Paperback. Zustand: Good. This book contains four comparative studies of U.S. foreign policy after World War II. The first deals with the way in which American historians have analyzed the origins of the Cold War and argues that moralism, presentism, exceptionalism, and provincialism have been allowed too large a role in such analyses. Another study looks at the American empire and compares the U.S. role in the world after 1945 with that of the Soviet Union during the same period and that of Britain in the nineteenth century. The other studies examine the unique qualities and pendulum swings in American foreign policy and American and British policies toward Eastern Europe since World War II.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. In a world spiralling into a state of technological excess, Michael Dertouzos shows us how to make technology ? in all its infinite varieties ? work for, rather than against, us in our everday business lives. Now includes a new foreword by Tim Berners?Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web. At its core, Dertouzos' manifesto is this: Simplify the use of technology to the point where it works FOR us rather than having it dictate the way we live and work. This book is about getting to the point where computer fads give way to a true Information Revolution. To get there, we must abandon our current preoccupation with machine complexities and set a goal that is as simple as it is powerful: Information technology should help people do more by doing less. Dertouzos offers a look at the future and place of technology in everyday life: Where would a world of truly easy to use technology lead the human race? How might people change their way of life and work, their politics, their self perception and their quest for the meaning of life in such an environment.…
