Katyn
In the spring of 1940, the Soviet Union carried out the mass executions of 14,500 Polish prisoners of war - army officers, police, gendarmes, and civilians - taken by the Red Army when it invaded eastern Poland in September 1939. This work details the Soviet killings, the elaborate cover-up of the crime, and the subsequent revelations.

Hart van Europa
Ruim zestig jaar maakte Duitsland zich kleiner dan het was: economisch weliswaar een reus, maar politiek toch een dwerg. Schuld aan een barbaarse oorlog en de deling van het land in Oost en West waren hieraan debet. De val van de Muur bracht Duitsland wat tot zijn `normalere proportie terug. Maar pas de eurocrisis katapulteerde Duitsland in een nieuwe, leidende rol. Sindsdien kijkt heel Europa naar Berlijn. Onder Duitse druk zijn de teugels aangehaald. Hulp aan de probleemlanden wordt nu gekoppeld aan een verplicht herstel van solide openbare financiën en van een concurrerende economie. Zal dit beleid Europa duurzaam uit de crisis halen en hoe gaat dit `Duitse Europa eruitzien? Blijft Duits...
Ecohumanism
Humanists are sometimes accused of being so focused on the human race that they ignore the environment and other species. This book is designed to address these criticisms. The contributors, all humanists in the naturalistic tradition, show that in fact humanism as a worldview has much to offer environmentalism. Since humanists are committed to working for a global community in which all humans can flourish, they are as concerned about ecological degradation as environmentalists. But in regard to what should be done about environmental problems, humanists do not hesitate to use the best scientific information and technology to reclaim the natural world while ensuring the welfare of all human beings. Humanists stress that science and technology must be used responsibly and that human beings must learn to give up destructive ideological fantasies, whether political or religious. The contributors are Vern L. Bullough, Gwen Whitehead Brewer, Richard Gilbert, Michael J. Kami, Gerald Larue, Timothy J. Madigan, Sarah Oelberg, Don Page, Howard B. Radest, Philip J. Regal, Andreas Rosenberg, Harvey Sarles, David Schafer, John M. Swomley, Robert B. Tapp, Michael Werner, and Carol Wintermute.
The Crisis Of Global Capitalism
The global economy, on which the world now depends more than ever, is in crisis. The Russian economy has collapsed, leading to punishing inflation and economic hardship. Scores of Japanese banks are in ruin while the Japanese government muddles along, the nation falling deeper and deeper into recession. The once-booming economies of Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia have imploded. Brazil and the rest of Latin America has begun to edge toward the precipice, and even in Europe and America the markets lurch violently, wiping out gains with each passing week. No one is better positioned to explain the current global financial crisis than George Soros, the man Morgan Stanley head Barton Biggs cal...
Fortune and Misfortune at Saint Gall
