This primer provides an overview of the technical background needed to understand today's nonproliferation issues. It describes all the existing types of weapons of mass destruction and examines the threats they pose and their implications for regional and international security. The authors identify countries that have, or may have, programmes to develop such weapons, describe the technology needed to continue such programmes, and examine the extent to which these programmes violate existing international agreements. They also outline existing unilateral and multilateral measures designed to curb proliferation and discuss new measures that could strengthen current nonproliferation efforts.

To Gain at Harvest celebrates the courage, intellect, humility and passion displayed by figures of all shades of opinion and belief during the English Reformation.   Offering insights into the turbulent period of the English Reformation and its ideas, Jonathan Dean demonstrates the qualities of mind and heart, and the gifts of faith and character, which some of its leading proponents possessed.   Including chapters on Thomas Cranmer, Nicholas Harpsfield, Elizabeth I, Matthew Parker, and Katherine Parr, the book moves beyond old confessional lines to reveal the gifts and virtues possessed by women and men whose lives still inspire and whose writings remain one of the greatest treasures of English religious life.Contents:1.

Nicholas Harpsfield's remarkable career spanned almost the whole course of the Reformation in England. Born in 1519, he was educated at Winchester and New College, Oxford, before migrating to Louvain, eager to escape the increasingly ardent Protestantism of Edward VI's reign. There he was among the circle of family and friends of Sir Thomas More: Harpsfield's presentations of the life and thought of More were an especially vital component of his work, and also deserve deeper reflection, not least because of the way in which they shaped subsequent generations of Catholic writers. Returning to England in 1553 at the accession of Queen Mary, Harpsfield was launched on a career in the English church which was meteoric in its progress-a key interpreter and proponent of the project for the renewal of the Catholic faith. As Archdeacon of Canterbury and Vicar-General of London, he was well-known for his thorough and searching Visitation of the capital, and his passion for conformity and orthodoxy, zealous in the cause of restoring the altars and the apparatus of traditional devotion in churches, but also to ensure the adequate housing of priests and the effective catechesis and care of the people. Imprisoned after Mary's death until his own in 1575, Harpsfield became a figure of inspiration for the exiled Catholic community in mainland Europe. His extensive literary output, together with his role in shaping the Marian religious renewal, was to make him a crucial influence on later English Catholics and their recusant identity. Seen through the lens of Nicholas Harpsfield, English Reformation Catholicism assumes greater internal coherence and consistency than many of its recent commentators have allowed.

Ending Europe's Wars: The Continuing Search for Peace and Security

Europe

see notes for publisher info

The sad events in Bosnia, the march of folly in Africa, and the continuing violence along the edges of the former Soviet Union sometimes obscure the towering and positive international events of our time: the end of the Soviet Empire and of East-West divisions in Europe. But it should not be surprising that the fall of the Berlin Wall and the rapid collapse of communist regimes across Eastern Europe have reopened a host of questions about U.S. national interests and the relevance of existing security structures and institutions. For the United States, for NATO, and the former Warsaw Pact nations, there is neither precedent nor natural order to fall back upon now that the familiar certainties of cold war rivalries have been removed. Threats to security surely exist, but their nature is obscure and unpredictable. In fact, after the massive failure to anticipate the end of the Soviet system, we have reason to question our ability to know exactly what it is we should fear, let alone how to protect it.In this book, Jonathan Dean addresses a number of key questions and issues confronting policymakers today, including America's precise interests in Europe, the outlook for the evolution of the security relationship between the United States and Europe, the future of NATO, and the role of nuclear weapons in the new European security system. He provides us with a road map for the near-term development of European security. His research, analysis, and advice should be welcomed by all those who are in American policymaking circles who recognized what an immense stake we have in the successful reconstruction of a secure set of arrangements in Europe.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization turned 50 years old in April of 1999. With the expansion of membership to include Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic, the Alliance undertook increased security commitments and affirmed a new post-Cold War role for itself. Despite the US Senate's overwhelming endorsement of this expansion, however, many prominent contributing authors point out that hard questions about the Alliance's scope, mission, size and cost remain, regrettably, unanswered. This book considers a variety of viewpoints, all of which help one to reflect on the feasibility and advisability of a global role for NATO, and to assess the problems ahead for bringing peace, stability and unity to the European continent.

'An extraordinary family tale of survival' Sunday Times Human and curious . . . an admirable family memoir of migration' Guardian Jonathan Dean's great-grandfather, David Schapira, lived a life of epic achievement and epic suffering. Forced to flee Ukraine at the outbreak of World War I, he was blinded fighting for his adopted country then survived - just - the concentration camp that country later sent him to. In between he found love and laughter in Vienna, and became the first Austrian lawyer to train using braille - something no Briton would do until the new century dawned. 
Dean's grandfather, Heinz Schapira, was also a refugee. Aged 16, he said goodbye to his parents and embarked on a nail-biting journey to Britain, to escape his fate as an Austrian Jew. The prejudice he faced and assimilation he achieved are laid out in the pages of his diary, pages filled with pain and joy, surprising observations and irrepressible humour. 
 But this is no ordinary family history. As Dean visits the places which changed the course of his family tree - Vienna, Cologne, Ukraine - he finds history repeating itself. He talks to refugees from the Middle East, people who left their homes and families at the same age as David and Heinz. And he observes the warning signs: the bigoted excesses of Brexit Britain, the rise of the Far Right in Austria, the backlash against refugees in Germany. 
By viewing these contemporary experiences through the prism of his family history - and vice versa - Dean creates an impassioned, profoundly timely study of what it means to be a refugee, to be European and, ultimately, to be British.
