"In The Iraqiv of Tanzania: Negotiating Rural Development author Katherine Snyder focuses on how the Iraqw perceive, respond to, and affect development in Tanzania. Snyder explores how the ideology of development affects people's actions, from what crops to plant, to what to wear and do at their weddings, and also considers how issues of development play out between elders and juniors, men and women, and wealthy and poor. She shows the creativity of local actors in adapting to new ideological shifts and using the rhetoric of development to pursue their own goals. Presenting the author's own fieldwork, avoiding jargon, and making extensive use of vignettes―stories of peoples' lives and incidents―The Iraqiv of Tanzania illustrates its themes in a manner useful and fascinating to students.".…

Four years later, the Soviets would shoot down pilot Francis Gary Powers and his U~2, thereby ceasing these missions. Within months, however, the CIA had another, and better, technical program in operation~the CORONA satellite. Throughout the Cold War and beyond, the CIA's scientific wizards would continue to devise high~tech ways to collect and analyze information about potential adversaries. Their mission was of such importance that a new branch of the CIA was created ~ the Directorate of Science and Technology. In this first full~length study of the CIA's Directorate of Science and Technology, author Jeffrey T. Richelson introduces us to key personalities who helped shape the directorate: Edwin Land of Polaroid, Albert Whedon, Carl Duckett, and others who operated secretly within the directorate such as Antonio Mendez, whose "technical service" skills helped six Americans escape Iran after the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in 1979. Richelson presents intriguing details~many never before published~of the directorate's programs and activities. For example, the CIA's wizards: Designed, developed, and operated a series of high~tech imagery and eavesdropping satellites and aircraft, including the KH~11 and RHYOLITE, which revolutionized U.S. intelligence capabilities. Established ground stations in Iran, Norway, and China to monitor missile testing as well as manning embassy listening posts around the world. Employed technical intelligence analysts and photographic interpreters to unravel the secrets of foreign missile and space programs and monitor developments, including Chernobyl and the Gulf War, across the globe. Devised a vast assortment of equipment to support clandestine operations~from collecting intelligence to assisting the escape of Americans hiding in Iran to helping Delta Force apprehend an ally of Somali warlord Mohammed Farah Aideed. Developed a key component of heart pacemaker technology and other scientific advances, which have medical or other purposes. Attempted to employ psychics to uncover foreign military secrets. Employed birds (and unmanned aerial vehicles that appeared to be birds) and cats as intelligence collection platforms. The Wizards of Langley walks us down the corridors of Langley through the four decades of science and bureaucratic warfare, in which lives and careers were risked, that produced the CIA we have today. Based on original interviews and extensive archive research, Jeffrey Richelson sheds a piercing lamp on many of the Agency's least understood activities.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. Cloth, xi, 276 pages, illustrations notes; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. *** "Matisse and Picasso achieved extraordinary prominence during their lifetimes. They have become cultural icons, standing not only for different kinds of art but also for different ways of living. Matisse, known for his restraint and intense sense of privacy, for his decorum and discretion, created an art that transcended daily life and conveyed a sensuality that inhabited an abstract and ethereal realm of being. In contrast, Picasso became the exemplar of intense emotionality, of theatricality, of art as a kind of autobiographical confession that was often charged with violence and explosive eroticism. In Matisse and Picasso, Jack Flam explores the compelling, competitive, parallel lives of these two artists and their very different attitudes toward the idea of artistic greatness, toward the women they loved, and ultimately toward their confrontations with death. / Jack Flam is Distinguished Professor of Art and Art History at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He has written extensively on nineteenth- and twentieth-century European and American art and his books include Matisse on Art, Matisse: the Man and His Art, 1869-1918, and Les peintures de Picasso: Un the tre mental. He lectures internationally and has been the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Senior Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities." - Publisher. Size: 8vo.…

About As New in all respects in a priced, protected dust jacket. 2nd printing. Clean and unmarked. Notes, bibliography and index. From the flap:"Spy, businessman, bon vivant, Nazi Party member, Righteous Gentile. This was Oskar Schindler, the controversial man who saved eleven hundred Jews during the Holocaust but struggled afterwards to rebuild his life and gain international recognition for his wartime deeds.The tale of how the "List" was really prepared is one of the most intriguing parts of the Schindler story that Crowe tells here for the first time. Forced into exile after the war, success continually eluded Schindler and he died in very poor health in 1974. He remained a controversial figure, even in death, particularly after Emilie Schindler, his wife of forty-six years, began to criticize her husband after the appearance of Steven Spielberg's film in 1993. In Oskar Schindler, Crowe steps beyond the mythology that has grown up around the story of Oskar Schindler and looks at the life and work of this man whom one prominent Schindler Jew described as "an extraordinary man in extraordinary times."
