In a world replete with stories of sectarian violence, we are often left wondering: Are there places where people of different ethnicities, especially with significant Muslim minorities, live in peace? If so, why haven't we heard more about them, and what explains their success?

To answer these questions, Karl Meyer and Shareen Brysac undertook a two-year exploration of oases of civility, places notable for minimal violence, rising life-expectancy, high literacy, and pragmatic compromises on cultural rights. They explored the Indian state of Kerala, the Russian republic of Tatarstan, the city of Marseille in France, the city of Flensburg, Germany, and the borough of Queens, New York. Through scores of interviews, they document ways and means that have proven successful in defusing ethnic tensions. This pathbreaking book elegantly blends political history, sociology, anthropology, and journalism, to provide big ideas for peace.

It might be alarming to come across a live, wild animal at close range, but in the fascinating environment of a poster book they are a thrilling sight for curious children. Caught in photographs that emphasize their wild natures, there is no mistaking these glorious animals for family pets Many of this collection's 30 animals will be instantly recognizable from family trips to national parks and zoos, classroom lessons, and television nature shows, but their wild habits are what make them truly appealing to young imaginations. These are animals that live and die by instinct and cunning--finding food, raising their young, and evading predators.
On the back of each poster, children will find a map indicating where the animal lives, along with information on how it relates to its habitat, interesting historical facts and lore, and a description of what the animal is doing in the photograph. Grey wolves and grizzlies enjoy freshly killed meals; bald eagles and polar bears spar for supremacy; a caribou sheds the velvet on his antlers. These and 25 other breathtaking images bring wild animals right into a child's life.

2 Die Verarbeitung der Metalle durch Formanderung kann erfolgen: 1. durch Schmelzen und GieBen in Formen, 2. durch gegenseitige Verschiebung der einzelnen Teilchen eines Korpers durch Schlag, Druck oder Zug (Schmieden, Walzen, Ziehen usw.), 3. durch Teilung eines oder Zusammenfiigung verschiedener Metall- korper. Die Verarbeitung des Holzes kann mechanisch nur auf zweierlei Weise geschehen: 1. durch gegenseitige Verschiebung der einzelnen Teilchen eines Holzkorpers, besonders durch Biegung desselben. Diese Ver- arbeitung ist nicht sehr ausgedehnt. Sie beschrankt sich auf FaBdauben, Wiener Stiihle, Schiffsplanken uSW'., 2. durch Teilung eines oder Zusammenfiigung verschiedener Holz- korper. Als Grundlage fiir die Einteilung des vorliegenden Buches soIl der Gang der' Fabrikation in einer Maschinenfabrik dienen. Ausgehend von dem Rohmateriale, erfolgt hier zuerst das GieBen und Schmied en und dann die weitere Bearbeitung der metallemin oder holzernen Maschinenteile auf Grund ihrer Teilbarkeit. DemgemaB zel'fallt dies Buch in folgende vier Abschnitte: I. Materialienkunde oder Darstellung und Eigenschaften der Maschinenbau- und Betriebsmaterialien. II. Die HersteUung der GuBstiic e oder die Verarbeitung der Metalle auf Grund ihrer Schmelzbarkeit. III. Die Herstellung der Schmiedestiicke und die sonstige Ver- der Metalle auf Grund ihrer Dehnbarkeit. arbeitung IV. Die Bearbeitung der GuB- und Schmiedestiicke sowie die des Holzes auf Grund ihrer Teilbarkeit. Erster Abschnitt. Materialienkunde oder Darstellung und Eigenschaften del' Maschinenbau- und Betriebsmaterialien. 1. Das Eisen. Das technisch verwendete Eisen ist kein Element, sondern eine Legierung des Elementes Eisen mit Kohlenstoff und anderen Elementen. Durch die verschiedene Menge des Kohlenstoffs und der anderen Ele- mente im Eisen entstehen die verschiedenen Eisensorten.
