In the aftermath of the turmoil that shook North Africa in late 2010 and early 2011, commentators and analysts have sought explanations to the factors that triggered the uprisings and to understand why a region, seemingly characterized by relative stability for decades, would suddenly erupt in convulsions. Had an underlying dynamism in the region overwhelmed what were ostensibly stable authoritarian regimes? What were the connections to events and dynamics beyond the region, such as countries in the Middle East, international commodity markets, and environmental factors, amongst others? Why had allies abetted authoritarianism for so long, and what were the implications for such alliances? North African Politics: Change and continuity brings together experts to explore these questions, providing in-depth analyses of important developments in the region, which build upon and complement the 2008 companion volume, North Africa: Politics, Region and the Limits of Transformation. This 21-chapter volume is a key contribution that responds to the need in the Anglo-American sphere for sustained, critical studies on North Africa and examines political, economic, security, social and military aspects of the region. Focused studies on individual countries allow detailed discussion of regional factors. The book also examines extrinsic, trans-regional dynamics, such as North Africa's influential interdependencies with the Levant and the Gulf, Europe, Sahelian and sub-Saharan Africa, and North America. Its innovative approach provides new perspectives on North Africa, extending its research scope to include Egypt and exploring China's evolving role in the region. Providing an important contribution in the assessment of the ever-shifting political and social tectonics within and beyond North Africa, North African Politics is an essential resource for students, scholars and policy makers in Middle Eastern and North African Studies, and beyond.

Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith, who galvanized readers with
their Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Jackson Pollock, have
written another tour de force--an exquisitely detailed,
compellingly readable portrait of Vincent van Gogh. Working with
the full cooperation of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Naifeh
and Smith have accessed a wealth of previously untapped materials
to bring a crucial understanding to the larger-than-life mythology
of this great artist: his early struggles to find his place in the
world; his intense relationship with his brother Theo; and his move
to Provence, where he painted some of the best-loved works in
Western art. The authors also shed new light on many unexplored
aspects of Van Gogh's inner world: his erratic and tumultuous
romantic life; his bouts of depression and mental illness; and the
cloudy circumstances surrounding his death at the age of
thirty-seven.
On October 15, 1985, two pipe bombs shook the calm of Salt Lake
City, Utah, killing two people. The only link-both victims belonged
to the Mormon Church. The next day, a third bomb was detonated in
the parked car of church-going family man, Mark Hoffman.
Incredibly, he survived. It wasn't until authorities questioned the
strangely evasive Hoffman that another, more shocking link between
the victims emerged...
In the modern era, two types of international migration have consumed our attention: politically induced migration to flee war, genocide, and instability, and migration for economic reasons. Recently, though, another force has generated a new wave of refugees-global warming. Climate change has altered terrains and economies throughout the tropical regions of the world, from sub-Saharan Africa to Central America to South and Southeast Asia. In Climate Change and Migration: Security and Borders in a Warming World, Greg White provides a rich account of the phenomenon. Focusing on climate-induced migration from Africa to Europe, White shows how global warming's impact on international relations has been significant, enhancing the security regimes in not only the advanced economies of the North Atlantic, but in the states that serve as transit points between the most advanced and most desperate nations. Furthermore, he demonstrates that climate change has altered the way the nations involved view their own sovereignty, as tightening or defining borders in both Europe and North Africa leads to an increase of the state's reaches over society. White closes by arguing that a serious and comprehensive program to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change is the only long-term solution. With an in-depth coverage of both environmental and border policy from a global perspective, Climate Change and Migration provides a provocative and much-needed link between two of the most pressing issues in contemporary international politics.
