Six-Legged Soldiers: Using Insects as Weapons of War

















Six-Legged Soldiers: Using Insects as Weapons of War
Oxford University Press, USA | 2008-10-10 | ISBN 978-0-19-533305-3 | English | 400 pages | PDF | 3.4MB

The emir of Bukhara used assassin bugs to eat away the flesh of his prisoners. General Ishii Shiro during World War II released hundreds of millions of infected insects across China, ultimately causing more deaths than the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. These are just two of many startling examples found in Six-legged Soldiers, a brilliant portrait of the many weirdly creative, truly frightening, and ultimately powerful ways in which insects have been used as weapons of war, terror, and torture.

Beginning in prehistoric times and building toward a near and disturbing future, the reader is taken on a journey of innovation and depravity. Award-winning science writer Jeffrey A. Lockwood begins with the development of "bee bombs" in the ancient world and explores the role of insect-borne disease in changing the course of major battles, ranging from Napoleon's military campaigns to the trenches of World War I. He explores the horrific programs of insect warfare during World War II: airplanes dropping plague-infested fleas, facilities rearing tens of millions of hungry beetles to destroy crops, and prison camps staffed by doctors testing disease-carrying lice on inmates. The Cold War saw secret government operations involving the mass release of specially developed strains of mosquitoes on an unsuspecting American public--along with the alleged use of disease-carrying and crop-eating pests against North Korea and Cuba. Lockwood reveals how easy it would be to use of insects in warfare and terrorism today: In 1989, domestic ecoterrorists extorted government officials and wreaked economic and political havoc by threatening to release the notorious Medfly into California's crops.

A remarkable story of human ingenuity--and brutality--Six-Legged Soldiers is the first comprehensive look at the use of insects as weapons of war, from ancient times to the present day. READ MORE

A Military History of Russia: From Ivan the Terrible to the War in Chechnya
















A Military History of Russia: From Ivan the Terrible to the War in Chechnya
Praeger Security International| 2006|ISBN 0–275–98502–4| English| PDF|281 pages| 1.3 MB

This book brings to light Russia's undeservedly-obscure military past, rectifying the tendency of American and Western military historians to neglect the Russian side of things. Russia, as both a Western and non-Western society, challenges our thinking about Western military superiority. Russia has always struggled with backwardness in comparison with more developed powers, at some times more successfully than others. The imperatives of survival in a competitive international environment have, moreover, produced in Russian society a high degree of militarization. While including operational and tactical detail that appeals to military history enthusiasts, this book simultaneously integrates military history into the broader themes of Russian history and draws comparisons to developments in Europe. The book also challenges old assumptions about the Russian military. Russian military history cannot be summed up simply in a single stock phrase, whether perennial incompetence or success only through stolid, stoic defense; it also shows numerous examples of striking offensive successes. Stone traces Russia's fascinating military history, and its long struggle to master Western military technology without Western social and political institutions. It covers the military dimensions of the emergence of Muscovy, the disastrous reign of Ivan the Terrible, and the subsequent creation of the new Romanov dynasty. It deals with Russia's emergence as a great power under Peter the Great and culminating in the defeat of Napoleon. After that triumph, the book argues, Russia's social and economic stagnation undermined its enormous military power and brought catastrophic defeat in the Crimean War. The book then covers imperial Russia's long struggle to reform its military machine, with mixed results in the Russo-Japanese War and World War I. The Russian Revolution created a new Soviet Russia, but this book shows the continuity across that divide. The Soviet Union's interwar innovations and its harrowing experience in World War II owed much to imperial Russian precedents. A superpower after the war, the Soviet Union's military might was purchased at the expense of continuing economic backwardness. Paradoxically, the very militarization intended to provide security instead destroyed the Soviet Union, leaving a new Russia behind the West economically. Just as there was a great deal of continuity after 1917, this book demonstrates how the new Russian military has inherited many of its current problems from its Soviet predecessor. The price that Russia has paid for its continued existence as a great power, therefore, is the overwhelming militarization of its society and economy, a situation it continues to struggle with.

Eliminating Female Genital Mutilation

















Eliminating Female Genital Mutilation
WHO| 2008| ISBN: 978 92 4 159644 2| English | PDF | 48 pages| 5.9MB

This Statement is a call to all States, international and national organizations, civil society and communities to uphold the rights of girls and women. It also calls on those bodies and communities to develop, strengthen, and support specific and concrete actions directed towards ending female genital mutilation. However, despite some successes, the overall rate of decline in the prevalence of female genital mutilation has been slow. It is therefore a global imperative to strengthen work for the elimination of this practice, which is essential for the achievement of many of the Millennium Development Goals. READ MORE

Regional Economic Outlook: Asia and Pacific, November 2008















Regional Economic Outlook: Asia and Pacific, November 2008
IMF|2008|ISBN 978-1-58906-761-5|English| 69 pages| PDF| 2MB

With the global economy entering a major downturn amid a deepening financial crisis, Asia is confronting the likelihood of sharply slowing growth and increased vulnerabilities. In particular, global financial stresses and the process of deleveraging by financial institutions are expected to continue beyond next year. This will dampen economic prospects in the region via a number of potential channels, notably lower demand for Asia’s exports, tighter funding conditions, more volatile capital flows, depressed equity prices and confidence, and deteriorating loan quality.

As outlined in Chapter 1, our baseline scenario sees growth in Asia slowing substantially before beginning a recovery in late 2009. With the global slowdown dampening exports, growth in Asia is projected to come primarily from domestic demand, which is nonetheless expected to slow. With commodity prices easing and growth declining below potential, inflation should decline. In fact, there are signs that headline inflation—and to a lesser extent, core inflation—have already peaked. Read More

Good Medicine, Summer 2008
pdf | 58 PAGES | 5.4 mB

Good Medicine magazine is published quarterly by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. It is distributed as a benefit to PCRM members.

In late 2007, the verdict came in. The American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Fund released the most comprehensive review ever compiled on nutrition and cancer risk. Many foods are linked to cancer, the report confirmed. But it reserved some of its strongest language for the link between processed meats, like hot dogs and bacon, and colorectal cancer. The evidence was deemed “convincing,” and no amount was considered safe: Processed meats should be avoided completely.

The term “processed meats” means those that are typically prepared or preserved by smoking, curing, or salting or by the addition of preservatives. This includes ham, bacon, pastrami, and salami, as well as hot dogs and sausages to which nitrites or nitrates have been added. Hamburgers and minced meats may be included as well, depending on processing. [Downlaod]

In the 21st century, agriculture continues to be a fundamental instrument for sustainable development and poverty reduction. Three of every four poor people in developing countries live in rural areas—2.1 billion living on less than $2 a day and 880 million on less than $1 a day—and most depend on agriculture for their livelihoods.

Given, where they are and what they do best, promoting agriculture is imperative for meeting the Millennium Development Goal of halving poverty and hunger by 2015 and reducing poverty and hunger for several decades thereafter. Agriculture alone will not be enough to massively reduce poverty, but it is an essential component of effective development strategies for most developing countries. [Download]

Unleashing Entrepreneurship: Making Business Work for the Poor
PDF | 64 pages | 5 MB

FORWARD: Ending poverty, the aspiration of the Millennium Development Goals, is the overriding developmental objective of the 21st century.Despite great progress in the past 50 years, 1.2 billion people—one-fifth of the people on Earth—live on less than US $1 a day, without access to many of the social services basic to a decent human life. Their plight requires a global response making full use of all the financial, intellectual and organizational resources that we can muster.

It is against this urgent background that Secretary-General Kofi Annan asked us to convene the Commission on the Private Sector and Development to answer two questions. How can the potential of the private sector and entrepreneurship be unleashed in developing countries? And how can the existing private sector be engaged in meeting that challenge? This report is our responses to these questions. [Download]

The Mystery of Banking by Murray N. Rothbard















The Mystery of Banking by Murray N. Rothbard
The Ludwig von Mises Institute| 1st Edition 1983 |ISBN: 0--943940-04-4 | English | 314Pages | PDF | 19MB
