The Iraq War shows no sign of ending, NATO is progressively more mired in conflict in Afghanistan, and the al-Qaida movement has established safe havens in western Pakistan while being seen once again as a major threat. In light of this, the new Oxford Research Group international security report questions current policies and argues for the adoption of sustainable security as the underlying approach. Tackling events in chronological order over the key 2006-07 period, the report offers a clear and compelling account of a ''war on terror'' that has gone wrong in every major respect and is in urgent need of a comprehensive re-thinking of the entire outlook. Comments on earlier editions of the Oxford Research Group International Security Report: "Incisive, elegant, profound: if you want to understand what happened and why, you should start here." GEORGE MONBIOT "Paul Rogers is a secular prophet for our trouble age. This analysis should be required reading in the Pentagon." DAVID LLOYN, BBC "Paul Rogers has proved himself, time and again, to be a dispassionate analyst of events in Iraq ... this is a must-read." TOM WALKER, SUNDAY TIMES

Every generation or so, a team comes along whose march toward victory is so improbable that you can''t help but root them along. The 1950 Philadelphia Phillies was that kind of team; young and spirited, the Whiz Kids played a raw, emotional brand of baseball, nipping the Brooklyn Dodgers on the final day of the season to bring the National League''s perennial doormat its first title in 35 years. Hall-of-Fame member Robin Roberts, the team''s ace starter, peppers his recollections with snippets of oral history from his teammates to produce a book as lively as the team itself.--

Although forest health may be difficult to define and measure, a strong demand exists for assessment of forest conditions at various state, regional, and national scales. Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) is a national program designed to measure the status, changes, and trends of forest conditions annually. This report presents a broad view of forest health issues affecting the Interior West region of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. We found that the forests of the Interior West have changed considerably in the past century. What is more difficult to assess is whether humans have promoted change that is irreversible, or whether the change we see in the forested landscape is within healthy bounds. Discussions of forest health and forest cover change, the developed and wildland interface, insect and disease disturbances, watershed health, biodiversity, and air quality comprise the body of this report. This initial report sets the stage for more in-depth reports on forest health in the Interior West by introducing the FHM program, defining "the forest" regionally, discussing prominent issues, and displaying summary FHM data taken from 1996-1999. A website address is provided on the inside back cover of this report to solicit reader suggestions for improving future FHM reports.

There are few today who can claim that the US occupation of Iraq has been a success, for either side. A War Too Far takes this on by looking back on the many unanswered questions about the invasion itself. What was the real reason for the Iraq War? Did George Bush ever have a strategy to confront al-Qaida in one arena? How does the invasion alter Iraq''s relationship with Iran? And what does this mean for the future? Examining the delicate balance of power in Iraq, this book explores the options for a US exit strategy, and how the invasion affects America''s relationship with Iran. Paul Rogers explores: • The neo-conservative vision of a US-dominated Middle East • The oil link – Iraq''s significance in energy geopolitics • Links with Israel – the development of close military co-operation between the US and Israeli military • The growing possibility of a war on Iran and its potential repercussions

"What does the end of the Cold War mean for world peace? What kind of new world is being constructed out of the former East-West confrontation? The opportunities now exist to create a genuinely peaceful and just new world order. Paul Rogers and Malcolm Dando, widely respected defence analysts, show how this can be achieved." "A Violent Peace begins by examining threats to global stability in the post Cold War era. It looks at the transformation of the nuclear arms race in the 1980s. Do the current arms control processes really curb the development and deployment of the new weapons or will the armaments momentum built up in the last four decades result in more pressure for proliferation throughout the world?" "Recent events have focussed on the spread of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, ballistic missiles and area-impact munitions. As the East-West rivalries appear to diminish, will the industrialised countries of the North slip into a new pattern of confrontation, with the development of military force projection capabilities designed to ''keep the violent peace'' in the Middle East and other parts of the Third World?" "Above all, in a world of finite resources and increased environmental limitations on economic growth, will conflict between the haves and the have-nots usher in a new world disorder just as the ending of the Cold War appeared to be offering a chance of international peace?" "The agenda set by the authors for coping with the challenges now facing the world community includes not only traditional security issues such as arms control but also the wider issues of poverty, the destruction of the environment and the North-South axis of conflict. The intense East-West confrontation over the past 40 years has dominated strategic thinking and excluded large sections of the world''s population from consideration. It is now time to develop new thinking on international security to deal effectively with a changing but not necessarily a less dangerous world."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
