The State Department published "Patterns of Global Terrorism" annually beginning in 1985, but announced in April 2005 that it would do so no longer; instead, the National Counterterrorist Center will publish annual Country Reports. This two-volume set offers a great service to policy makers, journalists, researchers, and the general public by publishing 20-years worth of Patterns in a thoughtfully prepared format. For this highly worthy project Sabasteanski (she's editor of the Terrorism Central database and newsletter, among other qualifications) has not only collated the material but provides context, coherence, and thorough access. Part 1 comprises a consideration and synthesis of documents about counterterrorism; Part 2 presents Patterns reports, revised and updated, on major global terrorist organizations. Subsequent sections present the annual regional and country reports; a chronology of significant terrorist incidents 1961-2005; 20 tables and 20 maps of terrorist incidents by country and group 1985-2004; and 40 graphs of trends over time (incidents, casualties, targets, and tactics).

The "Berkshire Encyclopedia of World History" is the first true encyclopedic reference on world history. It is designed to meet the needs of students, teachers, and scholars who seek to explore and understand the panorama of our shared human history. The encyclopedia takes a dynamic world history perspective, showing connections, interactions, and chage over time and place. Major articles by leading scholars from around the world examine essential themes and patterns such as Art, Disease, Government, Religion, Science, and War and Peace, with hundreds of articles on processes, movements, places, events, and people. Students and teachers at the high school and college levels turn to this definitive work for a connected view of world history--the story of humans and their place in the universe.
