Peter F. Murphy's purpose in this book is not to shock but rather to educate, provoke discussion, and engender change. Looking at the sexual metaphors that are so pervasive in American culture jock, tool, shooting blanks, gang bang, and others even more explicit he argues that men are trapped and damaged by language that constantly intertwines sexuality and friendship with images of war, machinery, sports, and work. These metaphors men live by...

A report prepared by Transition 2001, a bipartisan panel of about 60 American leaders in the areas of foreign and defense policy, outlining the most important national security challenges for the new administration, suggesting priorities, and recommending specific courses of action that the new president could take in the early days of his administration. Such decisive early action will be critical for setting U.S. foreign and national securit...

This book addresses several key questions: Will America's European allies be able to muster the political will and military capabilities to project significant military force to help defend the Persian Gulf? How much military force can our European allies contribute today and in the future to Persian Gulf contingencies? Under what circumstances can the United States rely on allied force contributions? What are the implications of allied force ...

The aim of this book is to explain, analyze and compute the kinds of motions that appear in an extended vicinity of the geometrically defined equilateral points of the Earth-Moon system, as a source of possible nominal orbits for future space missions. The methodology developed here is not specific to astrodynamics problems. The techniques are developed in such a way that they can be used to study problems that can be modeled by dynamical syst...

Once every nine minutes in the United States, a woman is beaten by her spouse or partner. This work gathers together the experiences of women who have fallen victim to domestic violence, and those who have managed to escape and rebuild their lives.

Rausch des Glücks im Kampf mit Raserei der Verzweiflung, wollüstige Liebesseufzer, verwandelt inTodesröcheln..." wollte Hector Berlioz in teils autobiographischem Nach- und Mitempfinden vertonen, als er sich daran machte, das Drama "Romeo und Julia" seines passioniert geliebten Shakespeare ineine abendfüllende Form zu bringen - die er dann gänzlich vorbildlos zwischen Oper und Sinfonieansiedelte.Sylvain Cambreling, engagierter Berlioz-Anwalt, ...

This volume presents five studies on key dimensions of union-management relations. Topics examined include union representation, financial consequences of unionism, wage determination, workplace innovation and conflict resolution in unionized enterprises in North America. In addition, the volume features four papers that examine university degree programmes in human resource management and industrial relations and, in particular, the extent to...

The usual usual "implementation" "implementation" ofreal numbers as floating point numbers on exist­ iing ng computers computers has the well-known disadvantage that most of the real numbers are not exactly representable in floating point. Also the four basic arithmetic operations can usually not be performed exactly. For numerical algorithms there are frequently error bounds for the computed approximation available. Traditionally a bound for ...

It is well known that the restricted three-body problem has triangular equilibrium points. These points are linearly stable for values of the mass parameter, μ, below Routh's critical value, μ1. It is also known that in the spatial case they are nonlinearly stable, not for all the initial conditions in a neighborhood of the equilibrium points L4, L5 but for a set of relatively large measures. This follows from the celebrated Kolmogorov-Arnold-...

A study of several problems related to the analysis of planned or possible spacecraft missions. Topics covered include the computation of quasiperiodic solutions for the motion of spacecraft, a description of the orbits near the collinear point, methods of computing the nominal orbit, and more.
