One major dilemma regarding US foreign policy is when and how the
US should address human rights around the globe and what
responsibility exists for the US to promote human rights in the
countries that receive US aid. Does US policy for foreign
assistance really address human rights or is it merely another
instrument in the US foreign policy toolbox? This insightful book
addresses several key themes and questions revolving around the
complex nature of US foreign policy and human rights. It examines
US foreign policy and human rights, as well as the evolution of US
assistance, and includes empirical evidence and case studies of
Plan Colombia, Turkey and the war on terror, India and Pakistan. It
closes with a look at the future of foreign aid.

In an era that plays host to war, terrorism, civil unrest, and
economic uncertainty, it is more vital than ever to think
critically about the ways in which violence is framed, mediated and
regulated through representations. This book explores the
variegated forms violence can take, not only physical but abstract,
emotional and virtual, and directed not only against bodies but
buildings, faiths, cultures, and classes. With essays by experts in
literature, film, drama, art, and philosophy, Violence and the
Limits of Representation contributes to a richer understanding of
violence and its effects. This collection not only offers insight
into the challenges and ethical issues involved in the
representation of violence but, through a concern with the
socio-political contexts of violence, offers a unique set of
perspectives on the conflicts and concerns of the present.
Violence and the Limits of Representation explores the
representation of violence in literature, film, drama, music and
art in order to demonstrate the ways in which the work done by
researchers in the Arts and Humanities can offer fresh perspectives
on current social and political issues.
The discovery of hyperbolic geometry, and the subsequent proof that
this geometry is just as logical as Euclid's, had a profound in
fluence on man's understanding of mathematics and the relation of
mathematical geometry to the physical world. It is now possible,
due in large part to axioms devised by George Birkhoff, to give an
accurate, elementary development of hyperbolic plane geometry.
Also, using the Poincare model and inversive geometry, the
equiconsistency of hyperbolic plane geometry and euclidean plane
geometry can be proved without the use of any advanced mathematics.
These two facts provided both the motivation and the two central
themes of the present work. Basic hyperbolic plane geometry, and
the proof of its equal footing with euclidean plane geometry, is
presented here in terms acces sible to anyone with a good
background in high school mathematics. The development, however, is
especially directed to college students who may become secondary
teachers. For that reason, the treatment is de signed to emphasize
those aspects of hyperbolic plane geometry which contribute to the
skills, knowledge, and insights needed to teach eucli dean geometry
with some mastery."

The types of plants and animals that live on seashores in temperate
regions are similar around the globe, but many of the individual
species in south-eastern Australia are found only in this region.
Field Guide to the Seashores of South-Eastern Australia features
colour photographs, descriptions and ecological notes for around
240 species of the more common plants and animals found on rocky,
sandy and muddy shores along the coastline from Port Lincoln, South
Australia, to the Hawkesbury River, New South Wales, and Tasmania.
This guide will allow beachgoers to learn interesting details about
the plants and animals they come across, while also having
sufficient scientific detail for natural history enthusiasts and
biology students to develop their understanding of these shore
ecosystems.
"Cellular Physiology of Nerve and Muscle" offers a state of the art
introduction to the basic physical, electrical, and chemical
principles central to the function of nerve and muscle cells. The

potential, then clearly illustrates the cellular physiology of
nerve cells and muscle cells. Throughout, this new edition
simplifies difficult concepts with accessible models and
straightforward descriptions of experimental results.
The fourth edition of Cellular Physiology of Nerve and Muscle
features new material including:
- An all-new introduction to electrical signaling in the nervous
system
- Expanded coverage of synaptic transmission and synaptic
plasticity

Since at least the time of Plato's "Republic," the relationship
between poetry and ethics has been troubled. Through the prism of
what has been called the "new" ethical criticism, inspired by the
work of Emmanuel Levinas, G. Matthew Jenkins considers the works of
Objectivists, Black Mountain poets, and Language poets in light of
their full potential to reshape this ancient relationship.
American experimental poetry is usually read in either political
or moral terms. "Poetic Obligation," by contrast, considers the
poems of Louis Zukofsky, Charles Reznikoff, George Oppen, Edward
Dorn, Robert Duncan, Susan Howe, and Lyn Hejinian in terms of the
philosophical notion of ethical obligation to the Other in
language. Jenkins's historical trajectory enables him to consider
the full breadth of ethical topics that have driven theoretical
debate since the end of World War II. This original approach
establishes an ethical lineage in the works of twentieth-century
experimental poets, creating a way to reconcile the breach between
poetry and the issue of ethics in literature at large.
With implications for a host of social issues, including ethnicity
and immigration, economic inequities, and human rights, Jenkins's
imaginative reconciliation of poetry and ethics will provide
stimulating reading for teachers and scholars of American
literature as well as advocates and devotees of poetry in general.
"Poetic Obligation" marshals ample evidence that poetry matters and
continues to speak to the important issues of our day.
Samuel Pepys is as much a paragon of literature as Chaucer and
Shakespeare. His Diary is one of the principal sources for many
aspects of the history of its period. In spite of its significance,
all previous editions were inadequately edited and suffered from a
number of omissions--until Robert Latham and William Matthews went
back to the 300-year-old original manuscript and deciphered each
passage and phrase, no matter how obscure or indiscreet.
The "Diary" deals with some of the most dramatic events in English
history. Pepys witnessed the London Fire, the Great Plague, the
Restoration of Charles II, and the Dutch Wars. He was a patron of
the arts, having himself composed many delightful songs and
participated in the artistic life of London. His flair for gossip
and detail reveals a portrait of the times that rivals the most
swashbuckling and romantic historical novels. In none of the
earlier versions was there a reliable, full text, with commentary
and notation with any claim to completeness. This edition, first
published in 1970, is the first in which the entire diary is
printed with systematic comment. This is the only complete edition
available; it is as close to Pepys's original as possible.
