The Balkan's Angels I
The blood-soaked Balkan Wars have come to an end after years of violence, hatred, and extreme genocide. For a soldier named Tom, however, the battle has just begun. He is recruited in secret to hunt war criminals-some of whom are still in power. Europe cannot handle another period of embattlement; national forces will stop at nothing to keep the well-earned peace. This is where Tom comes in. He is recruited by an old friend to track and hunt the worst of the worst and bring them to justice before an international court. He heads into war-ravaged Bosnia, and, although his intentions are good, it isn't always easy finding the bad guy. Political unrest is still prevalent, and it seems as though no one is willing to help this ambitious soldier on a mission to do right. Worse, there could be a leak in their own department. Tom suspects there's a mole, so it's his team's first duty to destroy the villain. Then, they can go after the head honcho-the president of Serbia. Nothing is clear on the battlefront; friends be-come enemies, and enemies become friends. Tom must travel the whole of Europe to find his target, but he will stop at nothing to bring justice to an unjust world.
The Balkan's Angels Ii
It is mere months after Tom's capture of the Serbian ex-president. He and his unit built a strong bond over the course of their mission, but it is time for them to part ways since the job is done. The reward money helps, and Tom is prepared to nally retire in style. But the Serbian under-world that assisted in the president's capture now feels a need for revenge. They want payback for the violence Tom's unit brought to their country. Suddenly, Tom's unit is on the chopping block. An international manhunt is launched to nd Tom and the rest of his team. The ma a doesn't want them in a court of law, however; they want them dead. Tom's own country is of no help, as he is now considered a war criminal of a di erent kind-a guilty bounty hunter. Now, the team must get back together in order to save their lives and clear their names. Things are quite di erent now for the whole unit. For the rst time in his long, proud career, Tom now nds himself on the wrong side of the law-and it will take a lot more than friendly conversation to get out of Europe alive."

Russia's Turn to Persia
Draws on recently declassified and unpublished sources to provide an original and in-depth analysis of Russian and Soviet Iranian studies.
Values of Happiness
How people conceive of happiness reveals much about who they are and the values they hold dear. Drawing on ethnographic insights from diverse field sites around the world, this book offers a unique window onto the ways in which people grapple with fundamental questions about how to live and what it means to be human. Developing a distinctly anthropological approach concerned less with gauging how happy people are than with how happiness figures as an idea, mood, and motive in everyday life, the book explores how people strive to live well within challenging or even hostile circumstances. The contributors explore how happiness intersects with dominant social values as well as an array of aims...
Consumption and Everyday Life
This engaging book introduces key ideas and theorists of consumption in an accessible way. Case studies that describe familiar acts of consumption from areas of everyday life are used to ground relevant debates and ideas.
Summary Measures of Population Health
As life expectancy rates continue to increase in many countries around the world, comparative health assessments based on mortality rates alone give an increasingly inadequate picture of public health. This publication addresses a wide range of key issues regarding the measurement of population health using comprehensive indices which combine data on mortality and ill-health. It considers the various uses of such summary measures, as well as an appropriate measurement framework and specific ethical and social value choices involved. The contributors to this book include leading experts in epidemiological methods, ethics, health economics, health status measurement and the valuation of health states.
Translation Technique in the Peshitta to Jeremiah
This book presents an analysis of translation technique, defining and measuring areas of literalness and of freedom, and discussing the evident acceptability of a non-literal approach, in both the original translation and later editorial work, to relevant communities. Because the Book of Jeremiah is so long, a quantitative analysis was valuable, showing: preservation of the sense of the Vorlage; freedom in selection of lexical equivalents even for important words such as "sin" and in making numerous additions in pursuit of precision; and a similar approach by later editors. Passages which are not represented in the translation despite their presence in the Hebrew Bible, and sometimes also in...
