First published in 1970, A Modern Introduction to International Law rapidly established itself as the most widely used and successful textbook in its field. This sixth  edition has now been completely revised and updated to take  account of many new developments. A Modern Introduction to International Law covers a variety of topics, from diplomatic immunity to human rights, and from recognition of government to war crimes. The book is original in several respects. The author is particularly concerned with the relationship between international law and international politics, and he devotes special attention to such controversial topics as self- determination and the expropriation of foreign-owned property where the conflicting interests and attitudes of different states are most apparent.

Surveying an area dense with conflicting observations and ideas, this volume vividly depicts the current state of knowledge as well as the great diversity of opinion in the field of population ecology. Ten papers by outstanding authorities focus on three main issues-the effects of environment and population density on population dynamics, the influence of animal behavior on population growth, and the possibilities of genetic feedback or short-term evolutionary change on control of animal populations. An incisive introduction by the editor establishes a frame of reference and supplies succinct resolutions of some of the important controversies dealt with in these pages.

<p>Historian, city planner, international lecturer, and early advocate of interdisciplinary study, Corinne Lathrop Gilb draws on disciplines beyond the conventional study of history to explore such diverse topics as symbolism in city planning, biorhythms as determinants of creativity, the intertwined histories of liberalism and corporatism, and the role of beauty in public policy. Woven as a subtext throughout this collection of articles, speeches and other short writings is Dr. Gilb’s inquiry into the dynamic between inner history (the “architecture of self-space”) and outer history. Thought-provoking and entertaining, Toward Holistic History is timely in its call for an historiography that recognizes the “great honeycomb” of pluralisms that defines our world.</p>
