Gaba Road
This is a very personal story about a relatively ordinary British couple working in Uganda East Africa. Idi Amin had fled the country after losing a war against Tanzania. This is an eye witness account about the Ugandan citizens who had survived the killing fields of Idi Amin's regime, only to be brutalized by the people they thought had come to liberate them. This story reflects a fascinating insight into the turmoil and horror of a country and its people suffering under political and social breakdown. It would be difficult to read this book without feeling the frustration, anxiety, compassion and fear. Author Cass Cassidy earned an MBE for his work in Uganda.

How to Solve a Murder with a Grump: The Anniversary
Miles and I are finally escaping to a tropical resort to celebrate our first year of marriage. I've been dreaming of bubble baths and kisses under waterfalls, but those fantasies pop like champagne bubbles after one clumsy collision at the airport changes everything. Suddenly, I'm being mistaken for an assassin known as the Spider. Now our romantic getaway is filled with threatening notes, mysterious code names, and a murder I didn't commit. So much for that couples' massage and late night Mai Tais in the hot tub. I might have to spend my anniversary proving I'm not a killer—if I can stay alive long enough to do it.
Creating Regimes
Oran R. Young is a key participant in recent debates among international relations scholars about the dynamics of rule-making and rule-following in international society. In this book, he weaves together theoretical issues relating to the formation of international regimes and substantive issues relating to the emergence of the Arctic as a distinct region in world affairs. Young divides the overall process of regime formation into three stages—agenda formation, negotiation, and operationalization—and argues that each stage has its own particular political dynamics. Efforts to explain or predict developments in specific issue areas, he suggests, require careful attention to each stage in the process. Empirically, Young examines in detail the events leading to the formation of the Arctic Environmental Protection Strategy and the Barents Euro-Arctic Region. Although these cases exhibit the defining characteristics of all international regimes, they broaden our understanding of institutional arrangements that are largely programmatic, rather than regulatory, in nature and that are based on soft-law agreements.
Polar Politics
Co-recipient of the 1994 Harold and Margaret Sprout Award, given by the Environmental Studies Section of the International Studies AssociationA region of critical environmental significance, the Arctic continues to be the focus of international conflicts of interest. How well have nations succeeded in creating regimes that establish international rights and responsibilities in the circumpolar North?
