We Were Caught Unprepared
This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The fact that the outcome of the 2006 Hezbollah-Israeli War was, at best, a stalemate for Israel has confounded military analysts. Long considered the most professional and powerful army in the Middle East, with a history of impressive military victories against its enemies, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) emerged from the campaign with its enemies undefeated and its prestige tarnished. This historical analysis of the war includes an examination of IDF and Hezbollah doctrine prior to the war, as well as an overview of the operational and tactical problems encountered by the IDF during the war. The IDF ground forces were tactically unprepared and untrained to fight against a determined Hezbollah force. ¿An insightful, comprehensive examination of the war.¿ Illustrations.
Survival In Auschwitz
A work by the Italian-Jewish writer, Primo Levi. It describes his arrest as a member of the Italian anti-fascist resistance during the Second World War, and his incarceration in the Auschwitz concentration camp from February 1944 until the camp was liberated on 27 January 1945.
Pandemic Exposures
An illuminating, indispensable analysis of a watershed moment and its possible aftermath. For people and governments around the world, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic seemed to place the preservation of human life at odds with the pursuit of economic and social life. Yet this naive alternative belies the complexity of the entanglements the crisis has created and revealed not just between health and wealth but also around morality, knowledge, governance, culture, and everyday subsistence. Didier Fassin and Marion Fourcade have assembled an eminent team of scholars from across the social sciences to reflect on the myriad ways SARS-CoV-2 has entered, reshaped, or exacerbated existing trends and structures in every part of the globe. The contributors show how the disruptions caused by the pandemic have both hastened the rise of new social divisions and hardened old inequalities and dilemmas. An indispensable volume, Pandemic Exposures provides an illuminating analysis of this watershed moment and its possible aftermath.

Kite Kè m Pale
Jacques Pierre louvri kè l de batan nan Kite kè m pale pou l envite nou viv kouman entimite ak pwoblèm sosyal pran randevou nan menm kalfou. Powèt la fotografye difikilte ak kouran santiman ki travèse lavi medam yo. Epi, li wete chapo li byen ba pou li salye kouraj Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X, ak lòt lidè ki pa te pè batay pou yon minorite ki pran nan cho, e yo mete nan kacho souvan poutèt po yo. Pou fini, li envite nou viv de twa powèm nan langaj jagon ak bolit, epi yon katafal lòt ki fè yonn ak pafen lawouze nou jwenn nan bèl lang nou an. Rekèy powèm sa a se yon envitasyon otè a fè nou tout pou nou dekouvri bèlte lang nou an. Nan chak grenn mo, otè a plonje kè nou nan lanmè Karayib la, kote vag yo fè nanm nou tonbe nan yon ale vini jouk kouran lanmou an rale nou pou nou fè yonn ak powèm yo. -Wedsly Turenne Guerrier Lang nou ak kilti nou se rezilta kreyativite nou ki pran nanm nan lavi chak kretyen vivan. Se sa potorik otè Jacques Pierre fè nan rekèy sa a. Pierre marinen lang nou ak kilti nou ansanm pou ofri nou yon konsonmen kreyativite ki se temwayaj richès kiltirèl ak lengwistik Ayiti cheri nou an. -Marky Jean-Pierre
Twenty Lectures on Algorithmic Game Theory
Computer science and economics have engaged in a lively interaction over the past fifteen years, resulting in the new field of algorithmic game theory. Many problems that are central to modern computer science, ranging from resource allocation in large networks to online advertising, involve interactions between multiple self-interested parties. Economics and game theory offer a host of useful models and definitions to reason about such problems. The flow of ideas also travels in the other direction, and concepts from computer science are increasingly important in economics. This book grew out of the author's Stanford University course on algorithmic game theory, and aims to give students and other newcomers a quick and accessible introduction to many of the most important concepts in the field. The book also includes case studies on online advertising, wireless spectrum auctions, kidney exchange, and network management.
Constitutional Peril
Renowned attorney and political critic Bruce Fein reveals the dangers our Constitution and our nation have faced courtesy of the Bush Administration and a Congress asleep at the switch. In blistering detail, he deconstructs the policies of Bush in the War on Terror--from the flouting of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to the crippling of the Great Writ of habeas corpus--and forecasts that the damage he's done is unlikely to be repaired quickly or easily. As Barack Obama takes office, there are questions that involve the very foundations of our government and the degrees to which they have been undermined, either actively or passively, by nearly everyone in power today. By exploring the constitutional crises of the past--from Lincoln and habeas corpus to Nixon and Watergate--Fein compellingly and presciently begins to answer those questions.
