Since the 1960s the environment has become an issue of increasing public concern in North America and elsewhere. Triggered by the Second Indochina War (Vietnam Conflict) of 1961-1975, and further encouraged by the International Conference on the Human Environment, held in Stockholm in 1972, the environmental impact of war emerged and grew as a topic of research in the natural and the social sciences. And in the late 1980s this led additionally to a focus and debate on environmental security. Arthur Westing, a forest ecologist, was a major pioneer contributing and framing both of those debates conceptually, theoretically, and empirically, starting with Harvest of Death: Chemical Warfare in Vietnam and Cambodia (1972) (co-authored with wildlife biologist E.W. Pfeiffer and others). As a Senior Researcher at the Stockholm and Oslo International Peace Research Institutes (SIPRI and PRIO), and as a Professor of Ecology at Windham and Hampshire Colleges, Westing authored and edited books on Ecological Consequences of the Second Indochina War (1976), Weapons of Mass Destruction and the Environment (1977), Warfare in a Fragile World: Military Impact on the Human Environment (1980), Herbicides in War: the Long-term Ecological and Human Consequences (1984), Environmental Warfare: a Technical, Legal and Policy Appraisal (1984), Explosive Remnants of War: Mitigating the Environmental Effects (1985), Global Resources and International Conflict: Environmental Factors in Strategic Policy and Action (1986), Cultural Norms, War and the Environment (1988), Comprehensive Security for the Baltic: an Environmental Approach (1989), and Environmental Hazards of War: Releasing Dangerous Forces in an Industrialized World (1990) --- as well as authoring numerous UN reports, book chapters, and journal articles. This volume combines six of his pioneering contributions on theenvironmental consequences of warfare in Viet Nam and in Kuwait, on the environmental impact of nuclear war, and on legal constraints and military guidelines for protecting the environment in wartime

The Conversion of Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg

The United States has looked inward throughout most of its history, preferring to avoid "foreign entanglements," as George Washington famously advised. After World War II, however, Americans became more inclined to break with the past and take a prominent place on the world stage. Much has been written about the influential figures who stood at the center of this transformation, but remarkably little attention has been paid to Arthur H. Vandenberg (1884--1951), who played a crucial role in moving the nation from its isolationist past to an internationalist future. Vandenberg served as a U.S. senator from Michigan from 1928 to 1951 and was known in his early career for his fervent anti-interventionism. After 1945, he became heavily involved in the establishment of the United Nations and was a key player in the development of NATO. As chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee during 1947 and 1948, Vandenberg helped rally support for President Truman's foreign policy -- including the Marshall Plan -- and his leadership contributed to a short-lived era of congressional bipartisanship regarding international relations. In The Conversion of Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, Lawrence S. Kaplan offers the first critical biography of the distinguished statesman. He demonstrates how Vandenberg's story provides a window on the political and cultural changes taking place in America as the country assumed a radically different role in the world, and makes a seminal contribution to the history of U.S. foreign policy during the initial years of the Cold War.

Chuie, The Major: The Story of Arthur H. Turner, a Hero at Belleau Wood and Soissons, and a Marine in and out of War

CHUIE, THE MAJOR The story of Arthur H. Turner, a Hero of Belleau Wood and Soissons, and a Marine in and Out of War Sensing greater opportunity in America, the eighth son of an English merchant emigrated to the booming coal mining town of Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania in the 1880s and established a successful importing and retail foodstuffs business there. His son, Arthur, grew up in relative privilege, attending a local private school, then Princeton and MIT, emerging with a degree in civil engineering. Driven to help his country's allies survive and win what was becoming World War I, Arthur abandoned a bright future in American industry and joined the Marine Corps as an officer and served two years aboard warships in the Caribbean. Frustrated by his country's reluctance to enter the war in Europe, he resigned from the Marines and unsuccessfully attempted to join the French and British militaries. Rejoining the USMC nearly two years later, and the same month the U.S. finally joined the Allies in the war, Arthur--'Chuie' to his close relatives--helped build the Marine contingent of the American Expeditionary Force in Quantico Virginia, was promoted to Captain, and was the founding adjutant (second in command) of the First Battalion, Sixth Marine regiment--the 1/6.Newly-married Captain Turner sailed to France in late 1917. After six months training and front line trench duty, Captain Turner and the 1/6 helped lead the charges at the pivotal and savage battles that turned the tide and would lead to the War's end four months later. At Belleau Wood, the battalion helped take the Wood from top German forces, with Captain Turner receiving the Silver Star and French Croix de Guerre medals for valor. At Soissons a month later, while attacking across a wheat field, he lost a leg to a German artillery shell and was awarded another Silver Star and Croix de Guerre, as well as the Legion of Honor, France's highest decoration, for bravery and gallantry. Following six months of recovery--and with a new, wooden leg--Chuie embarked on a 20-year Marine Corps career as a court martial judge advocate in New York, Haiti, and Washington, enduring the depression years and earning promotion to the rank of Major.He retired in 1937, and he and wife Dorothy followed their twin sons to their high school and college locations, before Arthur served again during World War II as a Marine on the General Court Martial at the burgeoning Brooklyn Navy Yard.Finally adopting a quiet retirement in their Brooklyn apartment for nearly 25 years after WW II, Chuie learned to live with total blindness, the result of a decades-long, self-inflicted nutritional deficiency.This story lays out the turn of events, life decisions, and dominant role of the military in shaping Arthur Turner's world and his life's journey.

Most early approaches to encouraging social development focused on economic and technical issues. This volume begins from the premise that economic and technical patterns are embedded in cultural patterns. These patterns of custom and belief are sometimes elaborate, and they can act as barriers to technical or economic change. This volume presents case studies of social change, developing a model for analysis and action. An analytic guide is presented for each case history, and the editor points out factors that influenced the outcome of the project. The volume ais designed for people in the field, and is intended to be of practical usefulness.From hundreds of case histories, Arthur H. Niehoff selected nineteen that most clearly exemplify the technique of the innovator, the motivations of potential recipients and the reactions of these recipients due to local cultural patterns and values. These case histories of efforts at innovation in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia illustrate the specific problems facing American change agents abroad and define the basic ingredients of socio-economic change. Covering the types of problems innovators most frequently encounter in developing nations, Niehoff's compendium of successful and unsuccessful attempts at change demonstrates concretely the theoretical principles set forth.Prospective change agents gain fruitful insights into many problems by studying the practical examples of the programs of change agents in a wide variety of situations. Each of the case-histories is analyzed in the context of a socio-cultural concept of change, emphasizing the principles and factors of change. This book presents essential guidelines for perceiving and dealing with the cultural aspects of a change situation for all students of applied anthropology and social change.

Presidential Campaigns And American Self Images

This volume explores a central political paradox: why American scholars, journalists, and citizens periodically question the viability of their presidential electoral system and yet believe that presidential elections are our best hope for tomorrow. The book argues that the key to understanding this paradox lies in the concept of "self-image," exploring relationships between campaign activities and political culture. After presenting an introduction to the history of presidential campaigning and a theory of political image, the book arranges essays in three parts: images centered on candidates, mass media, and the public. A final essay assesses explanations of the contrasts between the 1988 and 1992elections and suggests tomorrow's research agenda.
