""American Ascendance and British Retreat in the Persian Gulf Region" is a well-written and -researched account of Anglo-American policy in the Persian Gulf from the end of the Second World War until the British withdrawal from east of Suez. It is a tale of personalities and administrations engaged in confrontation as well as cooperation, spun against the backdrop of an ever-more strategically important region plagued by both age-old and newer post-colonial quarrels."--Michael A. Palmer, author of "Guardians of the Gulf""" "This comprehensive and well-written book illuminates current issues without falling into the trap of present-mindedness, and it fills an important gap in the literature. Drawing on extensive archival sources and demonstrating a firm command of the secondary literature, Fain provides a clear account of policy-making in both the United States and Great Britain. His deep knowledge of both nations' policies enables him to present a nuanced account of the differences as well as the similarities in US and British policies toward the region."
--David S. Painter, Associate Professor of History, Georgetown University
This is a critical examination of the origins of American diplomacy in the greater Persian Gulf region. Through its coverage of the history of American diplomacy in the Persian Gulf, the book gives valuable context to our current foreign policy entanglements. And yet, as the reviewer points out, Fain illuminates current issues without falling into the trap of present-mindedness.There are few books that give a comprehensive and accessible account of America's diplomatic involvement in the Gulf. There are none that simultaneously give such a rich exploration of Britain's waning role.This book critically examines the origins of American diplomacy in the greater Persian Gulf region, arguing that it was the inability of the United States to contend effectively with the disintegration of British imperial authority in the Gulf that eventually led it to assume its current role in the region.

Glyn Davies - A History of Money, From Ancient Tim es to Present Day (2003).jpg

First published in hardback in 1994 and selected by the American Library Association as an Outstanding Academic Book, the revised and updated paperback edition includes the Barings crisis and the report by the Bank of England on Barings Bank; up-to-date information on the state of Japanese banking; changes in the financial scene in the United States; the UK housing market and the problem of negative equity. The paradox of why more coins than ever before are required in an increasingly cashless society is clearly explained, as is the role of the new Euro coin as the lowest common denominator in Europe's controversial single-currency system. The final section provides evidence to suggest that for most of the world's richer countries, the era of persistent inflation may well be at an end. This new edition is updated and takes account of important recent developments such as the independence of the Bank of England, the introduction of Euro notes and coins from January 1 2002, and developments in electronic money.

Dorothy Mays - Women in Early Americam Struggle, S urvival, and Freedom in a New World (2004).jpg

Grade 8 Up–Mays greatly expands the scope of Carol Berkin's First Generations: Women in Colonial America (Farrar, 1996) with this alphabetically arranged encyclopedia. Combining articles on several dozen individual women with both general ("Cooking," "Sport and Leisure") and more specific ("Widowhood," "Islamic Women," "Marriage and Family among Enslaved Women") topical studies, she draws heavily from both primary sources and modern scholarship to present clear overviews of the diversity, as well as the commonalities, of both immigrant and native women's experience between 1607 and the outbreak of the War of 1812. She enhances many narratives with boxed (and sourced) asides, and an occasional dark but usually relevant black-and-white illustration. Along with a documentary appendix, the author closes with an extensive annotated bibliography, plus some Web sites, to back up the bibliographies that close nearly every article. With entries linked by an analytical index, many "see" references, and topical and alphabetic tables of contents, this resource offers large doses of easily accessible, hard-to-find-elsewhere information. Collections of any size serving students of our country's past will find it a popular and worthwhile addition.

James True - Conservative Christians and Political Participation, A Reference Handbook (2004).jpg

A timely exploration of the political history, growth, and impact of one of the most powerful religious groups in America. Internet pornography. School prayer. Gay days at Walt Disney World. The War on Iraq. These are among the hot-button issues for the burgeoning coalition of Conservative Christians in America-a group so influential that many believe the fortunes of the Republican and Democratic parties rest on their political views. How have they coalesced into such a formidable force? Conservative Christians and Political Participation examines the involvement and influence of the growing number of Conservative Christians in America. A historical overview of the interaction of religion and politics from colonial times to today sets the stage for a deeper exploration into the demographics of this group, the concerns they share, and the creative methods they employ to achieve their goals through protests, political activity, leadership, and group organization. Case studies tackle highly emotional issues like same-sex marriage, decency in the mass media, school prayer, euthanasia, and American foreign policy toward Israel.

David J Weber - Spanish Bourbons and Wild Indians (2004).jpg

These essays chronicle the Spanish Empire's "enlightened" policies toward the Indians of the Americas in the late eighteenth century. In "Spaniards and Their Savages in the Age of Enlightenment," Weber begins by noting that Indians independently controlled most of the area that Spain claimed to own toward the end of the colonial era. Spaniards, acutely aware that they lived in the Age of Reason and not the Age of Conquest, came to accommodations with some of these "savages" or "wild Indians," whom they could neither defeat nor convert. In the second essay, "How did Spaniards Convert Indians? Missions in the Age of Reason," Weber focuses on the Spanish missionary enterprise. Weber demonstrates that Spain's idea of an ideal mission changed between the Habsburg and Bourbon eras and, more importantly, local circumstances and local people, including Indians, determined how a mission would measure up to the Crown's ideal.

Sucheng Chan - Chinese American Transnationalism, The Flow of People, Resources, and Ideas between C hina and America During the Exclusion Era (2005).jpg

01 - USA - Sucheng Chan - Chinese American Transnationalism, The F...etween China and America During the Exclusion Era 2005.jpg

Chinese American Transnationalism considers the many ways in which Chinese living in the United States during the exclusion era maintained ties with China through a constant interchange of people and economic resources, as well as political and cultural ideas. This book continues the exploration of the exclusion era begun in two previous volumes: Entry Denied, which examines the strategies that Chinese Americans used to protest, undermine, and circumvent the exclusion laws; and Claiming America, which traces the development of Chinese American ethnic identities. Taken together, the three volumes underscore the complexities of the Chinese immigrant experience and the ways in which its contexts changed over the sixty-one year period.

Tara Koellhoffer - Junior Drug Awareness, Inhalant s and Solvents (2008).jpg

Although inhalants and solvents aren't as widely covered by the media as other drugs, studies estimate that up to 25 percent of teens in the United States have tried them. In fact, an inhalant is sometimes the first drug young people try, and sniffing inhalants and solvents is so popular that only marijuana and alcohol are now used by more teens in the United States. Despite these facts, few young people believe inhaling these household substances for the drug-like effects is actually dangerous to their health. "Inhalants and Solvents" examines the many household products - approximately 1,400 of them in all - that can be abused as drugs and explains the damage they can do to the brain and body.

Robert S. McElvaine - Encyclopedia of the Great De pression. 2 Vol. Set (2003).jpg

Grade 9 Up–This comprehensive, accessible set will serve as a useful supplement for research. Myriad aspects of the crisis are covered in almost 550 alphabetically arranged, cross-referenced articles written by hundreds of international scholars. About 200 of the articles are biographies. Topics are easily located via a practical outline in volume one listing entries under categories such as "Agriculture," "Intellectual Trends and Developments," "International Situation," "New Deal," and "Women and Gender." Article length varies, with most being a page or slightly longer; FDR's entry is 10 times that. Large black-and-white archival photographs, several by Dorothea Lange, are judiciously placed throughout. More straightforward and drier than James Ciment's Encyclopedia of the Great Depression and the New Deal (Sharpe Reference, 2001), which features primary-source documents, and without as much intrinsic appeal as Depression America (Grolier, 2001), this is nonetheless a worthy resource.
