American Defense Policy (Paperback, ninth edition): Miriam Krieger, Lynne Chandler Garcia, John Riley, Will Atkins American Defense Policy (Paperback, ninth edition)
Miriam Krieger, Lynne Chandler Garcia, John Riley, Will Atkins
R1,296 Discovery Miles 12 960 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

A vital text for understanding the twenty-first-century battlefield and the shifting force structure, this book prepares students to think critically about the rapidly changing world they'll inherit. American Defense Policy, first published in 1965 under the leadership of Brent Scowcroft, has been a mainstay in courses on political science, international relations, military affairs, and American national security for more than 50 years. This updated and thoroughly revised ninth edition, which contains about 30% all-new content, considers questions of continuity and change in America's defense policy in the face of a global climate beset by geopolitical tensions, rapid technological change, and terrorist violence. The book is organized into three parts. Part I examines the theories and strategies that shape America's approach to security policy. Part II dives inside the defense policy process, exploring the evolution of contemporary civil-military relations, the changing character of the profession of arms, and the issues and debates in the budgeting, organizing, and equipping process. Part III examines how purpose and process translate into American defense policy. This invaluable and prudent text remains a classic introduction to the vital security issues the United States has faced throughout its history. It breaks new ground as a thoughtful and comprehensive starting point to understand American defense policy and its role in the world today. Contributors: Gordon Adams, John R.

"By the time of his death at the age of 41, Riley had achieved a poetry whose importance is not circumscribed by the concerns and trends of its day. His finest poems are an embodiment of integrity and vision: precise observation and wit co-exist with an extraordinary beauty of image and rhythm. Riley's is an art that at its best has a place in the enduring tradition of English poetry."-Michael Grant

The View from the Back of the Band - The Life and Music of Mel Lewis (Paperback): Chris Smith The View from the Back of the Band - The Life and Music of Mel Lewis (Paperback)
Chris Smith; Foreword by John Mosca; Afterword by John Riley
R595 R525 Discovery Miles 5 250 Save R70 (12%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Mel Lewis (1929-1990) was born Melvin Sokoloff to Jewish Russian immigrants in Buffalo, New York. He first picked up his father's drumsticks at the age of two and at seventeen he was a full-time professional musician. The View from the Back of the Band is the first biography of this legendary jazz drummer. For over fifty years, Lewis provided the blueprint for how a drummer could subtly support any musical situation. While he made his name with Stan Kenton and Thad Jones, and with his band at the Village Vanguard, it was the hundreds of recordings that he made as a sideman and his ability to mentor young musicians that truly defined his career. Away from the drums, Lewis's passionate and outspoken personality made him one of jazz music's greatest characters. It is often through Lewis's own anecdotes, as well as many from the musicians who knew him best, that this book traces the career of one of the world's greatest drummers. Previously unpublished interviews, personal memoirs, photos, musical transcriptions, and a selected discography add to this comprehensive biography.

Tales from the Land of Lyoness (Paperback): John Riley Tales from the Land of Lyoness (Paperback)
John Riley; Alan Smith
R319 Discovery Miles 3 190 Ships in 10 - 17 working days

The Land of Lyoness was a happy land................ In theory it was ruled by an enlightened Royal family, in truth the people accepted them purely for their entertainment value. The bureaucrats who administered to the country's needs were considered essential by the population. Not only too inept to collect taxes and enforce laws, but also government service was the best way to keep your mackerel -brained son out of the family business Education was considered optional, no one was keen to see knowledge get in the way of a really good time. Lyoness essentially was a safe place. The giants had departed, advised by their doctors to find a place that did not serve Lyoness extra strong ale. The dragons had given up in their quest to find a virgin, and had flown East. Only the Trolls remained, but as they were such good miners, their occasional raids on goat herds was accepted. Although all drew the line at listening to them sing If power lay anywhere it was with the First Minister; whenever the people dropped themselves deep in the dragons' doo-doo, it fell to him to dig them out. The people of Lyoness were experts at finding piles of dragons' doo-doo

Prince of the Pharisees (Paperback): Nick Riley Myers, Arthur Breur Prince of the Pharisees (Paperback)
Nick Riley Myers, Arthur Breur; John Riley Myers
R407 Discovery Miles 4 070 Ships in 10 - 17 working days

Prince of the Pharisees is a raucous social satire on the current state of politics, religion, and sex in this country. The ensemble cast of characters includes the reigning queen of family values, a brassy black lesbian journalist, a charismatic conservative U.S. senator determined to be the Republican presidential nominee and a lonely drag queen searching for his biological family. Their lives intertwine in the days leading up to the Republican convention in 2012 with tragi-comic consequences. Disappointed by wedge politics used to sow hate, author John Myers has put into words a dream that came to him in the final days before the 2004 election. An active volunteer in Barack Obama's U.S. Senate campaign, Myers served as Chairman of the campaign's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Committee. Long before Sarah Palin used her Down Syndrome child as a political prop, long before John McCain attempted to ride his POW experience into the White House, long before Idaho Senator Larry Craig got caught cruising an airport men's room, and long before the religious right stormed Washington to protest George Bush's successor, John Myers brought to life a vivid tale that eerily foresaw the dark rumbling forces that threaten to destroy the social fabric of this nation.

Dmitri Shostakovich - A Life in Film (Paperback, New): John Riley Dmitri Shostakovich - A Life in Film (Paperback, New)
John Riley
R898 Discovery Miles 8 980 Ships in 10 - 17 working days

Of all the major Soviet composers who worked in the cinema, the most prominent was Dmitri Shostakovich who, in addition to over a hundred works for the stage and concert hall, wrote scores for almost forty films. Yet despite his reputation this work, when not completely overlooked, has been poorly judged by the same criteria as his other music. Likewise, while much attention has been paid to Soviet film, the crucial role played by the scores is all too often forgotten. This, the first book in English to look at Shostakovich's cinema career, discusses every film he scored, looking at the films themselves, tracing their relationship to the changing concerns and policies of the Soviet state and examining how the music works in context. John Riley also gives a fascinating account of the composer's life. This highly readable book will be welcomed equally by devotees of the composer; those interested in Soviet culture and cinema; and general film music enthusiasts.
