John, Paul, George & Ben
A humorous look at five of our country's founding fathers.
John, Paul, George, Ringo & Me
This is not merely a biography of The Beatles but a unique and vividly personal, first-hand account by a Liverpool-born author who knew John, Paul, George and Ringo as friends throughout the height of their fame. As The Beatles' Press Officer, he worked within the group's closest circle for six breakneck years during the Beatlemania era of the Sixties. Few were closer to The Beatles than Tony Barrow, and here, for the first time, he holds a mirror up to the Fab Four and offers his own insider's perspective on that four-way dynamic that spawned the greatest pop group the world has ever seen.
Ethno-erotic Economies
In Ethno-Erotic Economies, anthropologist George Paul Meiu looks at how fantasies of sexual difference create what we think of as "ethnicity" in a globalized world. Meiu draws back the curtain on a fascinating case of sexual tourism in Coastal Kenya in which young men deploy stereotypes of African warriors to establish transactional sexual relationships with foreign women. Meiu's deep familiarity with Samburu culture allowed him to explore the long-term effects of the sex trade on things like intimate affiliations, kinship, ritual, gender, and age in rural Kenya. What happens to communities when wealth becomes concentrated in the hands of its young men? How do these men seek to convert fast money into traditional, lasting forms of prestige to become "elders" and thus secure higher moral and social standing? And, crucially, how do others not privy to the sexual encounters themselves understand the circulation of new money? Meiu's exceptional skills as an ethnographer yield riveting testimonies from all quarters of Samburu society, resulting in a compelling look at how intimacy and ethnicity come together to shape the pathways of global and local trade in the postcolonial world.

Impact of Career Development Program Upon Local Coordinators
The general objective of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of the OCD Career Development Program. The specific objectives were to determine the program's impact on the local civil defense coordinator's knowledge of and ability to build and operate a viable local civil defense organization and to link the official (vertical) civil defense systems to the local community (horizontal) social systems. A portion of the data required to meaningfully evaluate a training program such as the Career Development Program was collected by a mail questionnaire which determined the perceptions of 128 local civil defense graduates of Career Development regarding changes in their knowledge, behavior, attitudes and degree of participation in civil defense related activities resulting from their attendance at the Career Development Program. The four impact areas--knowledge, behavior, attitudes and degree of participation--were utilized as the major criteria in assessing the degree to which Staff College is achieving the objectives established for the Career Development Program.
