Going to War with Iraq: A Comparative History of the Bush
Presidencies is the account of two United States presidents and
their decision to intervene militarily in Iraq, examining the
comparative domestic and international contexts in which the
decisions to go to war were made by George H. W. Bush and his son
George W. Bush. This book centers specifically on the issue of
Saddam Hussein at home and abroad, in the lead up to hostilities
with Iraq in 1991 and 2003, respectively. For George H.W. Bush, in
1991, the threat posed by Saddam came from his perceived
capabilities as Iraq's leader, whereas for George W. Bush, in 2003,
it was the threat posed by Saddam's perceived intentions as Iraq's
leader. In both cases, the result was war with Iraq.

The Societies of Europe is an 8-title series of historical data
handbooks and accompanying CD-ROM sets, on the development of
Europe from the nineteenth to the twentieth century. The series is
a product of the Mannheim Centre for Social research, a body
dedicated to comparative research on Europe and one of the leading
social research institutes in the world. It is a collection of
datasets giving a clear and systematic study of long term
developments in European society. The data is presented
statistically and is clearly comparative. The Societies of Europe
is the most comprehensive data series available on Western European
social issues. Each book is accompanied by a CD-ROM containing data
sets not included in the text enabling users to manipulate the data
as wanted. Information is available in different programmes (Excel,
SPSS and SAS) and in data structures for analysis, viewing and
building time series. This comparative data handbook offers an
empirical base to a long-term and comparative understanding of
changes and variations in European union movements. It provides
information on the context and history of union development, the
changes in the structure of post-war unionism until today, the
long-term trends in union membership and union density, and the
shifts in the cross-sectional composition of union membership. This
book and CD-ROM are the result of many years of research by the
authors in collaboration with an international research team, and
provides an original source for comparative and national studies or
individual enquiries. The country and comparative tables offer
cross-checked and often newly-calculated statistics on national
union organizations and their membership series. The CD-ROM
includes selected tables from the handbook and provides additional
databases with organizational data and membership series of major
national and European union organizations.
Huntington's disease, chorea or disorder (HD) is an incurable
neurodegenerative genetic disorder, which affects muscle
co-ordination and some cognitive functions, typically becoming
noticeable in middle age. It is the most common genetic cause of
abnormal involuntary writhing movements called chorea and is much
more common in people of Western European descent than in those
from Asia or Africa. The disease is caused by a dominant mutation
on either of the two copies of a gene called Huntington. This book
gathers and presents current research in the study of Huntington's
Disease including the outlining effects of mutant htt in the
nucleus and cytoplasm and the role of cell-cell interactions in
Huntington's Disease pathology, as well as a review of the role of
Huntington (HTT) interacting proteins.
