Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Man is a born philosopher and since the beginning of existence he has been searching for a meaning to life. Key Thinkers in Christianity introduces some of the most brilliant minds we have known and shows the capacity of their ideas to endure the test of time and shape the way philosophy and Christianity have developed throughout history.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Terrorism, which by definition targets civilians, is unacceptable, but a violent response to violence usually causes more violence. This book outlines some of the best thinking about nonviolent methods of resisting terrorism in the growing fields of international aid and nonviolent interposition. The first section covers immediate nonviolent response to terrorism: international negotiations, mediations, and adjudication, UN and citizen sanctions, cross-cultural communication, citizen initiatives, international treaties and the World Court, the International Criminal Court, and nonviolent resistance through raising consciousness to mobilization and resisting state-sponsored terror. The second section, on long-term non-violent response to terrorism, discusses halting arms trade and militarism, stopping arms flow to terrorists, defunding the military, building sustainable just economies, aid to the poor, reducing privileged overconsumption, peace and conflict education, understanding and using the media, refugee repatriation, and helping indigenous liberation struggles.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Behind all champions there is a coach teaching technique, stamina, and attitude, pushing them to be the best they can be, and helping them get back up when they fall. Aquatics coach Tom De Long, born in 1937, is one such creator of champions. Coming from a working-class family, De Long learned early to put in effort and never give up. After graduating from Long Beach City College and the University of Denver, he spent several years working as a lifeguard at Long Beach. At twenty-seven, he came across an opportunity he couldn't pass up: coaching aquatics at the brand-new Foothill High School in Southern California. Thus began De Long's unprecedented fifty-year career as coach. He led the boys' and girls' swim teams, divers, and water polo players to dozens of championships and coached four Olympic medalists. A high achiever in his personal life too, he participated in competitive sailing for forty years, including finishing the TransPac sail to Hawaii at age sixty-nine. Here is De Long's story, from birth to present, from childhood antics to playing with grandkids-it's the story of a man who loves the California sun on his face and the smell of chlorine in his nostrils.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Population biology has been investigated quantitatively for many decades, resulting in a rich body of scientific literature. Ecologists often avoid this literature, put off by its apparently formidable mathematics. This textbook provides an introduction to the biology and ecology of populations by emphasizing the roles of simple mathematical models in explaining the growth and behavior of populations. The author only assumes acquaintance with elementary calculus, and provides tutorial explanations where needed to develop mathematical concepts. Examples, problems, extensive marginal notes and numerous graphs enhance the book's value to students in classes ranging from population biology and population ecology to mathematical biology and mathematical ecology. The book will also be useful as a supplement to introductory courses in ecology.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Within Western culture, World War Two continues to exercise an extraordinary fascination for generations unborn when it took place. The obvious explanation is that it was the greatest and most terrible event in human history. Within the vast compass of the struggle, some individuals scaled summits of courage and nobility, while others plumbed depths of evil, in a fashion that compels the awe of posterity. Among citizens of modern democracies to whom serious hardship and collective peril are unknown, the tribulations which hundreds of millions endured between 1939 and 1945 are almost beyond comprehension. Hastings tells the story of the war in a clear and compelling narrative, ranging across a vast canvas from the agony of Poland in 1939 and the horrors of the Soviet front to the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan in August 1945. This is a book which shows vividly what war meant for individuals from allied soldiers, sailors and airmen, to SS killers, to civilians caught up in the war like British housewives who endured the Blitz and the citizens of Leningrad who suffered through a siege of almost unimaginable horror.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "Monumental." --New York Times Book Review NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From one of the foremost historians of the period and the acclaimed author of Inferno and Catastrophe: 1914, The Secret War is a sweeping examination of one of the most important yet underexplored aspects of World War II--intelligence--showing how espionage successes and failures by the United States, Britain, Russia, Germany, and Japan influenced the course of the war and its final outcome.

This definitive global history of World War II intelligence reveals: Espionage and Counter-Espionage: A worldwide cast of characters from Britain's MI6, America's OSS, Germany's Abwehr, and the Soviet NKVD engage in a high-stakes shadow war. The Codebreakers: The story of Bletchley Park, the monumental effort to crack the German Enigma cipher, and how Ultra intelligence shaped Allied strategy from the Battle of the Atlantic to D-Day. Legendary Spies and Agents: Follow the extraordinary sagas of real-life spies, including the infamous Cambridge Five, Tokyo-based master spy Richard Sorge, and the valet known as 'Cicero'. Guerrilla Warfare and Resistance: An unflinching look at how partisans and resistance movements fought back, from the campaigns of the SOE to the vast and brutal Soviet partisan operations. Successes and Failures: A masterful analysis of how secret knowledge truly changed outcomes--and how pivotal blunders and overlooked intelligence could lead to disaster.…
