As a former negotiator, I wish I had had the benefit of Profssor
Rose's insights and I am confident that future U.S. negotiators
will profit from them. Paul C. Warnke, Former Director, U.S. Arms
Control and Disarmament Agency The first systematic appraisal of
the utility of unilateral initiatives in arms control, this study
combines theory and case studies to provide important insights and
implications for U.S. policy. Graham H. Stuart Professor of
International Relations, Stanford University I consider Dr. Rose's
book to be a very significant contribution to the field. The
topic--unilateral arms control initiatives--is one that has drawn
sporadic attention in the past, but I know of no better analysis of
this important topic than Dr. Rose's. Dan Caldwell, Pepperdine
University The question has been continuously debated since the
1950s: Should unilateral arms control initiatives be treated as
essential steps toward world peace or as the product of wishful
thinking that is in fact dangerous to our national security? Rose
explores the problem through an analysis of Soviet responses to
past American initiatives, where the U.S. exercised restraint in
weapons testing, production, or deployment in attempts to obtain
reciprocal Soviet restraint. In comparative case studies of six
U.S. arms initiatives--some of which succeeded and some of which
failed--he tests and evaluates a series of hypotheses about the
conditions that may favor the success of such initiatives. After
outlining the major features of the arms control controversy, Rose
surveys the theoretical literature to identify factors that may
favor successful initiatives. These include aspects of the
bargaining process; cost-benefit calculations about the military,
political, and economic consequences of reciprocating an
initiative; and other elements in the domestic and international
environment that may effect the outcome of bargaining. The factors
that are influenced by the domestic nature or international
situation of the Soviet Union are examined in detail.

For centuries, Cambridge University has attracted some of the
world's greatest mathematicians. This 1889 book gives a compelling
account of how mathematics developed at Cambridge from the middle
ages to the late nineteenth century, from the viewpoint of a
leading scholar based at Trinity College who was closely involved
in teaching the subject. The achievements of notable individuals
including Newton and his school are set in the context of the
history of the university, its sometimes uneasy relationship with
the town community, the college system, and the origin and growth
of the mathematical tripos.
In appearance they are the same, but their personalities are
strangely different. Intertwined in their lives is the Marques de
Mansura, who seems to defy time and the normal bounds of reality
and whose fascination with identical twins contains the perverse
wish to induce the annihilation of one twin by the other. His
powerful influence and occult powers threaten to bring about this
very end. For those who wish to save them, there will be a
monumental struggle that will take them to Paris in the decadent
1860s, to the Tabernas Desert in Spain, and even, through an occult
trick of time, Ancient Alexandria of the 2nd Century BC. Their
paths will cross with Cora Pearl, the renowned Parisian courtesan,
the artists, Gustave Moreau, Gustave Dore, and the flamboyant,
Felicien Rops. The poet, Alfred Tennyson, will also play a role and
the twin Mariana bears an uncanny resemblance to the Mariana of his
tragic poem, 'Mariana in the South', written before she was born.
Whilst Mariana hopes for peace and solace in the desert, her twin,
Marguerite, moves towards villainy as her dark, guiding star.This
novel is a striking exploration of the fascination of identical
twins cleverly set across 1860s Paris, the Tabernas Desert in Spain
and Ancient Alexandria.
Spain, 1920s. The lives of three Carmelite nuns intersect and
develop through a period of intense experience. In their personal
histories there is great contrast, from the artistic exuberance of
Paris in 'La Belle Epoque' to slavery in Africa, but a past element
is shared that has deeply affected each one.William Rose adeptly
guides the narrative through Africa, Spain and France in the early
decades of the 20th century, as the characters reveal their
histories and discover the destinies that await them. This novel is
a striking exploration of personal history aided by the spirited
observations of an eccentric French psychoanalyst. It is also an
emotive reflection upon the agony of maternal loss and betrayal,
and upon love.

cherished world of this celebrated American icon.
Together with the second report of Faustus, containing his
appearances and the deeds of Wagner 1594. The Faust problem was not
peculiar to the Christian era. The Jews had their Solomon and the
Greeks their Prometheus, but it was only at the end of the Middle
Ages, when the old world was in the melting pot, that there arose
the most famous of all these legends, the most curious element in
which is perhaps the fact that there was at the source of it an
actual person.
Pleadings Without Tears has become established as one of the most
successful books on practical legal drafting in the context of
litigation. This new ninth edition is fully updated to take account
of all Civil Procedure Rule (CPR) changes since the last edition.
The book takes a practical and insightful look at the subject of
legal drafting, enabling the reader to become confident in
approaching this often unnecessarily daunting subject. It focuses
on core skills and fundamental rules while clearly addressing each
stage of the process, and goes beyond a straightforward setting out
of the precedents and authorities relevant to statements of case.
Giving clear examples of how to set out relevant matters with
clarity and precision, this book encourages the reader to give full
consideration to concise and clear identification of the subject
matter of the action, the issues of the case, and the parties'
respective positions in respect to those issues. With a wealth of
practical examples and anecdotes - and illustrated throughout with
cartoons - the light and entertaining style, combined with detailed
analysis and explanation, enables the reader to easily acquire a
thorough understanding of drafting.
