Book excerpt: "Helen Caldicott reveals in this look at the costs and consequences of nuclear energy, the facts belie the incessant barrage of nuclear industry propaganda. In fact, nuclear power actually contributes to global warming; the true cost of nuclear power is prohibitive, with taxpayers picking up most of the tab; there's simply not enough uranium in the world to sustain nuclear power over the long term; and the potential for a catastrophic accident or a terrorist attack far outweighs any benefits."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Shanghai written by Nancy Van Itallie and published by Fodor's. This book was released on 1998 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Here is a searing and moving story from the other side of America's war on terror. A second-generation British Muslim born and raised in Birmingham, Moazzam Begg was seized at midnight from a family home in Pakistan in 2002. He was accused by the United States of being a terrorist - an "enemy combatant" - and held for more than three years, two of them at America's notorious prison at Guantanamo Bay. Enemy Combatant is Begg's eloquent, personal story of his imprisonment and detention - the first account by a Guantanamo detainee of life inside the infamous prison." "And what an unforgettable account it is. Begg spent much of this time in solitary confinement, was subjected to over three hundred interrogations, and witnessed the killing of two detainees before being released in 2005 without explanation or apology. This amazing view from within the prisoner's hood puts the United States' extralegal detention system in the sharpest possible relief."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: "This book on Ethics draws upon the words of wisdom found in the Mahabharata, following the spirit of Bernard Williams' proposal that we look for inspiration for the modern-day ethical understanding in the ideas of the past. In elucidating the literary and religious meaning of the Mahabharata, the author probes for the ethical and epistemological truth it contains, in the frame of reference of the uniquely Indian variety of existentialism. In the process he has not only come to an understanding of the principle of morality, along with the relation holding among Satya (Factual Truth), Rta (Truth as Value) and Dharma (Righteousness in Conduct), but has come up with observations that shed fresh light on the analysis of the epic itself."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Montreal and Quebec City 98 written by Fodor's and published by Fodor's. This book was released on 1997-12-29 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Seventeen years ago, three young women were killed, their bodies dumped in the wasteland of the L.A. River. The killer was never found, and the case was mysteriously closed. Now, all these years later, as memories from her past threaten her present, Detective Alex Delillo reopens the River Killer case." "After a chaotic year, homicide detective Alex Delillo's life if finally back to normal - her daughter is in college and she is experiencing the first pangs of an empty nest - until she receives a phone call about a death outside her Pasadena jurisdiction. The body of an unidentified man is found next to the river near Griffith Park with a single gunshot wound to the head - apparent suicide - and Alex was the last person he tried to contact before he died. When she goes to identify him, Alex comes face to face with the spitting image of her father." "Now, a half brother she never knew she had is dead under more than mysterious circumstances. LAPD thinks it's an open-and-shut case; Alex isn't so sure. When she reconstructs her brother's final hours, she discovers he had investigated on an old LAPD serial killer case from the '70s - the River Killings. He may have come across something buried deep within the case files, something that could have gotten him killed." "As Alex gets closer to the truth of her brother's murder, her father's past comes into alarming focus, and disturbing flashbacks from her childhood start to plague her. A journeyman actor who disappeared when she was child, her father had a history of violence against women, but was he capable of murder? And is he the one in the shadows, stalking Alex's every move and leaving a body count? In a chilling turn, Alex finds that the truth is as murky and as empty as the L.A. River itself."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Fodor s 98 San Francisco written by Fodor's and published by Fodor's. This book was released on 1997 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lia Purpura's daring new book of lyric essays, On Looking, is concerned with the aesthetics and ethics of seeing. In these elegantly wrought meditations, patterns and meanings emerge from confusion, the commonplace grows strange and complex, beauty reveals its flaws, and even the most repulsive object turns gorgeous. Purpura's hand is clearly guided by poetry and behaves unpredictably, wearing together, in one lit instance, sugar eggs, binoculars, and Emerson's words: "I like the silent church before the sermon begins."" "Purpura is writer-as-telescope, kaleidoscope, microscope, and mirror. As she says "By seeing I called to things, and in turn, things called me, applied me to their sight and we became each as treasure, startling to one another, and rare." This is, indeed, a rare and startling treasure of a book."--BOOK JACKET.
