On the Idea of Humanitarian Intervention
This study launches a systematic inquiry into the nature of the concept of humanitarian intervention, focusing on its primary function of the protection of the endangered civilian populations who find themselves at the grave risk of genocide. This is strengthened by a recollection of selected historical examples of similar events and the responses to them by the international community, empowered by our modern understanding of the principle of state sovereignty, human rights, and anti-genocide legislation. Applying the in-statu-nascendi ontology that accounts for the latest hybridized compartmentalization of various IR-related theories, the author provides a deep ontological inquiry into the nature, origin, and genesis of the idea of humanitarian intervention and opens up a broader debate on the limits of the principle of state sovereignty as well as on the international community’s ignorance of some of the most severe cases of human rights abuses around the world.
Rain on the River
Chapbooks, musings, poetry, and prose by a folklorist with a “wonderful imagination, eye for detail and command of language” (Publishers Weekly). While Jim Dodge is internationally known for his fiction, his first and abiding passion is poetry. After eighteen years of publishing anonymously and only reading to local crowds in the Pacific Northwest, he began to issue occasional limited-edition letterpress chapbooks, as well as occasional broadsides and, since 1987, a Winter Solstice poem or story, most given as gifts to friends.

Roots and Branches
We don't have to choose between urban and rural life-styles, Edward Hoagland once wrote, because we can divide out time between the two; we do have to choose to be either easterners or westerners. But what separates the coasts besides three thousand miles of heartland? Roots and Branches helps answer this question by presenting a panoply of West Coast viewpoints. Compiled by Howard Junker from ZYZZYVA, the West Coast literary magazine, this book collects thirty-five recent essays by writers based in California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska. Often West Coast writers look to their roots--or pivotal experiences--elsewhere: Irma Wallem tells of first love in Oklahoma in the twenties; Blair Fuller recalls an early experiment with LSD; Paula Gunn Allen explores her Lebanese heritage in New Mexico. West Coast writers also pursue new directions as varied as their roots: John Haines writes about 'mudding up' his homestead in Alaska; David Harris tells of doing time as a war resister; others offer fresh perspectives on architecture, poetry and the natural world. Roots and Branches celebrates the vitality and diversity of West Coast writing.
