QUESTER TIME COLLECTION Stonington, Connecticut 06378 Telephone (203) 535-3860 "An important and timely message, thoughtfully and persuasively delivered." -Elliot L. Richardson The United States and Latin America Never has the United States been more concerned with Latin America -and never have U.S. policies toward the region been so out of date and out of focus. Abraham E Lowenthal offers a penetrating critique of the Reagan administration's management of Latin-American affairs -and offers concrete alternative proposals. The United States has too long been obsessed with the perceived Marxist-Leninist threat in Central America, and policies have been grounded in attitudes of dominance held over from an earlier age, Lowenthal argues. The primary importance of Latin America to the United States lies not in national security conceived in military terms, but in the region's general impact on the U.S. economy. "A major contribution to the overriding question of the Americas: how to restore hemispheric relations between now and the year 2000." -Carlos Fuentes "Abraham Lowenthal's ability to make complex situations understandable can help all Americans put into proper perspective the flood of current crisis news from and about Latin America.. .A fresh, realistic, and stimulating approach to U.S. foreign policy!' -Fr.

Editor's Comment The United States is so big, so diverse and vigorous in its local politics, that many, if not most, of its citizens' more interesting quarrels never make it onto the national news menu. If a dispute occurs close to home, of course, it may loom large to news managers based in New York or Washington. One example: current feminist efforts to abolish men's clubs in Manhattan and the nation's capital. A hot mayoralty election in Chicago, a debate over secular humanism in Mobile, Alabama, a civil rights march in Forsyth County, Georgia-these, too, arouse interest. But, inevitably, much local political activity is encapsulated in nationwide statistics, e.g., there are now 6,424 black elected officials in America. For four decades, there have been fierce, but nationally obscure, po- litical battles in America's cities and towns over a seemingly mundane matter: fluoridation of the local water supply as a dental health measure. Thanks to the popular referendum, a legacy of the Progressive Era, deci- sions by elected city councils or county boards have been regularly chal- lenged at the polls by antifluoridation activists. In roughly 60 percent of such referendums-in Los Angeles, in Springfield, Massachusetts, in Billings, Montana-the antis have won. Why this is so, and what it tells us about American political behavior, is the subject of our essay on the latest such contest-in San Antonio, Texas (p. 162).

    Planetarian Cumulative Index 1972 – 2008 Vol. 1, #1 through Vol. 37, #3 John Mosley [email protected] The PLANETARIAN (ISSN 0090-3213) is published quarterly by the International Planetarium Society under the auspices of the Publications Committee. ©International Planetarium Society, Inc. From the Compiler I compiled the first edition of this index 25 years ago after a frustrating search to find an article that I knew existed and that I really needed. It was a long search without even annual indices to help. By the time I found it, I had run across a dozen other articles that I’d forgotten about but was glad to see again. It was clear that there are a lot of good articles buried in back issues, but that without some sort of index they’d stay lost. I had recently bought an Apple II computer and was receptive to projects that would let me become more familiar with its word processing program. A cumulative index seemed a reasonable project that would be instructive while not consuming too much time. Hah! I did learn some useful solutions to word-processing problems I hadn’t previously known exist, but it certainly did consume more time than I’d imagined by a factor of a dozen or so. You too have probably reached the point where you’ve invested so much time in a project that it’s psychologically easier to finish it than admit defeat. That’s how the first index came to be, and that’s why I’ve kept it up to date.

  • * Omslag Dutch Ships in Tropical:DEF 18-08-09 13:30 Pagina 1
    * omslag Dutch Ships in Tropical:DEF 18-08-09 13:30 Pagina 1 dutch ships in tropical waters robert parthesius The end of the 16th century saw Dutch expansion in Asia, as the Dutch East India Company (the VOC) was fast becoming an Asian power, both political and economic. By 1669, the VOC was the richest private company the world had ever seen. This landmark study looks at perhaps the most important tool in the Company’ trading – its ships. In order to reconstruct the complete shipping activities of the VOC, the author created a unique database of the ships’ movements, including frigates and other, hitherto ignored, smaller vessels. Parthesius’s research into the routes and the types of ships in the service of the VOC proves that it was precisely the wide range of types and sizes of vessels that gave the Company the ability to sail – and continue its profitable trade – the year round. Furthermore, it appears that the VOC commanded at least twice the number of ships than earlier historians have ascertained. Combining the best of maritime and social history, this book will change our understanding of the commercial dynamics of the most successful economic organization of the period. robert parthesius Robert Parthesius is a naval historian and director of the Centre for International Heritage Activities in Leiden. dutch ships in amsterdam tropical waters studies in the dutch golden age The Development of 978 90 5356 517 9 the Dutch East India Company (voc) Amsterdam University Press Shipping Network in Asia www.aup.nl dissertation 1595-1660 Amsterdam University Press Dutch Ships in Tropical Waters Dutch Ships in Tropical Waters The development of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) shipping network in Asia - Robert Parthesius Founded in as part of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Amsterdam (UvA), the Amsterdam Centre for the Study of the Golden Age (Amsterdams Centrum voor de Studie van de Gouden Eeuw) aims to promote the history and culture of the Dutch Republic during the ‘long’ seventeenth century (c.

A lot of people (especially cynical journalists) ask me this question. It’s often assumed that astronomy - at best - is the useless pursuit of measuring the positions of stars in the sky, or - at worst - is something to do with being engaged in a secret follow-up to President Reagan’s Star Was military prograrnme. Whatever, astronomy is believed to be other-worldly, irrelevant, a waste of money, and something that is only studied by old men with long white beards.

The texts described in the book are divided into 24 general topics, including Science Nonfiction; Struggle and Survival; Fantasy Literature; Sports; Games and Hobbies; and Mathematics in Our World. To highlight literature that reflects the schools' multiple ethnicities, the booklist also introduces readers to recent literature that celebrates African American, Asian and Pacific Island, Hispanic American, and indigenous cultures. Each chapter begins with a brief list of selection criteria, a streamlined list of all annotated titles in that chapter, and an introduction in which chapter editors discuss their criteria and the status of available books in that subject area.
