• Landmines: A Weapon of Mass Destruction in Slow Motion

  Kenneth Anderson

  Abstract for the book: Cahill, editor of A Framework for Survival (BasicBks, 1993), brings together an impressive group of internationally recognized experts in healthcare, human rights, and military affairs to pose "solutions to the global land mines crisis." The volume forms a complete and insightful policy primer on how to remove the 100 million landmines now deployed in over 60 countries, which claim 15,000 victims worldwide each year. Contributors call for international agencies and the U.S. government to act on the matter and provide an analytical framework for weighing immediate and long-term concerns and assessing the technical political, and moral aspects of the situation. While Paul Davies's War of the Mines; Cambodia, Landmines and the Impoverishment of a Nation (LJ 8/94) provides a moving humanitarian case with his in-depth study of landmines in Cambodia. Cahill's volume translates that concern into effective international and national policy dedicated to removing landmines both from past wars and from future wars. Recommended for academic and large public libraries.

  New concerns and new criteria for liberalism in America.Is conventional liberalism dead? Or can liberal ideology be restructured to meet the changing political realities of the 1980s?This provocative collection of essays by some of America's most progressive critics focuses on the issues of greatest importance to politically and socially conscious Americans. It brings a new perspective to health care, education, employment, welfare, and crime. Its approach to foreign policy stresses commitment to human rights and nuclear disarmament, as well as a renunciation of interventionary diplomacy. And for the first time, it fully acknowledges the mega-issues of environmentalism, biopolitics, energy, and global interdependence - areas which can expand and revitalize traditional liberal value.
