Safeguards play a key role in verifying the effectiveness of restraints on the spread of nuclear weapons. Originally published in 1985, this book is a study of the safeguards system of the International Atomic Energy Agency, an important element of the non-proliferation regime. It breaks new ground by focusing on the politics of safeguards, especially the political problems of the IAEA and of the day-to-day application of safeguards. It contains a critical appraisal and proposals for ways of improving existing procedures, and of adapting them to the political and technological changes of recent years. Safeguarding the Atom gives an analysis of the following questions: What are IAEA safeguards and how do they work? How effective are they? How can they be reinforced? What sanctions can be imposed in the event of non-compliance? IAEA safeguards represent the world's first and so far only attempt to verify an arms control agreement by systematic on-site inspection, and their applicability to other arms control measures is examined.

The 1950s marked a transformative period in postwar American history. In baseball, one dynasty was the story during the decade. The New York Yankees played in eight World Series from 1950 to 1959, winning six of them. Yankees icon Joe DiMaggio retired following the 1951 season, but a new super star, Mickey Mantle, took over in Yankee Stadium's center field in 1952. Mantle, the powerful switch-hitter who blasted tape-measure home runs and was often tortured by leg ailments, became the number one box office draw in baseball. He was the American League's most valuable player in 1956 and 1957, putting together a triple crown season in 1956. Mantle came into baseball when television was just catching on, and with the Yankees reaching the World Series and appearing on national TV seemingly every season, he became the face of the game during the decade. Mantle joined with his pals, pitcher Whitey Ford and infielder Billy Martin, to form a hard-partying trio that would be a joy and a pain to management. The author of several books on the Yankees, David Fischer brings expertise and a knack for great story-telling to the saga of the most dominant decade in the annals of sport, set during a defining moment in U.S. history.

What do arms control and disarmament mean for the political order of the world, and how does nuclear proliferation relate to them? What are the prospects for global order in a world of unequal states? These questions provide the general point of departure for this book. Specifically. the book briefly recounts the development of global nuclear non-proliferation policies, and the test ban issue, followed by a detailed examination of the developments between the Third and Fourth NPT Review Conferences. The organization and work of the Fourth NPT Review Conference are outlined, and the issues as they appeared in the general debate are surveyed. The work of the various committees charged with producing a consensus in the most contested areas is reviewed, and the final outcome is discussed. The significance of the PTBT Amendment Conference is assessed, beginning with the controversies which existed at the outset. Both the Meeting in May-June 1990 and the Conference itself in January 1991 are reviewed. The consequences of the 1991 Persian Gulf War for the non-proliferation regime are considered, as are the responses of the international community to the proliferation-relevant aspects of this dramatic international event. The final chapter of the book addresses several questions. What are the prospects for extending the NPT in 1995? Are there serious prospects for progress in further curtailment of nuclear testing? If so, how does this affect the future of the NPT? Finally, this book attempts to draw conclusions concerning the prospects for establishing reliable, tenable and enforceable world-wide rules for the control and reduction of weapons of mass destruction.

In modern professional sports history, only a handful of elite players have spent their entire career with one franchise. The fact that Tom Brady has spent nearly two decades with one team, together with his on-field excellence, has formed an unbreakable bond with fans of the New England Patriots. Selected as the 199th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft, Brady is arguably the greatest quarterback in pro football history. He has six Super Bowl rings, four Super Bowl MVP awards, and is a three-time NFL MVP. Now playing in his twentieth NFL season, he is one of the longest-tenured players in league history. Author David Fischer celebrates Brady's career with passionate and vivid prose, supreme photographic images, call-out quotes, and boxed features. In addition, dozens of personal anecdotes and recollections about Brady from prominent members of the Patriots organization and the NFL community enhance the nostalgic experience.

Dominant male rodents exhibit increased rates of neuron formation (neurogenesis) compared to subordinate rodents. Elevated testosterone levels lead to similar increases in neurogenesis. Because dominant rodents frequently exhibit elevated testosterone levels, individual differences in testosterone production may underlie dominance-related neurogenesis. However, other aspects of dominance hierarchies, such as stress, may also contribute to differences in neurogenesis. The current study aimed to determine the relative contribution of these hormonal and social factors to dominance-related neurogenesis by dissociating them.

Mal affektiert, mitunter versteckt, manchmal auch scheinbar beilaufig passiert sie, die Selbstinszenierung des Autors Christian Kracht. Ob im medialen Verwirrspiel um sein wahres Ich, bei der asthetischen Selbststilisierung in seinen Texten oder als Grenzganger zwischen Autor, Figur und Erzahler in Romanen wie Faserland" Kracht beherrscht die Mechanismen der Aufmerksamkeit auf vielfaltige Weise. Wie inszeniert sich Kracht auf den Fotos seiner Bucher? Welche Spuren zur Autor-Figur kann man auf den Umschlagseiten entdecken? Und welche Strategien verfolgt der Autor in Facebook? Die vorliegende Studie analysiert diese Aspekte auf Grundlage des nach Gerard Genette entwickelten Konzepts des Paratextes. Besondere Beachtung schenkt die Untersuchung dem Wikipedia-Eintrag des Schriftstellers. Daraus geht hervor, dass Christian Kracht wahrscheinlich sein Profil an signifikanten Stellen heimlich selbst geandert hat. Die Studie zur Autor-Inszenierung gehort zu den wenigen ihrer Art, die sich auf eine breite theoretische Grundlage zur Theorie der Autorschaft und Performanz stutzt - von Roland Barthes und Michel Foucault bis zu Gabriele Klein, Dirk Niefanger und Erika Fischer-Lichte.

Auf der Handlungsstruktur von Joseph Conrads Heart of Darkness erzahlt Kracht eine Geschichte, die es so nicht gegeben hat, er verwendet die Motive unzahliger literarischer Vorbilder, verkehrt den Wertekatalog des westlichen Moralverstandnisses, wobei er all diese Elemente in Gestalt einer Was-ware-wenn-Welt wieder neu zusammensetzt. Dem Schweizer Schriftsteller geht es dabei um Denkgebaude im Umbruch.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 1,0, Universitat Stuttgart, Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Die Untersuchung zu Christian Krachts Selbstinszenierung gehort zu den wenigen ihrer Art, die ihre Uberlegungen auf eine breite theoretische Grundlage stutzt. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Krachts Selbstdarstellung im Beiwerk der Bucher sowie die inszenierte Autor-Figur im Internet. Die Studie bewegt sich zwischen Theorien von Autorschaft, zur Analyse dienen strukturalistische und medienwissenschaftliche Methoden. Besonderen Fokus wird auf den Wikipedia-Eintrag von Christian Kracht gelenkt: Dabei wird offenbar, dass der Schriftsteller sein Wiki-Profil hochstwahrscheinlich mehrmals selbst geandert hat., Abstract: Der Literaturwissenschaft fehle es schlichtweg an Stil," einem Schriftsteller wie ihm gerecht zu werden, urteilte einmal Mara Delius in der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung. Er fasziniert, begeistert und irritiert, heisst es wiederum an einer anderen Stelle, in der Einleitung eines Sammelbands zu Leben und Werk des Schweizers. Und in der Suddeutschen Zeitung konnte man lesen, seine stete Rede vom Werteverfall und einer Identitatskrise des modernen Subjekts, sein Gebaren als postmoderner Dandy' und reaktionarer Schnosel'" besitze Kalkul. Summa Summarum lassen sich die Aussagen auf eine ubertragbare Formel bringen: Wie kaum ein anderer deutschsprachiger Autor seiner Zeit schafft es Christian Kracht, die Medien zum Tanzen zu bringen" (Suddeutsche Zeitung). Fur viele ist er ein Buch mit sieben Siegeln. Das Interesse an seiner Person steht dem Interesse an seinen Bestsellern in nichts nach. Fakt ist: Wo Interpretationen enden, wo die Sinnsuche zu Zugangen zu Leben und Werk beginnt kommt Krachts offeriertes Identitatsangebot ins Spiel. Ein Angebot von Informationen verpackt als Inszenierungsstrategien, die sich anschicken, jene Leerstellen im Autorprofil fullen zu wollen, welche sich Lesern durch einfache Deutunge
