This special issue of Military Psychology reports behavioral,
pharmacological, and toxicological science research on military
performance as it is affected by chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and
their pharmacological countermeasures. The papers in this issue are
a diverse assembly; some very pharmacological in orientation,
others driven by behavioral neuroscience. The unifying theme is the
psychological consequences or organic syndromes that may be
confused with consequences resulting from exposure to CWAs or use
of their medical countermeasures.
This book provides the most comprehensive and scientific assessment
to date of what it means to appear before war crimes tribunals.
This ground-breaking analysis, conducted with the cooperation of
the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
(ICTY) Victims and Witnesses Section, examines the positive and
negative impact that testifying has on those who bear witness to
the horrors of war by shedding new light on the process. While most
witnesses have positive feelings and believe they contributed to
international justice, there is a small but critical segment of
witnesses whose security, health, and well-being are adversely
affected after testifying. The witness experience is examined
holistically, including witness' perceptions of their physical and
psychological well-being. Because identity (gender and ethnicity)
and war trauma were central to the ICTY's mandate and the conflicts
in the former Yugoslavia, the research explores in-depth how they
have impacted the most critical stakeholders of any transitional
justice mechanism: the witnesses.
James VI and I united the crowns of England and Scotland. His books are fundamental sources of the principles that underlay the union and among the most influential writings of their period. James' political philosophy was a moderated absolutism, shedding light on the political climate of Shakespeare's England and the intellectual background to the civil wars of the mid-seventeenth century. This edition is the first to draw on all the early texts of James' books, with an introduction setting them in their historical context.

"More than an account of Kuna ecology, this book argues for a positive environmental policy. The authors urge the Kuna to consider the potential ecological hazards of pursuing certain business interests, and remind their readers of the reliable, though delicate, relationship that exists between human society and the natural world"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.

Marcel Proust's literary masterpiece "A la recherche du temps
perdu" overflows with brilliant, minutely described accounts of
food and drink drawn from the author's vivid memories. After all,
it was the taste of one of those short, plump little cakes called
petites madeleines, dipped into a cup of tea, that first impelled
Proust into "a remembrance of things past." He wrote with relish
and exactitude about Francoise, the family cook in Illiers-Combray,
the restaurant at the Grand Hotel Balbec, meals at Rivebelle, La
Raspeliere, and the Guermantes' in Paris.
Shirley King, a professional chef and lifelong lover of Proust's
works, was inspired to draw these two strands together into this
tribute to a master: a collection of recipes representing the best
of classical French cuisine from Proust's belle epoque, ranging
from the sophisticated elaboration of lobster A l'americaine or
truffled partridge to the simplicity of croque-monsieur. King
combines practical instruction, quotations from Proust's works, and
rich illustrations in a way that will charm every lover of Proust
and every cook.

The KJV Apocrypha in a single volume. The Apocrypha ('hidden
things') are contemporaneous with the Hebrew Bible, but were not
officially accepted as part of the Bible. They did, however, form
part of the Greek Scriptures and came into English Bibles by that
route. The writings of the Apocrypha run the whole gamut of
literary genres: histories, romances, devotional works, proverbs
and sermons. Many complement parts of the Hebrew Bible and readers
will recognise some familiar Biblical characters in the narratives,
such as Daniel and Esther.
A bona fide classic, originally published in 1872, Mountaineering
in the Sierra Nevada is still exciting reading. It describes the
perils and pleasures experienced by Clarence King (1842-1901) while
conducting the first geological survey of California in the 1860s.
His language was equal to the marvels he found, and here with
unfading brilliance are his accounts of scaling such mountains as
Tyndall, Shasta, and Whitney. The chapters on the Yosemite Valley
and surrounding High Sierras were written while he was surveying
the boundaries of a newly designated national park. There are also
delightful vignettes of western characters, including a Sierra
artist and a family of Pike County hog farmers. Clarence King, who
in 1879 became the first director of the United States Geological
Survey, will always be remembered for Mountaineering in the Sierra
Nevada, which was praised by Wallace Stegner, Van Wyck Brooks, and
Henry Seidel Canby as a watermark of frontier literature.This 1935
edition was introduced and edited by Francis P. Farquhar, editor of
the Sierra Club Bulletin from 1926 to 1946.
