| 100 YEARS OF NOBEL PRIZES : Second Edition [Baruch A Shalev] Winning a Nobel Price is unquestionably the highest possible recognition of intellectual and personal achievement.

| AMERICA ANSWERS A SNEAK ATTACK : Alcan & Al Qaeda [Gordon Weil] An analysis of how America overreacted to Pearl Harbor at the outset of World War II by building the Alcan highway and other projects, believing that Alaska would be Japan's next US target. This governmental panic to 'do something' resulted in massive spending on unnecessary actions similar to what happened after 9/11 -- including waste, profiteering, bureaucratic infighting, cover-ups, and an assertion of America's dominating role in the world. But the Alcan Highway let black soldiers achieve greater racial equality and gave Harry S Truman sufficient prominence to lead to his selection as Franklin Roosevelt's running mate in 1944. { 241pp, 155x230mm, September 2004; £16.99, 0935047522:9780935047523 , Americas Group } |
| AND THEN THERE WAS ONE... [Michael Stone] This is the story of how a comfortable middle class Jewish family dealt with the political and economic turmoil caused by the end of the Czar's reign and the onset of Communist government in Russia and how it eventually made its way to Weimar Germany where it prospered once again, only to have to leave when the Nazi rule made continued life in Berlin impossible. Provides riveting vignettes of how the cataclysmic events that shook the world between 1914 and 1945 dramatically effected the author's own life and those around him in many walks of life. { 627pp, 155x230mm, December 2001; PB, £14.99, 0935047344:9780935047349 , Americas Group } |
