This book makes extensive use of Soviet sources to provide the
first full analysis of Moscow's ballistic missile defence policy
from its origins to the most recent post-Soviet developments. It
considers the Soviets' motivations for pursuing an anti-ballistic
missile capability and the extent of their success, and reveals
that ballistic missile defence policy was used by every political
leadership from Krushchev to Yeltsin as a means of sending signals
about Moscow's intentions to the West.
"The Russian Nuclear Shield from Stalin to Yeltsan" makes extensive
use of Soviet and Russian sources to provide the first full
analysis of Moscow's ballistic missile defense policy from its
origins to the most recent post-Soviet developments. It considers
the Soviets' motivations for pursuing an Anti-Ballistic Missile
(ABM) capability and the extent of their success, and reveals that
ballistic missile defense policy was used by every political
leadership as a means of sending signals about Moscow's intentions
to the West.
This text examines evolving trends in democracy at EU and UK
levels, pointing out the primary shortcomings of both. It examines
the relationship between the democratic practices of the EU and the
UK, explaining the paradox of the way in which the EU, despite the
poor quality of its own democracy, has enabled devolved
decision-making in a novel multilayer polity. The book also
considers future prospects for converged Western European democracy
in the light of the Labour government's popularizing agenda.
Radiophannaceutical research has recently undergone a major change
in direction. In past years it has been concerned mainly with the
development of perfusion tracers, the biodistribution of which
reflect the regional blood flow to areas of major organs such as
the heart and brain. However, a major new direction of interest now
lies in the development of receptor-binding radio-tracers which can
be used to perform in-vivo characterisation of diseased tissues and
it is likely that much of the future research in this field will
follow this direction. The difficulties in developing such tracers
are considerable. The researcher must first identify a promising
target for radiopharmaceutical development. High specific activity
radioactive molecules must be designed and synthesised which will
both bind to the target receptor with high affinity, and also have
the physicochemical characteristics which will allow them to reach
the target site in sufficient quantity while at the same time
showing minimal uptake in non-target tissues. Thus the knowledge
base required for radiophannaceutical development has now expanded
beyond the limits of radiopharmaceutical chemistry to include
aspects of biochemistry, molecular biology and conventional drug
design. The portfolio of basic knowledge required to support
current radiopharmaceutical development is changing and scientists
working in this arena need to be trained in this regard. At the
same time, the very latest developments in the field need to be
communicated to the scientific community in order to stimulate the
advancement of this exciting new direction of research.
The contents of this volume are based upon presentations made to
the Second European Symposium on Radiopharmacy and
Radiopharmaceuticals which was held in St. Catharine's College
Cambridge in March 1985. This meeting was organized by the
Radiopharmacy Group of the British Nuclear Medicine Society under
the auspices of the European Joint Committee on Radio
pharmaceuticals of the ENMS / SNME. The Joint Committee
acknowledges the special effort which was made by the local
organizers to prepare this meeting the quality of which is
undoubtedly reflected in the proceedings. The wide ranging aspects
of Radiopharmacy are reflected in this volume which not only deals
with specialized topics, such as aerosols and biodistribution
studies, but which also deals with the professional aspects of
Radiopharmacy Practice. We are of the opinion that this book
complements earlier publications to give an ongoing picture of the
practice of Radiopharmacy and the state of the art in Europe. As
well as acknowledging the contribution of the British
Radiopharmacists I would also mention the support of my co chairman
Prof. Dr M.G. Woldring, the members of the Joint Committee and last
but not least Mrs. M. Busker, who prepared the camera ready copy.

A study in EU legitimacy from the perspective of EU citizens. It
argues that legitimacy is empirical: "legitimacy only exists if
people "feel" that it does." The book points out that the EU is a
unique and dynamic institution, hence legitimating factors are also
evolutionary. The book shows that liberal democracy has not
established EU legitimacy - hence it looks at new forms of input
and performance to examine prospects for new forms of legitimating
the EU.
Almost from the first days of seafaring, men have used ships for
“spying” and intelligence collection. Since early in the
twentieth century, with the technological advancements of radio and
radar, the U.S. Navy and other government agencies and many other
navies have used increasingly specialized ships and submarines to
ferret out the secrets of other nations. The United States and the
Soviet Union/Russia have been the leaders in those efforts,
especially during the forty-five years of the Cold War. But, as
Norman Polmar and Lee J. Mathers reveal, so has China, which has
become a major maritime power in the twenty-first century, with
special interests in the South China Sea and with increasing
hostility toward the United States. Through extensive, meticulous
research and through the lens of such notorious spy ship events as
the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, the North Korean capture of
the USS Pueblo, and the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency’s
success in clandestinely salvaging part of a Soviet submarine with
the Hughes Glomar Explorer, Spy Ships is a fascinating and valuable
resource for understanding maritime intelligence collection and
what we have learned from it.

Tom Young wants to make a difference in the world. He joins the
Peace Corps and is sent to an impoverished farm community in remote
southern Chile where a reforestation project is the campesinos'
only hope for a better future. Tom finds himself in a
breathtakingly beautiful land from a bygone era. Horses and oxen
provide transportation, light is from kerosene lamps, and water is
fetched with buckets from springs. He is drawn to the closeness of
Chilean family life, and desperately wants to fit in as he
struggles with the language and customs. Fighting depression and
loneliness, he slowly adapts, but is shocked when brutal acts of
violence rock the community. Tom's bonds are truly forged with this
forgotten world when he embarks on the seemingly impossible task of
building a new road into the campo. What he doesn't anticipate is
the relationship that develops with a beautiful young woman, a
relationship that will provide the key to Tom's heartwarming - and
heartbreaking - acceptance into the community.
