The story of the Intifada in the Gaza Strip, with its tragic and inspiring outcomes, is slowly fading from the world's collective memory. In the final weeks of 1987, however, this small strip of land became the major battleground of what the authors consider one of the few authentic national rebellions of the second half of the 20th century. This book presents the personal narratives of six Palestinians - four men and two women - whose stories are central to describing the greater Palestinian plight in the Gaza Strip, the więcej... | ||

The September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon raised numerous questions about American and international aviation security. Former Director of Security of the International Air Transport Association, Rodney Wallis, suggests that the failure to maximize US domestic air security, which left air travellers vulnerable to attack, lay largely with the carriers themselves. He contends that future policies should parallel the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization. Wallis considers więcej... | ||

Looks at the life and philosophy of Sayyid Qutb, dubbed 'the godfather ideologue of al-Qaeda'. The modern political idea of "jihad" - as a violent struggle against corrupt or anti-islamic regimes - is essentially the brainchild of one man who turned traditional islamic percepts inside out and created radical political islam. Using the evolution of Egyptian thinker Sayyid Qutb's life and writings, Musallam traces and analyses Qutb's alienation and subsequent emergence as an independent Islamist within the context więcej... | ||

The vicious urban battle for the insurgent-controlled city of Fallujah in November 2004 was a turning point in the ongoing counterinsurgency campaign in Iraq. It demonstrated the resolve of the Iraqi government to fight terrorists domestically, using both multinational and Iraqi forces, and its results included a returning population willing to vote in national elections held in January 2005. Ballard tells the story of the Fallujah campaign, beginning with the horrific deaths of the American Blackwater contractors in March więcej... | ||

Bush administration, and how their racial identity challenges conventional notions about the role of race in international relations. Lusane argues that, despite their reluctance więcej... | ||

The potential of energy resources in the Caspian region (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) has attracted much attention since the demise of the Soviet Union. Many observers in the major oil-consuming nations consider the Caspian a strong alternative to the Persian Gulf, and hope that a new reliance on its resources can reduce the perennial Western vulnerabilities to price increases and threatened cut-offs. But is the Caspian region really capable of fulfilling this role? The relatively low demand for więcej... | ||

Evidence of rising temperatures, melting ice, rising sea levels, and damage to flora and fauna on land and in the oceans has been accumulating for several decades. Scientific bodies around the world have traced this trend to increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, most of it attributable to the consumption of fossil fuels. Despite the evidence, political debate rages about the existence of global warming. "Global Warming in the 21st Century" provides a detailed review of więcej... | ||

Even several years after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, many organizations are ill prepared to deal with crises, often opting to address them only after the fact. In Code Red in the Boardroom, Tim Coombs argues that crisis management should be a variety of activities the organization performs daily to prevent crises from occurring. In this timely book, he defines the types of crises an organization might experience (both internal and external). He then draws from a wide variety of case examples, and show-cases więcej... | ||

Chess is like an intellectual labyrinth; when one door opens, another ten new doors reveal themselves. Negotiations and other business manoeuvres are similar; each decision or action generates new opportunities. And, like chess, it is more important to determine the paths not taken. As Richard Nixon said: "Always know ahead of time what you don't want." In "Chess and the Art of Negotiation", a world-renowned chess master and a CEO of a global company combine forces and apply the principles of chess to więcej... | ||
