SUMMERS IN SUFFOLK: Six One-Act Plays: With the Bonus, SUMMER DREAMS, a Screenplay
Manufacturer: Telepoetics ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1929507038 Release Date: 2005-03-22 |
Book Description
Anchored by two failed attempts to escape the slavery side of the mysterious Dismal Swamp, Summers in Suffolk is six one act plays (and screenplay) that move 130 years beyond the failed attempts. Summers in Suffolk is without a doubt a unique, multi-layered, positive portrayal of African American life spun with the richly poetic language and lyrical images of the South. Throughout the six plays and screenplay of Summers in Suffolk, a reader is caught in author Sheri Bailey's exquisite writing skill, her ability to deliver depth in the simplest of conversations. It is a high honor for Telepoetics to publish these slavery to freedom plays and screenplay as Sheri Bailey's first book, especially in coincidence with the world premiere screening of Summer Dreams at the 2005 Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles.

The people (John van der Wiel c.s.) who put up the special Nobel Prize for anyone who succeeds in refuting the Petroff Defence, will probably also be prepared to offer some kind of award to whoever draws the fangs of the Marshall Attack, another annoying drawing weapon for Black in the 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 repertoire. It appears that there have been rumours buzzing on the Internet about such a refutation, but, as Van der Tak explains, Marshall addicts need not despair yet.
Mr. José Vilela draws attention to an unusual way for Black to meet the French Advance Variation, Jeroen Bosch reports on some interesting opening ideas he witnessed in the recent Copenhagen Tournament and A.C. van der Tak updates a few surveys from previous Yearbooks, all in 1.e4 territory (SI 9.9, RG 2.5 and KP 12.5).
One of the few 1.d4 contributions sees Alexander Morozevich coming to the rescue of his old favourite, the Chigorin Defence.

Great Book.......2004-07-06
Ekaterina's writing is very personal. It made me want to continue reading the book. I was a little disappointed when I reached the end, not because there were parts of the book that I didn't like, but because I wanted the book to keep going. I wanted to read more.
She is such a strong woman and has an amazing family. One part of her life is a situation that I'm currently going through. Reading how she handled it and bettered herself is an inspiration to me.
Why doesn't the US celebrate International Women's Day?

A Delightful Book full of warmth and love.......2003-06-05
Just so no one is mislead, there is NO mention of abortion in this book. Katia says only that she was very lucky that her parents and Sergei were supportive of her having Daria - nothing more, nothing less. Nor does Katia mislead anyone about her (and Sergei's) arrangements for the care of her/their daughter while they were away from home on tour for half the year (her parents moved to the U.S. with them so they could care for Daria while her parents worked (touring) - all children should be so lucky to have their grandparents with them rather than spending long hours in daycare - and Katia expresses her gratitude that that option was available and her desire to do the same for Daria's children one day just as her grandmother took care of her while her own parents were away).
In short, this is a delightful book that anyone with a mother or a child can enjoy and appreciate whether they are fans of skating or not. The wisdom Katia has gained from her grandmother and mother and passes on (along with her mom) to Daria is delightful and rings true across all cultures. This book also has some interesting glimpses into Russian/Soviet culture as it differs from our own.

Who Guards the Guardians and How: Democratic Civil-Military Relations
Manufacturer: University of Texas Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0292712782 |
Book Description
"This volume provides much-needed insights into the specific institutional requirements for democratic civilian control of the military. It combines in-depth scholarship with an empirical reach that stretches across several continents and the first world-third world divide. Its contributors represent an ensemble of civilians, soldiers, scholars, and practitioners, whose combined efforts should be of enormous interest to all those concerned with civil-military relations in the democratic world."
David Pion-Berlin, Professor of Political Science, University of California, Riverside
The continued spread of democracy into the twenty-first century has seen two-thirds of the almost two hundred independent countries of the world adopting this model. In these newer democracies, one of the biggest challenges has been to establish the proper balance between the civilian and military sectors. A fundamental question of power must be addressedwho guards the guardians and how?
In this volume of essays, contributors associated with the Center for Civil-Military Relations in Monterey, California, offer firsthand observations about civil-military relations in a broad range of regions including Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe. Despite diversity among the consolidating democracies of the world, their civil-military problems and solutions are similarsoldiers and statesmen must achieve a deeper understanding of one another, and be motivated to interact in a mutually beneficial way. The unifying theme of this collection is the creation and development of the institutions whereby democratically elected civilians achieve and exercise power over those who hold a monopoly on the use of force within a society, while ensuring that the state has sufficient and qualified armed forces to defend itself against internal and external aggressors. Although these essays address a wide variety of institutions and situations, they each stress a necessity for balance between democratic civilian control and military effectiveness.
