Misunderestimated: The President Battles Terrorism, John Kerry, and the Bush Haters


A riveting portrait of President Bush as he broadens the war on terror overseas -- and plunges into high-stakes political battles at home"They misunderestimated me," George W. Bush famously remarked on the eve of his historic presidency. Fractured syntax aside, Bush was right: his detractors misunderstood his appeal to the American public, and underestimated his considerable political skills. In this compelling new book, Bill Sammon reveals how the president is turning these misperceptions to his advantage in the looming showdown with John Kerry and the Bush haters.

Historical Dictionary of Terrorism

 
For a topic so widespread and diversified, it’s no simple task to explain just which acts or groups are terrorist since one man’s terrorist may be another’s enforcer of justice. Still, this new, updated, and expanded edition of the Historical Dictionary of Terrorism certainly makes the situation much clearer by presenting an amazing amount of information in the dictionary’s hundreds of entries on main issues, techniques, and counterterrorism measures. The chronology puts terrorism into a historical context, the introduction provides necessary background information, and the list of acronyms allows readers to keep track of organizations best known by just a few letters. Finally, there is a comprehensive and well-structured bibliography. 

Protection of Civilian Infrastructure from Acts of Terrorism

 
Today, there is an urgent need to develop an understanding for the systems behaviors and vulnerabilities of interacting infrastructure networks in order to protect that infrastructure from naturally occurring hazards and man-made acts of terrorism. Infrastructure is the underlying foundation or basic facilities, services, and installations needed for the functioning of a community or society, such as transportation and communications systems, water and power lines, and public institutions. 

Teaching and Researching: Computer-Assisted Language Learning (Applied Linguistics in Action)


 Computers play a crucial and rapidly evolving role in education, particularly in the area of language learning. Far from being a tool mimicking a textbook or teacher, Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) has the power to transform language learning through the pioneering application of innovative research and practices.   Technological innovation creates opportunities to revisit old ideas, conduct new research and challenge established beliefs, meaning that the field is constantly undergoing change. This fully revised second edition brings teachers and researchers up-to-date by offering: A comprehensive overview of CALL and current research issues Step-by-step instructions on conducting research projects in CALL Extensive resources in the form of contacts, websites and free software references A glossary of terms related to CALL Closely linked to other branches of study such as autonomy in language learning and computer science, CALL is at the cutting edge of current research directions. This book is essential reading for all teachers and researchers interested in using CALL to make language learning a richer, more productive and more enjoyable task.   Ken Beatty has taught at colleges and universities in Canada, Asia and the Middle East. His publications include more than 100 textbooks for learning English as a Second Language, as well as various websites, CD-ROMs and educational videos.

Sex and the Citadel: Intimate Life in a Changing Arab World




Sex and the Citadel: Intimate Life in a Changing Arab World By Shereen El Feki
2013 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 0307377393 | EPUB | 1 MB




If you really want to know a people, start by looking inside their bedrooms. As political change sweeps the streets and squares, the parliaments and presidential palaces of the Arab world, Shereen El Feki has been looking at an upheaval a little closer to home—in the sexual lives of men and women in Egypt and across the region. The result is an informative, insightful, and engaging account of a highly sensitive and still largely secret aspect of Arab society.

Sex is entwined in religion, tradition, politics, economics, and culture, so it is the perfect lens through which to examine the complex social landscape of the Arab world. From pregnant virgins to desperate housewives, from fearless activists to religious firebrands, from sex work to same-sex relations, Sex and the Citadel takes a fresh look at the sexual history of the region and brings new voices to the debate over its future. 

This is no peep show or academic treatise but a highly personal and often humorous account of one woman’s journey to better understand Arab society at its most intimate and, in the process, to better understand her own origins. Rich with five years of groundbreaking research, Sex and the Citadel gives us a unique and timely understanding of everyday lives in a part of the world that is changing before our eyes.
