Ashgate Publishing Limited, UK, 2005. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. 180 pages. Available Now. Book Description: Placing the second US-Iraq conflict in the context of emerging trends in international relations, this exceptional, timely volume examines the broad framework of US policy toward Iraq under the administration of George W. Bush. The Second Iraq War marks the third time since 1991 that the United States has invaded a Muslim country, and this book details not only the specifics of the conflict, but the war's broad impact on US relations with Muslim states, both in a regional and global context. It analyzes the development of the previous US policy of containment to the new doctrine of preemption. The volume also: Examines the linkages between Al Qaeda's attacks on the United States on 11 September 2001 and the prosecution of the Second Iraq War; Explores the diplomatic manoeuvring of Washington and the international community during the war's prologue; Details the Bush administration's nation-building operations to reconstruct Iraq as a democratic model for other Muslim majority states across the Greater Middle East; An excellent supplementary text for courses on conflict and security, foreign policy, Middle East studies and international relations more generally. : Review: Prize: Winner of a Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award 2006 '...a very timely and useful book...Indeed, the authors' clear writing and well-honed arguments make an informative read for the interested public as well. This concise book offers a surprisingly comprehensive view of contemporary US national security policy...a well-organized summary and analysis of US national security policy. In sum, I highly recommend this valuable contribution to twenty-first century national security studies.' Greg Granger, Associate Professor, Northwestern State University of Louisiana, USA 'Pauly and Lansford have written an excellent and timely examination of the US intervention in Iraq that should become a standard introduction to the second Gulf War...As a history of US policies toward Iraq, the book is a first-rate reference useful to students and policy makers alike...Highly recommended.' Choice 'This is a succinct but authoritative treatment of the evolving nature of the newly announced (2002) US policy of pre-emptive first strike...a quite useful supplement for the array of courses emphasizing national security, foreign policy and international relations.'

Hardcover. New. This book is unique and singular of its kind. Its speciality lies in its contents of the various philosophical thoughts — Monism, Dualism, Pluralism, Atheism, Theism, primordially expounded and analytically studied to form into a single concise book, which could save the troubles of the readers from referring to other literary sources in order to quench their curiosity about the Vedantic literature of the country. Various factors, influencing the socio-political-philosophical concepts since several centuries, have been taken into consideration with erudite documentation. Some of them can be succinctly listed : Geo-Historical Indus Valley Civilisations, formation, development and progression of the Vedic literatures with religious influence during their propoundings, effects of Bhakti Movement during the medieval period including Sufism, religious, language conflicts and patriotic movements, materialism of Charvakas Lokayatikas and Sankhya, Yogas, development of socio-philosophical thought initiated by Swami Dayanand Sarasvati, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Swami Vivekananda and several others of the modern times, such as Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, the former President of the Republic of India. All these have been considered in their proper perspectives in this book, and that too not in isolation, but keeping in view that philosophy is the most important organ of social consciousness, and its principal functions are cognitive, worldview, methodical and ideological. In short, it is a “Hand-book”. It is one world or two words of Indian Philosophy, in which views and conceptions of most of the Indian philosophers have been mediated through their personal experiences, thus, acquiring a definite direction for the individual’s practical and cognitive activities and behaviour.1.

Mandukya Karik of Gaudapada 2. Samkara 3. Ramanuja 1. Developmen Printed Pages: 424. NA, Atlantic Publishers & Distributors (P) Ltd, 2000, 6, Atlantic Publishers & Distributors (P) Ltd, 2000. Hardcover. New. This book is unique and singular of its kind. Its speciality lies in its contents of the various philosophical thoughts Monism, Dualism, Pluralism, Atheism, Theism, primordially expounded and analytically studied to form into a single concise book, which could save the troubles of the readers from referring to other literary sources in order to quench their curiosity about the Vedantic literature of the country. Various factors, influencing the socio-political-philosophical concepts since several centuries, have been taken into consideration with erudite documentation. Some of them can be succinctly listed : Geo-Historical Indus Valley Civilisations, formation, development and progression of the Vedic literatures with religious influence during their propoundings, effects of Bhakti Movement during the medieval period including Sufism, religious, language conflicts and patriotic movements, materialism of Charvakas Lokayatikas and Sankhya, Yogas, development of socio-philosophical thought initiated by Swami Dayanand Sarasvati, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Swami Vivekananda and several others of the modern times, such as Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, the former President of the Republic of India. All these have been considered in their proper perspectives in this book, and that too not in isolation, but keeping in view that philosophy is the most important organ of social consciousness, and its principal functions are cognitive, worldview, methodical and ideological. In short, it is a Hand-book. It is one world or two words of Indian Philosophy, in which views and conceptions of most of the Indian philosophers have been mediated through their personal experiences, thus, acquiring a definite direction for the individuals practical and cognitive activities and behaviour.1.

Cottrol, Raymond T. Diamond, and Leland B. WareUniversity Press of Kansas2003Hardcover, Excellent conditionBefore 1954, both law and custom mandated strict racial segregation throughout much of the nation. That began to change with Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark decision that overturned the pernicious "separate but equal" doctrine. In declaring that legally mandated school segregation was unconstitutional, the Supreme Court played a critical role in helping to dismantle America's own version of apartheid, Jim Crow. This new study of Brown-the title for a group of cases drawn from Kansas, Virginia, South Carolina, Delaware, and the District of Columbia-offers an insightful and original overview designed expressly for students and general readers. It is concise, up-to-date, highly readable, and very teachable. The authors, all recognized authorities on legal history and civil rights law, do an admirable job of examining the fight for legal equality in its broad cultural and historical context. They convincingly show that Brown cannot be understood apart from the history of caste and exclusion in American society. That history antedated the very founding of the country and was supported by the nation's highest institutions, including the Supreme Court whose decision in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) supported the notion of "separate but equal." Their book traces the lengthy court litigations, highlighting the pivotal role of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and including incisive portraits of key players, including co-plaintiff Oliver Brown, newly appointed Chief Justice Earl Warren, NAACP lawyer and future Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall, and Justice Felix Frankfurter, who recognized the crucial importance of a unanimous court decision and helped produce it. The authors simply but powerfully narrate the obstacles these individuals faced and the opportunities they grasped and clearly show that there was much more at stake than educational rights. Brown not only changed the national equation of race and caste-it also changed our view of the Court's role in American life. The dramatic story of the road to and from Brown, despite the retrenchments of recent years, needs to be heard anew. As we prepare to commemorate the decision's fiftieth anniversary in May 2004, this book invites readers to walk that road again and appreciate the lasting importance of what is indisputably a landmark case.Weight: 1 poundSize: 9 tall, 6 wide, and 1 1/2 thickPages: 292Location: ABE001, University Press of Kansas, 2003, 3, Atlantic Publishers & Distributors (P) Ltd., 2006.
