For the first time, using original sources and his own reporting
going back to 1972 when he met Kim Dae Jung at his home in Seoul,
Donald Kirk explores the great untold story of modern Korean
history. This book recounts the rise of Kim Dae Jung from an
oppressed region of Korea, beginning with his schooldays, his
activities in the Korean War and his entry into politics. The book
addresses his populist politics, his ascent to the national stage
and his encounters first with the dictators who tried to take his
life and then had him tried and sentenced to death for the Kwangju
revolt. The book outlines DJ's life in exile in the United States,
his great return to Korea and his entry into presidential politics
climaxed by his election in 1997 at the height of economic crisis.
Focusing on DJ's Sunshine policy, his summit with North Korea's Kim
Jong Il and his drive for the Nobel, the book tells the story of
payments that brought about the summit and the prize as well as the
corruption that ensnared his sons and top aides.
For years we have known that teenagers' peers influence their
substance use. This book tells you how. It is not a simple
explanation: it is based on the teenagers' own selection of peers
and, in turn, the influence of those peers, but, in between, is the
formation of social networks and the patterning of their peer ties.
Chain reaction in teenagers' substance use result from the
selection of peers, the patterning of peer ties and peer
influence.
This book investigates for the first time the parallels between two
island appendages of much larger governments - Okinawa, Japan's
southernmost island prefecture, in ferment over historic US bases;
Jeju embroiled over a new South Korean naval base. The people of
Okinawa and Jeju share a common fear of bloody conflict again
erupting around them and suspect their governments would sacrifice
their interests in a much larger war in a fight for regional
control between the US, Japan, and China.
It is now widely recognized that the physical environment has an
impact on the physiology, psychology, and sociology of those who
experience it. When designing a critical care unit, the demands on
the architect or designer working together with the
interdisciplinary team of clinicians are highly specialized. Good
design can have a hugely positive impact in terms of the recovery
of patients and their hospital experience as a whole. Good design
can also contribute to productivity and quality of the work
experience for the staff. Design for Critical Care presents a
thorough and insightful guide to the very best practice in
intensive care design, focusing on design that has been successful
and benefi cial to both hospital staff and hospital patients. By
making the connection between research evidence and design
practice, Hamilton and McCuskey Shepley present an holistic
approach that outlines the future for successful design for
critical care settings.

Marketing such controversial products as cigarettes, alcoholic
beverages, gambling casinos, firearms, and pornography entails a
host of issues not faced by marketers working in industries that do
not stir political or social opposition. Davidson discusses the
reasons for antagonism within each industry, suggests ways for
marketers to counter such criticism or to work around it given the
restraints imposed, and explains how specific marketing practices
can actually lead to increased hostility in the marketplace. This
second edition features a new chapter on specific problems that
each industry faces in online marketing, which has exploded in
certain cases, especially in gambling and pornography. In addition,
the new edition updates the legal environment in which each
industry operates.

Evidence-based design, which bases design decisions on the best
available current research evidence, is gaining traction among
architects. Expanding the field from its origins in healthcare to
other building types such as education, criminal justice,
commercial, industrial, and places of worship, this book introduces
design professionals to the concept of evidence-based design and
its use in the creation of high performance environments. It
focuses on the methods by which design professionals and their
clients can create better buildings by critically interpreting the
implications of credible research and careful observation of
completed projects. Drawing a direct link between evidence and
application, the authors provide examples of credible research that
supports evidence-based design are presented, as well as specific
applications and case study examples.

During World War II, the French Resistance played a vital role in
the Allied victory. Supported by Brittain's Special Operations
Executive in London, Resistance networks were formed, led and
equipped by SOE agents. The Auduc family provided essential support
to the network formed around Le Mans, France, by an American OSS
agent and a French SOE agent. The Auduc's oldest son, Jean-Jacques,
became the youngest Resistance fighter to be awarded the Croix de
Guerre. He was also awarded the U. S. Medal of Freedom and the
French Legion of Honor for heroism as a 12 year old. Other members
of this heroic family were similarly distinguished. The downing of
two B-17's on July 4, 1943, brought the Auduc's face to face with
the five surviving U. S. airmen and changed each other's lives
forever as the airmen were first sheltered and then repatriated to
England. The graves of those airmen who perished were resolutely
guarded by French citizens. The Auduc family and their fellow
resistants teach us how much people will sacrifice to gain freedom
from an oppressor. American, British, Canadian and French worked in
cloaked secrecy and harmony to rid the world of the greatest evil
in recorded history. U. S. airman Sgt. David Butcher stayed with
the Resistance for eight months, training its members in the use of
the weapons parachuted to them. Other downed airmen were assisted
by underground networks to escape to Spain and eventual
repatriation to England. American Army Captain and OSS member Fred
Floege twice parachuted into France on missions for the SOE. During
his second mission, he organized and led a large group of
resistants in the east of France who stymied German movements
before and during the D-Day landings. This is a true, previously
untold story of undaunted resistance to the Nazis. Alfred Auduc
awes with his reckless determination to thwart the Nazis even while
imprisoned in concentration camps along with his brother and other
resistants from his region. His mother at age 66 harbors a radio
transmitter and its operator while receiving munitions drops on her
farm. The end of the War is not the end of the Auduc's story.
Through them we learn how the Marshall plan helped to restart
European's lives. But we also learn how the deep scars of their
incarceration pain them throughout their lives. For many years,
Jean-Jacques Auduc has belonged to a French association whose
mission is to remember Allied sacrifices to liberate their country.
Jean-Jacques relates his story to French school children; he
proudly carries the American flag at commemorative events; and, he
restores and maintains Allied monuments. Jean-Jacques chooses to
use his meager funds in this way rather than on a TV set or a
computer or the internet or other comforts. Perhaps the proceeds
from this book may allow him some comforts in his eighties. My
wife, Claire, who translated the several bios which are included in
this book, Jean-Jacques, who so much wished to have his family's
and friends' stories preserved, and I thank you for your interest.
