Genocide denial not only abuses history and insults the victims but
paves the way for future atrocities. Yet few, if any, books have
offered a comparative overview and analysis of this problem.
Denial: The Final Stage of Genocide? is a resource for
understanding and countering denial. Denial spans a broad
geographic and thematic range in its explorations of varied forms
of denial—which is embedded in each stage of genocide. Ranging
far beyond the most well-known cases of denial, this book offers
original, pathbreaking arguments and contributions regarding:
competition over commemoration and public memory in Ukraine and
elsewhere transitional justice in post-conflict societies; global
violence against transgender people, which genocide scholars have
not adequately confronted; music as a means to recapture history
and combat denial; public education’s role in erasing Indigenous
history and promoting settler-colonial ideology in the United
States; "triumphalism" as a new variant of denial following the
Bosnian Genocide; denial vis-Ã -vis Rwanda and neighboring
Congo (DRC). With contributions from leading genocide experts as
well as emerging scholars, this book will be of interest to
scholars and students of history, genocide studies, anthropology,
political science, international law, gender studies, and human
rights.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s a wave of Ponzi schemes swept
through Papua New Guinea, Australia, and the Solomon Islands. The
most notorious scheme, U-Vistract, attracted many thousands of
investors, enticing them with promises of 100 percent interest to
be paid monthly. Its founder, Noah Musingku, was a charismatic
leader who promoted the scheme as a form of Christian mission and
as the basis for establishing an independent kingdom. Fast Money
Schemes uses in-depth interviews with investors, newspaper
accounts, and participant observation to understand the scheme's
appeal from the point of view of those who invested and lost,
showing that organizers and investors alike understood the scheme
as a way of accessing and participating in a global economy. John
Cox delivers a "post-village" ethnography that gives insight into
the lives of urban, middle-class Papua New Guineans, a group that
is not familiar to US readers and that has seldom been a focus of
anthropological interest. The book's concern with understanding the
interweaving of morality, finance, and aspirations shared by a
global cosmopolitan middle class has wide resonance beyond studies
of Papua New Guinea and anthropology.

This book provides a repertoire for Black with the ever-popular
Queen's Gambit Declined. Opening expert John Cox covers not one but
two key options for Black. The Tartakower Variation is a
sophisticated defence used successfully by world champions such as
Kasparov, Karpov and Kramnik. The Lasker Variation is an
easy-to-learn and reliable option devised by one of the legends of
the game. Cox also demonstrates how to play against White's other
tries, including the Exchange Variation and Bf4 lines. He explains
in detail the typical plans and tactics adopted by both sides,
whilst also tackling the tricky subject of move-order
possibilities. *A repertoire for Black against the Queen's Gambit

annoying sidelines White has at his or her disposal, including the

unique book John Cox reveals everything Black players need to know
about all of White's offbeat tries, presenting Black with
no-nonsense answers to every white option. Read this book and you

and was designed as a simple means of screening for postnatal

considerably revised, the evidence base on interventions for
perinatal depression is provided, plus details of innovative
methods such as internet-based therapy. The scale can also be used

emotional well-being of new mothers and their families and guidance
is also given on use of the scale in research settings. The book

midwives, family doctors, obstetricians and community psychiatric
nurses, plus researchers in perinatal health.
No opening in recent times has captured the imagination of the
chess public more than the Sicilian Sveshnikov. Initially
popularized in the 1970s, the Sveshnikov has exploded onto the
chess scene at the highest levels and is now regarded by many
experts as one of Black's most promising answers to 1 e4. One of
its major attractions is that more often than not the opening leads
to incredibly sharp and complex play. In such situations both sides
must play with extreme accuracy just to stay on the board as a
single slip may lead to disaster! This uncompromising and modern
approach with the black pieces has found favour with many of
today's leading Grandmasters, including Peter Leko and World
Champion Vladimir Kramnik, while Garry Kasparov also began playing
it towards the end of his career.
This book is a further addition to Everyman's best-selling
"Starting Out" series, which has been acclaimed for its original
approach to tackling chess openings. International Master John Cox
revisits the fundamentals of the Sveshnikov, elaborating on the
crucial early moves and ideas for both sides in a way that is often
neglected in other texts. The reader is helped throughout with a
plethora of notes, tips and warnings highlighting the vital
characteristics of the Sicilian Sveshnikov and of opening play in
general. "Starting Out: Sicilian Sveshnikov" is a perfect guide for
improving players and those new to this opening.
*Learn how to play an ambitious opening
*Includes coverage of the fashionable Anti-Sveshnikov
*Written by an renowned opening expert
Building and maintaining a chess opening repertoire can be a
demanding task - for a start there are an enormous number of
different lines to chooses from. There's a strong temptation
amongst aspiring players to opt solely for tricky lines in order to
snare unsuspecting opponents, but this approach has only short term
value. As you progress and your opponents become stronger, very
often these line don't stand up to close scrutiny and suddenly you
are back to square one with no suitable opening weapons. ----- In
these two books, brought together now for the first time in one
volume, John Cox and Neil McDonald solve the perennial problems by
providing the reader with strong and trusty repertoires with white
pieces based on the popular opening moves of 1d4 and 1e4. ----- The
recommended lines given here have stood the test of time and are
regularly employed by Grandmasters. ----These books are written in
Everyman Chess's distinctive Starting Out style, with plenty of
notes, tips and warnings throughout to help the reader to absorb
ideas.

opening books which supply the reader with an abundance of
hard-hitting ideas to revitalize his or her opening repertoire. In

Black, a study of this book will leave you confident and
fully-armed, and your opponents running for cover! *A modern study
of the Ruy Lopez *Packed with original ideas and analysis *Ideal

This volume is dedicated to the field identification of pigeons and
doves, and it incorporates much recent information on the
family.;Pigeons and doves are a large family of birds occurring
throughout the world. Many species are specialist frugivores, while
others feed on seeds. Most are arboral and the tropical species in
particular are often brightly coloured. The family includes
gregarious migratory species, as well as shy, ground-dwelling forms
such as the exotic crowned pigeons of New Guinea.

Originally published in 1904, as part of the Cambridge Physical
Series, this book was written to provide an accessible introduction
to the principles of mechanics. The text analyses the principles as
they developed in chronological order and places them in their
historical context, with discussion of pioneering figures. Examples
are included, but only where necessary and not in such abundance
that they would confuse the reader. Illustrative figures are also
incorporated throughout. This book will be of value to anyone with
an interest in mechanics, physics and the history of science.
Originally published during the early part of the twentieth
century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were
designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of
topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and
combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on
accessibility. Beyond the Atom by John Cox was first published in
1913. It offers a contemporaneous look at the rapid advances
occurring in the study of radioactivity during the first decade of
the twentieth century.
