This new Handbook provides readers with the tools to understand the
evolution of transatlantic security from the Cold War era to the
early 21st century. After World War II, the US retained a strong
presence as the dominant member of NATO throughout the Cold War.
Former enemies, such as Germany, became close allies, while even
countries that often criticized the United States made no serious
attempt to break with Washington. This pattern of security
co-operation continued after the end of the Cold War, with NATO
expansion eastwards extending US influence. Despite the Iraq war
prompting a seemingly irreparable transatlantic confrontation, the
last years of the Bush administration witnessed a warming of
US-European relations, expected to continue with the Obama
administration. The contributors address the following key
questions arising from the history of transatlantic security
relations: What lies behind the growing and continuing European
dependency on security policy on the United States and what are the
political consequences of this? Is this dependency likely to
continue or will an independent European Common Foreign and
Security Policy eventually emerge? What has been the impact of
'out-of-area' issues on transatlantic security cooperation? The
essays in this Handbook cover a broad range of historical and
contemporary themes, including the founding of NATO; the impact of
the Korean War; the role of nuclear (non-)proliferation;
perspectives of individual countries (especially France and
Germany); the impact of culture, identity and representation in
shaping post-Cold War transatlantic relations; institutional
issues, particularly EU-NATO relations; the Middle East; and the
legacy of the Cold War, notably tensions with Russia. This Handbook
will be of much interest to students of transatlantic security,
NATO, Cold War Studies, foreign policy and IR in general.
Representative selections from Restoration and eighteenth-century
drama, comedy, satire, tragedy, and farce are prefaced by
descriptions of the theaters, acting styles, methods of play
production, and audiences.
The much-acclaimed present-day philosophical turn to the letters of
Saint Paul points to a profound consonance between ancient and
modern thought. Such is the bold claim of this study in which
scholars from contemporary continental philosophy, new testamentary
studies and ancient philosophy discuss with each other the meaning
Paul's terms pistis, faith. In this volume, this theme discusses in
detail the threefold relation between Paul and (1) continental
thought, (2) the Graeco-Roman world, and (3) political theology. It
is shown that pistis does not only concern a mode of knowing, but
rather concerns the human ethos or mode of existence as a whole.
Moreover, it is shown that the present-day political theological
interest in Paul can be seen as an attempt to recuperate Paul's
pistis in this comprehensive sense. Finally, an important
discussion concerning the specific ontological implications and
background of this reinterpretation of pistis is examined by
comparing the ancient ontological commitments to those of the
present-day philosophers. Thus, the volume offers an insight in a
crucial consonance of ancient and modern thought concerning the
question of pistis in Paul while not forgetting to stipulate
important differences.

Adaptive management is the recommended means for continuing
ecosystem management and use of natural resources, especially in
the context of 'integrated natural resource management'.
Conceptually, adaptive management is simply learning from past
management actions to improve future planning and management.
However, adaptive management has proved difficult to achieve in
practice.
With a view to facilitating better practice, this new book
presents lessons learned from case studies, to provide managers
with ready access to relevant information. Cases are drawn from a
number of disciplinary fields, including management of protected
areas, watersheds and farms, rivers, forests, biodiversity and
pests. Examples from Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada, the
UK and Europe are presented at a variety of scales, from individual
farms, through regional projects, to state-wide planning.
While the book is designed primarily for practitioners and
policy advisors in the fields of environmental and natural resource
management, it will also provide a valuable reference for students
and researchers with interests in environmental, natural resource
and conservation management.
Originally published in 1880, McGlashan's History of the Donner
Party remains in steady demand as an authoritative account of the
tragic episode. The editors have added newly discovered information
and photographs to their foreword, which is based on material in
family documents and on the authors own recollections. The name of
the Donner Party has come to symbolize the struggle of all
pioneers, for the Donner experiences were the acme of horror,
despair, and suffering. This chronicle is a towering tribute to the
band of pioneers who struggled over deserts and the High Sierra
toward California during the rugged winter of 1846-47. The
disasters they endured form a bold contrast to the comfort and
safety of the present-day Donner Lake region. Mr. McGlashan was a
contemporary of the Donner Party's children. From the many
survivors of the expedition whom he knew and interviewed, from a
personal knowledge of the route followed, from more than a thousand
letters written to him by survivors, and from consultations with
still-living authors of older works on the subject. McGlashan was
able to verify the facts and write a book from the point of view of
the survivors themselves.
