This Is A New Release Of The Original 1905 Edition.

This is a new release of the original 1927 edition.

This shorter version of the highly successfulContemporary World Regional Geography, 2e gives readers a fresh new approach that combines fundamental geographical elements, internal regional diversity, and contemporary issues. This approach allows serious discussion of cultural and environmental issues, as well as political and economic issues. The main innovation in this completely rewritten text is in the ordering of the material covered. While other texts cut photos, illustrations, and boxed material from their WRG books, this essentials version is a completely rewritten text by the authors ofContemporary World Regional Geography, 2e. Each of the nine regional chapters opens with a one- or two-page map of the region, short accounts of people or events to provide a personal flavor of the region, an outline of the chapter contents, and a short section placing the region in its wider global context. Each regional chapter is consistently organized by three sections. The first section summarizes the distinctive physical and human geographies of the region; the second section explores the internal diversity of the region at subregional, selected country, and local levels. The third section focuses on a selection of contemporary issues that are important to the people of each region and frequently have implications for the rest of the world. Each regional chapter follows the same framework, allowing students to easily make comparisons from one world region to the next. Students are encouraged to consider what it means to be part of a global community and to develop their geographical understandings of world events. The authors have created a text that is readable, with a consistent structure within chapters, containing superior maps and illustrations, and finally – to offer a concise and more affordable text.

The Eisenhower administration's confrontation with Africa demonstrates the significance of race in the creation and execution of American foreign policy. In this new work, historian George White, Jr., explores the ways in which Eisenhower diplomacy, influenced by America's racialized fantasies, fears, and desires, turned the Cold War into a global sanctuary for the rehabilitation of Whiteness.

Why do nations come into conflict? What factors lead to the horrors of ethnic cleansing? This timely book offers clear-eyed answers to these questions by exploring how national identity is shaped by place, focusing especially on Serbia, Hungary, and Romania. Moving beyond studies of nationalism that consider only the economic and geostrategic value of territory, George W. White shows that the very core of national identity is intimately bound to specific places. Indeed, nations define themselves in terms of spaces that have historical, linguistic, and religious meaning, as Serbs have clearly demonstrated in Kosovo. These territories are concrete expressions of a nationAIs identity, both past and present. With his detailed analysis of the places that define national identity in Southeastern Europe, White convincingly shows why territorial disputes so often escalate into war.

Biggest Alligator Flipped Over by a Golfer (see page 25) Most Shots Over Par on a Hole After Heeding the Call of Nature in a Major Tournament (see page 36) Eye-popping aces, out-of-control pros, and outrageous Opens are the name of the game in this hilarious and all-too-true collection of golf's funniest moments. These true tall tales feature touring pros Lee Trevino, Seve Ballesteros, Greg Norman, Sam Snead, Nick Faldo, Jack Nicklaus, Craig Stadler, and Gary Player as well as celebrity golfers Fred Astaire and Bobby Knight, among others. In the unpredictable world of nutty golf records, golf balls wind up in some extremely hard-to-hit places--up trees, in pockets, or in the beaks of hungry ravens-while putters and drivers are strangled, hurled for distance, or dragged behind cars by their revenge-seeking owners. Topless dancers, de-pantsed pros, streaking fans, and caddying llamas find their way onto some of America's most famous courses. Witty, wild, and wacky, "The Golf Nut's Book of Amazing Feats and Records" is your guide to the fairway phenomena that never find their way into standard golf record books. Bruce Nash and Allan Zullo are the authors of the Sports Hall of Shame book series and the nationally syndicated "Sports Hall of "Shame" comic feature. George White is golf editor of the "Orlando Sentinel" and contributes to many golf magazines.
