Microbial Threats to Health: Emergence, Detection, and Response

1 review
Committee on Emerging Microbial Threats to Health in the 21st Century

National Academies Press, 2003

What's not to like?
This document is a report written by the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences. It highlights the 13 current reasons for the emergence and re-emergence of microbial disease. My only problem is whith this book is that it didn't highlight the "Lack of political will" chapter enough. Most of the other 12 reasons could be controlled if we as a globe could overcome the "Lack of ...

Corporate Media and the Threat to Democracy (Open Media Pamphlet Series)

11 reviews
Robert W. McChesney

Seven Stories Press, 2003

A great book, if you can handle the truth.
While most media criticism looks at the personal politics of reporters and editors or other such nonsense, McChesney's terrific little book examines the news industry as an industry. Out of this analysis comes eye-opening revelations about why we get such a narrow perspective in the mainstream news, and why there is so little news reporting available that could serve to upset the corporate ...

Constantine C. Menges

Thomas Nelson, 2005

The China Threat Is Real-This Book Proves It
Here is a voluminous, well researched, and timely analysis of China's impending power grab in Asia. More books are sure to come, but so far none have been warmly received by the New York Eastern publishing establishment.

The Islamic Threat : Myth or Reality? (Third Edition)

33 reviews
John L. Esposito

Oxford University Press, USA, 1999

If you can be open a little, lots of informative details
Despite an automatic "us against them" response many of us may have to this topic, this erudite presentation should not be discounted and is all the more important to study. It is unfortunate that many Christians and Jews feel negatively toward Islam. To be fair, it is unfortunate the Islam emerged as a teaching meaning to supercede Christianity. However, Christianity seems to have begun and ...

Diane Pub Co, 2002

how can you not be supicious
just like developers buy up surrounding land to put the squeeze on those they want out of the way, China has virtually surrounded us, sucked our manufacturing and foundries away. With a flick of the switch they can put a serious hurt on the US, and then see the gas prices soar. Certain administrations have allowed CHina to now control our economy.

Alireza Jafarzadeh

Palgrave Macmillan, 2008

A Fact-Based Case Against Iran (but read with caution)
This book is a comprehensive, yet brief and accessible, fact-driven summary on the recent history of Iran and why it will be a global catastrophe to permit them to have any sort of nuclear weapons capability. To the best of my knowledge, this book is not written by a right-wing uninformed blow-hard. Instead, this book is written by the very terrorism expert who blew the whistle on Iran's ...
