Hardcover. Condition: Good. From antiquity to the present, women have played important roles in the dangerous world of espionage. These dynamic, intelligent personalities are often overlooked in history, though they have served just as nobly as their male counterparts. They have dodged bullets, remained silent under torture, and risked their lives in countless ways. Their work has affected the outcome of battles, wars, and elections. If not for the determination, patriotism, and unwavering courage of female spies, world history may have run a radically different course.This comprehensive volume, the first of its kind, focuses long-deserved attention on the role of women in espionage. It features the remarkable biographies of 150 female spies, carefully selected for their varied expertise and unique contributions.The book's entries convey many of the reasons women become spies, including revenge, patriotism, circumstances, and in a few cases, sheer boredom. They also help distinguish between myth and legend - those who were genuine spies and those whose reputations far exceeded their actions. Herein lie tales of love, intrigue, revenge, moral dilemma, double agents, loyal wives, consorts, and seduction - an exotic journey through centuries of clandestine operations.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. How Americans feel about guns is usually determined by personal experience rather than research results, observes sociologist Gregg Lee Carter. His goal in compiling Guns in American Society, the most comprehensive single source of information on the gun issue, is to help readers educate themselves.Is the high rate of violence in the United States linked to the prevalence of guns-or to a lack of social homogeneity and economic inequality? Should there be support for stricter or more lenient gun control? Should people carry concealed weapons for personal protection? What exactly did the authors of the Constitution mean by "the right of the people to keep and bear arms"? The encyclopedia doesn't tell readers how to answer these questions. Instead, it helps them sift through the latest thinking and research in the fields of criminology, history, law, medicine, politics, and sociology, providing objective information so they can make up their own minds.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 2. Over half of U.S. religions have formed since 1960, but the term "cult" applies only to a few high-demand religious groups. In the 1990s, a series of violent incidents involving alternative religious groups reactivated the controversy in the United States, Europe, and East Asia. High-profile terrorist violence such as the September 11 attacks has prompted interest in the issue of religion and violence, which in turn has stimulated new work on the cult issue.This volume surveys the cult controversies from the early 1970s to the present. Included is an in-depth look at brainwashing and the issue of alternative religions and violence. The principal controversial religions, movements, and individuals that have made the headlines are also examined.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. From School Library Journal Grade 9 Up-An accessible, intercultural examination of verbal and nonverbal communication. The alphabetically arranged entries are well documented and cross-referenced. The text itself, while a little dry, is highly informative and unfamiliar terms are defined in context. Captioned black-and-white photographs are sprinkled throughout; short bibliographies are supplied at the end of many of the entries. The author presents a cross-cultural perspective on theories of language and communication, making his work unique. The encyclopedia will also be helpful for readers needing concise definitions of terms in the field of communications.J. B. MacDonald, Milner Library, Illinois State University, Normal, ILCopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. Product Description An examination of verbal and nonverbal communication presents cross-cultural prespectives on theories of language and includes definitions of terms in the field of communications From Library Journal This latest installment in the "Encyclopedias of Human Experience" series includes 151 entries pertaining to the study of "language and communication from a cross-cultural perspective." Findlay, a cultural anthropologist, aims to avoid European ethnocentrism by showing how Western and non-Western traditions influence one another. Of the 126 cultures from five continents cited in this encyclopedia, only one is European: British Cockney-speakers. Throughout, Findlay focuses on "communicative competence," the cultural and social rules an individual must know in order to use a language. Each entry is written with great clarity and followed by bibliographic information and cross references. An especially helpful feature is the author's practice of defining technical terms within parentheses following the terms themselves; another is the excellent bibliography. Both the geographical range and the richness of the subject matter are to be applauded. While one might have wished for an explanation of how the cultures discussed were selected, this encyclopedia is a laudable accomplishment and belongs in high school, college, and public libraries.?Joan W. Gartland, Detroit P.L.Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Booklist The purpose of this volume in ABC-CLIO's Encyclopedias of the Human Experience series is to explore Western and non-Western traditions and sociocultural language conventions in an effort to deemphasize the Indo-European approach often used in the past. Findlay, a social scientist, defines 151 terms from an anthropological, ethnographic, and sociolinguistic point of view. Entries range from one or two paragraphs to several pages depending upon the topic. Discourse analysis and gender differences, for example, are among the longest. The author presents complex concepts in cross-cultural communication in thoughtful, clear terms.Some entries feature brief bibliographies. There is a lengthy bibliography in an appendix. Cross-referencing is adequate, and there are simple line-drawn maps in the front matter showing location of language groups mentioned in the text. The index leads the reader to individual ethnic groups (Apache, Hmong, Yanomamo), to individuals (Chomsky, Noam), and to topics (Black English, ethnographic methods, etc.)This is a compact volume that is easily held in the hand for quick referral and is a reliable source of information. It complements, but does not replace, David Crystal's Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language (2d ed., Cambridge, 1997), which is still the leader in the field of linguistics for the lay reader. Rather than using the alphabetical arrangement of Findlay's book, Crystal's work is divided into 11 thematic sections, allowing the author to explore topics more fully. One of these sections deals with language and communication. Another, which deals in depth with the origin of language, includes the following theories: Bow-wow,Pooh-pooh, Ding-.
