Publisher: —
Description: When Roald Dahl, a dashing young wounded RAF pilot, took up his post at the British Embassy in Washington in 1942, his assignment was to use his good looks, wit, and considerable charm to gain access to the most powerful figures in American political life.

Dahl would soon be caught up in a complex web of deception masterminded by William Stephenson, aka Intrepid, Churchill`s legendary spy chief, who, with President Roosevelt`s tacit permission, mounted a secret campaign of propaganda and political subversion to weaken American isolationist forces, bring the country into the war against Germany, and influence U.S. policy in favor of… [detailed...]

The Islamic Design Module in Latin America: Proportionality and the Techniques of Neo-Mudejar Architecture

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis study analyses the distinctive look of Hispanic architecture. Its triangulate format, originated in Islamic Spain, was based on workshop techniques once used by journeyman designers and simple artisans. Spain was the only European transatlantic colonial power to have once been occupied by Islamic overlords. Spain?s conquistadors took their traditional building methods to Latin America. Formal analyses of the facades of various Latin American churches reveal them to reiterate procedures worked out in Andalusia by Islamic builders in the ninth and tenth centuries. Though widely separated by time and place, both share a proportionate system determining abstract ratios, in both cases, this regulating format was derived from manipulations of the Pythagorean triangles. This ` trazado regulador ` is only expressed in ratios, with no numbers, and is illustrated here with 84 visual examples including measured drawings of Egyptian, Greek, Roman,… [detailed...]

The Island of Bicycle Dancers : A Novel

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Love, sex, death….and English as a foreign language. The Island of Bicycle Dancers is the coming-of-age-story of twenty-year-old Yurika Song, a Korean-Japanese woman who comes from Japan to New York City for a summer to work with her Korean relatives and improve her English. Yurika`s friends back home have always joked that she is half-sushi/half-kim-chi. But cross-Asian ethnicities turn out to be far less jarring than her introduction to New York life, the world ofbicycle messengers and the street culture in which they thrive. On one level this is a splendid tale of mistaken love-Yurika falls hard for an attractive, but dangerous, Puerto Rican bicycle messenger nicknamed `Bone.` But on another, deeper level, our heroine finds freedom in this new language, which to her `is like a huge octopus, very clever and sometimes hard to catch but with so many wild and beautiful writhing limbs.` [detailed...]

H. G. Wells
The Island of Dr. Moreau

1996 y.
Publisher: Dover Publications
Description: Considered one of the fathers of science fiction, H.G.Wells (1866-1946) brought enormous inventiveness and an underlying social vision and moral concern to his strange tales and bizarre imaginings. A student of Darwinian biology, he formed his romantic conceptions of the scientific world at an early age. This novel, one of his first forays into the science fiction genre, concerns a mad surgeon-turned-vivisectionist who, in his laboratory on a remote island, performs ghoulish experiments in an attempt to transform animals into men, with monstrous results. It is one of Wells`s earliest and most sinister personifications of the scientific quest to control and manipulate the natural world, and, ultimately, human nature itself. First published in 1896, `The Island of Dr. Moreau` has intrigued and horrified readers for generations. It will gain legions of new fans in this inexpensive Dover edition. [detailed...]

Description: Amazon.comA shipwreck in the South Seas, a palm-tree paradise where a mad doctor conducts vile experiments, animals that become human and then `beastly` in ways they never were before--it`s the stuff of high adventure. It`s also a parable about Darwiniantheory, a social satire in the vein of Jonathan Swift ( Gulliver`s Travels ), and a bloody tale of horror. Or, as H. G. Wells himself wrote about this story, ` The Island of Dr. Moreau is an exercise in youthful blasphemy. Now and then, thoughI rarely admit it, the universe projects itself towards me in a hideous grimace. It grimaced that time, and I did my best to express my vision of the aimless torture in creation.` This colorful tale by the author of The Time Machine , The Invisible Man , and The War of the Worlds lit a firestorm of controversy at the time of its publication in 1896.

The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy

2008 y.
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd.
Description: Does America`s pro-Israel lobby wield inappropriate control over US foreign policy? This book has created a storm of controversy by bringing out into the open America`s relationship with the Israel lobby: a loose coalition of individuals and organizations that actively work to shape foreign policy in a way that is profoundly damaging both to the United States and Israel itself. Israel is an important, valued American ally, yet Mearsheimer and Walt show that, by encouraging unconditional US financial and diplomatic support for Israel and promoting the use of its power to remake the Middle East, the lobby has jeopardized America`s and Israel`s long-term security and put other countries - including Britain - at risk. `The Israel Lobby` shows why this has happened, and what can be done to encourage a lasting peace.

The Israeli Economy, 1985?1998: From Government Intervention to Market Economics

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: From 1973 to 1985, the Israeli economy suffered a deep crisis: the growth rate declined, foreign debt increased, and inflation soared to annual rates of a few hundred percent. This book analyzes the structural reforms initiated between 1985 and 1998 thattransformed the Israeli economy from one of heavy government intervention to a market-oriented, open economy. The reforms introduced fiscal discipline, increased central bank independence, and reduced government intervention in capital, labor, and financial markets. Also, competition was fostered in monopoly-controlled markets. The results of these reforms include, among others: a decline from 77 percent to 55 percent in the government expenditure portion of the gross domestic product, a decline from 65 percent of credit volume to 5 percent in government involvement in directing credit, and almost complete elimination of the tight control of the foreign-exchange market. These reforms, together with the mass migration into Israel from… [detailed...]

The Israeli Secret Services and the Struggle Against Terrorism (Columbia Studies in Terrorism and Irregular Warfare)

Description: While Mossad is known as one of the world`s most successful terrorist-fighting organizations, the state of Israel has, more than once and on many levels, risked the lives of its agents and soldiers through unwise intelligence-based intervention. The elimination of Palestinian leaders and militants has not decreased the incidence of Palestinian terrorism, for example. In fact, these incidents have become more lethal than ever, and ample evidence suggests that the actions of Israeli intelligence have fueled terrorist activities across the globe.An expert on terror and political extremism, Ami Pedahzur argues that Israel`s strict reliance on the elite units of the intelligence community is fundamentally flawed. A unique synthesis of memoir, academic research, and information gathered from print and online sources, Pedahzur`s complex study explores this issue through Israel`s past encounters with terrorists, specifically hostage rescue missions, the first and second wars in Lebanon, the… [detailed...]
