Ideological blinders have led to millions of preventable AIDS deaths in Africa. Dr. Edward C. Green, former director of the Harvard AIDS Prevention Project, describes how Western AIDS “experts” stubbornly pursued ineffective remedies and sabotaged the most successful AIDS prevention program on that ravaged continent. Drawing on 30 years of conducting research in Africa, Southeast Asia, and other parts of the world in international health, Green offers a set of evidence-based and experience-rich solutions to the AIDS crisis. He calls for new emphasis on promoting sexual fidelity, the only strategy shown by research to work. Controversial but important findings for health researchers, international development specialists, and policy makers.

( "This new book by Robert Black and Edward Gilman covers...)
"This new book by Robert Black and Edward Gilman covers a whole group of plants barely touched by other writers. . . . a most valuable reference for its almost endless salt-tolerant plant lists needed for planning and planting coastal landscapes."--Thomas MacCubbin, Better Homes and Gardens syndicated radio host "Americans continue to migrate to the nation's southern coasts. Many of them try to garden and landscape their new homes, only to encounter a harsh environment with salt, sun, and sand that makes it challenging, to say the least. This book deals with this increasingly important--but neglected--topic. . . . A great help to home owners and landscapers alike."--Gary W. Knox, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida With colorful photographs of more than 400 plants, this comprehensive treatment of the selection and care of seaside plants will be welcomed eagerly by gardeners from Virginia to south Texas. As more and more of the nation's population moves to waterfront property, and as coastal construction surges, legions of business and residential owners have discovered the challenges of coastal gardening. Plants that might thrive inland often decline and eventually die. Though salinity is the most common and most hostile environmental stress, gardeners also battle poor soil, drought and downpours, high winds, humidity, and heat, not to mention occasionally freezing temperatures. Robert J. Black and Edward F. Gilman tell gardeners how to conquer these hurdles and establish aesthetic and functional plants that can adapt to a coastal site. Beginning with basic gardening precepts, they present step-by-step information on specific plants, planting, best landscape uses, cultural needs, and plant maintenance. They address watering, fertilization, pruning, and other care concerns of salt tolerant plants. This guidebook will be indispensable for all southern coastal homeowners, landscape architects, landscape designers and installers, landscape maintenance personnel, retail nursery personnel, extension agents, and for inland gardeners who face problems that result from salt water intrusion. Compact and handy, it will help them plan, plant, and maintain a beautiful seaside landscape. Robert J. Black is professor emeritus of environmental horticulture at the University of Florida. Edward F. Gilman is professor of environmental horticulture at the University of Florida.

( Colorful, chunky, irresistible, a book that's as much ...)
Colorful, chunky, irresistible, a book that's as much fun as a toy. Peter Lippman's 2.2-million-copy-bestselling Mini-House series is a hit with kids and adults alike. You pick one up. You hold it. You turn it around. You peer inside the windows, and then you pop the latch, opening the door to the story-and to a child's imagination. Haunted House is a wonderful and whimsical Halloween treat. The delightfully frightful story begins one dark and dreary night in a gloomy mansion. There are bats in the belfry, vampires in the windows, and an unseen narrator creeping from living room to bedroom, from attic to cellar, looking for the mysterious monstrous presence haunting the house. It's the little book that goes Boo! Selection of the Children's Book-of-the-Month Club. 145,656 copies in print.

(The eminence of its members and the authoritative appeara...)
The eminence of its members and the authoritative appearance of its Report caused nearly universal acceptance of the conclusions of the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, commonly known as the Warren Commission. On the other hand, among the minority who refuse to believe that the case is closed, many adhere to the view that the Commission, acting consciously, conspired to stifle the truth. This disturbing book espouses neither of these positions. Mr. Epstein, a young scholar at the time of publication, began this book with the intention of writing a case study of the nature and activity of an extraordinary government commission. He accomplished this task brilliantly. But in the course of interviewing nearly all members of the Commission, and many members of its staff, he discovered that the official version of the Kennedy assassination failed to contend with serious contradictions presented by the evidence. Inquest clearly traces the process by which this official story came into being; it does not indulge in theoretical speculation about a deliberate suppression of crucial evidence. Mr. Epstein instead proposes an explanation based on the concept of "political truth": the Commission, sincerely convinced that the national interest would best be served by the termination of rumors, and predisposed by its make-up and by the pressure of time not to search more deeply, failed to answer some of the essential questions about the tragedy. Inquest includes previously unpublished government documents and illustrations. Although the author's revelations are startling, he nowhere makes unsupported claims; his style is cool and objective. A sober, new view of the way the Commission dealt with one of the central events of our recent history, this book was destined to induce widespread discussion and debate.
