The Elusive Quest for European Security provides a detailed
overview of the various attempts to incorporate a security and
defence role in the European integration process. Consideration is
given to why these aspects of the integration process have proven
so elusive and what progress has been made towards this goal. The
assessment includes topics such as the enlargement of NATO, the
EU's Amsterdam Treaty, and the role of the revived Western European
Union, as well as the role of the main actors which includes
Britain's bid for European leadership in defence, and the changing
attitudes of administrations in Washington DC.
The New European Security Disorder presents a clear and
comprehensive overview of the main actors, institutions and changes
in European security since the end of the Cold War. Special
emphasis is put on the assessment of threats to Europe's security,
the lack of coherent leadershop in Bosnia and elsewhere, and the
need for pan-European security institutions.
The New European Security Disorder is a comprehensive assessment of
Europe's post-Cold War security threats, the roles of the main
actors and institutions. Many challenges to Europe's security are
non-military and have not been seriously addressed by Western
Europe or its US ally. The institutional responses to Europe's
post-Cold War security challenges from NATO, WEU, CSCE and the EC
have been confused, duplicatory or non-existent. This book argues
for the need for coherent collective leadership at the European
level, the gradual phasing out of NATO, and the creation of a
pan-European security structure.
The immune system can deal effectively with the majority of viruses
and bacteria, less effectively with parasites, and very poorly with
cancer. Why is this so? Why are McFarlane Burnet's and Lewis
Thomas' predictions that the immune system is in volved in ridding
the body of cancer cells, encapsulated in the catchy phrase
"immunologic surveillance," so difficult to experi mentally
establish? Cancer differs from infectious agents in being derived
from the host. Hence, it has been postulated that cancer cells lack
anti gens that the immune system can recognize. They are not "im
munogenic. " However, this argument is seriously weakened by the
existence of numerous human autoimmune diseases, in which the
immune system effectively recognizes and attacks a va riety of self
tissues. Thus, the potential clearly exists for recogni tion of the
surfaces of tumor cells. Professor Naor and his colleagues have
written a book that explores another possible reason: cancer cells
are recognized by the immune system-but is it possible that the
consequence of recognition is inhibition of the immune system-by
suppressor T cells or macrophages? The evolution of the malignant
state may only occur in individuals who develop this suppression.
This book reviews the evidence that suppressor cells, poorly
characterized and difficult to study, may be of fundamental im
portance in cancer. In fact, our incapacity to understand the na
ture of suppressor cells and their mode of action is one of the ma
jor problems in immunology research today."
This accessible book introduces the key concepts and theoretical
developments of queer criminology and explains what they mean for
modern criminal justice frameworks and practitioners. The book sets
out experiences of the LGBTQ+ population as victims, offenders and
professionals in legal systems in the US and internationally and
explores what they mean for elements of those systems including
police, courts, corrections and victims’ services. It is both a
useful reference point for academics, students and professionals
and a guide to how queer criminology can be theoretically applied
and practically implemented in the worlds of policing, courts,
corrections, and victims' services.

Climate change is affecting Indiana's environment, threatening the
way Hoosiers live and do business, and introducing new stresses to
the state's economy, health, and infrastructure. And while
scientists predict more days of extreme weather, increased public
health risks, and reduced agricultural production in the coming
years, Hoosiers still have a substantial say in determining their
future environment. Climate Change and Resilience in Indiana and
Beyond confirms that Indiana can rise to meet this threat. The
culmination of Indiana University's Prepared for Environmental
Change Grand Challenge, this collection showcases how scientists,
policymakers, communicators, and others are working hard to protect
Indiana's economy and way of life by becoming more resilient.
Researchers are creating new environmental resilience frameworks,
building on years of existing research on how ecosystems can adapt,
how social systems process threats in order to change, and how
individuals themselves fit into the larger picture. In addition to
presenting research results, Climate Change and Resilience in
Indiana and Beyond provides clear examples of how Hoosiers can make
a difference by reducing risks, lessening the harmful impacts of
climate change, and preparing for the unavoidable. What emerges in
these pages is a hopeful, optimistic picture of how resilience is
generalizable across systems—from forests to farms to
cities—and how Hoosiers are mobilizing this resilience in the
face of climate change.
This original and incisive new book by Naor and his colleagues,
Immunosuppression and Human Malignancy, offers a state-of-the-art
critical analysis of the huge body of recent research on the
immunosuppressive states associated with malignancy. Maximum
attention is paid to the role of suppressor macrophages and
lymphocytes in malignancy-related immunodepression. The central
question posed is whether immunosuppression induces carcinogenesis
and/or tumor progression, or whether it is instead the result of
these processes and/or the therapy protocols. Sources of
experimental artifacts are also evaluated. Encyclopedically
presented, each chapter of Immunosuppression and Human Malignancy
can be read independently, and each chapter features a detailed
table summarizing that chapter's major findings, providing the
reader with concise material to aid in evaluation. Investigators
initiating work in the field will find it an especially valuable
reference guide, as well as a useful tool in comparing findings
published by all the major laboratories in the field. Students of
medicine will find novel perspectives complementing the basic
information gleaned from lectures and textbooks.Since certain
treatment protocols for malignant diseases have already taken into
account cause-effect relationships between tumors and
immunodepression, physicians may also wish to use the book in
evaluating their varied treatments, or perhaps the potential
hazards associated with specific therapies. Immunosuppression and
Human Malignancy appears at a time of intensive debate on the
existence of suppressor T cells. Whereas immunosuppression per se
has been well established, the community of immunologists is
divided in its opinion about the role that suppressor T cells play
in mediating this phenomenon; at the extreme end their existence
has been completely denied. Although the book cannot definitely
resolve this problem, it provides all the arguments for both
supporters and opponents of suppressor T cells, and it may serve to
stimulate formulation of alternative immunosuppression
interpretations.

The United States is heavily dependent on fossil fuels to produce
electricity. Renewable energy can provide an alternative source of
energy for electricity production as well as reduce fossil fuel
consumption. The executive agencies in the U.S. must also reduce
greenhouse gas emissions by 2010 based on 1990 emission levels as
directed by Executive Order. However, there is currently no
analysis model to provide guidance toward which renewable energy to
select as a course of action. This research effort used
value-focused thinking decision analysis to create a model based on
inputs from the Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency. This model
allows a decision-maker to easily alter weights and value functions
related to renewable energy sources as needed to correspond to the
personal values of that person. These values combined with the
objective scores obtained from the generated alternatives results
in a suggested course of action. The sensitivity analysis shows the
changes of the output based on the alterations of the weighting of
each measure. All measures were varied to study their influence on
the final outcome. Application of the model at three bases showed
this model appears to work based on the influencing weights and
values of the decision-maker.

This volume, which is the first history published of the celebrated
criminal cases in America, includes the most important cases during
the past eighty years. They have been collected after years of
systematic investigation and verified with the assistance of police
officials throughout America, without whose co-operation an
authentic history would be impossible. The hundred and ten cases
presented in this volume should prove interesting to the general
reader because of the psychological and, in many cases, the
historical interest which attaches to them. This book also contains
a brief history of the San Francisco Police Department from the
date of its organization; an accurate history of the far-famed
Vigilance Committee; the Kearney riots; the life of Chief Justice
Terry, including the famous duel in which he killed United States
Senator Broderick and his tragic death while assaulting Justice
Field of the United States Supreme Court; also a synopsis of the
police and municipal history of the great earthquake and fire,
which contains much information which has not heretofore been
published. While this volume will show that in some instances
fabulous amounts of money have been unlawfully obtained, it will
also show that retribution invariably overtakes the professional
criminal and brings with it untold misery and degradation. Although
there are isolated cases where the perpetrator of an atrocious
crime succeeds in escaping the iron hand of the law, there is one
court he cannot escape, and that is the one "whose findings are
incontrovertible and whose sessions are held in the chambers of his
own breast." Watch for: The True Story of the Lindbergh Kidnapping

Chinese literature has been the slave of politics at least since
1948 and especially during the Cultural Revolution. So repressed
and convoluted is most Chinese literature that the West cannot read
it as literature at all but rather as sociological and political
texts. Professor Duke believes this has changed enough since 1977
to permit genuine literary analysis. This book surveys and analyzes
the most important literary events in the PRC from 1977 to 1982.
Chapter I covers the significant changes in the Chinese Party line
on literature and art during this period and thus provides the
backdrop for literary and artistic endeavor. Subsequent chapters
deal with the critique of Chinese literature by China's own
writers, the neo-realistic fiction of 1979-80, the nonfiction works
of a courageous investigative reporter for the People's Daily, and
the theme of humanism and its treatment in the works of Bai Hua and
Dai Houying. The final chapter discusses the post-Mao generation of
young writers, who are trying to create works that go beyond
narrowly ideological boundaries of the past and reach toward a true
modern Chinese literature.
