A unique effort to combine Russian and American perspectives on the role of human rights in the U S -Soviet relationship at the end of the Soviet Union Dmitri Trenin, The Nixon Center Includes forewords by Mikhail Gorbachev and George P Shultz A diplomatic memoir unlike any other, this volume takes the reader behind the scenes on both sides of the Cold одсгк War as two men form an unlikely partnership to help transform Soviet-American relations When U S assistant secretary of state Richard Schifter first met Soviet deputy foreign minister Anatoly Adamishin to discuss human rights, the Reagan administration was still skeptical of Gorbachev s reformist credentials But skepticism soon gave way not just to belief but to active support Like their immediate superiors George Shultz and Eduard Shevardnadze, Schifter and Adamishin became partners in the process of rapprochement Together, they helped free political prisoners, spur Jewish emigration, support perestroika against its domestic enemies, and contribute to the mutual trust that allowed the Cold War to end swiftly and peacefully Each chapter consists of two parts, one by each author, that offer complementary perspectives on the same events The result is a volume that reveals much about the policymaking process during a historic era and exemplifies the power of diplomatic negotiation It also argues provocatively that once the Cold War had ended, U S assistance to the Soviet Union could have helped prevent Gorbachev s fall from power, which ultimately damaged the democratic cause in Russia.  2009 г Мягкая обложка, 356 стр ISBN 1601270402.

Leon Uris wrote a book once, where he claimed for having penetrated the Arab mind, as if the Arab mind is a locked safe box, which needs to be penetrated The introduction of Arabs and Muslims should never be left to Baron Heinrich von Maltzan or to Leon Uris , we Arabs and Muslims must open up and tell the world who we are , what we think and how our dreams look like, especially in this time of conflict Muthanna Al Kurtass.  2009 г Мягкая обложка, 340 стр ISBN 1438975651.

Legacy of a Singular Life is a compilation of the poetry, essays and stories of Miss H Almeda Boulton If she loved anything it was nature: the innocence of trees, the joy of the bird, the mischief of a squirrel, the mystery of weather, the history of the rock or mountains and seas She lived her life watching, recording what she saw into her quick, inquisitive одсаг mind Her poetry relates her observations without the frills of romanticism or obscurity and rings with a clear truth Circumstances set her apart from relationships she craved Those few she regarded as enduring were taken from her at various times in her life Her strict independence was founded upon the realization that only one person was completely and absolutely trustworthy: herself This was not a selfish condition It was all she knew She would be amazed to know her writings are of interest There is much to learn from them and her thoughts and philosophies are valuable lessons to be taught to all generations She died at the great age of 96 Her closest and most endearing kin was Mother Nature She rests in the sanctuary of the arms of Mother Earth with her treasured ancestors in Caro, MI May God grant her peace and respite She lived a rewarding and abundant life with fearless exuberance.  2009 г Мягкая обложка, 404 стр ISBN 1438968728.

This fresh look at America?s first sea warrior avoids both the hero worship of the past and the recent, inaccurate deconstructionist views of John Paul Jones?s astonishing life The author goes beyond a narrow naval context to establish Jones as a key player in the American Revolution, something not done by previous biographers, and explains what одсбл drove him to his achievements At the same time, Admiral Joseph Callo fully examines Jones?s dramatic military achievements?including his improbable victory off Flamborough Head in the Continental ship Bonhomme Richard?but in the context of the times rather than as stand-alone events The book also looks at some interesting but lesser-known aspects of Jones?s naval career, including his relationships with such civilian leaders as Benjamin Franklin How Jones handled those often-difficult dealings, Callo maintains, contributed to the nation?s concept of civilian control of the military Suggesting that Jones might well be the first U S apostle of sea power, the author also focuses on the fact that Jones was the first serving American naval officer who emphasized the role naval power would play in the rise of the United States as a global power Another neglected aspect of Jones?s career that gets attention and analysis is his brief tour in the Russian navy, a revealing chapter of his life that has been underreported in the two hundred years since Jones?s death Rather than looking at Jones in a rearview mirror, Callo illuminates how this unique naval hero is linked to the nation?s present and future As a result, he gives us a sea saga that tells much about our own lives and times.  2009 г Мягкая обложка, 288 стр ISBN 1591141044.

When Mary Stuever graduated from forestry school in the early 1980s, her profession was facing tremendous challenges as the nation's forests were poised for serious decline from catastrophic wildfires, insect outbreaks, and suburban encroachment Stuever captured this transition over the last few decades in her syndicated monthly column одсгь "The Forester's Log " Originally penned for newspapers in rural forested communities in the Southwest, the column has found its way into various magazines, newsletters, anthologies, and Web sites Stuever's career involves firefighting, fire rehabilitation, timber sale administration, environmental education, and many other aspects of forest management Through her work with native tribes, local, state, and federal agencies, and private landowners, Stuever focuses on the important bond between land and people With an inspiring and informative style, Stuever's tales weave fresh insight into forest issues Her writings, collected here for the first time, tell the poignant story of places, people, and experiences that have shaped her passion while offering a rare glimpse of forestry in the Southwest at the turn of the new millennium "Like individual trees that stand together as a rich forest, the pieces in Mary Stuever's Forester's Log join with each other to create a greater whole Stuever not only guides us into complex and varied forests, but illuminates their connections with the people and communities she encounters, from the mother-daughter team in Cuba, NM, who integrate watershed concerns with tree farming, to the White Mountain Apache who called her 'Mama Baer,' a play on the acronym for the forest restoration project she led for five years after the massive Rodeo-Chediski fire in eastern Arizona These moving stories are the heart of the book Throughout this collection, we not only see a natural teacher at work and learn much about forest ecology, we begin to know the dedicated, competent humane, and fearless woman who loves her calling Anyone who's ever walked among towering ponderosas, worried about dying pinons, watched racing flames on a mountainside, or marveled at new growth sprouting from burned ground will love this book Southwestern forests have found a compelling voice "--Mary Beath, author of Hiking Alone: Trails Out, Trails Home (UNM Press) and Refuge of Whirling Light (UNM Press)"It's been a long time since foresters wrote plainly about their work--Gifford Pinchot, Aldo Leopold, Elers Koch (Forty Years a Forester)--and back then it was only the guys "--Ana Maria Spagna, author of Now Go Home: Wilderness, Belonging, and the Crosscut Saw.  2009 г Мягкая обложка, 278 стр ISBN 0826344585.
