Summary

Diplomatic Alliances offers a comprehensive exploration of how and why nations form alliances, examining their lasting impact on global conflicts and international relations. The book reveals that alliances are not static agreements but dynamic entities that evolve with geopolitical shifts. Intriguingly, these alliances can sometimes limit a nation's autonomy and even draw them into unintended conflicts, highlighting the critical need to carefully consider the long-term implications of such commitments.

 
The book progresses through three major parts, initially introducing foundational concepts and historical development of alliances up to World War I. It then examines the alliance's role in the World Wars and the Cold War, detailing how these agreements influenced military strategies and economic policies. Finally, it explores the post-Cold War era, focusing on the emergence of new forms of cooperation and addressing challenges like the evolving role of NATO and the rise of China.

 
By drawing upon a wide range of historical sources and quantitative data, Diplomatic Alliances provides an interdisciplinary perspective, connecting international relations theory, political science, and economic history. This approach offers a nuanced understanding of factors that shape alliances, making it valuable for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding global politics and the history of international relations.

    In Food, John Coveney examines "food as . . . " identity, politics, industry, regulation, the environment, justice, and gastronomy. He explores how food helps us understand what it means to be human. 
 
 
 
The centrality of food in life, and the importance of food as life, is undeniable. As a source of biological substrates, personal pleasure, and political power, food is and has been an enduring requirement of human biological, social, and cultural existence. Interest in food has increased across the academic, public, and popular spheres, fueled by popular media's constant play on the role of food and body size, and food and cooking, as a mass spectacle for TV audiences. Through food, we construct our social identities, our families and communities. However, Coveney also highlights the tensions between the industrialization of food, the environment, and the iniquitous distribution of food. He also considers how the food industries, on which most of us must rely, have also had direct effects on our bodies through diet, and the development of illness and diseases. 
 
 
 
This accessible primer is for students and general listeners alike, indeed, for anyone with an interest in food. It questions the idea that food is merely something inert on the plate. Instead, it shows how influential, symbolic, powerful, and transformative food has come to be.

    Survive Grief & Come Back to...

    Experiencing Grief is inevitable in life because death is certain. Nobody can avoid it, and yet it seems that too many people hide from this fact, preferring to 'leave it till later'. The very word 'death' is whispered and most often dodged if possible, preferring words like 'lost', 'passed' or 'sleeping'. 
Grief can be a shock when death occurs, even if it has been previously experienced because grief is never the same. My grief for my mum who died in 2019 was nothing compared to the death of our son, Jac in 1997, which catapulted me into this world of grief specialist, therapist and best selling author. For many clients 'counselling' worked just 'fine', however, I knew there was more to life having healed my mind, body and spirit because all three are affected by grief. So I used my grief and death knowledge, accepted the guidance of angels and spirit guides, and created bespoke programmes to heal aspects of grief such as anger and stress, elevating your energy and find out who you REALLY are, along with my powerful 5 month programme to heal and come back to life after grieving. 
Within these pages I offer grief knowledge, self help writing exercises and my own personal journey of discovery through surviving abuse, suicides, death and trauma. I can't promise you a happy ending, but I can promise honesty, truth and love. 
Paula J Roscoe 
Paula is a survivor and believes life is to be lived, never merely exist. Paula is a qualified Person-centered counsellor, Grief Trainer, Adult teacher, Women's workshop facilitator on a variety of healing modalities including voice and movement, Holistic therapist, drumming therapist,Spiritual Coach, Speaker, Angel Healer and Spiritual medium. She has combined all of her knowledge and experiences to create a powerful transformational programme designed to use the power of words to tap into your deepest core and heal your mind, body & spirit.

    THE NEW KALISHNIKOVS :: AK-47 - aka Drones 
This poem is about the new invention in war, of small arms arsenals - The Drone. Coming on the heels of the 
former mass produced and used small arm the - Kalashnikov rifle. 
The similarities of the AK and Drones, for widespread use are their cheapness to build relative to their 
use - cost benefit. Their individual strike and their reliability, and their 
effectiveness. 
In all its guises, it represents a new era in remote 'close contact'. 
The Drone itself being sent from a remote location and controlled at a remote location, 
but the target being an individual, small group or military vehicle like the Tank. 
Drones are fast becoming the choice of weapon in the modern age for battlefield contact.
