The Merlin Press Ltd After Iraq: War, Imperialism and Democracy
After Iraq traces Iraq's colonial history, Saddam Hussein's brutal rise to power and their relationship to Iraq's major oil reserves. Harding also explores the rise of Pax Americana and the worldwide military expansion of the US following Bush Junior's presidency. He exposes the stark challenges to international law, multi-lateralism, the UN and to the USA's neighbours and allies. Harding suggests there are frightening ramifications for the USA's own democracy lurking in the fundamentalist proposition that we must make a choice in a "clash of civilizations." He emphasizes the need for concerted activism to challenge a US-dominated new world order.

Fernwood Publishing Co Ltd Canada`s Deadly Secret: Saskatchewan Uranium and the Global Nuclear System
"Canada's Deadly Secret" chronicles the struggle over Saskatchewan's uranium mining, the front end of the global nuclear system. It digs into impacts on Aboriginal rights, environmental health and the effect of free trade, tracing Saskatchewan's pivotal role in nuclear proliferation and the spread of contamination and cancer. Harding shows that nuclear energy cannot address global warming, nor is there a "peaceful atom." The book goes inside biased public inquiries; it exposes PR campaigns of half-truths and untruths and the penetration of nuclear propaganda into our schools. "Canada's Deadly Secret" also highlights successes in holding back nuclear expansion. It presents an alternative, ecological vision for a sustainable future that not only takes up the invitation coming from renewable energies, it also links energy, environment, health, peace and sovereignty.
