Anne Valk, Leslie Brown - Living with Jim Crow; Af rican American Women and Memories of the Segregate d South (2010).jpg

01 - USA - Anne Valk, Leslie Brown - Living with Jim Crow African...erican Women and Memories of the Segregated South 2010.jpg

This groundbreaking book collects black women’s personal recollections of their public and private lives during the period of legal segregation in the American South. Using first-person narratives, collected through oral history interviews, the book emphasizes women’s role in their families and communities, treating women as important actors in the economic, social, cultural, and political life of the segregated South. By focusing on the commonalities of women’s experiences, as well as the ways that women’s lives differed from the experiences of southern black men, Living with Jim Crow analyzes the interlocking forces of racism and sexism.

Ethan Wolff - Frommer's Irreverent Guide to Manhat tan (2004).jpg

Frommer's Irreverent Guide to Manhattan is as brash and ballsy as the Big Apple itself. You'll get the straight scoop on old chestnuts like the Empire State Building, as well as the skinny on new hotspots such as the sleek "neo-lounges" on the Lower East Side. With the Irreverent Guide, you'll become as mobile as the locals: a dim sum brunch in a bustling Chinatown banquet hall is just a subway ride away from a soul-food dinner in Harlem. Discover one of the city's secret bargains: the free ride on the Staten Island Ferry past the Statue of Liberty. In the Irreverent Guide to Manhattan, the gloriously decadent City that Never Sleeps is made both manageable and deliciously fun—whether you choose to pursue the high life at the model hangouts and caviar bars or get down with the low life at Punjabi tandoor delis and cheesy karaoke bars.

David Irving - The War Between the Generals; Insid e the Allied High Command (2003).jpg

This book is a very good peek behind the Allied military commanders in WW2. Author Irving shows the friction that existed among the British, French and US Generals, President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill. As Churchill once said "the only thing worse than fighting with allies is fighting without them". Indeed.

Given the different national interests during and post war, it is inevitable that disagreement arose during the conduct of the war. This book examines those differences in a very accessible, easy manner. Although the author is English, I found him to be very honest about the strengths and weaknesses of both American and English sides. The US and British both certainly agreed about the French and DeGaulle. Four stars - it seemed to include too much gossip about which general was sleeping with whom.

Irving pretty much sums up the current outlook on the Allied Leaders - they got the job done. It wasn't easy, perhaps it could have been done better and they tried to do the best possible job showing that there were no serious disagreements, all was harmonious, no finger pointing. Everyone swallowed their pride and bit their tongues at different points. Perhaps there is no overall hero, but then, aside from the Nazis, there was no overall villain either. I highly recommend this book for serious students of WW2 Western Front. This is more of a character study than one of tactics or weapons, so it helps to understand those before delving into this book. A good loaner from the library or a friend.

James R. Moore - The Post-Darwinian Controversies; A Study of the Protestant Struggle to Come to Ter ms with Darwin in Great Britain and America, 1870- 1900 (1981).jpg

01 - USA - James R. Moore - The Post-Darwinian Controversies A Stu...th Darwin in Great Britain and America, 1870-1900 1981.jpg

The Post-Darwinian Controversies offers an original interpretation of Protestant responses to Darwin after 1870, viewing them in a transatlantic perspective and as a constitutive part of the history of post-Darwinian evolutionary thought. The impact of evolutionary theory on the religious consciousness of the nineteenth century has commonly been seen in terms of a 'conflict' or 'warfare' between science and theology. Dr. Moore's account begins by discussing the polemical origins and baneful effects of the 'military metaphor', and this leads to a revised view of the controversies based on an analysis of the underlying intellectual struggle to come to terms with Darwin. The middle section of the book distinguishes the 'Darwinism' of Darwin himself amid the main currents of post-Darwinian evolutionary thought, and is followed by chapters which examine the responses to Darwin of twenty-eight Christian controversialists, tracing the philosophical and theological lineage of their views. The paradox that emerges - that Darwin's theory was accepted in substance only by those whose theology was distinctly orthodox theology and of other evolutionary theories with liberal and romantic theological speculation.

Michael J. Brenner - Nuclear Power and Non-Prolife ration; The Remaking of U.S. Policy (2009).jpg

In this volume, Professor Brenner recounts how the United States dealt with the problem of nuclear proliferation in the period from 1974 to 1981 when this book was first published. The year 1974 is critical because of three highly coincidental events: India's explosion of a bomb; an upsurge in the demand for nuclear energy triggered by the oil crisis; and the commercialisation of fuel-producing technologies that could be used for weapons purposes. Nuclear Power and Non-Proliferation is at once a narrative account of how nuclear policy was made at the highest levels of the American government and a critical assessment of those policies. Professor Brenner places the chronicle of how policy is shaped within the context of interagency and legislative politics, as well as within the larger context of international conflicts concerning access to and control of nuclear power. The author locates the proliferation problem historically, emphasising the dual personality of atomic power and noting the tendency of military and civilian programmes to diverge steadily until the events of 1974 forced an attempt to bring them into single focus.

Randy Hanzlick - Death Investigation; Systems and Procedures (2006).jpg

Death Investigation: Systems and Procedures is the first book dedicated to the topic of death investigation from a legal standpoint as well as the administrative and operational procedures that pertain to the medical examiner and the coroner system in the United States. Unique in its perspective, this book is the only one not concerned with instructing on investigatory conduct, autopsy procedure, pathology, or the solving of crimes. Instead, it explains the concepts and principles of death investigation established by governments, and outlines the legal and administrative steps that must be taken throughout the case.

Beginning with an introduction to the basic types of death investigation, the text explains the circumstances and statutory basis for death investigation systems. The author provides specific details about the role of coroners, medical examiners, and other forensic scientists and personnel who may officially be a part of the investigation. The overall goals of the investigations are included along with case studies and examples illustrating the procedures used in each type. The author also adds a brief summary of the specific system employed by each state. A considerable portion of the book is devoted to practical considerations such as the contents of the autopsy report, the death certificate, principles and issues related to evidence and expert witnesses, as well as a description of a typical day at a medical examiner's or coroner's office.

Well referenced with websites and sources of further information, Death Investigation: Systems and Procedures provides a comprehensive, concise procedural reference to students and professionals including lawyers, crime scene technicians, and anyone who works with death investigation data, or within the death investigation systems in the United States.

Stefan Sottiaux - Terrorism and the Limitation of Rights; The ECHR and the US Constitution (2008).jpg

This is a highly informative study that will be of interest to a broad range of academics and can be drawn upon as additional reading for advanced courses on human rights. It is a very welcome addition to the literature on human rights and terrorism. Different readers will gain different things from a thought-provoking study. Ed Bates Human Rights Law Review Vol 9, No 3, August 2009 In view of the concerns over terrorism and the preoccupation with human rights protections in the contemporary world, Sottiaux's study on the limitations of rights is a most welcome contribution to the legal scholarship...Sottiaux provides a useful analysis of the judicial review of contemporary strategies of counter-terrorism on the basis of human rights considerations. Mathieu Deflem The Law and Politics Book Review Vol. 18 No.7 (July 2008) Until now there did not exist a clear composition drawing up the differences between the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and the Bill of Rights in the US Constitution with regard to terrorism-related limitations. With the current book Sottiaux filled that gap admirably and thus created a precious help for practitioners in that field of law. Katrin Gruber Vienna Online Journal on International Constitutional Law Issue 4/2008 ...Stefan Sottiaux delivers an impressively comprehensive and detailed examination of this issue...In its primary purpose the analysis of how a model of limitation may influence the outcome of the 'balancing exercise' the book is compelling. It is to be recommended as an excellent reviewof the relevant ECHRandUS case-law for anyone interested in the relationship between counter-terrorism and human rights. Daniel Moeckli Modern Law Review (2009) 72 (1) This impressive and highly relevant book offers both a theoretical account of the paradoxical relationship between terrorism and human rights, and a comprehensive comparative survey of the major decisions in this respect of the highest courts on both sides of the Atlantic, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and the United States Supreme Court (SC). This work is highly recommended as an excellent description and legal analysis of the ECHR, US Constitution and their case-law, specifically in relation to counter-terrorism and human rights.

Stefan Sottiaux - Terrorism and the Limitation of Rights; The ECHR and the US Constitution (2008).pdf

Taking as a starting point the widely accepted view that states confronted with terrorism must find a proper equilibrium between their respective obligations of preserving fundamental rights and fighting terrorism effectively, this book demonstrates how the design and enforcement of a human rights instrument may influence the result of that exercise. The book looks at the question of how a legal order's approach to the limitation of rights may shape decision-making trade-offs between the demands of liberty and the need to guarantee individual and collective security. Special attention is given to the difference between the adjudicative methods of balancing and categorization. The book challenges the conventional wisdom that individual rights, in times of crisis, are better served by the application of categorical rather than flexible models of limitation. In addition, the work considers the impact of a variety of other factors, including the discrepancies in enforcing an international convention as opposed to a national constitution and the use of emergency provisions permitting derogations from human rights obligations in time of war or a public emergency. Research questions are addressed through a comparative study of the terrorism-related restrictions on five fundamental rights protected under the European Convention on Human Rights and the US Constitution — the right to freedom of expression, the right to freedom of association, the right to personal liberty, the right to privacy, and the right to a fair trial. The book offers both a theoretical account of the paradoxical relationship between terrorism and human rights, and a comprehensive comparative survey of the major decisions of the highest courts on both sides of the Atlantic.

Renee K. Harrison - Enslaved Women and the Art of Resistance in Antebellum America (2009).jpg

The historical records and stories of enslaved African women have both creative and life-affirming resistance strategies for how women of the past have dealt with and healed from violence. This book draws on mid-seventeenth to nineteenth-century slave narratives to describe the depths of multi-dimensional oppression and violence in the lives of enslaved African women. Harrison investigates pre-colonial West and West Central African women’s lives prior to European arrival in order to recover those African-derived aesthetic forms, cultural traditions, and religious practices that helped enslaved women combat violence and oppression. The nine strategies of resistance offered as modes of resistance employed by enslaved women are viable modes for modern-day women.

Stan Hoig - Cowtown Wichita and the Wild, Wicked W est (2007).jpg

Before she was Wichita, Kansas, she was a collection of grass huts, home to the ancestors of the Wichita Indians. Then came the Spanish conquistadors, seeking gold but finding instead vast herds of buffalo.
After the Civil War, Wichita played host to a cavalcade of Western men: frontier soldiers, Indian warriors, buffalo hunters, border ruffians, hell-for-leather Texas cattle drovers, ready-to-die gunslingers, and steel-eyed lawmen. Peerless Princess of the Plains, they called her.
Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp, and Bat Masterson were here, but so were Jesse Chisholm, Jack Ledford, Rowdy Joe and Rowdy Kate, Buffalo Bill Mathewson, Marshall Mike Meagher, Indian trader James Mead, Oklahoma Harry Hill, city founder Dutch Bill Greiffenstein, and a host of colorful characters like you’ve never known before.
Stan Hoig depicts a once-rambunctious cowtown on the Chisholm Cattle Trail, neighbor to the lawless Indian Territory, roaring and bucking through its Wild West days toward becoming a major American city.
Cowtown Wichita and the Wild, Wicked West provides tribute to those sometimes valiant, sometimes wicked, sometimes hilarious, and often audacious characters who played a role in shaping Wichita's past.

This book reveals that 1969-74 was a crucial period for the special relationship. The Heath Government attempted to reverse Britains decline as a great power by forging an American-European special relationship out of the Anglo-American relationship. Simultaneously the Nixon Administration tried to recoup the global position of the United States.
