Terrorist organizations and international criminal networks pose an
increasingly severe danger to US security. Who are these rivals who
threaten us? What do they want to achieve? This book looks at
diverse groups such as Al Qaeda, its jihadist fellow travelers as
well as Hezbollah and its terrorist sponsor, Iran. Other chapters
examine Hamas, Jemaah Islamiyah, the FARC, the Mexican drug
cartels, and the criminal gang, Mara Salvatrucha 13. Pakistan,
where jihadists pose an extreme security threat, is another focus
as is a chapter on terrorist WMD threats. This look at sub-state
rivals is recommended to all serious students of international
security.

Wenn auch die Anzahl derjenigen, die den Inhalt dieses Buches
durcharbeiten und in sich aufnehmen werden, nicht allzu gross sein
wird, so meinten wir doch. es herausgeben zu mussen. Ausser bei
denjenigen, die auf dem Gebiet des Garten- baus arbeiten, wird es
zweifellos auch bei anderen Interesse finden. Durch die weitere
Entwicklung der Forschung ist es notwendig geworden, dass
diejenigen. die die Ergebnisse verarbeiten und die Folgerungen
daraus ziehen mussen, gut orientiert sind uber die Methoden, die
hierfur bestehen. Statt dass alle Unter- sucher sich in diese nicht
immer einfache Materie einarbeiteten, hielten wir es fur
wunschenswert, dass einer sich hierin spezialisierte. Alle
diejenigen, die diese Ergebnisse bei ihrer Arbeit noetig haben,
werden Herrn Dipl. -Ing. J. J. POST dankbar sein, dass er ihnen das
Ergebnis seiner Arbeit in dieser Form zur Verfugung stellt. A. W.
van de Plassehe. Vorwort zur deutschen Ausgabe. Die Bemuhungen um
eine richtige Deutung der Ergebnisse biologischer Unter- suchungen
haben in den vergangenen Jahren die Herausgabe einer Anzahl von
Lehrbuchern und kurzeren Anleitungen fur die statistische
Auswertung von Ver- suchsdaten veranlasst. Die groesseren Werke,
die sich mit den Grundlagen der biologischen Statistik befassen,
sind aber so umfangreich, dass vielen die Zeit fehlen wird, sie
grundlich durchzuarbeiten, wahrend die kurz gefassten Anleitungen
sich fast ausschliesslich mit den einfachen Methoden befassen, die
fur eine ausreichende Auswertung von umfangreichen Versuchsreihen
nicht genugen.

Following in the path of her distinguished Puritan forebears,
Hannah Mather Crocker used her skills as a writer primarily to
persuade. Unlike those forebears, however, she did not begin her
career as a published writer until well into middle age, after the
death of her husband, Joseph Crocker, and after having raised ten
children. The works collected here include previously unpublished
poetry, drama, memoirs, sermons, and essays on American identity,
education, and history, as well as the three texts published in her
lifetime. This volume is named for her most famous work,
"Observations on the Real Rights of Women." Originally published in
1818, it is widely considered the first published treatise on
women's rights written by an American woman and serves as a rare
example of women's views of their own roles within the early
American republic. This collection also mirrors the many changes
that occurred in the United States during the late eighteenth and
early nineteenth centuries, highlighting the shift in attitude
toward women's rights, education, and other reform movements as
well as the American Revolution. Crocker's writing provides a rare
and valuable window into the concerns of women who embodied
Enlightenment ideals during the years of the early republic.
