Unquiet Vietnam
Unquiet Vietnam retraces the ancient Vietnamese civilisation that has has been crushed by an avalanche of 21st century foreign investment following the violent mixture of French Colonialism and American imperialism. Visiting people such as the last remaining member of the Vietnamese imperial family, he becomes paints Indochina's twisted history as the military playground of empires--like the Middle East today--and uncovers an ancient culture struggling to remain alive as global forces pile in.
Capitalism with a Comrade's Face
Each of the essays in this collection dissects the upheaval in a particular institution in transition, such as central banking, the trade union movement, capital markets, or corporate governance. In a lively and accessible style, the authors bring out the links between what was and what will be in the social fabric of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. They expose the fragility of political and economic institutions that can easily threaten the region's rebirth, but they also believe that many post-Communist countries are successfully seizing the opportunity to become reunited with the West and the global economy.
Republic
A few years in our future, Ken Murphy is a National Guard Colonel and senior manager at a factory in tranquil Highview, West Virginia. When the local economy is thrown into a tailspin by a plant shutdown, Murphy is thrown out of work, with no way to pay for medical care for his son. In an attempt to prove they can operate on their own, the workers move in and occupy the factory. The government intervenes, escalating the labor dispute into a deadly confrontation. As the conflict intensifies, politicians on both sides refuse to back down or compromise, tipping the nation into a bloody civil war.
Protein Structure, Stability, and Folding
In Protein Structure, Stability, and Folding, Kenneth P. Murphy and a panel of internationally recognized investigators describe some of the newest experimental and theoretical methods for investigating these critical events and processes. Among the techniques discussed are the many methods for calculating many of protein stability and dynamics from knowledge of the structure, and for performing molecular dynamics simulations of protein unfolding. New experimental approaches presented include the use of co-solvents, novel applications of hydrogen exchange techniques, temperature-jump methods for looking at folding events, and new strategies for mutagenesis experiments. Unique in its powerful combination of theory and practice, Protein Structure, Stability, and Folding offers protein and biophysical chemists the means to gain a more comprehensive understanding of some of this complex area by detailing many of the major techniques in use today.
"... when Men Must Live"
"In the aftermath of Japan's devastating attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, thousands of American troops serving in the Philippines were invaded by Japanese air, sea, and land forces, necessitating a hurried retreat by Christmas Day to the nearby Bataan Peninsula and the island of Corregidor in Manila Bay. U.S. Army Air Corps Sergeant James T. Murphy and his fellow defenders of Bataan and Corregidor held off the enemy in a stand against overwhelming odds while awaiting the promise of American reinforcements that would never come."--Jacket.

Destined to Die
Destined to Die takes place in occupied East Jeruselem, the West Bank, and Lebanon (1979). Nabeel, a student at Bir Zeit University, is arrested on unsubstantiated charges of terrorism. Interrogated and tortured by Major Rosenberg, he is held in solitary confinement for weeks. Released, he decides to go to Lebanon to join the PLO. His devoted girl-friend, Samira--a fellow student--insists on going with him. Earlier, Dr. Johnson--the American director of an archaeological institution where Nabeel's father works--attempts to get Nabeel released from prison. Troops storm his offices, everybody is searched, and he is investigated by Major Rosenberg. Accusations and coercions eventually lead to J...
