At a time when the world has been blindsided by failures of intelligence, a veteran CBS News correspondent reveals how the news media has betrayed our trust and endangered our democracy.

In his long journalistic experience, he has reported on everything from the fall of the Shah of Iran to the crumbling of communism in East Germany to the bombing of Israel during the first Gulf War. Today he has covered the movements of al Qaeda throughout Europe–a story he was tracking before 9/11. And in the three years since, he has come to a s

Sasha Fenton, author of Modern Palmistry, proves that you can hold the truth in the palm of your hand. With her help, you can learn to recognize if the lifeline is wide-forked (happiness at home) or narrow, which signifies a long struggle. You’ll check whether the first phalanges of the fingers are long (intelligence) or short (someone who thinks less but possibly achieves more). You’ll even be able to tell if that new romance is a good catch without the person knowing that you’re "reading" them! A good palmistry session is a fun way to get acquainted. It breaks the ice, and

There are over 1.5 million Asian Indians in the Americas, most of whom have transplanted the religious customs of their homeland. Transplanting Religious Traditions is a study of how individuals, families, and small groups transport and sustain their religious practices and how they eventually construct stable religious institutions suited to the American context. The book centers on the Indian community in Atlanta, Georgia from 1979 to 1988 but relates the study to America’s East Indian population as a whole.

The phrase "ethnic group" is now part of daily news and political discourse. More ominously, the term "ethnic cleansing" has entered the language in the aftermath of the collapse of Yugoslavia. Despite phrases such as this, we often think of ethnic difference as benign-whether exemplified in food, dress, or music. But is it? Are the kinds of sentiments that we call ethnic-or national-as potentially destructive as those we call racist? Are marches and drumbeats heartwarming traditional rituals or the signs of bitter division? Many books on ethnicity and racism have concentrated on a single coun

This collection of fifteen writings discusses a wide range of painting and sculpture, from the mummy portraits of ancient Egypt to the works of Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns."Ingenious. . . . Intrigued by emerging and unstable reputations, [Fenton] introduces us to Leonardo da Vinci’s half-brother’s son Pierino: a precocious sculptor celebrated by Vasari but virtually forgotten since."—Publish

In this extensively revised edition, Steve Fenton updates his concise and accessible introduction to ethnicity, drawing on new published work and recent social and historical changes. Discussing an extended range of theorists and illustrations from around the world, Fenton explores and clarifies the core meanings and the shifting ground of this contested concept. More space is given to ideas of ’threat’ and ’competition’ in conceptualizing ethnicity, as well as to recent issues in migration, especially increased migration to the US from Central and South America.
