Mauvais air

By: William Daniels,Michèle Barzach,Awa-Marie Coll-Seck,Michel Kazatchkine

La malaria, appelée paludisme dans la plupart des pays francophones, tient son nom de l'Italien et signifie " mauvais air ". Pendant longtemps les Romains pensaient que cette fièvre était causée par l'air nauséabond respiré dans les marais. En réalité, c'est la piqûre d'un moustique, appelé anophèle, pullulant dans ces marais, qui transmet le parasite responsable de la maladie. Devenue l'un des pires fléaux contemporains, elle est responsable de 1 à 3 millions de morts par an dont 80 % en Afrique subsaharienne. Toujours avec un profond souci esthétique, William Daniels photographie cette terrible pandémie qui frappe les plus démunis d'Ouganda au Sierra Leone, du Burkina Faso à Calcutta. A travers ses clichés, il nous raconte les pluies abondantes annonciatrices de nouveaux cas de paludisme, les cliniques où sont soignés tant bien que mal femmes enceintes et enfants, les distributions de moustiquaires imprégnées d'insecticide... Et surtout le combat qu'il reste à mener contre cette maladie.

Victory Without Peace

The United States Navy in European Waters, 1919-1924

By: William N Still

Victory Without Peace concentrates on the U.S. Navy in European and Near Eastern waters during the post-World War I era. As participants in the Versailles peace negotiations, the Navy was charged with executing the naval terms of the Armistice as well as preserving stability and peace. U.S. warships were deploying into the Near East, Baltic, Adriatic, and Northern Europe, while simultaneously withdrawing its demobilized forces from European waters. This signifies the first time the U.S. Navy contributed to peacetime efforts, setting a precedent continues today. Conversely, Congressional appropriations handicapped this deployment by demobilization, general naval policy and postwar personnel, and operating funds reductions. Though reluctant to allocate postwar assets into seemingly unimportant European and Near Eastern waters, the Navy was pressured by the State Department and the American Relief Administration's leader, Herbert Hoover, to deploy necessary forces. Most of these were withdrawn by 1924 and the European Station assumed the traditional policy of showing the flag.

A Computational Theory of Writing Systems

A Computational Theory of Writing Systems

By: Richard William Sproat

This book develops a formal computational theory of writing systems. It offers specific proposals about the linguistic objects that are represented by orthographic elements; what levels of linguistic representation are involved and how they may differ across writing systems; and what formal constraints hold of the mapping relation between linguistic and orthographic elements. Based on the insights gained, Sproat then proposes a taxonomy of writing systems. The treatment of theoretical linguistic issues and their computational implementation is complemented with discussion of empirical psycholinguistic work on reading and its relevance for the computational model developed here. Throughout, the model is illustrated with a number of detailed case studies of writing systems around the world. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in a variety of fields, including theoretical and computational linguistics, the psycholinguistics of reading and writing, and speech technology.

Kiss the Boys Goodbye

How the United States Betrayed Its Own POWs in Vietnam

By: Monika Jensen-Stevenson,William Stevenson

The classic account of the abandonment of American POWs in Vietnam by the US government. For many Americans, the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan bring back painful memories of one issue in particular: American policy on the rescue of and negotiation for American prisoners. One current American POW of the Taliban, Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, stands as their symbol. Thousands of Vietnam veteran POW activists worry that Bergdahl will suffer the fate of so many of their POW/MIA comrades—abandonment once the US leaves that theater of war. Kiss the Boys Goodbye convincingly shows that a legacy of shame remains from America’s ill-fated involvement in Vietnam. Until US government policy on POW/MIAs changes, it remains one of the most crucial issues for any American soldier who fights for home and country, particularly when we are engaged with an enemy that doesn’t adhere to the international standards for the treatment of prisoners—or any American hostage—as the graphic video of Daniel Pearl’s decapitation on various Jihad websites bears out. In this explosive book, Monika Jensen-Stevenson and William Stevenson provide startling evidence that American troops were left in captivity in Indochina, victims of their government’s abuse of secrecy and power. The book not only delves into the world of official obstruction, missing files, censored testimony, and the pressures brought to bear on witnesses ready to tell the truth, but also reveals the trauma on patriotic families torn apart by a policy that, at first, seemed unbelievable to them. First published in 1990, Kiss the Boys Goodbye has become a classic on the subject. This new edition features an afterword, which fills in the news on the latest verifiable scandal produced by the Senate Select Committee on POWs. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history--books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

A Rocky Mountain Christmas

By: William W. Johnstone,J.A. Johnstone

USA Today bestselling author: The families Jensen and MacCallister reunite in a gripping tale of tragedy, survival, love, and maybe even a miracle . . . Three days before Christmas, Matt Jensen is traveling the Denver and Pacific railway when an avalanche slams down onto the train, trapping it in desolate Trout Creek Pass. But it wasn’t an act of nature that caused the accident; it was a gang of outlaws attempting to rescue their leader, who is being taken to Red Cliff to be hanged. As Smoke Jensen and Duff MacCallister frantically try to make their way to the scene, Matt struggles to save the survivors, among them a beautiful young woman with a dark past, a merchant seaman turned rancher, and a senator with his very ill young daughter. Starving under a bitter, driving snow in the brutal, unforgiving Rocky Mountains, and surrounded by armed and desperate outlaws, Matt still dreams of making it home for Christmas. But unless fate lends a hand, nobody will. “An exciting visit to the old west of gunfights and cattle drives.” —RT Book Reviews

Medical Benefit and the Human Lottery

Medical Benefit and the Human Lottery

An Egalitarian Approach to Patient Selection

By: Duff William Ramus Waring

Bioethicists, moral philosophers and social policy analysts have long debated about how we should decide who shall be saved with scarce, lifesaving resources when not all can be saved. It is often claimed that it is fairer to save younger persons and that age is an ethically relevant consideration in such tragic decisions. Medical benefit should be maximized and final selection should aim to minimize the contaminating influence of chance. These claims are challenged by Duff R. Waring in Medical Benefit and the Human Lottery, one of the few books that attempts a sustained defence of random patient selection. This book combines ethics and political philosophy in its novel and strict egalitarian approach to patient selection for transplantable organs. Waring addresses the question of whether we should choose between lives on the basis of fair chances or best outcomes. He argues that final selection criteria should be based on fair chances that equalize opportunity as opposed to best outcomes. His defence of "hardy" egalitarianism aims to show that random selection by lottery can affirm both a common humanity and the equal value of lives. The notion of patient selection by lottery has not fared well in bioethics and has been regarded by some as a moral affront. Waring argues that a human selection lottery may be neither as crude nor as ethically anomalous as some have supposed. Indeed, it can reflect a familiar conception of equality as a political and moral ideal. This conception abstracts from many undeniable differences between patients and claims that scarce resources should be allocated on the principled assumption that each of their lives is equally worth saving. The book is also notable for its critiques of some recent utilitarian notions of medical benefit which can have an age-biased impact on elderly patients. Waring then argues against the leading, contemporary age-based approaches to patient selection. He explores the way random selection by lottery can affirm his egalitarian ethos in cases where eligible transplant candidates have each passed a threshold level of prospective medical benefit that has been set by democratic deliberation. Taming chance with a human lottery is defended as the most lucid means of ensuring equal opportunity. In so doing, Waring argues that we give the principle of equal concern and respect a radical expression: above a noncomparative threshold of medical benefit, each candidate can have an equal claim to life.

Historical Dictionary of Woody Allen

By: William Brigham

Woody Allen has accomplished that which no American filmmaker in the modern era has or perhaps ever will: directing to date 49 films (47 full-length theatrical releases, 1 short film in an anthology, and 1 television film), writing 42 of those films (and co-writing the remaining 7) and acting in 29 of them. Collectively, these films have earned Allen 4 Oscars (1 for Best Director; 3 for Best Screenplay), as well as another 6 Academy Award nominations for Best Director, 13 for Best Screenplay and 1 for Best Actor. Actors, members of his film staff, and his producers have received 7 Oscars and another 20 nominations. All told, his films have garnered 132 awards and another 209 nominations from American and international bodies. Historical Dictionary of Woody Allen contains a chronology, an introduction, a filmography, an appendix, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 600 cross-referenced entries on the actors, actresses, cinematographers, editors, designers, and producers he’s worked with as well as his films and awards. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Woody Allen.

The Feather Keeper

By: William Blackmon

John Two-Feather and his two cousins, Samuel and Joseph King, are the grandsons of Navajo singer and medicine man John King. As boys growing up on the reservation in New Mexico, they listened to their grandfather’s heroic tales of the heroes of the Navajo or Diné. Their most favorite story of all was called “The Two Who Come to Their Father,” the story of the Navaho twin heroes known as the Feather Keepers. In the myth, the hero twins journeyed out to find their father, the Sun, so that he will give them the skills and weapons to protect their people. Overcoming many trials along the way, the twins find their father and convince him to give them the gifts to combat their enemies. Returning to their village as powerful warriors, the twins undertake the destruction of the monsters that plague their people. But what John and his cousins did not know as they listened to the childhood tales was that their grandfather, the existing Feather Keeper, was preparing them for their hero’s journey. Now, armed with the “gifts of ages,” the three work as part of a clandestine U.S. government program known as AGHIA. After a failed U.S. operation to capture terrorist Hussein Al Rahabi, the three Navajo cousins adventure into the war-torn wilds of Zabul, Afghanistan, to find Al Rahabi and stop his uncle’s powerful Taliban army from retaking the province and overrunning the tiny military outpost built there. In the process, the new Feather Keeper will be made.
