Little, Brown Book Group Kill Me
Book SynopsisHe''s a rich, anonymous white guy. When he''s not making money in the boardrooms of multi-national pharmaceutical companies, he''s at one of his palatial homes with his wife and daughter or he''s deep cave diving in Belize. He enjoys power as well as money, and in all matters - business, pleasure, sex - he''s happiest on dangerous ground. He only has one fear: the fear of being dependent on others. But money can buy the means to circumvent this indignity, and he buys into an organisation - dubbed ''Death''s Angels'' - who guarantee to kill him if he ever reaches that point. Certain of the parameters he''s set, life goes on a normal. But it isn''t long before his past and his genes catch up with him, and he wants to change those parameters. Nobody told him that things weren''t going to be as easy as that. Because Death''s Angels never back out of a bargain . . .Trade ReviewBig, provocative and downright gripping * Michael Connelly *It is that rarest of creations - a thinking-person's thriller. In this age of the same-old, same-old fiction, White's novel stands dizzyingly above the pack * Jeffery Deaver *

Cambridge University Press After Gorbachev 03 Cambridge Russian Paperbacks
Book SynopsisDramatic and confusing changes in what used to be the Soviet Union have transformed the world in which we live. Communist rule has given way to multiparty politics; a command economy is being painfully privatised; almost every social and cultural value has been overturned; and perestroika has now been swept away by the reforming policies of Boris Yeltsin. In turn, these policies are now challenged by a variety of conservative and nationalist forces. This fourth edition of Stephen White's best-selling introductory text has been revised throughout. A new final chapter charts the first turbulent years of Yeltsin's troubled presidency and the background to his radical policies. Clearly written but detailed and authoritative, After Gorbachev, like its predecessors, will continue to provide an unrivalled guide to the processes of transition, upheaval, and collapse which now characterise Russia and the post-Soviet republics.Table of ContentsPreface; 1. From Brezhnev to Gorbachev; 2. Democratising the political system; 3. Glasnost and public life; 4. Reforming the planned economy; 5. The Soviet multinational state; 6. The Soviet Union and the wider world; 7. Gorbachev and the politics of perestroika; 8. Towards a new Russia?

Taylor & Francis Inc Cell Boundaries
Book SynopsisThe central themes of Cell Boundaries concern the structural and organizational principles underlying cell membranes, and how these principles enable function. By building a biological and biophysical foundation for understanding the organization of lipids in bilayers and the folding, assembly, stability, and function of membrane proteins, the book aims to broaden the knowledge of bioscience students to include the basic physics and physical chemistry that inform us about membranes. In doing so, it is hoped that physics students will find familiar territory that will lead them to an interest in biology. Our progress toward understanding membranes and membrane proteins depends strongly upon the concerted use of both biology and physics. It is important for students to know not only what we know, but how we have come to know it, so Cell Boundaries endeavours to bring out the history behind the central discoveries, especially in the early chapters, where the foundation isTable of Contents0. The E Words 1. Foundations of Membrane Structure 2. Lipid Bilayers 3. Interactions of Peptides with Lipid Bilayers 4. Membrane Protein Folding & Stability 5. Protein Trafficking in Cells 6.

Wiley-Blackwell Putins Russia and the Enlarged Europe
Book SynopsisThis authoritative work examines recent changes in Russia's relations with the EU and NATO and explores the patterns of support for these various orientations among its own elites and public. * Investigates Russian engagement with the enlarged European Union and NATO.Trade ReviewThis is an excellent and up-to-date study of Russia's ambivalent relationship with Europe and with European and Atlantic institutions. Under Putin, it demonstrates, the contradictions characteristic of Russian policy towards 'the West' have sharpened in the face of NATO and EU enlargement: fears of exclusion from the European state system, hesitations over inclusion, doubts and divisions over Russia's national identity, insistence that Russia cannot be required to operate within the rules that apply to other European states." Lord Wallace of Saltaire, Emeritus Professor of International Relations, London School of Economics; Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesman, House of Lords "How the EU and Russia coexist and cooperate will be a key issue over the next generation. The EU’s approach thus far towards the emerging Russia has been bedevilled by incoherence and inconsistency stemming from inadequate understanding. This meticulous study by three authoritative experts helps to bridge that gap, pulling together the manifold threads which connect Russia and Western Europe, and exploring attitudes and sources of tension on both sides. It should be required reading for policy-makers." Sir Roderic Lyne, former UK Ambassador to Russia "Through opinion surveys, focus groups, and elite interviews, they provide a detailed picture of Russian attitudes toward Europe...The book will be an invaluable guide to specialists."

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Putins Russia and the Enlarged Europe
Book SynopsisThis authoritative work examines recent changes in Russia''s relations with the EU and NATO and explores the patterns of support for these various orientations among its own elites and public. Investigates Russian engagement with the enlarged European Union and NATO. Evaluates the serious choices to be made on both sides about the obstacles to good relations, and about the policies to enable a form of Russian ''inclusion without membership''. Draws on extensive interviews with Russian decision-makers as well as a body of new survey evidence, official sources and recently published debates. Anticipates the issues that will become increasingly prominent, including competition in the ''common neighbourhood'' and controversy over the role of values in shaping Russia''s future position in Europe.
