Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Since Somalia, the international community has found itself changing its view of humanitarian intervention. Operations designed to alleviate suffering and achieve peace sometimes produce damaging results. The United Nations, nongovernmental organizations, military and civilian agencies alike find themselves in the midst of confusion and weakness where what they seek are clarity and stability. Competing needs, rights, and values can obscure even the best international efforts to quell violence and assuage crises of poverty. More attention must be paid to the complexity of issues and moral dilemmas involved. This volume of original essays by international policy leaders, practitioners, and scholars brings together insights into the conflicting moral pressures present in different kinds of interventions ranging from Rwanda and Somalia to Haiti, Cambodia, and Bosnia. From their various cultural and professional perspectives the authors cover issues of human rights, sanctions, arms trade, refugees, HIV, and the media. Together they make the case that, although there are no easy answers, moral reflection and content can improve the quality of decisionmaking and intervention in internal conflicts.

Paperback. Condición: Fine. With the warring between left and right, Democrats and Republicans, advocacy groups on one side and advocacy groups on the other, it seems as if those who set our national agenda are those who shout the loudest. But shouldn't scholarship count for more than preconceived notions? Policy and Evidence in a Partisan Age debunks myths about economic and social policy while explaining the standards of evidence that should guide our legislation. Author Paul Gary Wyckoff also recommends revisions to economics and law curricula so that the next generation of legislators will know how to craft evidence-based policy derived from research rather than conventional wisdom and theory.

Reprint, stapled. Condición: Gut. pp. 65-83. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Lengthwise folded, author's name underlined on cover, otherwise very clean. - From the text: The extraordinary exfoliation of English printings of the eclogues of Baptista Mantuanus ("Mantuan" in England since the Renaissance) that begins with Wynkyn de Worde's edition in 1523 might lead us to believe that it was by means of the Adulescentia, his collection of pastoral poetry, that Mantuan first established himself within the culture of sixteenthcentury England. But this is too simple a picture of the situation. For reasons often forgotten today, Mantuan's religious verse - in particular his hagiographic epics celebrating the Virgin Mary and (among other female saints) Margarita, Cecilia, and Catherine of Alexandria, and his De calamitatibus temporum, a three-book jeremiad attacking the waywardness of the times - had an enormous impact on readers at the beginning of the century.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The life of Princess May of Teck is one of the great Cinderella stories in history. From a family of impoverished nobility, she was chosen by Queen Victoria as the bride for her eldest grandson, the scandalous Duke of Clarence, heir to the throne, who died mysteriously before their marriage. Despite this setback, she became queen, mother of two kings, grandmother of the current queen, and a lasting symbol of the majesty of the British throne. Her pivotal role in the abdication of her eldest son, the Duke of Windsor, is just one of the events that provide the backdrop for both thrilling biography and for narrating the splendors and tragedies of the entire house of Windsor.
