Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Fixing Everything provides citizens with a blueprint to retake
control of the federal government and reassert American leadership
in a world gone astray. This integrated solution will limit
government spending to a reasonable percentage of GDP; close
agencies responsible for 60% of government spending; dramatically
simplify taxes; reduce, quantify, and manage entitlement
commitments; present a new form of free market healthcare
organization; confront pension liabilities; encourage legal
immigration, while discouraging illegal immigration; contain legal
awards and costs, while encouraging early settlement; reduce crime;
and put an end to the "nanny" state. Citizens will assume personal
and financial responsibility for their actions and well-being. A
new form of safety-net will avoid mal-incentives, while encouraging
effort and initiative.

If we could know in 2020 what we will know in 2025 (only five
foreseeable years into the future), how would we change our
attitudes, actions, and the way in which we practice law, the
services we offer, the clients we target, and the ways in which we
choose to deliver our services? Indeed - if we could have known a
year ago the events of the first three months in 2020, what might
we have done to prepare? The American writer and humorist, Mark
Twain, advised: "When everybody is out digging for gold, the
business to be in is selling shovels!" So, what foreseeable trend
may represent the figurative "shovel" that every client will need
tomorrow?
A freshly provocative look at the nexus linking EU security,
trans-Turkey energy supply routes to Europe and Turkey's EU
membership negotiations, this book argues that Europe's collective
energy security prospects have become increasingly tied to Turkey's
progress towards joining the EU.
This book takes an interdisciplinary approach to the question of
what role international law plays in promoting a resolution of
Central and East European transboundary environmental disputes. The
author examines a wide variety of environmental disputes in Central
and Eastern Europe, with particular emphasis on the
Gabcikovo-Nagymaros Project dispute between Slovakia and Hungary,
and melds international legal theory and international relations
theory to develop an analytic framework for understanding the role
of law and assessing its future application.
"The New Multilateralism in South African Diplomacy" provides a
detailed analysis of how post-apartheid South Africa has
participated in multilateral diplomacy in a variety of
sub-regional, regional and international settings during the last
decade. The book will interest scholars engaged in broad debates
about multilateralism in International Relations as well as those
analyzing the processes of multilateral diplomacy. Scholars
interested in contemporary South African foreign policy will also
find this book invaluable.
The International Society of Oxygen Transport to Tissue (ISOTT) was
founded in 1973 to provide a forum for bioengineers, basic
scientists, physiologists, and physicians to discuss new data,
original theories, new interpretations of old data, and new
technologies for the measurement of oxygen. At each annual meeting
all posters are presented orally along with plenary lectures, and
all presentations are given in a general session attended by
everyone. Each meeting has had a specific focus, ranging from
neonatology to physical chemistry to cancer biology. The Society
has helped to build many careers, through opportunities to meet
leaders in the field, and through awards made to young physicians
and scientists. The Society also, through cross fertilization of
ideas and scientific comradery, has inspired many breakthroughs in
clinical medicine that now benefit mankind. I find myself president
of the society after having been a winner of the Melvin Knisely
Award for young scientists, in 1991. The 2003 meeting emphasized
the role of oxygen and oxygen measurement in tumor growth,
metastasis, physiology, and treatment resistance. Additionally,
however, completely novel approaches to measurement of tissue
oxygen were presented (notably work by Dr. Takahashi) and molecular
methods for estimating tissue oxygen were evaluated. Papers
discussing other aspects of oxygen measurement and pathophysiology
were presented including in vivo ESR spectroscopy (notably
including Dr. Swartz and colleagues), exercise physiology, organ
transplant outcome (discussed by Dr. Cicco, our 2004 president),
circulatory physiology, and cerebral oxygenation (notably including
Dr. Chance).
As miniaturisation deepens, and nanotechnology and its machines become more prevalent in the real world, the need to consider using quantum mechanical concepts to perform various tasks in computation increases. Such tasks include: the teleporting of information, breaking heretofore "unbreakable" codes, communicating with messages that betray eavesdropping, and the generation of random numbers. This is the first book to apply quantum physics to the basic operations of a computer, representing the ideal vehicle for explaining the complexities of quantum mechanics to students, researchers and computer engineers, alike, as they prepare to design and create the computing and information delivery systems for the future. Both authors have solid backgrounds in the subject matter at the theoretical and more practical level. While serving as a text for senior/grad level students in computer science/physics/engineering, this book has its primary use as an up-to-date reference work in the emerging interdisciplinary field of quantum computing - the only prerequisite being knowledge of calculus and familiarity with the concept of the Turing machine.
Williams explores the effectiveness of various types of responses
and strategies available to states when faced with demands for
territorial revisions. She examines the situations surrounding the
19th-century unification of Germany, the breakup of Yugoslavia and
the strife in Bosnia and Kosovo, and the ongoing struggle over the
fate of Kashmir. The type of demand for territorial revisions, she
argues, and the responses determine whether the outcome will be
peace or war. While states should deter those states or groups that
are imperialist, she points to the utility of pursuing a
firm-but-flexible strategy toward those that are consolidationists.
This analysis will be of considerable value to scholars, students,
and policy makers involved with issues of contemporary nationalism,
ethnic politics, and international relations.
Expressive Morphology in the Languages of South Asia explores the
intricacies of the grammars of several of the languages of the
South Asian subcontinent. Specifically, the contributors to this
volume examine grammatical resources for shaping elaborative,
rhyming, and alliterative expressions, conveying the emotions,
states, conditions and perceptions of speakers. These forms, often
referred to expressives, remain relatively undocumented, until now.
It is clear from the evidence on contextualized language use that
the grammatically artistic usage of these forms enriches and
enlivens both every day and ritualized genres of discourse. The
contributors to this volume provide grammatical and sociolinguistic
documentation through a typological introduction to the diversity
of expressive forms in the languages of South Asia. This book is
suitable for students and researchers in South Asian Languages, and
language families of the following; Dravidian, Indo-Aryan, Iranian,
Sino-Tibetan and Austro-Asiatic.
This important new study provides a critical analysis of the
foreign policies conducted during the first two terms of Tony
Blair's government. It focuses upon the government's key foreign
policy commitments; three of its most important international
relationships (with the US, the European Union, and Africa); and
how Blair's government dealt with five fundamental policy issues
(political economy, defence, international development,
intervention, and Iraq). It argues that throughout this period
Labour's foreign policies attempted to paper over some important
contradictions.
