Conversations with Terrorists Middle East Leaders on Politics Violence and Empire

Conversations with Terrorists Middle East Leaders on Politics Violence and Empire

Drawing on original research and firsthand interviews Conversations with Terrorists offers critical portraits of six Middle Eastern leaders often labeled as terrorists: Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad Hamas top leader Khaled Meshal Israeli politician Geula Cohen Iranian Revolutionary Guard founder Mohsen Sazargara Hezbollah spiritual advisor Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Fadlallah and former Afghan Radio and Television Ministry head Malamo Nazamy. Veteran journalist Reese Erlich offers them a chance to explain key issues and to respond to charges leveled by the United States. Critiquing these responses and synthesizing a broad range of material Erlich shows that yesterday’s terrorist is today’s national leader and that today’s freedom fighter may become tomorrow’s terrorist. He concludes that the global war on terror has diverted public attention from the war’s real goal—expanding U. S. influence and interests in the Middle East—and offers policy remedies. | Conversations with Terrorists Middle East Leaders on Politics Violence and Empire

Kaplan's Principles of Plant Morphology

Kaplan's Principles of Plant Morphology

Kaplan's Principles of Plant Morphology defines the field of plant morphology providing resources examples and theoretical constructs that illuminate the foundations of plant morphology and clearly outline the importance of integrating a fundamental understanding of plant morphology into modern research in plant genetics development and physiology. As research on developmental genetics and plant evolution emerges an understanding of plant morphology is essential to interpret developmental and morphological data. The principles of plant morphology are being brought into studies of crop development biodiversity and evolution during climate change and increasingly such researchers are turning to old texts to uncover information about historic research on plant morphology. Hence there is great need for a modern reference and textbook that highlights past studies and provides the synthesis of data necessary to drive our future research in plant morphological and developmental evolution. Key Features Numerous illustrations demonstrating the principles of plant morphology Historical context for interpretations of more recent genetic data Firmly rooted in the principles of studying plant form and function Provides evolutionary framework without relying on evolutionary interpretations for plant form Only synthetic treatment of plant morphology on the market Related Titles Les D.

Biology of Fishes

Biology of Fishes

The Third Edition of Biology of Fishes is chiefly about fish as remarkably efficient machines for coping with the many problems that life in water entails and looks at many such special cases. Fishes form the largest group of vertebrates with around 20 000 known species and they display a remarkable diversity of size shape internal structure and ecology to cope with environments ranging from transient puddles to the abyssal depths of the sea. Biology of Fishes does not try to cover all aspects of fish biology but focuses on the ingenious ways in which fish have resolved the particular problems that come from living in water especially body fluid regulation locomotion feeding mechanisms and sensory systems. Enough detail is provided for the reader to be able to go on and use primary research papers. Each chapter has been thoroughly updated and a new chapter on the immune system has been added. This is an ideal textbook for students of fish biology and any of the branches of aquatic biology.

Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods

Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods

For more than 30 years soil testing has been widely used as a basis for determining lime and fertilizer needs. Today a number of procedures are used for determining everything from soil pH and lime requirement to the level of extractable nutrient elements. And as the number of cropped fields being tested increases more and more farmers and growers will come to rely on soil test results. But if soil testing is to be an effective means of evaluating the fertility status of soils standardization of methodology is essential. No single test is appropriate for all soils. Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods is a standard laboratory technique manual for the most commonly used soil analysis procedures. First published in 1974 this Handbook has changed over the years to reflect evolving needs. New test methods and modifications have been added as well as new sections on nitrate heavy metals and quality assurance plans for agricultural testing laboratories.
