The concept of 'othering' which can be understood as the process of
differentiation from the Self has been a basic tenet of the war
story since war stories were first told. This practise of
deliberate differentiation is indicative of the fact that war
stories are essentially about the production of identity. The aim
of this book, therefore, is to unravel some of the gendered
ideologies that underpin the link between state identity and
foreign security policy by looking at a certain case, state and
foreign security policy. In particular this volume explores the
identity of the United States through military documents on
perception management in conflict from 1991-2007 shedding light on
the 'othering' and the 'selfing' that occurs in these particular
war stories. In doing so it lays bare the gendered ideologies that
underpins US identity between these years as well as exploring
potential spaces for alternatives. Thus, this book ventures a
detailed and unique look at a particular aspect of the gendered
reproduction of the state.

Molecular Sieves - Science and Technology covers, in a
comprehensive manner, the science and technology of zeolites and
all related microporous and mesoporous materials. Authored by
renowned experts, the contributions are grouped together topically
in such a way that each volume of the book series deals with a
specific sub-field. Volume 4 covers the characterization of
molecular sieves with the help of the most important spectroscopic
techniques (Characterization I), i.e. IR, Raman, NMR, EPR, UV-VIS
Spectroscopy, X-ray absorption, photoelectron and M ssbauer
Spectroscopy. Theory, experiment and application in selected
examples are discussed.

The childhood obesity epidemic in America is a national health
crisis. One in every three children aged 2 to 19 is overweight or
obese. The life-threatening consequences of this epidemic create a
compelling and critical call for action that cannot be ignored.
Obesity is estimated to cause 112,000 deaths per year in the United
States, and one third of all children born in the year 2000 are
expected to develop diabetes during their lifetime. The current
generation may even be on track to have a shorter lifespan than
their parents. This book focuses on the research and scientific
information on the causes and consequences of childhood obesity
which form the platform on which to build our national policies and
partner with the private sector to end the childhood obesity
epidemic.
