Stephen G. Hannaford - Market Domination!, The Imp act of Industry Consolidation on Competition, Inno vation, and Consumer Choice (2007).jpg

01 - USA - Stephen G. Hannaford - Market Domination, The Impact o...n on Competition, Innovation, and Consumer Choice 2007.jpg

An oligopoly (from the Greek, few sellers) is a market that is dominated by a few large and powerful players. As Steve Hannaford documents with numerous examples, virtually every industry today—from medical equipment to airlines, toy retailing to oil—is trending in this direction, in the greatest movement toward industry consolidation since the turn of the 20th century. Charting the course of this trend around the world, Hannaford examines the motivations behind consolidation resulting from mergers, acquisitions, buyouts, and alliances; how companies exert political pressure to their advantage; and how the actions of the most dominant players—such as Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, Viacom, Dell, ExxonMobil, Citigroup, and others—affect the choices we make at the supermarket, the drugs we are prescribed, and the movies we watch.

Everyone who reads the newspapers is aware of the dizzying pace of mergers, acquisitions, buyouts, and alliances, between big companies and small companies in every industry. Such deals, along with the growing social and political clout of the biggest companies, are critical issues for the economy and for our future as consumers.

Charting the course of this trend around the world, Hannaford examines the motivations behind consolidation into corporate empires, how companies exert political pressure to their advantage, and how the actions of the most dominant players, such as Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, Viacom, Dell, ExxonMobil, Citigroup, and others, affect the choices we have at the supermarket, the drugs we are prescribed, and the movies we watch. Considering the implications of industry concentration on competition, technological innovation, business management, strategy, consumer behavior, and politics, Hannaford paints a provocative, but ultimately balanced, picture of big business and its impact on society.

Bruce E. Johansen, Barry M. Pritzker - Encyclopedi a of American Indian History (4 volume) (2008).jpg

This new four-volume encyclopedia is the most comprehensive and up-to-date resource available on the history of Native Americans, providing a lively, authoritative survey ranging from human origins to present-day controversies. The story of America's original inhabitants, their descendents, and the settlers who came after is one of cooperation and conflict, promise and compromise, tragedy and endurance. It is an essential, troubling undercurrent of America's evolution running the length of the nation's history and the breadth of the continent (the names of over 1/2 of the states in the U.S. have Native American origins). And from continuing debates over the origins of Native Americans to recent issues such as reparations, the provenance of artifacts, and sports team mascots, it is a story that continues to be written. From the origins of Native American cultures, through the years of colonialism and expansion, to the present, "Encyclopedia of American Indian History" brings the story of Native Americans to life like no other previous reference on the subject.

Featuring the work of many of the field's foremost scholars, it explores this fundamental aspect of the American experience with extraordinary depth, breadth, and currency, carefully balancing the perspectives of both Native and non-Native Americans. "The Encyclopedia of American Indian History" spans the centuries with three thematically organized volumes (covering the period from precontact through European colonization; the years of American expansion and Indian removal; and the modern era of reservations, reforms, and sovereignty). Each volume includes entries on key events, places, people, and issues. The fourth volume is an alphabetically organized resource providing histories of Native American nations, as well as an extensive chronology, topic finder, bibliography, and glossary. For students, historians, or anyone interested in the Native American experience, "Encyclopedia of American Indian History" brings that experience to life in an unprecedented way.

Jeff T. Hay - Greenhaven Encyclopedia of The Vietn am War (2004).jpg

Grade 9 Up-Alphabetical entries provide easy access to information on numerous topics including major battles and missions; significant persons such as generals, antiwar activists, leaders, and ambassadors; policies and initiatives; weapons; incidents; and more. Most articles range from a paragraph to a page but a number of topics are examined in longer entries (e.g., "Ho Chi Minh," "Battle of Hue," "Richard Nixon," etc.). Cross-references guide readers to related topics, helping to place the war within its larger historical and global context. Headings for articles are in bold type and there are guide words at the top of each page. Type size is generous. Average-quality, captioned black-and-white photos and maps throughout the book add interest and enhance understanding. An appended chronology begins with the year 1887 when France formed the Indochinese Union and ends with 1993 when the U.S. resumed formal diplomatic relations with Vietnam. A four-page annotated list for further reading includes both print and Web resources. Finally, there is a comprehensive index to further ease access to information. Spencer Tucker's three-volume Encyclopedia of the Vietnam War (ABC-CLIO, 1998) includes more and longer entries with references at the end of each article. However, libraries will find the easy-to-use Greenhaven title a satisfactory alternative.

Stanley Sandler - World War II in the Pacific, An Encyclopedia (2001).jpg

Busy reference librarians know there is a renewed interest in World War II history these days. Even our popular culture is paying attention to the generation who came of age between the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941, and Japan's formal surrender aboard the battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945. Therefore, it is fitting to view this source, part of the publisher's Military History of the United States Series, as both historical and contemporary in nature--historical because it deals with our past and contemporary because it presents a subject that has freshly grabbed our national attention.

In his thought-provoking introduction, Sandler, who also edited Garland's The Korean War: An Encyclopedia (1995), makes the case that the war in the Pacific cannot be understood without examining the unique and often conflicting cultural perspectives brought to the conflict by the Americans and Japanese. He explains, for example, how Japanese military behavior was influenced heavily by adherence to the medieval code of Bushido. Likewise, he discusses the American military's use of weaponry such as napalm flamethrowers in terms of its members' racial attitude toward Asians. His overall aim is to provide comprehensive coverage of events in the Pacific from the late 1930s to the Japanese surrender. Included are articles on military campaigns, weaponry, diplomacy, politics, and the social effects of the war. The role of major figures in the war is discussed throughout the volume, but this is not primarily a biographical source.

A major strength of the encyclopedia is that the articles are not limited to battles, generals, and places. These are adequately covered (e.g., Burma Road; Coral Sea, Battle of; LeMay, Curtis; MacArthur, Douglas; Palau), but along with them we are presented with articles on topics as disparate as African American troops; Film treatment of the Pacific War; Journalistic coverage of the Pacific War; Psychological warfare; and Stereotypes, Japanese and American.

Entries end with further readings and see also references. The publishers omitted several features that are standard with this type of reference work. There is no general bibliography. The list of contributors gives names only, with no identifying information (e.g., professional affiliation, job title), which does not help the reader gauge the credibility of the work. Also omitted is a comprehensive listing of entries, either alphabetical or by theme. Fortunately, there is an exhaustive 40-page index, and this provides easy quick reference to information in the articles. The text is not supplemented by illustrations, but a separate section of several dozen black-and-white captioned photos has been inserted.

Two other recent reference titles focus on the Pacific theater: The Pacific War Encyclopedia (Facts On File, 1998) and the third volume of The New Grolier Encyclopedia of World War II (1995). World War II in the Pacific is more scholarly and will provide academic and larger public libraries with solid reference coverage of the war. RBB

Tony Wagner - The Global Achievement Gap, Why Even Our Best Schools Don't Teach the New Survival Ski lls Our Children Need--And What We Can Do About It (2008).jpg

01 - USA - Tony Wagner - The Global Achievement Gap, Why Even Our ...ls Our Children Need--And What We Can Do About It 2008.jpg

Despite the best efforts of educators, our nation’s schools are dangerously obsolete. Instead of teaching students to be critical thinkers and problem-solvers, we are asking them to memorize facts for multiple choice tests. This problem isn’t limited to low-income school districts: even our top schools aren’t teaching or testing the skills that matter most in the global knowledge economy. Our teens leave school equipped to work only in the kinds of jobs that are fast disappearing from the American economy. Meanwhile, young adults in India and China are competing with our students for the most sought-after careers around the world.
Education expert Tony Wagner has conducted scores of interviews with business leaders and observed hundreds of classes in some of the nation’s most highly regarded public schools. He discovered a profound disconnect between what potential employers are looking for in young people today (critical thinking skills, creativity, and effective communication) and what our schools are providing (passive learning environments and uninspired lesson plans that focus on test preparation and reward memorization).

He explains how every American can work to overhaul our education system, and he shows us examples of dramatically different schools that teach all students new skills. In addition, through interviews with college graduates and people who work with them, Wagner discovers how teachers, parents, and employers can motivate the “net” generation to excellence.

An education manifesto for the twenty-first century, The Global Achievement Gap is provocative and inspiring. It is essential reading for parents, educators, business leaders, policy-makers, and anyone interested in seeing our young people succeed as employees and citizens.

Gary R. Edgerton, Peter C. Rollins - Television Hi stories, Shaping Collective Memory in the Media Ag e (2001).jpg

01 - USA - Gary R. Edgerton, Peter C. Rollins - Television Histori...ories, Shaping Collective Memory in the Media Age 2001.jpg

From Ken Burns's documentaries to historical dramas such as Roots, from A&E's Biography series to CNN's coverage of such events as the fall of the Berlin Wall, television has become the primary source for historical information for tens of millions of Americans today. Why has television become such a respected authority? What falsehoods enter our collective memory as truths? How is one to know what is real and what is imagined - or ignored - by producers, directors, or writers? Gary Edgerton and Peter Rollins have collected a group of essays that answer these and many other questions. The contributors examine the full spectrum of historical genres, as well as institutions such as the History Channel and production histories of such series as The Jack Benny Show, which ran for fifteen years. The authors explore the tensions between popular history and professional history and the tendency of some academics to declare the past "off limits" to nonscholars. Several of them point to the tendency for television histories to embed current concerns and priorities within the past, as in such popular shows as Quantum Leap and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. The result is an insightful portrayal of the power television possesses to influence our culture.

Raymond Knapp - The American Musical and the Perfo rmance of Personal Identity (2009).jpg

Brainy [and] meticulous. . . . The bedrock idea in The American Musical and the Performance of Personal Identity is that the self is, on some level, a performance--and isn't a performance incomplete when there's no audience? Other people provide the receptivity and feedback that allow one to become a certain person, rather than another. Character is--to revert to that inspiring buzzword--collaboration. -- Celia Wren, American Theatre

The American Musical and the Performance of Personal Identity is an insightful contribution to current scholarship on musical theatre. It integrates theoretical approaches based in both musicology and audience reception, and applies these approaches across the media of film and theatre. In so doing, it offers a transferable, revealing methodology for similarly sophisticated analyses of the role of musical theatre in American culture. -- Diana Calderazzo, Theatre Journal

01 - USA - Linda Stein, Peter Lehu - Literary Research and the Am...ism and Naturalism Period, Strategies and Sources 2008.jpg

The American Realism and Naturalism literary period lasted from roughly 1861 to 1914. It was characterized by its response to the political, economic, and technological changes that transformed the nation during the Civil War and postbellum years. Some of the most well-known authors in American history wrote during this time, including Mark Twain, Henry James, Edith Wharton, Charles W. Chesnutt, and Upton Sinclair." "Literary Research and the American Realism and Naturalism Period: Strategies and Sources will help those interested in researching this era. Authors Linda L. Stein and Peter J. Lehu emphasize research methodology and outline the best practices for the research process, paying attention to the unique challenges inherent in conducting studies of national literature. Each chapter covers a different type of resource. The book offers a coherent account of how contemporary research skills and resources can complement one another in helping scholars effectively deal with typical challenges they encounter in their work.

Bruce Zagaris - International White Collar Crime, Cases and Materials (2010).jpg

Contemporary transnational criminals take advantage of globalization, trade liberalization, and emerging new technologies to commit a diverse range of crimes, and to move money, goods, services, and people instantaneously for purposes of pure economic gain and/or political violence. This book captures the importance of transnational business crime and international relations by examining the rise of international economic crime and recent strategies in the United States and abroad to combat it. The book is organized into three main sections. The first part discusses substantive crimes, particularly tax, money laundering, and counter-terrorism financial enforcement; transnational corruption; transnational organized crime; and export control and economic sanctions. The second part discusses procedural aspects of international white collar crime, namely extraterritorial jurisdiction, evidence gathering, extradition, and international prisoner transfer. The third part discusses the role of international organizations, including the United Nations, the World Bank Group, INTERPOL, and economic integration groups.

Rashid Khalidi - Sowing Crisis, The Cold War and A merican Dominance in the Middle East (2009).jpg

A lucid and provocative analysis of the legacy of the Cold War in the Middle East
During the 45 years of the Cold War, policymakers from the United States and the Soviet Union vied for primacy in the Middle East. Their motives, long held by historians to have had an ideological thrust, were, in fact, to gain control over access to oil and claim geographic and strategic advantage. In his new book, Rashid Khalidi, considered the foremost U.S. historian of the Middle East, makes the compelling case that the dynamics that played out during the Cold War continue to exert a profound influence even decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The pattern of superpower intervention during the Cold War deeply affected and exacerbated regional and civil wars throughout the Middle East, and the carefully calculated maneuvers fueled by the fierce competition between the United States and the USSR actually provoked breakdowns in fragile democracies. To understand the momentous events that have occurred in the region over the last two decades-including two Gulf wars, the occupation of Iraq, and the rise of terrorism-we must, Khalidi argues, understand the crucial interplay of Cold War powers there from 1945 to 1990.
Today, the legacy of the Cold War continues in American policies and approaches to the Middle East that have shifted from a deadly struggle against communism to a War on Terror, and from opposing the Evil Empire to targeting the Axis of Evil. The current U.S. deadlock with Iran and the upsurge of American-Russian tensions in the wake of the conflict in Georgia point to the continued centrality of the Middle East in American strategic attention. Today, with a new administration in Washington, understanding and managing the full impact of this dangerous legacy in order to move America toward a more constructive and peaceful engagement in this critical arena is of the utmost importance.

Ronald Radosh - Red Star Over Hollywood, The Film Colony's Long Romance with the Left (2005).jpg

Until now, Hollywood's political history has been dominated by a steady stream of films and memoirs decrying the "nightmare" of the Red Scare and how it victimized political innocents. But in RED STAR OVER HOLLYWOOD, Ronald and Allis Radosh tell for the first time the "backstory" behind this myth.
The authors show how the Soviet Comintern decided to make the film capitol a prime target in the late 1920s. They follow the lives of Budd Schulberg, Ring Lardner Jr., Maurice Rapf and other young radicals who went to the USSR in the early 1930s, underwent a political conversion experience there, and came back to Hollywood as apostles preaching a Soviet gospel. They take us inside the cells and discussion groups they and other Party members formed, the guilds and unions they tried to take over, and the studios they tried to influence.
The Radoshes not only prove that the members of the Hollywood Party were loyal first and foremost to Joseph Stalin, but show that in fact many of the screenwriters who later became part of the Hollywood Ten succeeded in using films as a propaganda medium in behalf of Soviet cause. One of their most significant successes was the wartime blockbuster Mission To Moscow, whose inside story the authors document in fascinating detail. The Radoshes' are at their best when writing about the blacklist era. They take us inside the Hollywood Communists' strategy sessions as they prepared to testify in front of the House Committee on Un-American Activities and show that while others were lionizing them as blameless victims of American nativism and paranoia, the Hollywood Reds themselves were beset by doubts and disagreements about their disloyalty to America and their treatment by the Communist Party. Creating memorable portraits of Dalton Trumbo, Elia Kazan and John Garfield, the authors also trace the afterlives of those touched by HUAC and the blacklist and show how they continued their argument with America and each other over the next half century. RED STAR OVER HOLLYWOOD is an epic work about one of the most discussed and least understood episodes in our political life. Getting behind the denial and apologetics, the Radoshes tell a story whose long half-life continues. The men and women who agitated for communism a half-century ago created a living legacy used by Jane Fonda and others who revived the Hollywood Left in the 1960s, and by figures such as Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins and Sean Penn in the equally turbulent filmland politics of today.

Angela Browne-Miller - The Praeger International C ollection on Addictions [4 volumes] (2009).jpg

Only the very rare among us are completely unscathed by the effects of addiction - our own, that of a family member, friend, or coworker. Even the addictions of strangers - from the drunk driver or drug addict, to gambling, food, spending, or violence-addicted people - may subject us to dangers, threaten our well-being, and drain money from our pockets. Recent national estimates in just the US show that substance abuse and addiction alone cost taxpayers a total of nearly $500 billion a year. In these volumes, experts from around the world present the newest issues, research, and insights into addictions of all kinds. Led by Angela Browne-Miller, Director of the Metaxis Compulsive and Habitual Behaviors Institute in California, this team of contributors includes scholars and practitioners from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Thailand, Africa, and Russia. Topics range from drug addiction among male, female, teen, and aging populations, and among White, Hispanic, Black, Asian, Native American, and other groups, using liquor, cocaine, methamphetamine, khat, and/or other lesser known drugs, to behavioral addictions including online gaming, excessive buying, and eating disorders. Chapters also address issues including addiction as a public health problem and the politics of drug treatment policies.

Treatment methods for addictions, from electrotherapy to holistic approaches are addressed, as are spiritual, psychological, and cross-cultural issues involved. The experts behind these chapters include those from the University of California, Berkeley, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and Purdue University, to McGill University, Nottingham Trent University, and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences.

I. William Zartman - Understanding Life in the Bor derlands, Boundaries in Depth and in Motion (2010).jpg

The past two decades have seen an intense, interdisciplinary interest in the border areas between states–inhabited territories located on the margins of a power center or between power centers. This timely and highly original collection of essays edited by noted scholar I. William Zartman is an attempt “to begin to understand both these areas and the interactions that occur within and across them”–that is, to understand how borders affect the groups living along them and the nature of the land and people abutting on and divided by boundaries.
These essays highlight three defining features of border areas: borderlanders constitute an experiential and culturally identifiable unit; borderlands are characterized by constant movement (in time, space, and activity); and in their mobility, borderlands always prepare for the next move at the same time as they respond to the last one. The ten case studies presented range over four millennia and provide windows for observing the dynamics of life in borderlands. They also have policy relevance, especially in creating an awareness of borderlands as dynamic social spheres and of the need to anticipate the changes that given policies will engender–changes that will in turn require their own solutions. Contrary to what one would expect in this age of globalization, says Zartman, borderlands maintain their own dynamics and identities and indeed spread beyond the fringes of the border and reach deep into the hinterland itself.
