, has influenced numerous scholars around the world. Curriculum in a New Key brings together his work, over a 30-year span, gathered here under the themes of reconceptualizing curriculum; language, culture, and curriculum; and narrative. Aoki's oeuvre is utterly unique--a complex interdisciplinary configuration of phenomenology, post-structuralism, and multiculturalism that is both theoretically and pedagogically sophisticated and speaks directly to teachers, practicing and prospective. Curriculum in a New Key: The Collected Works of Ted T. Aoki is an invaluable resource for graduate students, professors, and researchers in curriculum studies, and for students, faculty, and scholars of education generally.

Call Me Ted

By: Ted Turner,Bill Burke

Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise!" These words of fatherly advice helped shape Ted Turner's remarkable life, but they only begin to explain the colorful, energetic, and unique style that has made Ted into one of the most amazing personalities of our time. Along the way - among his numerous accomplishments - Ted became one of the richest men in the world, the largest land owner in the United States, revolutionized the television business with the creation of TBS and CNN, became a champion sailor and winner of the America's Cup, and took home a World Series championship trophy in 1995 as owner of the Atlanta Braves. An innovative entrepreneur, outspoken nonconformist, and groundbreaking philanthropist, Ted Turner is truly a living legend, and now, for the first time, he reveals his personal story. From his difficult childhood to the successful launch of his media empire to the catastrophic AOL/Time Warner deal, Turner spares no details or feelings and takes the reader along on a wild and sometimes bumpy ride. You'll also hear Ted's personal take on how we can save the world...share his experiences in the dugout on the day when he appointed himself as manager of the Atlanta Braves....learn how he almost lost his life in the 1979 Fastnet sailing race (but came out the winner)...and discover surprising details about his dealings with Fidel Castro, Mikhail Gorbachev, Jimmy Carter, Bill Gates, Jack Welch, Warren Buffett, and many more of the most influential people of the past half century. Ted also doesn't shrink from the darker and more intimate details of his life. With his usual frankness, he discusses a childhood of loneliness (he was left at a boarding school by his parents at the tender age of four), and the emotional impact of devastating losses (Ted's beloved sister died at seventeen and his hard-charging father committed suicide when Ted was still in his early twenties). Turner is also forthcoming about his marriages, including the one to Oscar-winning actress, Jane Fonda. Along the way, Ted's friends, colleagues, and family are equally revealing in their unique "Ted Stories" which are peppered throughout the book. Jane Fonda, especially, provides intriguing insights into Ted's inner drive and character. In Call Me Ted, you'll hear Ted Turner's distinctive voice on every page. Always forthright, he tells you what makes him tick and what ticks him off, and delivers an honest account of what he's all about. Inspiring and entertaining, Call Me Ted sheds new light on one of the greatest visionaries of our time.

Escape from Abuse

By: Ted Louis

Physically and sexually abused by his father, then locked in a garden shed without food, Joel spends the night digging his way out through the hard dirt floor with only his hands and a sharp stick. As he reenters the house, he is confronted by the sight of his abuser shooting and killing his mother. After being threatened by his father, the traumatized boy flees the house and wanders in a daze. Crane Johnson, a wealthy twenty-nine year old bachelor, volunteers time coaching with a policeman friend in the policemen's baseball league for teenage boys. At the completion of one of the team's games, he discovers a lone boy about twelve years old sitting in the bleachers. The boy, dirty, disheveled and unable to speak, appears to be traumatized and can't or won't reveal who he is or where he lives. The boy attaches himself to Crane. Later Crane discovers that the boy, now known as Joel, has three brothers who were found by police abandoned and locked in a closet of their home. Set in the beautiful and peaceful South Texas hill country, Crane uses his wealth to fight official corruption and prejudice to keep Joel and his brothers.

A Body Politic to Govern

The Political Humanism of Elizabeth I

By: Ted Booth

A Body Politic to Govern: The Political Humanism of Elizabeth I is a fresh look at a much studied historical figure. This work examines the influence between the virtues and thoughts of the political humanists of the Italian Renaissance, and the political persona of England’s Elizabeth I. Special attention is paid to how Elizabeth constructed literary works such as letters and speeches, as well the style in which she governed England. This learned queen exemplified the virtues of political humanism through her dedication to the vita activa, amor patriae, and service to the greater good of her realm. In order to silence her critics who had license to criticize her as a female monarch, Elizabeth chose to speak the political language of the day, defending and asserting her right to rule by relying on her classical humanist education.

Access and Participation in Irish Higher Education

By: Ted Fleming,Andrew Loxley,Fergal Finnegan

This book explores the access and participation issues present within Higher Education in Ireland. It examines policy, pedagogy and practices in relation to widening participation and documents the progress and challenges encountered in furthering the ‘access agenda’ over the past two decades. Access has become an integral part of how Higher Education understands itself and how it explains the value of what it does for society as a whole. Improving access to education strengthens social cohesion, lessens inequality, guarantees the future vitality of tertiary institutions and ensures economic competitiveness and flexibility in the era of the “Knowledge Based Economy”. Offering a coherent, critical account of recent developments in Irish Higher Education and the implications for Irish society as a whole, this book is essential for those involved both in researching the field and in Higher Education itself.

Edge of the Sword

The Ordeal of Carpetbagger Marshall H. Twitchell in the Civil War and Reconstruction

By: Ted Tunnell

Ted Tunnell's superbly researched biography of Marshall H. Twitchell is a major addition to Reconstruction literature. New England native, Union soldier, Freedmen's Bureau agent, and Louisiana planter, Twitchell became the radical political boss of Red River Parish in the 1870s. He forged an economic alliance with entrepreneurial Jewish merchants and rose to power during the first upswing of the southern economy after the war. The Panic of 1873, however, undermined his regime and virtually overnight the New Englander quickly went from financial benefactor to scapegoat for northwest Louisiana's failed dreams of prosperity. His life-and-death struggle with the notorious White League has more gut-wrenching suspense than most novels. The first full-length study of Twitchell, Edge of the Sword is edifying, entertaining, and cutting-edge scholarship.

Skullduggery!

The True Causes of The Financial Crisis

Skullduggery!

The True Causes of The Financial Crisis

By: Ted Krager

I spent 30 years of my life, 1977-2008, working in financial services - either for Wall Street or self-employed as a mortgage banker with 300+ employees in 39 states! In the 70''s when I graduated from high school and college, the country was besieged with protests over the war in Viet Nam and those protests tore the fabric of our society. My best friend from age 11 to 19 joined the Navy and became a SEAL. Each time he came home on leave and in the years after he left the Navy, I heard bits and pieces of some of the things he had to do and my heart bled. We also had the shootings at Kent State and the Watergate scandal under President Nixon. The country was ripped apart, much like the past 3 1/2 years, by social and political conflicts, riots and demonstrations. A pervasive air of racial strife persisted, caused by the shooting of Martin Luther King. Not surprisingly, a schism formed in the country just as the leading edge of the baby boom generation was becoming adults. It seemed that my generation transformed into "hippies / flower children, labels analogous today with progressives / socialists / Occupy Wall Street protestors. Others became conservatives. That first group was the epitome of "sex, drugs and rock and roll" even into adulthood while the second group seemed mostly to grow past that stage and become business leaders / self-employed entrepreneurs / conservatives. In Skullduggery, I make the case that it was the 60''s and early 70''s that caused the majority of 76,000,000 baby boomers to evolve into Democrats or Republicans. At my 20th, 30th and 40th year high school reunions, talking to my friends that were in both of those groups, I estimate that ~90% of the hippies are liberals today and ~90% of the others are conservatives. The exceptions are rare. The point of bringing this up is that eventually the country returned to more peaceful times: the Viet Nam conflict ended, Nixon resigned in disgrace and the wounds from Kent State healed. Today, in 2012, the country is again just as torn as it has was in the 1970''s due once again to Middle East wars, the Great Recession of 2007 - 2012, President Obama''s constant and incendiary rhetoric, incessant politicking over race, ObamaCare, divisive dialogue of the haves and have-nots, his infamous campaign gaffe to Joe the Plumber, spread the wealth around, the 99% vs the Top 1% (class warfare), millionaires and billionaires and his war with big business. So much for Hope and Change, Change We Can Believe In and my favorite the first post-racial president. To the contrary, the United States of America is as unsettled, divided and angry as I have seen it since the 1960''s and the early 1970''s. The big questions are easy ones: Why? and What caused this return to the anger and the hostilities of the 60''s and 70''s? Since I am part of the baby boom generation and was very much a participant in both the professions of Wall Street and mortgage banking, I am in a unique position to tell you about what I saw and heard up close and personal in the 1960''s - 1970''s AND about the decade that led up to what culminated in the Great Recession of 2007-2012 that we are still clawing our way out of. Here are a few things that might surprise you, further discussed in this book: 1. The overwhelming majority of Greedy Wall Streeters and Fat Cat Bankers are massive and consistent donors to liberal Democrats, even in 2012 in the face of Obama''s persistent (and false) accusations of casting them as the fat cat bankers and greedy Wall Streeters as causing the recession! 2. The senior most executives in these companies pilloried by President Obama, gave upwards of 60% of total donations, over $20M, to Obama''s 2008 presidential campaign and his Political Action Committees into 2009. 3. The earliest beginnings of the current Financial Crisis started back in the late 1970''s. 4. Some of the names that were catalysts of the Financial Crisis are very well known activists, anarchists, life-long socialists, present and former D.C. politicians and three very well known U.S. presidents. 5. And, just in case you have not done your research or taken the time to trace the trail of bread crumbs back to the source... you need to know the irrefutable reality that: The Subprime Mortgage Crisis = The Financial Crisis of 2007 - 2012 6. From the very beginnings of The Financial Crisis in the fall of 2007, the media referred to this as The Subprime Mortgage Crisis, until they didn''t. Why did they change the name, the label if you will, of the meltdown of the U.S. economy that soon infected the balance sheets of many foreign banks, other countries, even a small village in Norway? Because the powers that be, that have the media in their pocket, told the media that calling it the Subprime Mortgage Crisis was too close to home... too close to reality... too easily focused in on the exact manipulations that lead back to the beginnings of what became a global financial debacle. So, the media started referring to the meltdown as The Financial Crisis or The Great Recession and took the spotlight off the root cause, subprime mortgages, created by liberal President Jimmy Carter and then crammed down our throats by activist Chicago attorney Barack Obama and progressive President Bill Clinton. Your mission, if you choose to accept it and don''t want all this to happen again, or if you are just Mad As Hell and Not Going To Take it Anymore, is to take a journey of discovery back to the era that created what came to be known as subprime mortgages. You must understand the people and their rationales that took on a life of its own in throwing out the common sense rules and regulations that mortgage lending institutions (banks, credit unions, savings and loans, etc.) had used since records were kept starting in the 1940''s, that had kept mortgage defaults under 2% for 60 years but exploded to 14% from 2008 to 2010. (A mortgage in default is when a homeowner is 90 days or more in arrears.) Clearly, unequivocally, a 600% increase in defaults in less than 2 years didn''t arise overnight nor was it caused by a free market economy! Rather, it is the result of gross manipulation of free markets by ideologues that resulted in the worst, by far, financial crisis since The Great Depression, and it could have been avoided!

Volterra Integral and Differential Equations

By: Ted A. Burton

Most mathematicians, engineers, and many other scientists are well-acquainted with theory and application of ordinary differential equations. This book seeks to present Volterra integral and functional differential equations in that same framwork, allowing the readers to parlay their knowledge of ordinary differential equations into theory and application of the more general problems. Thus, the presentation starts slowly with very familiar concepts and shows how these are generalized in a natural way to problems involving a memory. Liapunov's direct method is gently introduced and applied to many particular examples in ordinary differential equations, Volterra integro-differential equations, and functional differential equations. By Chapter 7 the momentum has built until we are looking at problems on the frontier. Chapter 7 is entirely new, dealing with fundamental problems of the resolvent, Floquet theory, and total stability. Chapter 8 presents a solid foundation for the theory of functional differential equations. Many recent results on stability and periodic solutions of functional differential equations are given and unsolved problems are stated. - Smooth transition from ordinary differential equations to integral and functional differential equations - Unification of the theories, methods, and applications of ordinary and functional differential equations - Large collection of examples of Liapunov functions - Description of the history of stability theory leading up to unsolved problems - Applications of the resolvent to stability and periodic problems
