The ancient Indian tomb had been sealed for a thousand years, its discovery was an archaeological find. But few guessed its horrible secret, or knew that a certain Oriental super-villain, the fiendish Wu Fang, wished to enter its portals . . . not to study the withered bones, but to capture the death germs buried there -- deadly germs of a rare plague of madness which he meant to use to control the world!

They want to make you think about what takes place between the lines, about what happens to the characters after the stories are over. In over twenty tales, the situations run the gamut: a newly-blind man wants to end his forty-three-year marriage, a husband makes his wife and their young nephew go to a church where sn...

This book examines this construction of the free trade tradition. Showing how historical construction is a vital component in the writing of doctrinal history, Lars Magnusson argues that it is important for historians of economic thought to distance themselves from the pra...

Middle Eastern cities cannot be lumped together as a single group. Rather they make up the urban kaleidoscope of the title, as the diversity of the six cities included here shows. They range from cities rich in tradition (Cairo, Tunis, and Baghdad), to neglected cities (Algiers and Sana'a), to newly emerging 'oil-rich' Gulf cities (Dubai). The authors are all young Arab scholars and architects local to the cities they describe, providing an au...
