2099, a eutopia /

Abstract: "2099: A Eutopia offers a provocative glimpse into the daily life of a thriving inner-city community a hundred years from now. Yorick Blumenfeld imagines a better world, not a perfect one. He provides an impressionistic panorama of what such a Eutopia might offer the average citizen in 2099 - particularly in terms of its intimacy, creativity and spirituality. Alongside the technological wonders of MI counsellors (endowed with Machine Intelligence), smart robots and 'improved' babies, ordinary human beings will still have to cope, but with far less stress than they do today. In this challenging narrative, the ravages of a money-driven market have been left far behind and replaced with a viable credit system that enhances stability rather than growth, and eliminates the glaring inequalities of capitalism."--Jacket.

We come unseen :

xiv, 270 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, maps, portraits ; 24 cm

Abstract: "From the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the threat of a nuclear Armageddon was an everyday reality. The front line of what Churchill called 'the balance of terror' was the submarine forces of the Soviets and the West that were responsible for the delivery of the nuclear ballistic missiles targeted on the world's largest cities. Hundreds of feet beneath the waves, these leviathans vied for supremacy, a supremacy that would signal to their respective political masters their ability to achieve global dominance - or indeed destruction. Alongside them worked the attack submarines, tasked with locating and trailing the missile submarines and - in time of war - with destroying them. Together they played a deadly game of nuclear hide-and-seek. Hitherto, on this side of the Atlantic, little more than hints of this remarkable tale have come to light.^ Now, granted exclusive access to its leading submarine commanders by the Royal Navy, Jim Ring tells for the first time the story of this critical aspect of the Cold War. The backdrop is the achievements of the submarine branch during the Second World War, and the gradual development of a new, post-war role. The story proper begins with the acquisition of a submarine nuclear power-plant from the US, and subsequently of the Polaris missile system in 1962, and with the inception of the Polaris patrols in 1968. With more than a side-glance at the Falklands War, it culminates in the submarine operations of the Reagan-Thatcher Star Wars era that finally convinced the Soviet Union that the war at sea could not be won.^ In the words of Sir John Coward, Flag Officer Submarines at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall: 'There was a war and we won it.' This book is as much about the personnel of the submarine squadrons as their operations, and it follows the careers of six submarine commanders from their early days at Dartmouth to their remarkable escapades in the North Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the Norwegian and the Barents Seas. It provides a fascinating insight into the sort of men trained and prepared - literally - to press the nuclear button, who in the end gave us peace in our time. As the book demonstrates, they are the more than worthy successors to Churchill's Few."--BOOK JACKET.

Abstract: "Censorship: A World Encyclopedia presents a comprehensive view of censorship, from Ancient Egypt to those modern societies that claim to have abolished the practice. For each country in the world, the history of censorship is described and placed in context, and the media censored are examined: art, cyberspace, literature, music, the press, popular culture, radio, television, and the theatre, not to mention the censorship of language, the most fundamental censorship of all. Also included are surveys of major controversies and chronicles of resistance. Censorship will be an essential reference work for students of the many subjects touched by censorship and for all those who are interested in the history of and contemporary fate of freedom of expression."--Publisher's description.

The idea of a Southern nation :

Abstract: "As the nineteenth century began, the United States was a country in search of definition, of national character. Like other Americans, Southerners found the process of national self-definition urgent and exhilarating. But a series of shocks -- social, economic, intellectual, and finally, political -- gave an increasingly distinctive twist to the ideology of nationalism that developed in the South. By 1860, though agreeing with the North over constitutional fundamentals and sharing with other Americans similar hopes and fears, many Southerners had concluded that only in a separate Southern nation could their rights and security be preserved. This book is a study of how and why the ideology of Southern nationalism arose and spread."--Book cover.

Pieter Bruegel the Elder's Netherlandish proverbs and the practice of rhetoric /

176 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 25 cm.

Abstract: "The paintings of Pieter Bruegel the Elder offer us a glimpse into the world of the sixteenth-century Netherlands, a world of peasants and burghers, of civic and religious life. How did viewers in Bruegel's own day look at his art? In order to offer twenty-first-century eyes something of the experience of a sixteenth-century viewer, this book takes an in-depth look at a single painting by the great Flemish artist, his Netherlandish Proverbs of 1559." "Bruegel's painting is a collection of over one hundred proverbs, each acted out in a single-minded manner by peasants, burghers, monks, inn-keepers and other social types. In order to understand what a viewer of the time might have perceived when viewing this image, this book begins by looking closely at Bruegel's composition. From this starting point, the author offers insights into how proverbs were used and understood in the sixteenth century and into period models for organizing collections. Lastly, the author turns to discussions of Bruegel by his contemporaries, and the insights these give us into the viewing of this and other of his paintings."--BOOK JACKET.

The simple sounds of freedom :

xvi, 312 p., [16 p. of plates] : ill., maps ; 25 cm.

Abstract: "The Simple Sounds of Freedom, the true story of the first American paratrooper to land in Normandy and the only soldier to fight for both the United States and the Soviet Union against Nazi Germany." "It is a story of battle, followed by a succession of captures, escapes, recaptures, and re-escapes, then battle once more, in the final months of fighting on the Eastern Front. For these unique experiences, both President Bill Clinton and President Boris Yeltsin honored Joe Beyrle on the fiftieth anniversary of V-E Day." "Beyrle did not strive to be a part of history, but history kept visiting him. Twice before the invasion he parachuted into Normandy, bearing gold for the French resistance. D Day resulted in his capture, and he was mistaken for a German line-crosser - a soldier who had, in fact, died in the attempt. Eventually Joe was held under guard at the American embassy in Moscow, suspected of being a Nazi assassin." "Fingerprints saved him, confirming that he'd been wounded five times, and that he bore a safe-conduct pass written by Marshal Zhukov after the Wehrmacht wrested Joe, at gunpoint, from execution by the Gestapo. In the ruins of Warsaw his life was saved again, this time by Polish nuns. Some of Joe's story is in his own words - a voice that will be among the last and best we hear firsthand from World War II."--Jacket.

They are in this case those slaveholders who wrote on the ideal in slave management for the southern agricultural press during the four decades preceding the Civil War. Slave management studies were a prominent and frequent feature of the South's farm journals. An extensive sampling of these studies is included here to make readily accessible an important source for the study of slavery."--Preface.

Claude and Madeleine :

Abstract: "When Claude Peri and Madeleine Bayard meet in Indochina in the 1930s, they fall immediately and passionately in love. They become soulmaters and lovers, working together on missions in Vietnam and Japanese-occupied China as spies for the French government." "Returning to Paris in 1939, they witness at first hand their country's capitulation to the German army. Appalled and ashamed, they flee to Marseilles and seize control of SS Le Rhin. Aboard this vessel, from which they've been working as sabotage experts since the outbreak of war, their remarkable adventures continue. After a violent struggle for control of the ship, in which Claude almost loses his life, they sail to Gibraltar and throw in their lot with the British." "Using charm, force of personality and, on occasion, threats of violence, Claude and Madeleine gradually gain access to the highest levels of British intelligence. With Claude now a Royal Navy commander, and Madeleine a cipher officer in the WRNS, they are seconded to the Special Operations Executive. HMS Fidelity sets out on tours of the Mediterranean, dropping off spies and picking up escaped prisoners of war. Madeleine undergoes further training in unarmed combat, sabotage and explosives. Claude, meanwhile, continues his ambitious climb through the ranks of the Royal Navy, winning all manner of impressive weaponry for his ship: floatplanes, a torpedo boat, depth charges, even a detachment of Royal Marines Commandos." "Eventually, in 1942, Claude and Madeleine head back to the Far East, into combat against the Japanese, on what will be their final, most heroic campaign."--BOOK JACKET.

Abstract: "This report presents compelling evidence that people with mental health conditions meet major criteria for vulnerability. The report also describes how vulnerability can lead to poor mental health, and how mental health conditions are widespread yet largely unaddressed among groups identified as vulnerable. It argues that mental health should be included in sectoral and broader development strategies and plans, and that development stakeholders have important roles to play in ensuring that people with mental health conditions are recognized as a vulnerable group and are not excluded from development opportunities. The recommended actions in this report provide a starting point to achieve these aims."--Page xxiv.

After the flood /

333 pages : chiefly color illustrations ; 31 x 39 cm

Abstract: "In late September 2005, Robert Polidori traveled to New Orleans to record the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina and by the city's broken levees. He found the streets deserted, and, without electricity, eerily dark. The next day he began to photograph, house by house: "All the places I went in, the doors were just open. They had been opened by what I collectively call 'the army, ' of maybe 20 National Guards from New Hampshire, 15 policemen from Minneapolis, 20 firefighters from New York ... On maybe half of them or a third of them that I went in, I think that the occupants had been there prior. And some of them did leave certain funeral-like mementos before they left. Maybe right after the waters receded they had the chance to just--to go back to their place and just see, and realize there's nothing worth saving." Amidst all this, Polidori has found something worth saving, has created mementos for those who could not return, documenting the paradoxically beautiful wreckage. In classical terms, he has found ruins. The abandoned houses he recorded were still waterlogged as he entered and as he learned (by trial and error, a process that including finding a dead body) the language of signs and codes in which rescue workers had spray-painted each house's siding. He sees the resulting photographs as the work of a psychological witness, mapping the lives of the absent and deceased through what remains of their belongings and their homes." Amazon.com.

Agatha H. and the airship city :

Abstract: The Industrial Revolution has escalated into all-out warfare. It has been sixteen years since the Heterodyne Boys, benevolent adventurers and inventors, disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Today, Europe is ruled by the Sparks, dynasties of mad scientists ruling over -- and terrorizing -- the hapless population with their bizarre inventions and unchecked power, while the downtrodden dream of the Heterodynes' return. At Transylvania Polygnostic University, a pretty, young student named Agatha Clay seems to have nothing but bad luck. Incapable of building anything that actually works, but dedicated to her studies, Agatha seems destined for a lackluster career as a minor lab assistant. But when the University is overthrown by the ruthless tyrant Baron Klaus Wulfenbach, Agatha finds herself a prisoner aboard his massive airship Castle Wulfenbach -- and it begins to look like she might carry a spark of mad scientist after all.

"A Girl Genius novel." Combines the stories of the graphic novels Girl Genius Vol. 1 through 3 (Agatha Heterodyne and the Beetleburg Clank, Agatha Heterodyne and the Airship City and Agatha Heterodyne and the Monster Engine), with the addition of some new material.
