This book shows how the first institution of global governance was conceived and operated. It provides a new assessment of its architect, Eric Drummond, the first Secretary-General of the League of Nations, appointed a century ago. The authors conclude that he stands in the front rank of the 12 men who have occupied the post of Secretary-General of the League or its successor, the UN. Part 1 describes his character and leadership. His influence in shaping the International Civil Service, the `beating heart' of the League, is the subject of Part 2, which also shows how the young staff he appointed responded with imagination and creativity to the political, economic and social problems that followed World War I. Part 3 shows the influence of these early origins on today's global organizations and the large scale absorption of League policies, programmes, practices and staff into the UN and its Specialized Agencies.

When Great Britain levied heavy taxes against the colonies, the Eastern Shore's first beer geek, John Beale Bordley, swore off English ales and set his substantial estate to perfecting his own home brews. It took another two centuries and a revolution of a different kind to bring brewing back to the Maryland shore. In 1989, Wild Goose bore the gospel of drinking local to Cambridge before falling victim to the first craft beer bubble. The next wave of high-gravity harbingers like Eastern Shore Brewing, Burley Oak and Evolution Craft Brewing fought to change collective palates and legislation allowing them to serve up their frosty pints. Beer bard and blogger Tony Russo taps into this full-bodied history while introducing the region's bold new batch of brewers.

This volume contains three invited lectures and sixteen other papers which were pre- sented at the 14th International Conference on Nearrings and Nearfields held in Stellen- bosch, South Africa, July 9-161997. It was also the first nearring conference to be held after the untimely death of James R Clay, who over the years had been an inspiration to many algebraists interested in nearring theory. The occasion was marked by the invitedtalk of Gerhard Betsch, which was devoted to an overview of Clay's contributions to nearring and nearfield theory. This book is affectionately dedicated to the memory of James R Clay. All the papers presented here have been refereed under the supervision of the Editorial Board: Fong Yuen, Carl Maxson, John Meldrum, GUnterPilz, Leon van Wyk and Andries van der Walt.

As close to an autobiography as Jack London ever wrote,

Drinking to excess has been a striking problem for industrial and post-industrial societies - who is responsible when an individual opts for a slow suicide? The causes of such drinking have often been blamed on genes, moral weakness, 'disease' (addiction), hedonism, and Romantic illusion. Yet there is another reason: the drinker may act with sincere philosophical intent, exploring the edges of self, consciousness, will, ethics, authenticity and finitude. Beginning with Jack London's John Barleycorn: alcoholic memoirs the book goes on to cover novels such as Jean Rhys's Good morning, midnight, Malcolm Lowry's Under the volcano, Charles Jackson's The lost weekend and John O'Brien's Leaving Las Vegas, and less familiar works such as Frederick Exley's A fan's notes, Venedikt Yerofeev's Moscow-Petushki, and A. L. Kennedy's Paradise. -- .

Fargerik oppvekstroman fra amatørteatermiljøet i en amerikansk småby. I sin nye roman vender John Irving for alvor tilbake til temaet seksualitet, som var så tydelig i hans tidligere bøker, blant annet i Garps bok. Dette er en tidløs roman om vennskap og kjærlighet, på tvers av alder og kjønn, men også en roman som tar siste halvdel av forrige århundre på pulsen. Dette er en politisk roman, om et ømtålig emne, slik også Siderhusreglene var. Det er en hudløs og grusom bok, fra et utsatt miljø, men den er tidvis også både burlesk og morsom. I en og samme person er en fargerik oppvekstroman fra amatørteatermiljøet i en amerikansk småby, det er en bok om begjær og toleranse.- skrevet slik bare John Irving kan gjøre det.- fylt av humor, uventede vendinger og bisarre karakterer.

Kongen på fyllinga er en burlesk og eksplosiv debutroman, gjennomsyret av hat til et dobbeltmoralsk Amerika representrert ved den lille tyskættede byen Baker i Midtvesten. Og romanens hovedperson, John Kaltenbrunner, har grunn til å hate. Helt siden han stakk hodet fram første gang, er han blitt tråkket på og gjort til latter. Alle hans drømmer, hele hans nitide arbeid på familiegården er blitt lagt i grus. Tristan Egolf har skrevet en historie om hvor langt et tilsynelatende sunt menneske kan gå når det i årevis må leve med sin fortvilelse i taushet. Det er også en roman om en by der incest, blind vold, rasisme og sykelig religiøsitet florerer, for det meste i det stille. Og når kaoset endelig bryter løs, når det utstøtte og undertrykte virkelig gjør seg gjeldende, er det som om verdens undergang står for døren.

I denne klassikeren om "ridderen av den bedrøvelige skikkelse" lærer en klok og erfaren mann å se med mistro på alle illusjoner og ta tingene for hva de er, menneskene for hva de er verd, og livet for hva det innebærer av realiteter. Gjennom sine to hovedpersoner, den fattige adelsmannen Don Quijote og bonden Sancho, skildrer Cervantes to hovedtyper av menneskeheten - og to hovedtrekk i den spanske folkesjel: eventyrlyst, storhetsvanvidd, visjonær idealisme, og praktisk, nøktern livsvisdom og næringsvett.
