What is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)? What role is played by its members and partners? Does the largest military alliance ever to exist serve the cause of peace or the causes of weapons sales and war mongering? Published to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the alliance, this sharp, concise account examines NATO's origins, structure, and its goals at a time of mounting global tension.NATO has remade itself repeatedly, as its past purposes have disappeared. In the last 35 years it has been part of wars in Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya. It has played a major role in Ukraine, and supported warmaking by Israel. NATO is now expanding rapidly, both in geography and in scope, adding partners from Colombia to Mongolia to Australia, and claiming a role in policing, immigration, economics, public budgeting, scientific research, and environmental protection.With pointed investigations of how NATO's decisions are made, the widely misunderstood question of the way it is funded, its relationship to international law, and the available alternatives to it, NATO: What You Need to Know is an indispensable primer on an organization that not only confronts expanding military conflict but, the authors contend, plays an active part in its escalation.
Between 1500 and 1870, millions of Africans were transported across the Atlantic by European traders to work as slaves in the Americas. They were shipped in conditions of great cruelty to lead lives of hard, unremitting labour, subject to degradation and violence. The products of their labour – primarily sugar, coffee and tobacco – were sent back to Europe and the profits derived from slavery helped fuel European economic development in the 18th and 19th centuries. The cost in lives and human suffering was enormous. First published to accompany a permanent gallery in the Merseyside Maritime Museum, this reissue of Transatlantic Slavery with new material documents this era through essays on women in slavery, the impact on West and Central Africa, and the African view of the slave trade. Richly illustrated, it reveals how the slave trade shaped the history of three continents—Africa, the Americas, and Europe—and how all of us continue to live with its consequences.

Det ækle er en hundeprut, der er et bolsje. Det ækle er det, som er smattet og uformeligt, og det er det glatte og uhåndgribelige. Døden og forrådnelsen er ækel, men kravlende liv er det også. Det ækle selv er ækelt. Det ækle gør noget ved os. Det trænger sig på, fylder os med væmmelse, giver kvalme, sætter sig i næseborene og hænger fast på nethinden. Det ækle får os til at føle afsky. For kulturer, for politik, for køn, for kroppen. Og vi bruger det ækle i vores bedømmelser af verden, andre mennesker, andre væsner, ting. For det ækle anfægter os på det dybeste. Derfor handler Det ækle om vigtigheden af, at vi aktivt tager stilling til det, vi væmmes ved. For selvom følelsen af afsky er spontan og svær at kontrollere, betyder det ikke, at vi ikke er ansvarlige for den. For det ækle har betydning for vores holdninger og handlinger. Det ækle består af ni kapitler, der indkredser det ækle ud fra forskellige vinkler. Læs blandt andet om klam og grænseoverskridende ledelse. Om ulækre indvielsesritualer. Om lystfølelse i et seksuelt overgreb. Om afskyen ved den lækkende krop. Om teenagerens væmmelse ved pubertetens biologiske forandringer. Om den ækle anden. Og om vores fundamentale væmmelse ved at slå ihjel.
Trots att Nato är världens mäktigaste militärallians är dess historia och nutida inriktning förvånansvärt lite känd bland en allmänhet. Få känner till att Nato har deltagit i illegala angreppskrig i en rad länder, alltifrån Jugoslavien och Afghanistan till Irak och Libyen, att Nato är ett verktyg för den ledande Natomakten USA att utöva kontroll över och politiskt inflytande i Europa, att Nato har underblåst kriget i Ukraina och förhindrat att en förhandlingslösning kommit till stånd, att Nato bidrar till att öka medlemsländernas militarisering på bekostnad av andra samhällsbehov, att Nato expanderar till andra världsdelar och nya verksamhetsfält. I Vad alla behöver veta om Nato men få känner till beskriver Medea Benjamin och Dawid Swanson hur den nordatlantiska försvarsorganisation som bildades för 75 år sedan har förvandlats till en allians som skapar och främjar krig och konflikter i hela världen. Därför menar de behövs det en global gräsrotsrörelse för att säga nej till Nato och nej till krig.JEFFREY SACHS OM BOKEN:»Den här boken är ett oumbärligt pionjärverk. Den kan rädda ditt liv kanske till och med allas våra liv. Nato är ett tydligt och högst närvarande hot mot världsfreden, en krigsmaskin som löpt amok och som opererar i det fördolda, bortom medborgarnas demokratiska kontroll.Krigsmaskinen fyller fickorna hos de vapenhandlare som håller liv i Natos kärnverksamhet. På så sätt drar Nato in det ena landet efter det andra i en veritabel malström av krig, instabilitet, massmigration och fattigdom. Under de senaste 30 åren har Nato lagt grunden till en enorm våldsstruktur som sträcker sig från Libyen till Afghanistan, och som har skördat oräkneligt många offer.Nato driver oss också allt närmare ett kärnvapen-harma- gedon. Kriget i Ukraina blossade upp på grund av USA:s be- satthet av att utvidga Nato till Ukraina och Georgien.Det finns ett akut behov av den här boken, eftersom Nato opererar med stöd av propagandistiska och vilseledande budskap. Våra regeringar påstår att Nato är fredsälskande trots att organisationen provocerar fram det ena kriget efter det andra. Våra regeringar påstår att Nato är en försvarsorganisation trots att den med våld störtar andra statsledningar.« Medea Benjamin är fredsaktivist och grundare av fredsgruppen CODEPINK och människorättsorganisationen Global Exchange. Tidigare har hon utgivit böcker som Drone Warfare: Killing by Remote Control (2013, med Barbara Ehrenreich), Inside Iran: The Real History and Politics of the Islamic Republic of Iran (2018) och War in Ukraine: Making Sense of a Senseless War (2022, med Nicolas J.S. Davies). Hon har tilldelats US Peace Prize och Gandhi Peace Award. David Swanson är författare och fredsaktivist. Han är chef för ickevåldsrörelsen WorldBeyondWar. Tidigare har han utgivit böcker som War Is Never Just (2016), Leaving World War II Behind (2020) och The Monroe Doctrine at 200 (2023). Han är nominerad till Nobels fredspris och har tilldelats US Peace Prize. Omslagets framsida Libyen, mars 2011. Få känner till att Nato genom massiva illegala bombangrepp hjälpte de islamistiska upprorsmännen, också kallade »Natos rebeller«, att störta landets regering. Sverige deltog med bl.a. åtta JAS Gripenplan och två understödsflygplan. Foto: Roberto Schmidt/AFP via Getty Images
A fascinating story of one man's impact on history (Sir Martin Gilbert, historian; Honorary Fellow of Merton College, University of Oxford). Vladimir Jabotinsky and Sioma Jacobi exchanged more than five hundred letters between 1920 and 1939. Yet Jabotinsky s right-hand man, who ran the London Revisionist bureau from 1934 until his premature death at the age of forty-two, and who nearly single-handedly managed illegal immigration to Palestine, is virtually unknown. This book resurrects the legacy of a remarkable man and awards Solomon Sioma Jacobi his rightful place in Zionist history.

Rare is the opportunity to see, much less own, an original. But this unusual, carefully crafted reproduction of Benjamin Graham and David Dodd's immortal Security Analysis gives you that chance--to read and treasure a true classic--the book that gave birth to value investing.Continuously in print through five editions, for more than 60 years, and through nearly a million copies, the primer for many of America's most illustrious investors--and the wellspring of Graham and Dodd's Wall Street Immortality--Security Analysis is indisputably the most influential book on investing ever written. Still the investors' bible, it's as frequently consulted today as it was when it first appeared in 1934.Of course, over the years and over five editions, Security Analysis changed. Its language was modernized. New material was added. Metaphors and examples were brought up to date. In the light of changing times, these alterations were necessary and appropriate.But what of the original book? The very durability of this work arouses our curiosity. And what we discover when we return to the original is very simply a classic, a work whose uncompromising worth has not paled since it first saw the light of day in 1934.The original words of Benjamin Graham and David Dodd--put to paper not long after the disastrous Stock Market Crash of 1929--still have the mesmerizing qualities of rigorous honesty and diligent scrutiny, the same riveting power of disciplined thought and determined logic that gave the work its first distinction and began its illustrious career.The words you will read here are eloquent. Not only a financial genius and a man of high repute for honorable dealings, Graham was a man of letters invited to teach in the literature department at Columbia University (as well as in the economics and philosophy departments).But this reproduction is far more than a historical curiosity, an interesting object, and a delightful read. It presents the original Graham/Dodd method of investing--told in their own words as they first described it in the 1930s.What exactly is this method that has drawn such longterm devotion in the notably fickle reaches of Wall Street?Graham and Dodd were Wall Street's first bargain shoppers. In this book they first explain their methods for locating bonds and stocks "which are selling well below the levels apparently justified by a careful analysis of the relevant facts." In this book, they tell you precisely how to find these undervalued securities and analyze those "relevant facts."Are these methods still practical and usable today? The great fortunes created by value investors Warren Buffett, Mario Gabelli, John Neff, Michael Price, and John Bogle testify that they certainly are.In their preface to this book, Graham and Dodd write that they hope their work "will stand the test of the ever enigmatic future." There is no doubt that it has.This distinctively wrought book is a careful reproduction of the 1934 edition, containing every word of the original.
This is the long-awaited reprint of Graham and Dodd's masterful first revision. The first edition of "Security Analysis", published in 1934, forever changed the theory and practice of successful investing. Yet the remainder of that tumultuous decade brought unprecedented upheaval to the financial world, compelling Benjamin Graham and David Dodd to produce a comprehensively revised second edition. It is that edition, out of print for decades, that you now hold in your hands. "Security Analysis, Second Edition", published in 1940, is considered by many (including legendary Graham student Warren Buffett) to be vastly superior to the first. Yet after three subsequent editions and over six decades, the insightful and instructive second edition could be found only in rare bookshops and closely-guarded private collections.McGraw-Hill, the book's original publisher, is honored to publish "Security Analysis: The Classic 1940 Edition". Identical in every meaningful aspect to the classic original, this is the long-awaited book that set the tone for decades of value investors. Let it provide you with a greater understanding of this country's financial heritage, along with timeless value investing insights that have proven relevant and profitable in all types of markets and financial environments - and will never go out of style.'The lapse of six years since first publication of this work supplies the excuse, if not the necessity, for the present comprehensive revision ...We have revised our text with a number of objectives in view. There are weaknesses to be corrected and some new judgments to be substituted' - From the Preface. The names Graham and Dodd have come to be inextricably linked in the minds of thoughtful, disciplined investors. Their 1934 book "Security Analysis" made the two synonymous with intelligent, long-term investing, and forever changed the face of Wall Street.While post-Crash traders and investors treasured the book for its rigorous honesty, determined logic, and unequalled track record of success, the authors saw only the 'weaknesses to be corrected'. The second edition of "Security Analysis", published in 1940, allowed Ben Graham and David Dodd to set the record straight. It was considered by many then, and is considered by many now - including Graham student and disciple Warren Buffett, to be superior in many ways to the first. Still, as subsequent revised editions appeared, the once - indispensable second edition fell out of print and became virtually impossible to locate.With "Security Analysis: The Classic 1940 Edition", McGraw-Hill returns this long-sought investment classic to the marketplace. While its timeless advice - that investors should ignore social trends, company prospects, and management styles to focus on the balance sheet - is as vital today as it was in 1940, it is the book's updated insights and observations that justify its importance in the annals of both investing and publishing.Even as the financial world sang the praises of 1934's groundbreaking "Security Analysis", Benjamin Graham and David Dodd knew they could improve it. And that they did, with the 1940 publication of a brilliant second edition. Now, after having been unavailable for decades, this influential book returns in "Security Analysis: The Classic 1940 Edition". As powerful today as it was for investors six decades back, it will reacquaint you with the foundations of value investing - more relevant than ever in tumultuous 21st century markets - and allow you to own the only book that could rightfully claim to have improved upon the eloquent first edition of "Security Analysis".

This Element documents the diversity and dissensus of scholarship on the political resource curse, diagnoses its sources, and directs scholarly attention towards what the authors believe will be more fruitful avenues of future research. In the scholarship to date, there is substantial regional heterogeneity and substantial evidence denying the existence of a political resource curse. This dissensus is located in theory, measure, and research design, especially regarding measurement error and endogenous selection. The work then turns to strategies for reconnecting research on resource politics to the broader literature on democratic development. Finally, the results of the authors' own research is presented, showing that a set of historically contingent events in the Middle East and North Africa are at the root of what has been mistaken for a global political resource curse.
