Since emerging in 2006 from a ten-year Maoist insurgency, the
People's War, Nepal has struggled with the difficult transition
from war to peace, from autocracy to democracy, and from an
exclusionary and centralized state to a more inclusive and federal
one. The present volume, drawing on both international and Nepali
scholars and leading practitioners, analyzes the context, dynamics,
and key players shaping Nepal's ongoing peace process. While the
peace process is largely domestically driven, it has been
accompanied by wide-ranging international involvement, including
initiatives in peacemaking by NGOs, the United Nations, and India,
which, throughout the process, wielded considerable political
influence; significant investments by international donors; and the
deployment of a Security Council-mandated UN field mission. This
book shines a light on the limits, opportunities, and challenges of
international efforts to assist Nepal in its quest for peace and
stability and offers valuable lessons for similar endeavors
elsewhere."

Christine's Kilimanjaro: My Suburban Climb Up the Mountain of Life
began with the author writing a thank-you letter to God. Christine
found herself at a crossroads in her life when she stumbled across
an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show one day. There she sat
transfixed before the television, not expecting that her reality in
an ordinary world would ever change. She never saw it coming-that
this was the day her dreams would begin to change her life forever.
"For the first time, I was going to be my own tour guide up my
mountain. I could take a new path, instead of the tired one I had
become accustomed to. I discovered something new-something that was
no longer impossible-along the way, learning as I wrote that life
is going to be messy, hurtful, confusing, even magical at times.
But if I don't stop to enjoy my view in the climb, when and if I
finally make it to the top, the top will be nothing more than that.
The 'top' of a mountain!" A beautifully written story about one
woman's quest to be the change she wishes to see in this world. A
spiritual awakening took place as the author wrote out snapshots of
her life, standing up to her past and a few demons she really never
faced until she began to write her memoir. A moving and poignant
path to self-discovery about her present and what she envisions her
future to become. "Please stay seated, keep all hands and arms
inside the moving vehicle at all times. It's going to be a bumpy
ride, people!" That is, unless when you are reading this book you
want to stand up and shout WOO-HOO with me. Face it, some rules are
meant to be broken!"
Required reading for all present and future leaders, this classic
is for those who have to get the job done--military or not.
Patrick M. Malone demonstrates how innovative engineering helped
make Lowell, Massachusetts, a potent symbol of American industrial
prowess in the 19th century.
Waterpower spurred the industrialization of the early United
States and was the principal power for textile manufacturing until
well after the Civil War. Industrial cities therefore grew
alongside many of America's major waterways. Ideally located at
Pawtucket Falls on the Merrimack River, Lowell was one such city--a
rural village rapidly transformed into a booming center for textile
production and machine building. Malone explains how engineers
created a complex canal and lock system in Lowell which harnessed
the river and powered mills throughout the city.
James B. Francis, arguably the finest engineer in 19th-century
America, played a key role in the history of Lowell's urban
industrial development. An English immigrant who came to work for
Lowell's Proprietors of Locks and Canals as a young man, Francis
rose to become both the company's chief engineer and its managing
executive. Linking Francis's life and career with the larger story
of waterpower in Lowell, Malone offers the only complete history of
the design, construction, and operation of the Lowell canal
system.
"Waterpower in Lowell" informs broader understanding of urban
industrial development, American scientific engineering, and the
environmental impacts of technology. Its clear and instructional
discussions of hydraulic technology and engineering principles make
it a useful resource for a range of courses, including the history
of technology, urban history, and American business history.
