Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1983, more than one million Germans joined together to protest NATO’s deployment of nuclear missiles in Europe. International media overflowed with images of marches, rallies, and human chains as protesters blockaded depots and agitated for disarmament. Though they failed to halt the deployment, the episode was a decisive one for German society, revealing deep divisions in the nation’s political culture while continuing to mobilize activists. This volume provides a comprehensive reference work on the “Euromissiles” crisis as experienced by its various protagonists, analyzing NATO’s diplomatic and military maneuvering and tracing the political, cultural, and moral discourses that surrounded the missiles’ deployment in East and West Germany.

Book The Price of Admission  Updated Edition

Download or read book The Price of Admission Updated Edition written by Daniel Golden and published by Crown. This book was released on 2009-01-21 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “A fire-breathing, righteous attack on the culture of superprivilege.”—Michael Wolff, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Fire and Fury, in the New York Times Book Review NOW WITH NEW REPORTING ON OPERATION VARSITY BLUES In this explosive and prescient book, based on three years of investigative report­ing, Pulitzer Prize winner Daniel Golden shatters the myth of an American meri­tocracy. Naming names, along with grades and test scores, Golden lays bare a corrupt system in which middle-class and working-class whites and Asian Ameri­cans are routinely passed over in favor of wealthy white students with lesser credentials—children of alumni, big donors, and celebrities. He reveals how a family donation got Jared Kushner into Harvard, and how colleges comply with Title IX by giving scholarships to rich women in “patrician sports” like horseback riding and crew. With a riveting new chapter on Operation Varsity Blues, based on original re­porting, The Price of Admission is a must-read—not only for parents and students with a personal stake in college admissions but also for those disturbed by the growing divide between ordinary and privileged Americans. Praise for The Price of Admission “A disturbing exposé of the influence that wealth and power still exert on admission to the nation’s most prestigious universities.”—The Washington Post “Deserves to become a classic.”—The Economist

Book excerpt: Evangelista provides a new framework for analyzing U.S. and Soviet innovations in weapons technology. In America, development is generated from the bottom up with scientists providing the initial impetus. Soviet weapons innovation occurs from the top down, as soviet leaders react to external forces, particularly American initiatives. With current weapons programs such as the Strategic Defense Initiative, the author sees opportunities for arms control. The United States must recognize that technological innovation is no guarantee of security. The Soviet Union must decide not to match American innovation. ISBN 0-8014-2165-9: $32.95.

Book Funding the ICA Arms Race

Download or read book Funding the ICA Arms Race written by Michael Chapman and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to develop an understanding of the student perspective on student fee subsidies as part of the total cost of college, specifically the impact of athletic fees at American universities. Rising costs of running athletic departments at universities nationwide has led to increased subsidization of athletic departments through additional student fees, usually at a rate much higher than any other program on campus. The main contribution to this subsidization is through athletic fees charged to students as a part of tuition and general fees at most universities since most athletic departments are unable to support themselves financially. This study is a pilot study of a major Midwestern university, Ohio University affiliated with NCAA Division I athletics, the Mid-American Conference, and NCAA Division 1-A football (Football Bowl Subdivision), in advance of a potential national level project to assess the impact of student fees, specifically athletic subsidies, on the affordability of college. Nearly 20,000 surveys were distributed electronically to currently enrolled students at the baccalaureate, graduate, and doctoral levels on the main campus. Over 900 surveys were returned. Preliminary data indicate that most students do not know how much of an athletic fee they pay, nor is it clear in the overall bill. An overwhelming amount of students stated they are not willing to pay more for athletics and higher costs in the form of athletic subsidies could impact their own ability to obtain a college education.
