CONTENTS: War Crimes and Genocide: 1899-1939 -- World War II in Europe and the Nuremberg Tribunal -- World War II in Asia, the Far East Tribunal, and Postwar Developments in International Law -- The Cambodian Genocide -- "Ethnic Cleansing" in the Balkans and the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia -- Machete Genocide in Rwanda and the International Criminal Tribunal -- Nuremberg's Legacy? Adoption of the Rome Statute -- Fulfilling the Legacy: Problem and Prospects. - JACKET TEXT: "The "ethnic cleansing" that has gripped the Balkans for much of this decade is but another chapter in the long history of man's inhumanity to man. Hopeful but unflinching in the face of such realities, Howard Ball's book focuses on international efforts to punish perpetrators of genocide and other war crimes. Combining history, politics, and critical analysis, he revisits the killing fields of Cambodia, documents the three-month Hutu "machete genocide" of about 800,000 Tutsi villagers in Rwanda, and casts recent headlines from Kosovo in the light of these other conflicts. Beginning with the 1899 Geneva Accords and the Armenian genocide of World War I, Ball traces efforts to create an institution to judge, punish, and ultimately deter such atrocities - particularly since World War II, since which there have been at least fifteen major cases of genocide." - ISBN 0700609776.

First printing. Series: Rhetoric, Knowledge, and Society. 8vo. xxxi, 208 pp. Figs., indexes. Pictorial boards [hardcover]. Burndy bookplate. SCARCE IN HARDCOVER FORMAT. Fine. ISBN: 080582085X "Dwight Atkinson, in his book Scientific Discourse in Sociohistorical Context, undertakes an extremely ambitious project: an attempt to integrate quantitative/linguistic, rhetorical, and historical analyses of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, 1675-1975 into a single, coherent account. By all criteria, Atkinson has been fully successful in this endeavor. This book provides detailed descriptions of the history of the Royal Society itself; changes in the rhetorical structure and contexts of PTRS texts; and changes in the salient linguistic characteristics of texts across historical periods. Then, in the concluding chapters, Atkinson integrates these three perspectives, providing us with the most complete account of a scientific journal to date. At the same time, Atkinson provides us with a convincing illustration of how complementary research methodologies can be synthesized to investigate the complex ways in which linguistic, rhetorical, and historical factors are intertwined in the historical evolution of scientific discourse." - Douglas Edward Biber, University of Northern Arizona. Atkinson teaches courses in applied linguistics and second language acquisition at the University of Arizona. CONTENTS: Editor's Introduction. Introduction. Conceptual Framework.
