The Slave of Frankenstein
The hideous monster created by Baron Frankenstein still lives - and in the swampy lowlands of Virginia he is putting a grisly plan into action. Aided by unscrupulous men, he is creating an entire race of zombie-like creatures -- monsters of his own kind -- and his victims are slaves stolen from the Southern plantations. Frankenstein's son, Victor, has sworn to rid the world of this foul abomination. But the Monster has other plans for him. He needs Victor's skills if he is to achieve his power-crazed ambitions. And if Victor refuses to comply the Monster has promised to kill his beautiful, beloved daughter ... In the second of Robert J. Myers's chilling stories of Frankenstein's Monster, Victor's battle to destroy his father's nightmarish creation, begun in The Cross Of Frankenstein, moves heart- stoppingly towards its horrific climax.
Korea in the Cross Currents
The Korean peninsula underwent a continuous number of earth-shaking events in the twentieth century - although it is generally out of the earthquake zone. Jutting off the extreme northeast edge of the Eurasian landmass, and with a combined population of nearly seventy million people, North and South Korea are situated among China, Japan and Russia. They are also profoundly influenced by the United States because of the circumstances of the Korean War (1950-1953). The issues of war and peace, left over from the Korean war, remain unresolved; these two separate states are the residue of the Cold War. This anomaly still poses ominous prospects for war or peace in Asia, and American national sec...
U.S. Foreign Policy in the Twenty-first Century
"In U.S. Foreign Policy in the Twenty-First Century, Robert J. Myers gives coherent and pointed statement to a complex history of political theory involving idealism and its theoretical counterpart, realism. He sets out to restate the possible outcomes of the tension between idealist and realist expectations "so that there may be a broader consensus on what one can both expect and accept about how the political world works in normal times and in times of crisis.""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Middle England
This is the first major exhibition by Midlands-based artist John Myers. Comprising black and white photographs made in the 1970s, Ikon's selection includes Middle England (1970-1974), a number of portraits of individuals and families living in and around Stourbridge and the Black Country.Myers' approach is documentary in style, reflecting the taste, self-perceptions and aspirations of the people he photographed. Thus we observe them in their sitting rooms and bedrooms, or in their leisure or work spaces, surrounded by the telling paraphernalia of their daily lives. They pose with deliberate stances and gestures, responding to the sense of occasion engendered by Myers' use of a Gandolfi plate camera set on a tripod with a dark viewing cloth. As well as domestic interiors, occupied particularly by couples and women, we see the studio where a young girl attends ballet classes, the back yard where a boy plays football and a club where two men play snooker.

The Political Morality of the International Monetary Fund
Questions of international debt, world economic growth rates, and demands by the Third World nations for a "new international economic order" have thrust two relatively unknown international institutions, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, into public prominence. Controversy over the IMF--which helps debtor countries balance current accounts and meet debt payments--enters on the "conditions" that the lending institution places on receiving nations. Basically, debtor countries are required to put their economic house in order, usually by decreasing imports, increasing exports, and eliminating subsidies on food, gasoline, and other goods. Often, it is such subsidies that allow...
