The Last Days of Kim Jong-il: The North Korean Threat in a Changing Era by Bruce E Bechtol The Last Days of Kim Jong-il: The North Korean Threat in a Changing Era by Bruce E Bechtol PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad North Korea has remained a thorn in the side of the United States ever since its creation in the aftermath of the Korean conflict of 1950–1953. Crafting a foreign policy that effectively deals with North Korea, while still ensuring stability and security on the Korean Peninsula—and in Northeast Asia as a whole—has proved very challenging for successive American administrations. In the wake of ruler Kim Jong-il’s death in December 2011, analysts and policymakers continue to speculate about the effect his last years as leader will have on the future of North Korea. Bruce Bechtol, Jr. contends that Kim Jong-il’s regime (1994–2011) exacerbated the threats that North Korea posed, and still poses, to the world. Bechtol explains how North Korea presents important challenges on five key fro...

BRING ON THE HABANERO HEAT! From the Introduction... Habanero peppers weren’t very popular where I grew up. They simply weren’t well known in the United States outside of small subgroups of people who loved to walk the line of fiery foods. The hottest thing you could find at the grocery store was the excellent Serrano pepper, or perhaps the ubiquitous jalapeno. Anyone who knows me knows that I adore the jalapeno pepper. I’ve dedicated several cookbooks to them, but as one moves from dabbling with chili peppers to cooking with them daily, you can’t help but graduate to hotter and hotter peppers. Hence, the habanero. Today, haba...

Innocent Bystanders: Developing Countries and the War on Drugs Innocent Bystanders: Developing Countries and the War on Drugs PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad The drug policies of wealthy consuming countries emphasize criminalization, interdiction, and eradication. Such extreme responses to social challenges risk unintended, costly consequences. The evidence presented in this volume is that these consequences are high in the case of current drug policies, particularly for poor transit and producer countries. These costs include the deaths of thousands in the conflict between drug cartels and security forces, political instability, and the infiltration of criminal elements into governments, on the one hand; and increased narcotics use in countries that would not otherwise have been targeted by drug suppliers. Despite such costs, extreme policies could be worthwhile if their benefits were significantly higher than those of more moderate, less costly policies. The authors review the evidence on...

Judeo-Christian Perspectives on Psychology: Human Nature, Motivation, and Change by William R. Miller, Harold D. Delaney Judeo-Christian Perspectives on Psychology: Human Nature, Motivation, and Change by William R. Miller, Harold D. Delaney PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad This volume is a further step in the dialogue between psychology and religion. The central question is how psychology's understanding of human nature might be informed, altered, or expanded by historic Judeo-Christian perspectives. A majority of the U.S. clients that most psychologists serve are religious (primarily Judeo-Christian) in some sense, whereas psychologists tend to be among the least religious of any professional or scientific group. Thoughtful reflections on the interface of psychology with the dominant religious perspective of our culture, by well-respected senior scientists and practitioners, may be a helpful step in bridging this gap. This book will hopefully enhance cooperation and collaboration betw...

Shakespeare's Roman Plays and Their Background (Classic Reprint) by M. W. Maccallum Shakespeare's Roman Plays and Their Background (Classic Reprint) by M. W. Maccallum PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad Excerpt from Shakespeare's Roman Plays and Their Background Shakespeare's Roman plays may be regarded as forming a group by themselves, less because they make use of practically the same authority and deal with similar subjects, than because they follow the same method of treatment, and that method is to a great extent peculiar to themselves. They have points of contact with the English histories, they have points of contact with the free tragedies, but they are not quite on a line with either class. It seems, therefore, possible and desirable to discuss them separately. In doing so I have tried to keep myself abreast of the literature on the subject; which is no easy task when one lives at so great a distance from European libraries, and can go home only on hurried...
