Conversations with Terrorists Middle East Leaders on Politics Violence and Empire

Conversations with Terrorists Middle East Leaders on Politics Violence and Empire

Drawing on original research and firsthand interviews Conversations with Terrorists offers critical portraits of six Middle Eastern leaders often labeled as terrorists: Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad Hamas top leader Khaled Meshal Israeli politician Geula Cohen Iranian Revolutionary Guard founder Mohsen Sazargara Hezbollah spiritual advisor Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Fadlallah and former Afghan Radio and Television Ministry head Malamo Nazamy. Veteran journalist Reese Erlich offers them a chance to explain key issues and to respond to charges leveled by the United States. Critiquing these responses and synthesizing a broad range of material Erlich shows that yesterday’s terrorist is today’s national leader and that today’s freedom fighter may become tomorrow’s terrorist. He concludes that the global war on terror has diverted public attention from the war’s real goal—expanding U. S. influence and interests in the Middle East—and offers policy remedies. | Conversations with Terrorists Middle East Leaders on Politics Violence and Empire

Kaplan's Principles of Plant Morphology

Kaplan's Principles of Plant Morphology

Kaplan's Principles of Plant Morphology defines the field of plant morphology providing resources examples and theoretical constructs that illuminate the foundations of plant morphology and clearly outline the importance of integrating a fundamental understanding of plant morphology into modern research in plant genetics development and physiology. As research on developmental genetics and plant evolution emerges an understanding of plant morphology is essential to interpret developmental and morphological data. The principles of plant morphology are being brought into studies of crop development biodiversity and evolution during climate change and increasingly such researchers are turning to old texts to uncover information about historic research on plant morphology. Hence there is great need for a modern reference and textbook that highlights past studies and provides the synthesis of data necessary to drive our future research in plant morphological and developmental evolution. Key Features Numerous illustrations demonstrating the principles of plant morphology Historical context for interpretations of more recent genetic data Firmly rooted in the principles of studying plant form and function Provides evolutionary framework without relying on evolutionary interpretations for plant form Only synthetic treatment of plant morphology on the market Related Titles Les D.
