Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - It is difficult to overstate the urgency of the terrorist threat against the US today. However, when policy makers and military strategists do not understand what motivates terrorists and terror organizations, they risk creating ineffective policy and military strategy. The purpose of this research is to create a General Model to serve as an abbreviated guide for military strategists and planners to gain insight into what motivates terror recruits to join terror organizations. The basic assertion of the General Model is that External Factors, Exposure to Terrorism, and Psychological Factors are essential elements in understanding why individuals join Islamic Fundamentalist terror organizations. An unfavorable combination of external factors - religion, politics, economics, culture, age, social networks, and education - cause the individual to live in a state of dissatisfaction with his circumstances. When the dissatisfied individual's social exposure to terrorism molds his values to see it as a legitimate tactic, the individual sympathizes with terrorists and terror organizations.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Wallach Art Gallery, Columbia University, New York: 15 September - 21 November 1998] ; "The reputation of William Hogarth (1697-1764) rests largely on his pictorial stories, a series of engravings that he called "modern Moral Subjects," the most famous being the Harlot's and the Rake's Progress. In this catalog, David Bindman works backward from Hogarth's reputation today--where he is seen by some as a conservative populist and by others as a political radical--and examines his impact on various artists over the past three centuries. Bindman also sets Hogarth's prints firmly in their historical context, discussing the artist's public and the different influences on his work, from Roman satire to the politics of the day. The result is an engaging and insightful portrayal not only of William Hogarth, but also of the middle years of the eighteenth century. Art lovers will enjoy this book, but so too will anyone with an interest in the literature and history of the mid-eighteenth century. " ; FINE. Book.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Political Miscellanies, compiled by William B. Giles Copyright page dated 54th year of Independence (1830) A collection of 56 speeches, letters, and pieces of legislation, most of them written or spoken by William Giles. There is no proper title page, nor does it appear that there ever was one. Copyright information appears on the back of a title but there is no publication information on the title page. Several of the individual pieces have their own title pages. The first collected piece,"Mr. Clay's Speesh upon the Tariff Mr. Giles Speech upon the Resolutions of Inquiry in the House of Delegates of Virginia" has a Richmond; Thomas W. White; 1827 title page. There is a table of contents, but pagination is all over the place. The first half of the collection is numbered properly, to page 188. Then most of the rest of the pieces are paginated individually. There are more than 500 pages in all. Contains several pieces of argument with Mr. Adams over the Embargo Act & a letter to Gen. Lafayette on slavery, in addition to much more relating more locally to Virginia. Bound in full leather which has been professionally rebacked. New leather on the spine is a perfect match for original, with original title label laid down. Hinged reinforces on the inside. This is a flawless repair; I am a binder myself & I'm much impressed by this. Inscribed on the 'title' page, "Presented to Doctor Lewis W. Chamberlayne by his friend Wm. B. Giles." At the bottom of the same page is another inscription, "Presented to Churchill Gibson Chamberlayne by John Stephenson. Warm Springs, VA. Sept 9/89." On the front endpaper are 2 more inscriptions. "Lewis W. Chamberlaybe. Richmond, Virginia," and "Churchill Gibson Chamberlayne, Richmond, VA." Done two generations apart. William B. Giles was a prominent Virginia statesman; He served as Governor, Senator, and member of the House of Delegates during the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Lewis Chamberlayne was a Richmond doctor. Churchill Gibson Chamberlayne was his grandson, a prominent writer and educator. John Stephenson (middle initial unclear in the inscription) is likely the son of John W. Stephenson, a Richmond native who traveled west, eventually becoming Governor of Kentucky. Gov. Stephenson died in 1888, but he had a son named John W., who may well have known the Chamberlayne family. Please email with questions or to request photos. Signed by Author(s).…
