Inventing International Society is a narrative history of the English School of International Relations. After E.H. Carr departed from academic international relations in the late 1940s, Martin Wight became the most theoretically innovative scholar in the discipline. Wight found an institutional setting for his ideas in The British Committee, a group which Herbert Butterfield inaugurated in 1959. The book argues that this date should be regarded as the origin of a distinctive English School of International Relations. In addition to tracing the history of the School, the book argues that later English School scholars, such as Hedley Bull and R.J.Vincent, made a significant contribution to the new normative thinking in International Relations.

Bringing together an outstanding group of thinkers, Worlds in Collision is the essential book for understanding the debate about the future of global order in the wake of international terrorism and the war in Afghanistan. When the victim of such horrific terror attacks happens to be the world's only superpower, the agenda is set for the future global order. This book will help readers understand the ways in which our worlds collided on September 11, 2001. Not only does it comprehensively address the first phase of the war against international terrorism, the book also looks at the wider regional and global ramifications. Worlds in Collision is ultimately about more than the war on terrorism, it concerns itself with the possibilities for re-shaping global order on the basis of new kinds of politics.

"The only thing I can do is to fight." The real story of the biggest little man who ever lived Chicago's World Champion Jimmy Barry & Captain James Dalton Patrick J. "Reddy" Gallager, and Arthur Majesty Jimmy Barry came from Chicago's "Little Hell" where a man fought at least once a week to have a good name. In 1887 at sixteen Jimmy and his brother Michael were two of seven toughs arrested for complicity in the assault on a Chicago police officer. Jimmy, helped by Mike McGurn family and the great lightweight Harry Gilmore, straightened himself out. Ten years later Jimmy was the undefeated bantamweight champion of the world. In 1881 Captain James Dalton was the first Chicago man to meet John L. Sullivan in the ring. Dalton had a long fighting career, meeting many top heavyweights of his day. He was a tug boat captain on the Chicago River and operated two West Side saloons before being killed by a car in 1932. Barry and Dalton are buried within fifty yards of one another in Evanston's Calvary Cemetery. Reddy Gallagher was a top middleweight who met Dempsey in Cleveland and John Herget in San Francisco. After a successful boxing career Reddy became a successful businessman, sporting editor for the Denver Post and died as the wealthiest prize fighter of his day. Five Catholic bishops are buried with Gallager. Arthur Majesty is virtually unknown. From Toledo, Ohio he moved to Peoria and then Bloomington, Illinois. Majesty taught boxing, attended Illinois Wesleyan University and worked for a Bloomington newspaper. He fought the great Tommy Warren five times - once before the largest crowd to date to watch a boxing match in Chicago as the final preliminary match before Sullivan met the "Irish Lad" Jack Burke. Majesty died fighting under an assumed name in Nelsonville, Ohio in 1891. The stories of these men are told here and provide insight into the history of prizefighting at the end of the nineteenth century.

The ability to assess military readiness and capability has been a problem for the Department of Defense, the Congress and military commanders. As recently as the Gulf War readiness reported by some units deploying to the Gulf was, in the words of the General Accounting Office, inflated and unreliable. Inflated and unreliable readiness reporting is a problem for the Department of Defense because it affects budget decisions and long range planning. It is a problem for the Congress because cost versus capability trade-offs are not articulated well. It is a problem for commanders who must depend on these forces in time of war or contingency. The problem exists because there has been no satisfactory objective means of objectively measuring readiness and capability. Objective methods of assessment have relied primarily upon input or resource based measurement tools. Since these provided only partial measures, subjective input was also required and often contradicted the objective data. Even worse, actual capability was sometimes not reflected by either the objective or subjective assessment. Advances in information technology along with the accompanying information explosion have made the use of modeling and simulation for readiness and capability assessment a viable method of assessing not only individual units but entire theaters of operation. These advances will allow the Department of Defense to compare force capability between different units based upon outcome oriented analysis. The ability to compare assessment results from year to year will help the Congress to understand what is purchased with the defense dollar and will allow peacetime exploration of unit and force cost versus readiness and capability tradeoffs. These same advances will allow the commander to objectively explore alternative force mixtures and courses of action prior to committing them with the added advantage that the same information and technology can provide a further step toward achieving

1909. Illustrated. Rex Beach was well on his way to becoming a lawyer when he was hit by Gold Rush Fever and left for the Klondike to strike it rich. He never found gold, but his travels had sparked his imagination and he began to write. His tales of adventures quickly made him into a popular author. The Silver Horde begins: The trail to Kalvik leads down from the northward mountains over the tundra which flanks the tide flats, then creeps out upon the salt ice of the river and across to the village. It boasts no travel in summer, but by winter an occasional toil-worn traveler may be seen issuing forth from the Great Country beyond, bound for the open water; while once in thirty days the mail-team whirls out of the forest to the south, pauses one night to leave word of the world, and then is swallowed up in the silent hills. Kalvik, to be sure, is not much of a place, being hidden away from the main-travelled routes to the interior and wholly unknown except to those interested in the fisheries.
