Misleading Info about audio cassettes.......2001-05-20

I ordered the book after all the research. Editorial notes had misleading information about audio cassettes included. No cassettes are included. What is the point of buying this book without audio. It is meaningless.

Book Description

Despite the existence of a wide range of human rights instruments and procedures, human rights violations still abound. The authors of this book address this so-called human rights deficit, and the possible responses to it, from various disciplinary angles and mostly in the context of development. They explore the reasons for the continuation of economic, social and/or political exclusion and human rights violations at large. They also present keys for redressing the human rights deficit. The role of law, and questions of universality, inclusion and exclusion are central themes in this book. The need to take up civil and political rights and economic social and cultural rights on equal footing is recognized by several of the authors, and so is that of bridging the public-private divide. Specific contributions address among others the importance of human rights training and education, the role of NGO's in a globalizing world, minorities, gender and women's rights! , accountability of multinational corporations, and the problem of human trafficking.

Book Description

In this major reevaluation of Isaac Newton's intellectual life, Betty Jo Teeter Dobbs shows how his pioneering work in mathematics, physics, and cosmology was intertwined with his study of alchemy. Professor Dobbs argues that to Newton those several intellectual pursuits were all ways of approaching Truth, and that Newton's primary goal was not the study of nature for its own sake but rather an attempt to establish a unified system that would have included both natural and divine principles. She also argues that Newton's methodology was much broader than modern scholars have previously supposed, and she traces the evolution of his thought on the intertwined problems of the microcosmic "vegetable spirit" of alchemy and the "cause" of the cosmic principle of gravitation.

Book Description

A comprehensive and unique account of the creation of artificially ionized layers in the middle and upper atmosphere, using powerful radio waves. Major physical mechanisms associated with the formation of the ionized region are studied in detail. The main part of the author's research is devoted to problems associated with the breakdown mechanisms for radio frequency discharges in air. A special chapter deals with breakdown in intersecting pulsed beams and the effects of recombination, diffusion and atmospheric winds on the stability of the structure. The kinetics of the plasma produced are also described. The authors examine possibilities of inducing changes in the chemical composition of the upper atmosphere by means of radio frequence heating, with promising effects on the concentration of constituents such as ozone. The feasibility of using this phenomenon for; ozone healing - in connection with the ozone holes in the polar regions is investigated. The text is a timely treatment of key topics in the field of ionospheric modification.

Book Description

Just weeks before a presidential election in which Iraq is the hottest issue, one of America's sharpest foreign affairs commentators lays out how the Bush team marched with eyes wide shut into a quagmire. In her Worldview column for The Philadelphia Inquirer, Trudy Rubin predicted what would happen, warned about the mistakes on the ground, advised what should be done, and pointed out who made the mistakes.

This collection of Rubin's columns from July 2002 - June 2004, with additional material, vividly portrays how the administration misconceived the Iraq war and mishandled the postwar. The book draws on her three lengthy trips to Iraq since the fall of Baghdad, and her close contacts with members of the new Iraqi government, Iraqi clerics, and a broad range of ordinary Iraqis. Rubin is one of the few foreign policy commentators who knows this story from both the Iraqi and American angles.

Now, as the situation worsens daily, and Washington belatedly tries to adopt many of the strategies she advocated from the start of the occupation, Trudy Rubin, with a sharp eye and penetrating insight looks at what must be done to prevent Iraq from deteriorating into a terrorist haven and to enable the United States to draw down its troops.

At a critical time when Americans need to make an informed decision about their country's political future and its role in Iraq, Trudy Rubin in Willful Blindness simplifies a complex story in a way that lets the readers understand what is really going on behind the headlines.

Trudy actually makes a living writing? .......2006-07-11

In reading this book....it didn't take long to discover that Trudy's irrational hatred of Bush and his Administration has caused her to go "willfully blind" towards the facts. After seeing that she is a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, I also checked out a few of her articles there. Conclusion: Trudy is an irredeemably liberal fruitcake, whose worldview does not put a premimium on the truth and wouldn't know what a fact was if it bit her in the behind.

I would encourage everyone that has time to waste to read this book...If you can't see through this nonsense, I would seriously suggest that you seek professional help. On a positive note....the book is still selling for about $2.00 on Amazon....simpy AMAZING...since it lacks the value of a wooden nickel. I think you get the point...

Typical liberal bias.......2005-10-03

Trudy Rubin is a Philadelphia columnist and incorrigible far-leftwinger, who has railed against the Bush administration from day one with a single-mindedness amounting to monomania. Her willful hatred of Republicans, especially Bush, is made clear by her book cover, on which she defaces the president's image, symbolically decapitating him. She and other lefties are so blinded by their partisan rage that they resort to these kinds of immature temper tantrums; it's not enough to criticize Bush, let's deface his photograph! Other examples of this silliness are evident on books by Jim Hightower (Bush defaced to look like devil) and Paul Krugman (Bush defaced to look like Frankenstein's monster).
This book is unserious and pure partisan junk. If you despise Bush, conservatives, and Israel, you will love Trudy Rubin and her predictably fanatical rants. Look for thoughtful analysis elsewhere.

A Must-Read to Understand What's Happening in Iraq.......2004-11-24

Trudy Rubin's riveting insights into the how's, why's, and when's of the misguided and lethal war in Iraq. It should be a companion piece to Seymour Hersh's "Chain of Command" in the home of any informed citizen. Written with the swift clarity of excellent journalism.

A Book Every American Should Read!.......2004-10-06

This is the book for all of us looking for a clear explanation of what is really happening in Iraq, why it is happening, and what can be done about it. Journalist Trudy Rubin succinctly describes how the Bush administration's illusions got the US into this occupation, why there is an anti-American insurgency, and why reconstruction of Iraq is going so badly. "Willful Blindness" is a commentary on the Bush administration, but it is also a useful guide for every American no matter how the election goes in November.

She's Been There.......2004-10-04

Basing her information on interviews with individuals throughout the Middle East, Trudy Rubin is not an armchair pundit. In addition to her most intelligent analysis, there is a sense of danger, as a reader follows her boldly foraging in Iraq. Her knowledge of the people and places in the Middle East imbue her writing with solid, factual common sense. Both candidates would do well to read through this book.

Double Standard.......2001-11-14

Tudjman is the president of the Republic of Croatia and a former dissident of the communist regime that ruled Yugoslavia. In this book he sets out to debunk the former communist propaganda that would assert that Croatia's war crimes would delegitimize it as an independent country.

This book is about World War 2, and not about philosophy, as the title could be mislead someone into believing. Most of the book's 500 pages is about war crimes and anti-fascism in Yugoslavia during World War 2. Tudjman's main points are that Croatia did not do worse than others (in his opinion) and that its anti-fascist movement was one of the strongest one. All this goes contrary to the established ideas that came from the post-war communist propaganda, as Tudjman explains, and used to make of him a political dissident.

I am in no way well read about the subject of Yugoslavia during Word War 2 and the crimes of the Ustasha regime, and having not read a detailed book arguing for the "authorized" version, I can't say whether Tudjman is right, even though he seems convincing. My main critic is his double standard about historical revisionism. For Mr. Tudjman entirely follows the "authorized" version of the war and post-war propaganda of demonizing the Germans so to clean the many war crimes of the Allies. Even a Jewish professor like Alfred Lindemann (in his book Esau's Tears) never lowers himself to the cheap propaganda of Hitler's regime "diabolical", but on the contrary gives quite a different image. Now I expect Tudjman to have known that the Nuremberg Trial was a farce, that its regulations required no proof, that the movie about Dachau gazing's chamber was produced by the CIA, that the many Jewish witness about gazing were proven false when it turned out there were no gas chambers in camps in Western Germany, that Gerstein was tortured, etc. This was all well known before the first edition of the book in 1989. And then after the Glasnot, the research access was granted to Auschwitz, where people could see that the famous, gas chamber was a fake built after the war by the Russian and the Russians opened up their archives : from the countless photographs of Auschwitz there is no trace of a gazing building ; and three independent sources showed that there had been only 74 000 dead at Auschwitz (the Auschwitz holocaust museum replaced the plate showing up the numbers of 4 millions, revising it with a plate showing 1,5 millions, still much higher than 74 000.) And there are so many more myths concerning World War 2 and the Third Reich. My point is that I can't find Tudjman very credible as a revisionist historian, when he applies this double standard of allowing revisionism for Croatia, but not for the rest, where he sticks to political correctness and even of low-level bashing. Probably this is politically motivated, as after the opening of Auschwitz and of the Russian archives to researchers , and the discovery that the major World War 2 myths could be so easily disproved by hard evidence, the governments of Western continental Europe were pressurized by a certain lobby to hastily pass laws forbidding free speech and fee research in these areas. With the translation of Tudjman's book in German (1993) and in English (1996), Tudjman chooses the easy way of not infringing Western Europe's laws censoring free history, nor enraging the powerful US lobby that might have be offended. But then his books looks mainly like a piece of propaganda aimed at justifying the existence of Croatia in a way that is as pleasing as possible to the Western establishment, and this raises serious doubts about his objectivity. I would have preferred him to either follow entirely the line of free history and revisionism or the line of political correctness, but not the dubious path he followed for this apology of Croatia.

Hmmmm...........2000-06-03

With Milosevic defending himself in the Hague for years, literally, one wonders what a Franjo Tudjman trial would have been like.

Perhaps he would have cited this book, which reads like a prescient defense of himself in court for his own war crimes, though this never happened as Franjo checked out in 1999, while Slobo was still in power.

What he is explores is of merit though. It's mostly history, not as much philosophy, on WWII, Croatian atrocities, demonizatoin and propaganda, and the attempt to recognize the horrors on all sides. And his policies would seem to follow right along. Too bad Milosevic didn't pen his own academic ode to the horrors of war, but he doesn't seem to need it.

Interesting document from the late Croatian figure who led his country to independence, and got some pretty clean hands and some US help. And good PR. And good timing. He died before all sides could finally come to the table and admit that, yes, we committed some horrendous atrocities. That some of Franjo's cronies are flying to the Hague shows the luster is fading a bit.

Interesting and worth to read.......1999-07-07

Of course, Tudjman writes from a very Croat perspective. But this doesn't make his book less worthwile for study and reading. For any people interested into backgrounds of recent events in former Yugoslovia it contains a lot of very interesting insights and documentation. This not only, because Tudjman reveals the secretly holden (official) statistics of victims during the time of occupation of Yugoslavia during Nazi times and the parallel ongoing inter-Yugoslav civil war. Debunking mythological inflated numbers never gains friends of interested parties. The fact, Croats made up the relative majority of members within the partizans, the Bosniaks relatively to their population might take some people by surprise. Foremost them, who believe into the myth the Serbs had been the strongest force. Tudjman, who had finished World War 2 as captain with the communist partizan forces and later was promoted to general's rank within Tito's People's Army, gained a lot of insight during his time for being director of the institute of history of Worker's Movement in Zagreb. So he had access to documents, not accessible to other historians, not to say non-communist one. His past as a learned Marxist-Leninist historian he can not deny, too, as a reader might find out in some chapters. In his book he gives also a lot of insight into the working and mechanism for silencing unwanted revelations within the communist nomenclatura in communist Yugoslavia. His antagonism against the (Greater) Serb run central bureaucracy in Belgrade is one of the focal point in this book and never veiled. The quotations and comments have a lot of topic actuality. Reading this book, together with Milovan Djilas' Wartime and New Class, might give the interested reader far from the propaganda since ten years a valuable background why the Yugoslav system was doomed to fail.

A Alternative analysis of Histoy.......1999-06-22

This book while boring is an exhaustive review of 20th century history. He has done an exhaustive research on the facts of the issues he covers and offers an insightful perspective. When you remember that he experienced what he was writing about. For this author, the histoty he writes about is the history he lived through. He chalenges many of the pre-concieved notion of the so-caled experts of the Balkans. He offers proof to back his opinion. It is interesting to note that all attacks on this book are not on the facts he presents but the conclusions he makes of them. But when you read the facts he presents, one can't argue with his conclusions. Those that due argue against him never present facts to back their arguments. He has done a masterfull analysis of the reality and philosophy of war.

Truth hurts.......1999-05-06

This is a work of historiosphical musings on evils embedded in what is the matrix of the Western civilization. The leftist-liberal veil is rent and all the horror of the Greater Serbia project ( which was tacitly approved by Western leftist "intelligentsia" ): gross distortions of historical events ( the Jasenovac megahoax ), plus conspiracy of silence hiding the dimensions of Croat victimology ( any new edition must incorporate and expand on that issue )-all this is exposed glaringly in ex-Yu wars culminating now in the Kosovo massacres. A few reviewers have noticed that the book presents a major revision of history. They're right. A brainwashing they've been submitted to ( and, I suspect, grew fond of) has matured for the revision. Just like the reality has undergone a drastic "revision" with the collapse of communism and the exposition of red genocides.

Asimov's writing is thorough, educational, captivating!.......2004-09-08

It's been about two years since taking Anatomy & Physiology, and this book served as a nice review of the human body's systems & functions. Isaac Asimov communicates so well, so clearly through-out this book, describing processes in a language that the reader can't help but understand. The author's expansive knowledge (genius, really) brings a context to each topic-- or several contexts-- such as comparative anatomy, the evolutionary context, disease -- Asimov speaks eloquently from all these perspectives, and his complete picture of the human body is awe-inspiring. I am now about to pick up his companion book, The Human Brain: Its Capacities & Functions.

An excellent guide to Marine Life.......2004-09-09

There are many reason why people take up scuba diving and those who do come from all countries and all social backgrounds. Having taken up the sport, there are those decide to specialise in; Teaching, shipwrecks, cave diving, photography, video, technical diving and so forth. In fact, there is no other sport on earth which offers such a diversity of different interests within that single activity.

Having learned to dive and having leaned towards a specific aspect, however, there is one single interest which continues to bind all divers together. That interest is the marine life which divers encounter wherever they go.

Neither sky divers, pot-holers nor mountaineers get as close to a whole new range of creatures as scuba divers do - on each and every dive. Those creatures may be static (fixed) and yet still classed as animal, they may be free swimming, shy, hard to find or easy to pick up. And, if those creatures are found in the North Atlantic between Canada and New England, they are also found in this book.

Marine Life of the North Atlantic is a paper-back book measuring 9" x 6" (23cm x 15cm) containing 272 pages of solid information on marine life from Algae to the Spiny Lumpsucker fish. Each species is portrayed by colour photography (often more than once) with details of it's Latin name, common name, identification (description) habitat, range and comments. Alongside each photo is also space for the owner of the book to note down each personal sighting and add notes etc.

In short, if ever you are diving in the area covered by this book and are interested in what you may see underwater, then this book is an essential addition to your kit bag and is one which will allow you to note each sighting as your diving progresses.

Please note, the pages of this book are not waterproof and easily stick together when damp. Otherwise, an excellent product.

Useful field guide to marine life of the region.......2000-05-04

I bought this book during a trip to the Gulf of Maine, and found it to be an extremely useful guide to the invertebrates, vertebrates, and algae of the NE coast of North America.

Photos in the field guide are composed well and show detail needed to figure out what you are looking at. Each photo in the book is accompanied by a brief summary of identifying characteristics of the organism itself, a description of habitats where they are likely to be seen, the geographic range for the organism, and brief comments that will help you look in the right kinds of places to see things.

Though not a comprehensive guide to marine life of the region, this book provides a great introduction to marine biota. The author even provides room in the book for you to write down where and when you saw each entry. There is also room for brief comments.

I highly recommend this book, especially if you are planning a trip to New England or the Maritime Provinces.

Good stuff!
