by Carmem Dolores Da Silva, Maria Aparecida Pereira Da Silva, and Rejane Sousa Da Silva
Drawing on examples from the 20th century's "total wars" and also "limited wars", terrorist campaigns and "complex emergencies" such as Rwanda and Somalia, this study argues that the media's performance in wartime may result as much from peacetime journalistic practices as from the special circumstances of war. The book concludes by assessing the impact of new communications technology and how the representation of future wars is likely to differ from those in the past.

by Eisei Kurimoto and Simon Simonse

Herein is new information about age systems in North East Africa, setting them firmly in a wider spatial and temporal context. Topics exam...

Fear and Crime in Latin America (Routledge Studies in Latin American Politics)

After long spells of dictatorships and civil wars, violence in the region was supposed to be under control yet crime rates have continued to sk...

Adv Experimental Social Psychology, V 17 (Advances in Experimental Social Psychology)
A classic study by a leading theorist of revolution, Revolutionary Change has gone through eleven printings since its appearance in 1966 and been translated into German, French, and Korean. This carefully revised edition not only brings the original analysis up to date but adds two entirely new chapters: one on terrorism, the most celebrated form of political violence throughout the 1970s, and one on theories of revolution from Brinton to the present day.
This volume explores issues and themes related to violence against women. It is distinctive in two ways. First, the editors have convened an international cohort of contributing scholars, whose assessment of the pervasiveness and urgency of the problems and their proposals for solutions derives from their pneumatology: their theology of the Holy Spirit. Second, this book represents quite simply the first sustained effort to bring together in one volume Pentecostal voices from a variety of academ...
Ingo Hasselbach was born in East Germany in 1968, the only child of actively Communist parents. He grew up despising the rules they lived by, and hating the state.

In 1987 he was sent to prison for shouting "The wall must fall" in a public place. On release, he began working for a secret militant group opposed to the government, and when the government fell he opened up contac...
