Originally published in 1979 Imperialism, Intervention and
Development provides an introduction to key issues in international
politics in the post-World War II era. The emphasis is on conflict
- particularly the confrontation between East and West and the
contention between rich industrialised nations and the poor
'developing' nations. The book debates the causes of Western
intervention, expansion and counter-revolution in the Third World
and the consequences of that intervention for economic development.
The spectrum and depth of the articles is both comprehensive and
varied, including examples of 'mainstream' academic perspectives on
the issues examined, incorporating many of the radical critiques of
these mainstream approaches. Other more basic material,
presupposing little prior knowledge in the field is concerned is
also included.

This is a new release of the original 1924 edition.
A Married Man's Survival Guide is a straight-shooting, no-nonsense
guide to what it takes to thrive and prosper as a man in a
long-term committed relationship. Based on the guidance of
"masters" who have 30 or more years of committed married life, the
Guide takes men through such things as preparing for life in this
wilderness called marriage to your personal "fitness" routine to
ensure lasting success. Along the way, the Guide deals with
handling your wife's emotions, dealing with her "upsets" and even
walks men through such touchy subjects as separation, divorce and
affairs. The concluding chapter contains "250 things you can do to
bring a smile to her face" and is based on a challenge the authors
gave a men's class they were teaching. The editor writes, "Smartly
written as a jungle survival manual, the Guide relies on generous
doses of tongue-in-cheek humor to move the reader along at a
comfortable pace with plenty of been-there-done-that candid
anecdotes add appeal and credibility."

"The Pure Lover "is David Plante's elegy to his beloved Nikos
Stangos, their forty-year life together, and its tragic end.
Written in vivid fragments that, like the pieces of a mosaic, come
together into a glimmering whole, it shows us both the wild nature
of grief and the intimate conversation that is love.

An original and radiant novel about grief, obsession, and the need
for meaning from the author of "The Family," a finalist for the
National Book Award.
When his young son dies in a freak accident, Gerard struggles to
find a reason in the smallest of details, including the scrap of
paper containing the Sanskrit alphabet that is found at the site.
Latching on to this final "clue," he delves into the origins of
Indo-European alphabets, his fascination taking him to England,
Greece, and finally, to an ancient site in the Syrian desert where
the alphabet was born some 4000 years ago. Along the way he meets
other grieving parents, who accompany him on a journey that extends
beyond historical knowledge and right into the heart of love and
loss.
