A Sea Change: The Exclusive Economic Zone and Governance Institutions for Living Marine Resources

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description With growing concern about the oceans and the resources of this realm has come a proliferation of international and national efforts aimed at protecting this environment. This volume constitutes the initial effort to reflect on the outcomes associated with the third Law of the Sea Conference and to assess how the reforms and changes brought on by this conference have performed. The establishment of 200-mile Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ’s) constitutes one of the most far-reaching distributional and institutional changes in the history of the world. They brought over 20 % of the world’s oceans, a substantial proportion of its productivity, and 90 to 95 % of world fisheries under the national jurisdiction of coastal states. At this time, 145 states have ratified the Law of the Sea Convention and most have established EEZs. Some have established only a legal framework, while other countries have elaborated EEZ regimes. This volume focuses on the… [detailed...]

A Seat At The Table: A Novel of Forbidden Choices

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A Seat at the Table tells the story of the young man, Elisha, who grows up in post-war Brooklyn in a family of Chassidim, a Jewish sect with one hundred thousand people in America. A cipher to most Amercans and even to most Jews who live blocks away, the movement`s renaissance after near total extinction in the fires of the Holocaust is a remarkable achievement not only in Jewish history but for America as well. Elisha is a scion of the major Chassidic rabbinical dynasties, the Rebbes charged with nurturing the spiritual life of their followers. The novel depicts the profound - and largely unknown - social network of this resurgent, still traumatized community, into which Elisha is born. Every member is every member`s responsibility: the sick and elderly are visited daily, the poor are fed and clothed, the unemployed given work, and the children taught in bustling Chassidic schools. The central, sustaining focus of this faith community is its devotion to the Chassidic mystical… [detailed...]

A Seat on the Shore

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: As journalist and editor David Tyler writes in his introduction, `Exploring the Maine coast is like a treasure hunt. On every trip you find a new jewel: a secluded beach, a Victorian inn by the shore, or a weathered fishing wharf with a mA©lange of colorful skiffs.` In this book, veteran photographer Nance Trueworthy often takes the reader off the beaten track, to places where, as Tyler puts it, `we can leave our harried lives behind and just sit, wondering at the beauty of this shoreline.` In addition, however, `Nance shows us places that we think we already know in a new light. In one photo, we see beach grass near Mackworth Island in the brilliant light of a late-fall afternoon. In another image, we see the fog lifting off the glittering stones of Seawall Beach on a summer day.` In many of the images in this book, there are one or more comfortable chairs, just waiting for the reader to `set a spell` and take in the beauty of Maine`s extraordinary coast.

A Second Genesis: Stepping-stones Towards the Intelligibility of Nature

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `A Second Genesis` enquires why nature is intelligible. The fast growth of technology and deeper understanding of the humanities have provided significant clues. Answering the question why nature can be understood requires an introduction to the new science of astrobiology and the exploration of the Solar System. A careful discussion of a `second Genesis` is presented, namely our present awareness that life may have emerged on other worlds. Writing this volume has been motivated by the need to encourage a constructive dialogue between science and faith.Such an objective for a new book is timely, since science is inserted with well-defined frontiers in the context of human culture. Similarly, the frontiers of faith do not require religion to justify itself in scientific terms, avoiding current unnecessary controversies. This book intends to engage readers interested in the position of humans in nature. It makes a serious effort to avoid demanding detailed knowledge of science,… [detailed...]

A Secret Life: The Polish Officer, His Covert Mission, and the Price He Paid to Save His Country

Description: Book DescriptionFor almost a decade, Col.Ryszard Kuklinski betrayed the Communist leadership of Poland, cooperating with the CIA in one of the most extraordinary human intelligence operations of the Cold War. Now that Poland is free, a riddle remains: Was Kuklinski a patriot or a traitor? In August 1972, Ryszard Kuklinski, a highly respected colonel in the Polish Army, embarked on what would become one of the most extraordinary human intelligence operations of the Cold War. Despite the extreme risk to himself and his family, he contacted the American Embassy in Bonn, and arranged a secret meeting. From the very start, he made clear that he deplored the Soviet domination of Poland, and believed his country was on the wrong side of the Cold War. Over the next nine years, Kuklinski rose quickly in the Polish defense ministry, acting as a liaison to Moscow, and helping to prepare for a `hot war ` with the West. But he also lived a life of subterfuge--of dead drops, messages… [detailed...]

A Secret Sadness: The Hidden Relationship Patterns That Make Women Depressed

2007 y.
Publisher: New Harbinger Publications
Description: Women experience depression at a higher rate than men, and researchers have recently uncovered evidence that suggests this may be due to the higher importance they place on their interpersonal relationships. Some of these researchers believe that women who struggle with relationships may be at higher risk for depression because their relationships with their spouses, children, families of origin, and community are intertwined with their self-esteem and perception of personal success. This book examines the often hidden relationship factors that make women depressed, the secret sadness that can last a lifetime. Using three detailed case studies from her own practice, author Valerie Whiffen shows you how interpersonal problems can contribute to depression and how working through these underlying issues can help you heal. She guides you to explore your own relationships with parents, siblings, children, and intimate partners, looking for ways that feelings about relationships may… [detailed...]

A Semiotic Phenomenology of Visual Rhetoric: Communication and Perception of Attributes of Cultural Sustainability in the Visual Environment of Public Housing

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The challenge of communicating ideas of cultural sustainability by visual means was rarely studied for the lack of theoretical/methodological approaches to cope with the visual-human interaction. In this book, a theoretical framework comprising rhetoric, semiotics, phenomenology, and a mixed-method `concurrent nested qual+QUAL` strategy, were developed to explore residents` experience engaging with the visual phenomenon of public graphics and public art in public housing. Its focus concerns how design, meaning, and experience of visuals evoked in residents a sense of cultural sustainability. The study identifies a rhetorical situation in the semiotic neighborhoods of housing, that communication and perception of cultural sustainability involved the rhetorical encoding of intended meanings into designs, which residents decoded, generating cultural meaning that evoked thoughts, feelings about the vitality of their community, continuity of culture - result of `visuality,`… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: The remarkable story of how a teenager rescued from Castro’s Cuba rose to become a United States senatorThe swift and improbable rise of Mel Martinez to the top echelon of America’s government began not with a political race but with a burst of gunfire. In April 1958, an eleven-year-old Martinez huddled on his bedroom floor while Cuban soldiers opened fire on insurgents outside his family’s home in the town of Sagua la Grande. If political unrest made daily life disturbing and at times frightening, Fidel Castro’s Communist Revolution nine months later was nothing short of devastating. When armed militiamen shouted violent threats at Martinez for wearing a medallion as a sign of his Catholic faith, his parents made a heartrending decision: their son would have to escape the Castro regime–alone. A Sense of Belonging is the riveting account of innocence lost, exile sustained by religious faith, and an immigrant’s determination to overcome the barriers of language and culture in his… [detailed...]
