New York, NY, U.S.A.: Free Press, The, 1991. First Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Saddam Husssein's armies have been routed, but the world will continue to wonder just who Saddam is and how he came to exercise power. In the heat of the Gulf war, journalists and others rushed to depict him as an implacable tyrant who could not be understood by reasonable Westerners. Now, however, two specialists on Middle East history and politics have combined their expertise to write the first in-depth political biography of the man who put Iraq on a collision course with the world. Drawing on a wealth of Iraqi, Arab, Soviet, Western, and Israeli sources, including interviews with people who have had close contact with Saddam Hussein throughout his career, the book traces the meteroic transformation of an ardent nationalist and obscure Ba'th party member into an absolute dictator. Placing Hussein in the larger context of the ancient and modern Arab world and Iraqi history and traditions, Karsh and Rautsi examine the nature of the political system in which he thrived, a system built on blood and fear, betrayal and deceit. They skillfully interweave a realistic analysis of Gulf politics and history, with a penetrating inquiry into the mind of a contemporary tyrant. The authors decode the surprising and bewildering actions of Saddam Hussein, explaining how the same man could simultaneoulsy inspire his people while committing them to untold sacrifices, could be loyal and generous to a kinsman while subjecting a political opponent to unspeakable atrocities, could be alternately savage and restrained in his military decisions, and could appeal to international law at the same time that he was violating it. This authoritative biography, the first to tell the full story of the Gulf crisis and the war through the lens of Hussein himself, is essential for understanding one of the most confounding leaders of modern times, as well as the events he set in motion and their long-term consequences. Fine, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. BIOS1, Free Press, The, 1991, 5, New Delhi, India: Christian World Imprints/B.R. Publishing Corporation, 2017. This book examines the different interpretations of the understanding of illness, health and healing by the Biblical (Old Testament) Prophets in order to address the issues related to these concepts in our contemporary context.The prophetic literatures of the pre-exilic, exilic and post-exilic times were corrective, subversive alternative to the pre-dominant idea that health and healing were something very physical. However, the prophetic understanding corrected the notion that health and healing is not just physical but it was also emotional, relational, spiritual, and ecological. Therefore, the prophetic literatures are not just important for the study in their own context but are also extremely relevant to our time and context where relationships are broken, ecological crisis is at high risk, injustice prevails, violence and fear grips the health of the individual and the community. All the three prophetic books: Hosea, Isaiah and Jeremiah are structured in such manner so as to underscore God's overarching healing love. Each book not only directly presents God as seeking health and healing, but also in its overall structure makes clear that the portrayal of anger and wrath is serving a rhetorical strategy meant to foster trust in the people a loving, patient, and healing God. This book is a treat for those who are willing to amplify their radius of understanding illness, health and healing from a `different' yet relevant perspective. Printed Pages: 262.. Hardcover.

The volume deals with the civilizational dimensions of religion and culture in India. It underlines the point that religion and culture are important elements of all civilizations but it is their interplay that has given a unique feature to Indian civilization. The essays interrogate the various western sociological discourses on civilization and articulate the alternative conceptualizations available in Indian sociology. They underline the unity and diversity of Indian civilization, present the idea of civilization as conjoined with the idea of civil society and study the ecological crisis in the modern world. They focus on the dialogical relationship between tribal and non-tribal religions, link between religion and environment, religious philanthropy and Christian influence on Hindu way of life in India. They also delve into the concept of composite culture in India, scrutinising aspects of folk religion and cultures to show, for instance, how art forms get accumulated into the idea of culture. The volume will be of immense interest to a variety of scholars and students associated with the study of Indian religion and culture.

Printworld (P) Ltd., 2011, 6, New Delhi, India: Orient BlackSwan, 2009 Amulya Reddy is an iconic name in the world of energy policy and development alternatives. His work has inspired several generations of scholars, policy analysts and activists, and continues to remain important and relevant. However, his writings are spread out across a large range of sources: journals, book chapters, newspapers and magazines. This book selects some of his most salient contributions into one easily accessible reader. The first part consists of six papers on technology choice and development alternatives, including three broad conceptual essays on science, technology and development pathways; three papers that provide concrete answers; and an article on the World Bank, critically analysing the policies of one of the leading international financial institutions. The second section addresses Reddys work on energy policy. This section starts out with a broad overview of the energy crisis in India. It is followed by a long essay articulating Reddy's policy making framework, his well known DEFENDUS?methodology. The next two articles focus on rural contexts, and discuss goals, strategies, and design criteria for energy provision therein. The section ends with two broader papers on the lessons of the California Energy Crisis, and Nuclear Power, respectively. The book is prefaced with an autobiographical essay, and excerpts of an interview he gave to the editor in the summer of 2002. Reddy was a citizen-scientist intent on building scientific and technological traditions that addressed the needs of the neediest? His work exemplifies what the noted social scientist, Ashis Nandy, has described as alternative sciences? What is especially remarkable is that Reddy managed to be a highly original and productive scientist while defying most of the conventions of how knowledge is produced in institutionalised science in India. Equally remarkable is the manner in which he has consistently integrated morality and social vision with his quest for knowledge making. Printed Pages: 384.. First Edition. Hardcover.

Vol 20, issue 16, is the final issue, the magazine then being discontinued., Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2015. Softcover. Brand new book. During the Second World War, an unprecedented number of families were torn apart. As the Nazi empire crumbled, millions roamed the continent in search of their loved ones. The Lost Children tells the story of these families, and of the struggle to determine their fate. We see how the reconstruction of families quickly became synonymous with the survival of European civilization itself. Even as Allied officials and humanitarian organizations proclaimed a new era of individualist and internationalist values, Tara Zahra demonstrates that they defined the "best interests" of children in nationalist terms. Sovereign nations and families were seen as the key to the psychological rehabilitation of traumatized individuals and the peace and stability of Europe. Based on original research in German, French, Czech, Polish, and American archives, The Lost Children is a heartbreaking and mesmerizing story. It brings together the histories of eastern and western Europe, and traces the efforts of everyoneÑfrom Jewish Holocaust survivors to German refugees, from Communist officials to American social workersÑto rebuild the lives of displaced children. It reveals that many seemingly timeless ideals of the family were actually conceived in the concentration camps, orphanages, and refugee camps of the Second World War, and shows how the process of reconstruction shaped Cold War ideologies and ideas about childhood and national identity. This riveting tale of families destroyed by war reverberates in the lost children of today's wars and in the compelling issues of international adoption, human rights and humanitarianism, and refugee policies. Tara Zahra is Professor of History at the University of Chicago, and a MacArthur Fellow. "Zahra's book contributes significantly to understanding postwar childhood and refugee history in central Europe. The book's merit lies not only in portraying the very real welfare issues regarding thousands of stateless, expelled, and otherwise lost children in this region, but also in showing how those issues became vectors for other early postwar issuesÉ This work has resonance beyond central Europe; historians for the Balkans or the USSR, for example, will find Zahra's insights and approaches highly useful. Scholars and students of postwar Europe more generally will appreciate the extra depth she brings to an understanding of humanitarian issues in these years."ÑR. Spickermann, Choice "In this impressive multinational study, Zahra charts the history of humanitarian relief from the 1915 Armenian genocide to the postwar era, in the process demonstrating how the institutions of the family became politicized, whereby governments across Europe after 1945 began concerning themselves with promoting the family unit. Zahra demonstrates the impact of pre-1939 humanitarian campaigns on wartime thought."ÑFrederic Krome, Library Journal "[A] fascinating bookÉ Tara Zahra, a historian who made her name writing about the ambiguities of nationality in Czechoslovakia, has now added an important contribution to the growing literature on Europe's reconstruction after World War IIÉ Zahra is especially good at tracing the connections between pedagogic theories and nationalist politics, and her rich source basis allows her to demonstrate the ubiquity of the problem."ÑMark Mazower, New Republic online "[A] superb bookÉ [A] wide-ranging, exceptionally well-researched study."ÑAdam Kirsch, Tablet Magazine "Zahra's research examines the difficulties inherent in attempting to mend the social dislocation caused by warÉ Zahra's work is insightful in considering what treatment of lost children can tell us about broader developments in the post-war period, both in terms of how nations interacted with each other and how psychologists understood the impact of war on children."ÑHester Vaizey, Times Higher Education "Innovative and compelling, Zahra's book brilliantly challenges our understandings of trauma, relief, and rehabilitation, carefully elucidating the competing and highly ideologized claims on children by family and nation after a war that had devastated both."ÑAtina Grossmann, author of Jews, Germans, and Allies "Beautifully written and exhaustively researched, The Lost Children makes the story of family reconstruction central to the history of social and political reconstruction in the years following the end of the Second World War."ÑRobert Moeller, the University of California, Irvine "Across a European landscape shattered by the death and displacement of World War II and the Holocaust, an extraordinary humanitarian agenda crystallized: saving the children. Tara Zahra's elegantly written history brilliantly reconstructs the moment, offering a breakthrough example of the new transnational European history."ÑSamuel Moyn, author of The Last Utopia "Zahra deftly draws important lessons about conceptions of childhood and nationality from the ways international organizations, individual countries, and families themselves sought to rebuild shattered lives. An essential contribution to our understanding of a refashioned postwar world."ÑNorman Naimark, author of Stalin's Genocides "A fascinating, important, and highly original book which considers the implications and consequences of World War II for children."

It is followed by a long essay articulating Reddy's policy making framework, his well known DEFENDUS?methodology. The next two articles focus on rural contexts, and discuss goals, strategies, and design criteria for energy provision therein. The section ends with two broader papers on the lessons of the California Energy Crisis, and Nuclear Power, respectively. The book is prefaced with an autobiographical essay, and excerpts of an interview he gave to the editor in the summer of 2002. Reddy was a citizen-scientist intent on building scientific and technological traditions that addressed the needs of the neediest? His work exemplifies what the noted social scientist, Ashis Nandy, has described as alternative sciences? What is especially remarkable is that Reddy managed to be a highly original and productive scientist while defying most of the conventions of how knowledge is produced in institutionalised science in India. Equally remarkable is the manner in which he has consistently integrated morality and social vision with his quest for knowledge making. Printed Pages: 384.. First Edition. Hardcover.
