World Regional Geography is an exciting science that encompasses a
wealth of information regarding geographical landscapes, cultural
traditions, population patterns and economic resources.
"Contemporary World Regional Geography," 4e provides a current,
balanced geographical study of world issues through analysis of ten
world regions and the countries in each. The authors integrate the
themes of "global connections" and "local voices" and utilize a
consistent structure within each chapter. Each chapter is organized
to begin with environmental issues of the region followed by
historical geography, which lead into the sections on the modern
global era. The latter part of each chapter continues to be devoted
to subregional subdivisions.

This metaphysical portrait of Henry VIII and the six women in
his life contrasts this king, the epitome of Renaissance man, with
modern liberal thought and concludes that humanism is dead in the
twentieth century. Henry remains the same throughout but the women
progress in their dress to modern times, showing their knowledge of
the lasting effects of Henry's thoughts.
"Original, stimulating and mature.... A compact, well written
play that asks some cogent questions and provides disturbing
answers." -N.Y. Times
The rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union
intensified as Dwight D. Eisenhower entered the White House.
However, the burning question for the vast majority of the world's
population was not whether they would join the 'Free World' or the
Soviet bloc, but whether they could achieve meaningful
self-determination. Nowhere did the answer to that question loom
larger than in Africa. The Eisenhower administration's
confrontation with Africa demonstrates the significance of race in
the creation and execution of American foreign policy. In this new
work, historian George White, Jr. explores the ways in which
Eisenhower diplomacy, influenced by America's racialized fantasies,
fears, and desires, turned the Cold War into a global sanctuary for
the rehabilitation of Whiteness. In turn, American statesmen and
bureaucrats justified the undermining of democracy and freedom by
stuffing the multi-faceted realities of African aspirations and
Western privileges into the straitjacket of a bi-polar worldview.
Using as its foundation American relations with Ethiopia, Ghana,
South Africa, and the Congo, Holding the Line demonstrates the
power of race to warp perception and to severely limit the
parameters and possibilities of human engagement. Holding the Line
provides a fresh perspective on 1950s era U.S. foreign relations
that remain salient in American diplomacy today. This is a book
that will be of interest to students of American diplomatic
history, Critical Race and Whiteness studies, American studies, and
international relations.
Why are some teams, businesses, countries and cultures successful
and enduring, and some not? The book describes practical
applications of collective intelligence, and unlocks the secrets of
highly successful teams at all levels in corporations and
governments. Well-known companies are analysed, and the reasons for
their success or decline explained. The Mystery of Collective
Intelligence proposes a new theory of organizational intelligence,
explaining how organizational intelligence lies behind AI, robotics
and the accelerating automation that is revolutionizing industry
around the world. The book explains how organizations themselves
can improve their decision-making cultures. The Mystery of
Collective Intelligence describes the scientific basis for
collective decision-making, and discusses how ethical and socially
responsible corporate objectives lead to increased innovation and
information sharing, which ultimately leads to improved economic
success.
