This book explores and analyzes how the Arab Spring has affected
the political and economic relationships between the West, the
BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and the MENA
(Middle Eastern and North African states). It locates continuity
and change in these relations within the broader context of
democratization, energy, security, arms relationships, and the
shift towards a multi-polar system. Each chapter charts a history
of ideological engagement, which has generally given way to more
pragmatic energy, economic, and security interests, and defines and
analyzes the fundamental and emerging factors that shape foreign
policy. The volume pays special attention to the UN Security
Council authorization of "all necessary measures" against Qaddafi's
Libya and the subsequent deadlock in getting China and Russia to
pass further Resolutions for intervention in Syria.

There has been a great advance in the understanding of processes of
meta morphism and of metamorphic rocks since the last edition of
this book appeared. Methods for determining temperatures and
pressures have become almost routine, and there is a wide
appreciation that there is not a single temperature and pressure of
metamorphism, but that rocks may preserve, in their minerals,
chemistry and textures, traces of their history of burial, heating,
deformation and permeation by fluids. However, this excit ing new
knowledge is still often difficult for non-specialists to
understand, and this book, like the first edition, aims at
enlightenment. I have concen trated on the interpretation of the
plate tectonic settings of metamorphism, rather than following a
geochemical approach. Although there is an impress ive degree of
agreement between the two, I believe that attempting to discover
the tectonic conditions accompanying rock recrystallization will
more readily arouse the interest of the beginner. I have used a
series of case histories, as in the first edition, drawing on my
own direct experience as far as possible. This m

subjects are treated in more detail than others, and many important
topics are barely mentioned at all. It also means that general
concepts appear in a rather haphazard order in the text. To help my
readers, I have provided a glossary of definitions of terms used in
the book, which are indicated in bold type in the text.
Generally it is not sufficiently appreciated that electron
microscopy is in fact a diffraction method. In essential aspects
electron microscopes are more closely related to X-ray diffracto-
meters than to light microscopes. In electron microscopes
monochromatized radiation and coherent illumination (never used in
light microscopy) correspond in X-ray diffractometers to the
primary beam with a small divergence. Imaging ina general sense can
take place in interference experiments between a primary beam and a
scattered beam, or between diffe- rent deflected scattered beams.
This leads to the realization of an old dream in diffracto- metry,
namely to a general experimental solution of the "phase problem".
The most im- pressive analogy, however, concerns the potential of
the electron microscope as a tool for structure determination
(where the radiation wavelenght is smaller than the atomic distan-
ces). It was therefore considered timely to treat this topic in
this series. It was a fortunate cioncidence that in 1976 a Workshop
on "Unconventional Electron Microscope Methods for the
Investigation of Molecular Structures" (sponsored by the European
Molecular Biology Organisation, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft
and the Max-Planck-Gesell- schaft) took place, and that most
speakers presenting introductory lectures agreed to publish their
contributions in an expanded version in this volume. This volume is
thus not a symposium report in the usual sense since it contains
the majority of these introductory lectures only.

Why do we lack the leaders with the character and skill needed in
our homes, communities, businesses, churches and nation? Our
present leaders must invest in future leaders. Do you want to make
a lasting impact? Invest your time as a mentor. Mentoring is a
stewardship of your life experience which you entrust to the next
generation. As a mentor you provide "a brain to pick, a shoulder to
cry on and a kick in the pants." Encourage your protege to be the
person whom God created and called. Make a lasting difference in
the lives of others. Dr. Mason is the Senior Pastor of Faith
Baptist Church in Clifton Park, New York. He is a graduate of
Wheaton College and Graduate School (B.A. and M.A.), Dallas
Theological Seminary (Th.M.), and Denver Seminary (D. Min.). He is

The authors weigh the functions of this industry, its practices and
policies, and the changing nature of the consumer finance
marketplace to determine whether limiting such lending would serve
the public interest.
Liberty, Equality, Fraternity offers readers an accessible and
lively introduction to the French Revolution that is also grounded
in the latest and most sophisticated historical scholarship. It
does so through two paths--a book and a companion CD-ROM. The book
gives a brief but comprehensive narrative of the Revolution. The
CD-ROM offers readers an unprecedented multimedia overview of the
Revolution through images, primary documents, and song. Together
they introduce readers to the fascinating story of the world's
first great revolution.
The book, written by Lynn Hunt and Jack Censer, preeminent
authorities on the French Revolution, includes selected images and
documents from the accompanying CD-ROM, prepared by the authors
with the support of the Center for History and New Media at George
Mason University and the American Social History Project at City
University of New York. Features of the CD-ROM include primary
documents (carefully chosen, translated, and placed in their proper
historical contexts by a team of historians), songs, maps, and more
than 300 images (caricatures, portraits, sculptures, and
photographs of artifacts of material culture)--many previously
available only to specialists in the field. These hard-to-find
images, gathered from repositories in France and the United States,
comprise an unparalleled and powerful visual record of the
Revolution. Given the centrality of visual artifacts (imagery,
symbolism, and print culture) to the history of the Revolution, and
the inability of print reproduction to present such images with
clarity and detail, the companion CD-ROM will provide an entry into
the Revolution unavailable in any other form.
This fresh, new work explores major themes in Christian theology,
refracted through a worldview that perceives everything-God and the
world-to be dynamic, temporal, and interrelated. Though seemingly
complicated, process theology offers a worldview that is attractive
to Christians seeking a better understanding of their faith in the
context of science and the challenges of the "new atheism."
Something That Matters: A Theology for Critical Believers makes
both this worldview and its applications for life today accessible
to the lay reader. The book's argument is built around the
conviction that we are all "something that matters," that humans
make a difference in the world, and hence in the life of God. The
book addresses a broad range of topics important to Christian
theology: faith, religion, God, Christ, the Trinity, prayer, the
ethical life, what it means to be human, and our ultimate destiny
(eschatology). It also includes a chapter on the development and
basic ideas of "process philosophy," which informs this theology.
Incorporating insights from the sciences, as well as from the
Bible, this critical reevaluation brings the Christian proclamation
to life for a modern world.
