The U.S. scientific community has long led the world in research on such areas as public health, environmental science, and issues affecting quality of life. Our scientists have produced landmark studies on the dangers of DDT, tobacco smoke, acid rain, and global warming. But at the same time, a small yet potent subset of this community leads the world in vehement denial of these dangers. Merchants of Doubt tells the story of how a loose-knit group of high-level scientists and scientific advisers, with deep connections in politics and industry, ran effective campaigns to mislead the public and deny well-established scientific knowledge over four decades. Remarkably, the same individuals surface repeatedly-some of the same figures who have claimed that the science of global warming is not settled denied the truth of studies linking smoking to lung cancer, coal smoke to acid rain, and CFCs to the ozone hole. Doubt is our product, wrote one tobacco executive. These experts supplied it. Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway, historians of science, roll back the rug on this dark corner of the American scientific community, showing how ideology and corporate interests, aided by a too-compliant media, have skewed public understanding of some of the most pressing issues of our era.

Nearly two centuries after declaring the end of history, Hegel remains a rich source of insights into our historical nature. The essays collected here interpret and develop those insights, while also challenging Hegels philosophical approach to comprehend present and future phenomena that he could neither experience nor imagine. They represent the very best in contemporary scholarship on Hegel and history, and collectively they address all of the important and disputed topics in the field Hegels claim that history has an end, whether his philosophy of history is Eurocentric or racist, how elements of what he terms subjective spirit and objective spirit contribute to historical development, and the relationship between religion and his philosophy of history.

This book addresses the problem of religiously based conflict and violence via six case studies. It stresses particularly the structural and relational aspects of religion as providing a sense of order and a networked structure that enables people to pursue quite prosaic and earthly concerns. The book examines how such concerns link material and spiritual salvation into a holy alliance. As such, whilst the religions concerned may be different, they address the same problems and provide similar explanations for meaning, success, and failure in life. Each author has conducted their own field-work in the religiously based conflict regions they discuss, and together the collection offers perspectives from a variety of different national backgrounds and disciplines.

Lo Ching is one of Chinas foremost contemporary poet-painters. Despite the differences in their circumstances, many contemporary Chinese painters share one common trait they have been stimulated by contact with contemporary Western art, but they did not merely imitate it instead, they have rediscovered the abstract and expressionistic possibilities in their own tradition. It is in this sense that they are heirs to the great tradition of Chinese painting. Through their synthesis of the theories, techniques and styles of traditional literati painting in their own work, they were able to achieve innovation that enriched the tradition. These artists exemplify one of the best ways to be contemporary Chinese artist. Lo Ching has internalized such conflicting state of tradition and modernity (or even post-modernity, if you will) in his work. The Chinese tradition takes a not so subtle turn in the Taiwanese environment. Indeed, Taiwan was, incidentally, the most curious and embracing place for matters of experimental nature, particularly during late 1970s to 1980s when Lo Ching rose to fame. The rise of industrialization, post-industrialization, and curious issue of Taiwans cultural identity created a nurturing and controversial ground for creative talents. Industrialization and post-industrialization are subjects of Lo Chings work. Certainly, there is an oddity in Lo Chings depiction of alien saucers and floating rocks and mountains, yet Lo Chings work presents a fresh curiosity that had not been explored in the practice of in painting precisely for that reason. Scholars often used the phrase reinvention of the Chinese landscape to describe and define Lo Chings work and his motivation behind it, and its not entirely correct. To put it in correct historical term, however, it was not the artist who industrialized the landscape, not to mention one can easily argue that the urban landscape of Taiwan is one that is drastically different than landscapes in China. Lo Chingswork has a heightened sense of awareness in its presentation of any subject in this matter, and that Lo Chings work is very conscious of the environment that its content was derived from. Urbanity, interestingly enough, would be an idea that is in opposition to the tradition of Chinese literati landscape painting, for it means the destruction of nature. **

This book examines the history of Belgiums annexation of the former German territories of Eupen and Malmedy during the interwar period. Focusing on Herman Baltias transitory regime and Belgiums ambivalence about the fate of its new territories, the book charts the strained relations between Baltias regime and Brussels, the regimes path to dissolution, and the failed retrocession of the territory to Germany. Through close analysis of primary source material, Vincent OConnell investigates the efforts of Baltias provisional government to assimilate the regions inhabitants into Belgium. The ultimate failure of that assimilation, he argues, may be traced back not only to incessant pro-German agitation, but to flawed Belgian policy from the outset. Framed in the context of a post-Versailles Europe, the book offers an interesting case study not only of the ebbs and flows of international politics across the frontier zones of Europe in the interwar years, but of how populations react to changes in national sovereignty. **From the Back Cover This book examines the history of Belgiums annexation of the former German territories of Eupen and Malmedy during the interwar period.

Together with the National Library of Ireland, Architectural Press presents seventy previously unpublished drawings by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The identification in the National Library of Ireland of three sketchbooks, from which these drawings have been selected, represents a significant addition to the body of early drawings by Mackintosh. The sketches date from a crucial period in the young mans development, spanning his highly successful student years and the beginnings of his professional career. Each of the three sketchbooks covers an area central to his growth as an artist the architecture of his native Scotland, an important scholarship journey in Italy and, Mackintoshs first love and greatest influence, the study of plants and growing things. Essentially private, these little known and unique works provide privileged access to significant moments in the artists intellectual and emotional life. In this book Elaine Grogan attempts to take them out of the library display-case and bring them to life in the hands of the reader. She invites us to look over Mackintoshs shoulder on his early tentative steps towards fulfilment as a creative genius. Connections are traced, both backwards in time to his training and forwards to his great successes and eventual bitter eclipse. ullGain a new understanding of a crucial period in Charles Rennie Mackintoshs development through these unpublished sketches llConnect his sketch books of Scotland, Italy and botany to later great works llBe inspired by these private, yet significant sketcheslul**
