The publisher first saw Kim Cunningham’s artwork - and her father’s clever and witty poetry - at an exhibition of New Hampshire artists near the company’s warehouse in Peterborough. With two young children and bookcases brimming over with alphabet, animal, nonsense, and every other kind of children’s book, it takes a lot to impress him. This work did; even an amateur could see at a glance that here was the Real Thing - both the rhymes and the images.The verses by her father, a New York copywriter, are original, catchy, and sophisticated (or as sophisticated as you can g

Nematology is not only about those lovely Nobel prize winning creatures, nematodes, but also about the people who work with them, the nematologists. Your good friends Bengt Eriksson, David McNamara and John Webster have cajoled a whole galaxy of story-telling nematologists to reminisce about their loved ones, their nematodes, and to tell us how they got to know them so well. It is all disclosed in "An Anecdotal History of Nematology". It is good nematology, but it’s different, and you will be able to read the other side of some of our nematological world’s most fascinating discover

On a warm spring morning in 1999, in the midst of NATO’s air campaign against Yugoslavia, Serbian security and paramilitary forces descended on the small village of Cuska, near the western Kosovo city of Pec. Soldiers with painted faces and masks rounded up the population and forced them to assemble in the center of the village. The women, children, and elderly were separated from any men who had not managed to flee. The villagers were threatened and robbed of their money, jewelry, and identification papers. Twenty-nine men were divided into three groups and taken into three separate hou

Since World War II, refugee organizations have faced a recurrent challenge: the manipulation of refugees by warring parties to further their own aims. Some armies in civil wars, facing military defeat, use refugees as assets to establish the international legitimacy of their cause, treat refugee camps as sanctuaries and recruitment pools, and limit access to refugees to ensure that they will not repatriate. Focusing on the geopolitical security environment surrounding militarized camps and the response of humanitarian agencies, the contributors to this volume examine the ways armed gr
