Chemical weapons have been employed in many conflicts since the turn of the century, and they continue to proliferate as the poor man's atom bomb. NATO has expressed increasing concern at the chemical warfare capability of the Soviet Union and the United States has recommenced the manufacture of chemical weapons after a moratorium of 18 years. Against this background, this study examines the issues raised by chemical warfare, past and present. Assessing the history of the problem, from the time of World War I, when the use of chemical weapons first became commonplace, to the significance of chemicals used in the current Gulf War, the author argues for a balanced and realistic international response to this threat. The implications of future NATO policies and negotiations currently underway regarding chemical deployment are highlighted. Valerie Adams has worked in the Ministery of Defence, and the Department of War Studies at King's College, London. Her other publications include "The Falklands Conflict" and "The Media and the Falkland Campaign".

In the controversy over the reporting of the Falklands conflict, criticism focused on the media's use of armchair strategists to interpret and speculate about operations in the South Atlantic. Valerie Adams sets that media commentary in an historical perspective and examines its actual content to see whether the criticism was justified and whether the material actually helped to inform the public about the actions undertaken on their behalf. The issues raised in wartime by the relationship between the media, the government and the public in a democracy are explored: the Falklands' problems appear insignificant set against potential future difficulties.

Complex Words in English presents a comprehensive account of present-day word formation in English. Starting with a discussion of some basic issues, including the definition of 'word', motivation, lexicalization, productivity, the relevance of historical information and the usefulness of dictionaries and other data-bases, the book then moves on to describe in detail a variety of prefixing, suffixing and compounding patterns - all illustrated with copious up-to-date examples. Other topics that are explored in-depth include diminutives, backformation and other effects of reanalysis, Latin and Greek based formations and sound symbolism. Many examples are given in context: recent writing and the records of OED on CD ROM are drawn on to demonstrate the relationship between spontaneous coinages and familiar items. The comprehensive coverage allows an instructive overview and comparison of patterns and of the many and diverse factors relevant to the notion of productivity. Throughout, the discussions are placed in the context of other recent and less recent work in the area and the book also contains a useful extensive bibliography.

An Introduction to Modern English Word-Formation

Intimacy is what two people share without reservations. Talking to God is experiencing intimacy like no other. It's also like talking to man, you are sure to get an answer. It may not be the answer you want, but God is always speaking if you're listening. In every relationship, there are good times and bad times. Remember marriage vows prepare you just in case it gets rough, not that it will. The key to every great relationship is intimate communication. When you are intimate you are real. you are true. Going into any relationship with the right motives and intentions is the foundation of true friendships and love that will last a lifetime. "This book addresses the many complexities of the waiting game, the trusting game, and the journey of self and relationship with God. The "voice" of the story is very personable and real." - Melissa Jordan, author of "A Place of Solitude, 100 Days of Transformation" "Highly opinionated.......... -BooksPros "Wow! What an awesome inspiring book...... love that it is a quick read.....This book kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what would happen next. I felt like I was watching a Tyler Perry movie." -Patricia Norman, Lord and Norman, Inc.
