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.

opening books which supply the reader with an abundance of
hard-hitting ideas to revitalize his or her opening repertoire. In
this book, three opening experts team up and take a contemporary

'dangerous' options for both colours. Whether playing White or
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 book fills an enormous void in chess literature. There are a
countless number of players who are very happy to defend the black
side of the Queen's Gambit or play the Nimzo-Indian, Queen's
Indian, Bogo-Indian or Benoni. However, more often than not they
have been forced to muddle their way through a whole variety of
annoying sidelines White has at his or her disposal, including the
dreaded Trompowsky, the tricky Blackmar-Diemer Gambit and the
tiresome Colle Variation. Now finally help is at hand! In this
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
will be fully armed to deal with anything that White can throw at
you. In fact, you'll have all the White players running back to the
main lines!

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.

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
*Provides answers to all of White's main options *Ideal for
improvers, club players and tournament players
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.
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.

For many years the study of pre-seventeenth-century English
drama was shaped largely by an understanding that everything
written revolved around the individual author, either as part of
the tradition that prepared the way for Shakespeare or as part of
his legacy.
Now twenty-five original essays by leading theorists and
historians chart a paradigmatic shift within the field. In contrast
to the traditional emphasis on individual authors, the contributors
here explore the place of the stage within the larger society, as
well as issues of performance and physical space.
The essays are organized into three sections: "Early English
Drama and Physical Space" examines the settings in which plays were
acted; "Early English Drama and Social Space" juxtaposes the
theater with such contemporary subcultures as the church, the city,
and the court. Finally, "Early English Drama and Conditions of
Performance and Publication" explores a wide range of material
conditions and contexts, from props to printers.
A major summary of contemporary scholarship and a storehouse of
new theoretical and historical information, "A New History of Early
English Drama" skillfully illustrates the complex influence of
physical and social elements woven into the texts, and provides an
innovative approach to literary studies and cultural history.
