Picking up where MINORITIES AT RISK left off, PEOPLES VERSUS STATES offers an expanded and updated perspective on ethnic and nationalist conflict throughout the world, as well as efforts to manage it. Ted Gurr surveys the behavior of 275 politically active ethnic groups during the 1990s and pinpoints the factors that encourage the assertion of ethnic identities. Whereas his highly acclaimed 1993 book presented a disturbing picture of spreading ethnic violence, this volume documents a pronounced decline since the early 1990sa decline attributable, in part at least, to many states aba

This third edition of Violence in America is a completely new book with all 12 chapters of this volume written specifically for it. These chapters survey a wealth of new research on the long-term dynamics of murder and other crimes of violence. The contributors identify and diagnose the circumstances of recurring epidemics of violent crime that have swept the social landscape of the United States in the last 150 years, including waves of immigration, the social dislocation of war, and growing concentrations of urban poverty. They also evaluate the traits of political assassins and assess the

This book provides coverage of all aspects of lipid biochemistry and is intended for undergraduates, although it will also be useful for postgraduates and research workers as a first reference. This fourth edition has been rewritten and restructured to incorporate recent advances and to present a broader range of material. The organization of the content is based on an approach which classifies lipids primarily in terms of their functions in living organisms, rather than according to chemical structure. The first chapters deals with definitions, terminology and chemical classifications, and th

This is a newly revised edition of Andrew Gurr’s classic account of the people for whom Shakespeare wrote his plays. Gurr assembles evidence from the writings of the time to describe the physical structure of the playhouses, the services provided in the auditorium, the cost of a ticket and a cushion, the size of the crowds, the smells, the pickpockets, and the collective feelings generated by the plays. As well as revising and adding new material which has emerged since the second edition, Gurr develops new sections. He considers the difference between Shakespearean and modern thinking a
