The Civil War is often portrayed as the most brutal war in America's history, a premonition of twentieth-century slaughter and carnage. In challenging this view, Mark E. Neely, Jr., considers the war's destructiveness in a comparative context, revealing the sense of limits that guided the conduct of American soldiers and statesmen.

Self-assembly is undoubtedly a topic of special interest in current chemistry and is related to very wide scientific areas. Recent progress in this field seems to be featured by the construction of well-defined discrete systems exploiting complementary hydrogen bonding as well as coordination bonding. Seven leading international experts introduce the current topics in this very interesting field, focusing on two major subjects: organic assemblies and inorganic assemblies. All researchers who are interested in molecular recognition, material science, nanotechnology, and supramolecular chemistry will welcome this book as an inspiring source for creative research ideas.

The bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence offers a front-row seat at a groundbreaking meeting between the Dalai Lama and some of the foremost scientists and philosophers in the world. Imagine sitting with the Dalai Lama in his private meeting room with a small group of world-class scientists and philosophers. The talk is lively and fascinating, as these leading minds grapple with age-old questions of compelling contemporary urgency: Why do seemingly rational people commit acts of cruelty and violence? What are the root causes of destructive behavior? Can we learn to control the emotions that drive these impulses?

Of Ammianus Marcellinus, the writer of the following History, we know very little more than what can be collected from that portion of it which remains to us. From that source we learn that he was a native of Antioch, and a soldier; being one of the prefectores domestici—the body-guard of the emperor, into which none but men of noble birth were admitted. He was on the staff of Ursicinus, whom he attended in several of his expeditions; and he bore a share in the campaigns which Julian made against the Persians.

More than 30 years ago I proved by use of a theorem of Lowenheim that a theory based on axioms formulated in the lower predicate calculus could always be satisfied in a denumerable infinite domain of objects. Later one has often expressed this by saying that a denumerable model exists for such a theory. Of particular interest was of course the application of this theorem to axiomatic set theory, showing that also for this an arithmetical model can be found. As I emphasized this leads to a relativisation of set theoretic notions.

Sandra M. Anglund examines the American national government's small business assistance policy from the passage of the Small Business Act of 1953 onward. She traces the heritage of the policy and shows how American core values, those often referred to as the American Creed, contributed to shaping that policy.

The Trinity is the heart of the Christian gospel, but Father, Son, and Holy Spirit seldom occupies that position in contemporary discussions of the Christian worldview. This book helps fill the need by unveiling the Trinity at the center of reality. Ralph Smith shows how Trinitarian life shapes covenants, creation, revelation, miracle, kingdom, self, church, and eternity. He compares the Trinity to opposing viewpoints, including secularism and other religions, highlighting the practical implications of Trinitarian and non-Trinitarian views for the individual and society.

Rather, the percentage of fat in one's body is critical: the average woman's body contains as much as 22% fat, and lower levels are considered unhealthy. The coauthors survey the similarities and differences in men's and women's body builds, their respective metabolic needs and the dynamics of male and female weight loss and gain. They also repeat what we already know: women have a more difficult time keeping fit and trim. The familiar health benefits and psychological boon of exercise are discussed, as well as the problems--e.g., bulimia and anorexia--of overzealous dieting. Throughout, Bailey, a fitness workshop instructor, and Bishop, his assistant, plug his program for weight control, based on the one used at Bailey's Fit or Fat Center in Oregon.

The heart of each presentation is an introduction to the nation's spiritual worldview and rituals, including cosmology, and gods and spirits. Quest for Harmony is intended for anyone seeking a basic understanding of the cultures and spiritual teachings of Native American nations. It is sympathetic and respectful, presenting the views of Native Americans in their own voice wherever possible. Critical issues common to Native Americas such as the Pannational spiritual movements and the environment are also covered.

This title critically evaluates the preparative applicability and significance of the synthetic methods, discusses relevant background information and provides detailed experimental procedures.

The World And Yugoslavia's Wars addresses the questions arising from the Yugoslavian experience of national dissolution through a series of wars and social breakdowns, the implications for other situations of communal conflict in the face of the international community's inability to take timely action when war enveloped Bosnia and Croatia, the implications for future peacekeeping actions by the United Nations and NATO. The specialists on international relations who have contributed include Thomas Weiss, Stanley Hoffmann, David Gompert, Paul Goble, Richard Sobel, Jean Manas, Abram & Antonia Handler Chayes, and the editor, Richard Ullman. The World And Yugoslavia's Wars is a vital and timely addition to any Balkan studies program.

The book offers a uniquely comprehensive analysis of the different facets of modern strategy. The classic writings of Carl von Clausewitz are reconsidered for their continuing relevance, while possible successors are appraised. In addition to arguing that Clausewitz figured out what strategy was, and how it worked, the book probes deeply into strategy's political, ethical, and cultural dimension. The book explains how strategic behaviour in the twentieth century has expanded from the two-dimensional world of the land and the surface of the sea, to include the ocean depths, the air, space, and most recently the 'cyberspace' environments. It also offers details analyses both of nuclear matters and of the realm of irregular violence.

This book is an excellent tool for helping students do just that. It examines the ways in which sport has, at various times, intermingled with religion, politics, nationalism, and terrorism and warfare. It demonstrates that while it has been used to foster democratic ideals, it has just as often been used to impose the customs and values of a conquering people on its subjects; that it has been a vehicle for the promotion of both racial equality and racist ideology; and that it has appealed to our highest sentiments as well as our basest emotions. McComb examines these issues in a thoughtful, balanced manner, eschewing easy, conventional interpretation. He admits, for example, that the meaning and purpose of sport in human history is difficult to determine and that it is not always legitimate to assume that sports reveal something significant about the character of the society in which they are played.
