Even more dramatically, the book shows how politicians have ignored repeated reports of the program's failure, and have kept funding a ...

In this first truly cross-cultural study of opium, Keith McMahon considers the perspectives of both smokers and non-smokers from China and the Euro-West and from both sides of the issue of opium prohibition. The author stages a dramatic confrontation between the Chinese opium user and the Euro-Westerner who saw in opium the image of an uncanny Asiatic menace. The rise of the opium demon meant the fall of the god of money, that is, Chinese mone...

Burroughs have come to typify this iconoclastic cold war -- and nearly completely masculine -- scene. Studies of the movement have effaced or excluded women writers, such as Elise Cowen, Joyce Johnson, Joanne Kyger, Hettie Jones, and Diane Di Prima, each one a ...

The first investment book I ever read - in the late 1960s - was Harry Schultz's Bear Markets. After watching the late 1990s lunacy and inevitable fallout, I feel every market student and investor should read a great book on bear markets and thus become wise through the printed word not later through painful disillusion. To the rescue at the right time again comes Harry's new take on the subject, Bear Market Investing Strategies. Full of wisdom...

Hierbei handelt es sich um einen Klassiker der rechtshistorischen Literatur. 1814 entz¿ndete sich der Kodifikationsstreit an der Frage, ob es ein gemeinsames nationales Zivilgesetzbuch f¿r alle deutschen Staaten geben sollte. Er fand zwischen zwei Juristen statt, die als die f¿hrenden K¿pfe des deutschen Zivilrechts galten. Dementsprechend wurden ihre Meinungsverschiedenheiten auf h¿chst anspruchsvollem Niveau ausgetragen. In seiner ausf¿hrlic...

His experience, as shown clearly in this book, covers the gamut of project management. And besides all t...
