Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain

Sharon A. Stanley analyzes cynicism from a political-theoretical
perspective, arguing that cynicism isn't unique to our time.
Instead, she posits that cynicism emerged in the works of French
Enlightenment philosophers, such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Denis
Diderot. She explains how eighteenth-century theories of
epistemology, nature, sociability, and commerce converged to form a
recognizably modern form of cynicism, foreshadowing postmodernism.
While recent scholarship and popular commentary has depicted
cynicism as threatening to healthy democracies and political
practices, Stanley argues instead that the French philosophes
reveal the possibility of a democratically hospitable form of
cynicism.
Contemporary scholarly and popular debate over the legacy of racial
integration in the United States rests between two positions that
are typically seen as irreconcilable. On one side are those who
argue that we must pursue racial integration because it is an
essential component of racial justice. On the other are those who
question the ideal of integration and suggest that its pursuit may
damage the very population it was originally intended to liberate.
In An Impossible Dream? Sharon A. Stanley shows that much of this
apparent disagreement stems from different understandings of the
very meaning of integration. In response, she offers a new model of
racial integration in the United States that takes seriously the
concerns of longstanding skeptics, including black power activists
and black nationalists. Stanley reformulates integration to
de-emphasize spatial mixing for its own sake and calls instead for
an internal, psychic transformation on the part of white Americans
and a radical redistribution of power. The goal of her vision is
not simply to mix black and white bodies in the same spaces and
institutions, but to dismantle white supremacy and create a genuine
multiracial democracy. At the same time, however, she argues that
achieving this model of integration in the contemporary United
States would be extraordinarily challenging, due to the poisonous
legacy of Jim Crow and the hidden, self-reinforcing nature of white
privilege today. Pursuing integration against a background of
persistent racial injustice might well exacerbate black suffering
without any guarantee of achieving racial justice or a worthwhile
form of integration. Given this challenge, pessimism toward
integration is a defensible position. But while the future of
integration remains uncertain, its pursuit can neither be
prescribed as a moral obligation nor rejected as intrinsically
indefensible. In An Impossible Dream? Stanley dissects this vexing
moral and political quandary.
Iguanas are large, primeval appearing animals that have always
attracted considerable attention and sicentific study. The 30
species of iguanas are today collectively referred to as iguanines,
or the subfamily Iguaninae, of the lizard family Iguanidae. This
book is the result of a symposium of worldwide scientists on the
world's iguanas that was held at a joint meeting of the Society of
the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles and The Herpetologist's
League. Over 30 recognized experts submitted their studies of these
interesting reptiles, and have published what was once unknown and
unpublished information. This book was a leader in its time, and
still serves as a wonderful reference for scientist and student
alike.

Drawing on the careers of senior executives of the US Environmental
Protection Agency, True Green identifies the concrete actions that
work in protecting our nation's environment. By examining the
exquisitely difficult tasks of executive leadership in
environmental protection, one of the most conflicted public issues
of today, these scholars provide lessons of executive effectiveness
in the principal government institution essential to national
environmental progress. The EPA shoulders great expectations from
the public and political leaders on fulfilling its statutorily
assigned activities. As a result, EPA must act in concert with
state and local governments, nongovernment organizations and
interest groups, as well as business and industry. This volume also
highlights the career civil servants who bridge across from
policymakers to the government bureaucrats who must make real the
abstract policy choices of politicians. True Green uses the
experiences of the individual contributors to provide a deeper
understanding of the practices associated with effective executive
behavior in the Environmental Protection Agency.
Advances in LGBTQ rights in the recent past-marriage equality, the
repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and the expansion of hate crimes
legislation-have been accompanied by a rise in attacks against
trans, queer and/or gender-nonconforming people of color. In
Atmospheres of Violence, theorist and organizer Eric A. Stanley
shows how this seeming contradiction reveals the central role of
racialized and gendered violence in the United States. Rather than
suggesting that such violence is evidence of individual phobias,
Stanley shows how it is a structuring antagonism in our social
world. Drawing on an archive of suicide notes, AIDS activist
histories, surveillance tapes, and prison interviews, they offer a
theory of anti-trans/queer violence in which inclusion and
recognition are forms of harm rather than remedies to it. In
calling for trans/queer organizing and worldmaking beyond these
forms, Stanley points to abolitionist ways of life that might offer
livable futures.

Cervical cancer is a major disease worldwide, with 500,000 new
cases diagnosed every year. Through aetiological studies, an
association has been established with human papilloma virus (HPV)
infection throughout the pathological spectrum of this disease.
Studies of the molecular and biological basis for the role of HPV
in cervical lesions involve clinicians, virologists, cell and
molecular biologists, and most recently immunologists. This book is
a review of HPV infection in cervical cancer, providing the
background to the potential for immunological intervention.
Individual chapters have been written so that the reader,
irrespective of level or discipline, can follow the text, and each
is integrated so that the book as a whole provides a detailed
insight into the most relevant scientific issues of HPV and
cervical cancer. This book should provide an interface for
students, scientists and clinicians with a realistic and critical
evaluation of the advances and problems in the implementation of
immunologically based prophylactic and therapeutic strategies in
HPV-associated disease. This book should be of use to postgraduate
students, research scientists and clinicians involved in eith
This book initially was conceived in 1986 by Weary and Harvey as a
revi sion and update of their 1981 Perspectives on Attributional
Processes (pub lished by Wm. C. Brown," Dubuque, Iowa). However:
toe extensive nature of recent work on attributional processes and
the opportunity to collabo rate with Melinda Stanley as a coauthor
led to a plan to develop a more comprehensive work than the 1981
book. It definitely is an amalgam of our interests in social and
clinical psychology. It represents our commitment to basic
theoretical and empirical inquiry blended with the applications of
ideas and methods to understanding attribution in more naturalistic
set tings, and as it unfolds in the lives of different kinds of
people coping with diverse problems of living. The book represents
a commitment also to the breadth of approach to attribution
questions epitomized by Fritz Heider's uniquely creative mind and
work in pioneering the area. To us, the attribu tional approach is
not a sacrosanct school of thought on the human condi tion. It is,
rather, a body of ideas and findings that we find to be highly
useful in our work as social (JH and GW) and clinical (GW and MS)
psychology scholars. It is an inviting approach that, as we shall
describe in the book, brings together ideas and work from different
fields in psychology-all concerned with the pervasive and
inestimab1e importance of interpretive activity in human experience
and behavior."
"Paths to Peace" begins by developing a theory about the domestic
obstacles to making peace and the role played by shifts in states'
governing coalitions in overcoming these obstacles. In particular,
it explains how the longer the war, the harder it is to end,
because domestic obstacles to peace become institutionalized over
time. Next, it tests this theory with a mixed methods
approach--through historical case studies and quantitative
statistical analysis. Finally, it applies the theory to an in-depth
analysis of the ending of the Korean War. By analyzing the domestic
politics of the war's major combatants--the Soviet Union, the
United States, China, and North and South Korea--it explains why
the final armistice terms accepted in July 1953 were little
different from those proposed at the start of negotiations in July
1951, some 294,000 additional battle-deaths later.
Creating Military Power examines how societies, cultures, political
structures, and the global environment affect countries' military
organizations. Unlike most analyses of countries' military power,
which focus on material and basic resources-such as the size of
populations, technological and industrial base, and GNP-this volume
takes a more expansive view. The study's overarching argument is
that states' global environments and the particularities of their
cultures, social structures, and political institutions often
affect how they organize and prepare for war, and ultimately impact
their effectiveness in battle. The creation of military power is
only partially dependent on states' basic material and human
assets. Wealth, technology, and human capital certainly matter for
a country's ability to create military power, but equally important
are the ways a state uses those resources, and this often depends
on the political and social environment in which military activity
takes place.
