Ur and Sumeria have been called "the Cradle of Civilization."The Sumerians made advances in architecture, literature, farming, technology, and the sciences, while still revering their numerous and powerful gods.Battles were fought against hostile neighbors. Expeditions were mounted to extend their trade and frontiers. New forms of government were coming about. Allinji takes a leading role in these endeavors and in the advancement of women.Dr. Hugh Bowen, a retired psychologist, put together this exciting story based on his mother's accounts of her time in Iraq in the 1930s. She meets acclaimed author Agatha Christie, and joins her at the excavations of the ancient Sumerian city of Ur. This is followed by his own visits to the sites and his studies of Sumerian culture. He notes the Sumerians were very like us in building roads and putting up hostels for travelers; and very unlike us in thinking their gods determined everything they did. The author grew up in Wales and England, and now resides in Denver.

Say Boo to a Goose

It happens repeatedly, we do it almost without thinking, make our observations about human behaviour in terms of the other world - that of beasts and birds, fish and annoying insects. A particularly fierce woman, and she's a tigress, a clumsy man a bull in a china shop. Work hard, keep at it, and you're an eager beaver; become important and you're a big fish. Will it ever stop? I hope not, even although there are times for being formal and speaking 'proper English'. Does the Queen succumb? Probably, yes. Who in their senses would wish to banish 'cats' whiskers' or 'dogs' dinners'? The language suffers if it is to be always stiff and correct as, indeed, does the 'terribly proper' human. Which reminds me. In the west of England 'proper job' means fine, everything going well, but you won't get that in London, Manchester, Glasgow or Belfast. Here, in Book 4 of this series on English idiom, the message is 'loud and clear', as we say. Human behaviour and that of the 'lower' world' can be so alike that one may wonder where the one begins and the other ends. Allow the goose to scare you and not say 'boo' to it and his friends will get to know and you won't be in control of anything at all.

The 9/11 terrorist attacks prompted a new urgency in efforts to deal with chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear proliferati on. The potential acquisition and use by terrorist groups of such weaponry was suddenly a much increased threat. The G8 Global Partnership against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction subsequently encouraged some twenty-two countries and the European Union to pledge up to $20 billion to address this challenge. The creation of the Global Partnership was the first time so many countries agreed to collaborate on a range of non-proliferation, security and nuclear safety programmes, as well as commit such an amount of resources to them. Based on extensive primary research, this Whitehall Paper assesses the success and shortcomings to date of the Global Partnership, and suggests how the mechanism can be bolstered and taken forward.
