Malcolm Gladwell

In Blink, bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant A‚A?in the blink of an eyeA‚A? that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? How do our brains really work - in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others?

David P. Forsythe

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) coordinates the world's largest private relief system for conflict situations. Yet despite its very important role, operations remain mysterious and secretive. This book examines the ICRC from mid-nineteenth century origins to the present. Taking international humanitarian law into consideration, David Forsythe focuses on the policy making and field work of the ICRC. He explores how it exercises its independence impartially to protect prisoners in Iraq, displaced and starving civilians in Somalia, and families separated by conflict in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Cynthia Davis

With its historic buildings and landmarks, tree-lined neighborhoods, and automotive legacy, Detroit offers a treasure trove of subjects for the photographer and artist. Renowned photographer Cynthia Davis captures the soul of the Motor City in these remarkable hand-altered Polaroid photographs. From the graceful lines of the Ambassador Bridge to the elegant interiors of the Fisher Building, from the hubbub of Eastern Market to the jazz festival to the quiet streets of Indian Village and more, Davis's images transform Detroit into an evocative, even magical place. She creates these unique pictures by manipulating the gel-like chemicals in Polaroid photographs while they're still developing. This imbues her work with a dreamlike quality, somewhere between photorealism and impressionist painting. A must-have for Detroit fans everywhere!

Avi Jorisch

Includes CD-ROM containing real al-Manar Footage (with subtitles) This groundbreaking study explores Hizballah's official television mouthpiece, al-Manar television. Self-labeled the "station of resistance," Hizballah uses al-Manar as an effective weapon in its arsenal of war against both America and Israel. With viewers encouraged to carry out terrorist outrages and export the party's fiery brand of revolution, al-Manar has been a potent instrument in keeping the Arab world focused on America's role in the region, furthering the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and building Hizballah's credibility. Drawing on extensive research, including interviews with Hizballah officials, Avi Jorisch delves into the station's history, provides an operational overview, and offers an in-depth content analysis of programming.
